editor stay up late carefully sorted out some of the audience's film reviews, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. "General Patton" is a 1970 American movie. This work is based on real facts. Although it is based on the various battles of the British and American Allied forces in Europe and Africa during World War II, there are also many war scenes in it. But it is still biographical in nature, not a typical war film. won 7 awards in the year, including best film, best director, best screenwriter, and best actor.
During the war, to boost the morale of the army and the people, nothing is more effective than the real case. However, to be fair, "General Patton" is not a good movie.
First of all, General Patton himself is a controversial figure. Secondly, the films involved are real people in history. Furthermore, as a military propaganda film during the war, in the face of the high anti-war sentiment in the country, there should be no tragic battle scenes in the film. Whether it is our army or the enemy's corpses, it will only remind the public. The cruelty of the war has contributed to the anti-war sentiment. Finally, the film must not contain any content that would damage the image of the U.S. military.Let the public have a negative perception of the US military, so the tactical errors, intrigue, and suspiciousness mentioned above must not appear, at least not on the US military side.
General Patton is not a likable person, even annoying! He is full of swear words and rude actions, but his straightforward style and outstanding military exploits have to be admired by everyone who knows him. He is a madman born for war. The machine gun facing the plane is just doing it, not evading it at all. the meaning of! Maybe he really has gone through too many wars. He has been unable to learn how to cater to politics and how to hide his dissatisfaction. "I haven't said anything like this, but I really wish I did."
saw him apologize to all the soldiers at Eisenhower’s request, the feeling of the gap came. Such a tough general still compromised under the order. This is the reality... He is really learning, converging, he Trying to put away the minions he was waving, and wagging his tail in disguise in exchange for the opportunity to go to the battlefield. At this great moment, he hopes that he can participate in it. Willy was the General Patton at that time. He was born for war, but contrary to his nature, he put away his fierceness and was frightened by a bluffing puppy. But would Patton be frightened? After the victory in the European battlefield, facing the Soviet commander, he still said such rude words without changing his face, although I did not agree with his approach, and even very annoying. But I have to say that this bastard is really bold.
General Patton’s rule of the army is amazing! The military discipline is strict and the requirements for soldiers are extremely high. Facing the wounded in the battlefield hospital, Patton was depressed and guilty, because the soldiers were wounded and died in his command. When facing the wounded man who was covered in bandages, Patton leaned down and put a medal on him.At that moment, I suspected that he was making a show, but he was Patton, he would not do this, he put his deep emotions into that gentle kiss. Correspondingly, in the face of the cowardly and emotionally collapsed soldier, Patton couldn't help getting angry and even slapped him in the face! "What war needs is a warrior, and he cannot be allowed to defile the sacred wounded here!" At that moment, I expressed my support! Cowardice is allowed in war, but deserters are not allowed! To cry and cry is an insult to the soldiers!
The tough style and the huge casualties are in exchange for the power to break! "What we have to do is impossible." In the face of the doubts of the generals present, he proudly said such a sentence! Where does his faith come from? ! This is not a novel with the protagonist's halo, this is a real-world war! It is impossible to imagine how he survived and achieved great feats with such arrogance. But he did it. Thus, the hero was born in the impossible! He rescued airborne division and liberated Bastogne !
U.S. World War II
used the jeep (four-cylinder water-cooled side valve engine), and President Eisenhower also called it a side-valve engine. Die because of it!
Back to the movie, there is not much description of war in the movie, and even the strategy and tactics that affect the world are just understatement, but Patton’s great role in war is shown, and there is also He has a retro character like Don Quixote, this is a veteran who can single-handedly go straight to the army! It is a pity that he lives in the past...
When he was removed from the position of commander of the Third Corps and walked out of the Eisenhower headquarters, he showed his sadness, loss, reluctance and helplessness. Under the huge headquarters building, he seemed so small, lonely, pitiful and insignificant. This reveals that Patton has turned from a legendary figure like a god of war into an ordinary old man,All glory and nobility are fleeting.
