Review of Patton (1970) by Lauren D — 16 May 2010
I think the main reason I didn't like it was because I didn't understand the context. I don't even know anything about the history of my own country (Australia) and so know even less about US history.
The only thing I know about World War II was that Hitler pwned the Jews. So, if a WWII movie isn't about Jews or Hitler, I don't get it. I get that I sound ignorant, but I honestly don't care about history at all, which probably accounts for my love of science fiction and things set in the future.
Anyway, the movie... I thought it was boring, obviously. I don't have a clue who the hell Patton was and I don't get what made him so important. I also didn't like George C. Scott or anyone else for that matter, all the dialogue sounded forced and they seemed very amateur-ish. I also hated the character of Patton because he has got to be the most boring person who ever existed, so I really didn't care about anything he was doing.
The whole movie just seemed pointless, but eh, that's just my opinion.
