patton

Rating: Null/10 (21 April 2015)

Patton was directed by Franklin Schaffner and was released in 1970. It is wonderful film, and not to mention very long. George C. Scott played a knockout role as General Patton. The story does an excellent job in taking us through General Pattons campaign and portraying his gungho tough guy personality. The film begins in North Africa and goes through his campaign all the up to Europe. Patton was a defining film for Scott, the cinematography and shots of portraying north Africa were brilliant. This film was quite significant at the time because America was in the thick of the Vietnam war, so this film really created a sense of patriotism and what better way to instill patriotism than making a film about George Patton a rough tough red blooded America that stop at nothing to achieve full victory. overall I give Patton an 8.5/10.
