| Nelson_Mandela 06/07/19 2:17:58 PM #272: | #138. Patton https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f2/70_patton.jpg Dir: Franklin J. Schaffner Genre: War Year: 1970 Damn, one day late posting this on the 75th D-Day anniversary! Patton is a fucking man's film. A lot of war dramas, especially from the 1970s, try to show the horrors--or at least the dual nature--of war. Patton makes no such pretensions. It is a biopic about one of the most fearlessly brazen generals in American military history, featuring some of the most rousing speeches that are essentially verbatim from his actual ones. If you don't leave this film feeling inspired, patriotic, and proud, then you probably shouldn't have watched it in the first place. It's no wonder that this was Richard Nixon's favorite film. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
