i should have expected the cliché

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2015)

This is my first review, and since i have watched over 2k movies from all over the world i will try to be as fair as possible, Reading other comments i must assume that the Scott impersonates Patton quite well, but i cant help but notice the unnecessary scenes, like the zooming to the American flag in the first half hour while the next scene is cars moving and parking to that specific spot.The brainwashing and manipulation through a film that focuses on the character of Patton doesn't change nor improves with scenes like these. On the other hand we have the comments in approx an hour after the film where they say along the lines 'he stops being an American and he becomes an ally' As if Americans do it better all the time. Or should i mention the outrageous speech given in the beginning? Knowing a lot about history makes me believe his words (if used by the real Patton) are nothing but brainwashing and propaganda. Unfortunately his character is so cliché #know it all - i am the best'' type which caused me nausea through the film in similar comments like that. On the other hand though the film overall is targeted to Patton's life and i think to that respect it has been executed well. I wish the film did not have these 10-15 mins of scenes to bother me so much as to not enjoy the rest of the film. The more i see war movies of Hollywood the more i want to watch movies from all over the world except there.
