Own this classic war biopic; deliberately avoiding detailing it

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2008)

The war action itself the film puts at a lower premium while it plays up the organization of tactics and speeches and human conflict inside and of course outside the warring parties. In the realm this film shines. What could've been maxi snooze--it's talking by and large over battles is instead both gritty and funny. It contains of lot of standard war film characters and ups the quality of even those having less screen time than its stars. I've yet to find a war film funny while retaining the rather somber theme.
This all can be attributed to the pleasantly off-beat screenplay and of that big course that is George C. Scott's complex, more than occasionally hysterically funny performance as the title character. I feel one deposit his Patton in a different backdrop and improve an if the event is a mediocre piece and improve its overall quality. May the Hollywood community never get in its head to remake of this film.
