Review of Patton (1970) by Lord N — 30 Jun 2009
"Now I want you to remember, that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. he won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country" and with that line, the first in a long line of great 70's Best Picture winners begins.
what to say about George C. Scott's performance that hasn't been said a million times before. it is one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. He did such a great job making the character so fun to watch "ROMMEL YOU MISERABLE BASTARD I READ YOUR BOOK!" I could watch this movie over and over again.
the character of Patton is one of the best. "God have mercy on my enemies, I wont." pure genius. Final Verdict: Right on. George C. Scott's powerhouse performance combined with everything about this movie being amazing makes this an excellent Best Picture winner.
