WWII Epic

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2015)

Patton (1970) follows the amazing story of General George Patton during the second World War. The film does go into more detail about his life that I felt was a pleasant surprise. I expected to just witness a movie full of battles and action but the film really dove into his personal life and looked at the reasons why he acted like he did and what drove him. George C Scott immersed himself in the role and gave an absolutely terrific performance. Scott makes Patton seem very, very sure of himself which I found to be very believable especially because I have studied the General quite a bit. The foreshadowing of his death in the movie I found to be very eerie but well placed. I loved the film and I bet you will too.
