General Patton fights World War 2

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2006)

This movie is the very epitome of all war films made. It combines action, good dialog, excellent actors, possibly the greatest and most recognizable soundtrack in the history of movies and a subject matter everyone is familiar with. It brings to life a man who had many faults and characteristics that no one other than George C. Scott could play and make it convincing. Not only is it a film about a man fighting Germans, but also of himself fighting his own personality that is his only undefeated enemy. The supporting cast particularly Karl Malden while not looking at all like Omar Bradley makes you believe that he is Omar Bradley. This movie done in 1970 has everything that most movies done now with special effects does not and on top of that it is a very patriotic movie, a man wishing to promote his country as a tool of good here to free the oppressed and destroy the oppressor. Without a single doubt in my mind I would label this film as a national treasure and a film that has no equals in it's genre.
