I’m completely taken by this movie; I genuinely feel strongly about it. It means an incredible amount to me. Franklin J Schaffner directed Patton, which was written by Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North based on "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph" by Ladislas Farago and "A Soldier's Story" by Omar N. Bradley. The film features George C Scott, Karl Malden, Michael Bates, Edward Binns, John Doucette, Stephen Young, Michael Strong, and Cary Loftin. Jerry Goldsmith composed the music, and Fred J. Koenekamp was in charge of cinematography. The movie is a biographical account of George S. Patton Jr., charting his experiences during World War II up to his departure from military service. Coming out when it did, during the Vietnam War era, it’s striking that the filmmakers decided to release a film about one of America's most well-known—and disputed—military figures. With a truly remarkable performance by Scott as Patton, Schaffner and his collaborators accurately depict him as someone full of patriotic displays, immense self-importance, and surprising gentleness. It’s the layers of this character that Scott brings out which elevate the film considerably. Schaffner (of Planet of the Apes fame) demonstrates a keen ability to stage battle scenes—filmed in 70 millimetre (Dimension 150)—which immerses the audience directly into the brutality of war. The rest of the cast performs admirably alongside Scott’s powerful portrayal, and overall the film is a deeply affecting military biography that deserves its place as an important example of the genre. It earns a rating of 9/10.
