Patton

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2015)

The movie Patton is definitely a historical military-war movie. In fact, World War Two is merely forming and setting a backdrop. The battles are each downplayed in order to give the viewers the ability to see just how genius Patton was as a General. I see Patton as a warrior that leads the battles. George Scott does a fantastic job at portraying Patton through is hard, raw emotions and the endless amount of energy he puts forth. Schaffner, the director, did a wonderful job with the use of widescreen in this film. The lighting was done noticeably well. Schaffner was able to make it feel as if you were back in World War Two with them. I'm a fan of all military-war movies because I get sucked into all the action. This movie doesn't top my list of all time greats but it definitely is one of the better war movies out there.
