Movie Reviews of George C. Scott: The Last Days of Patton
Movie Review: One of America's greatest military leaders
Summary: 5 Stars
As a retired army officer and an adjunct history professor I thought it was important to review what I consider the best war movies depicting the challenges of leadership and the command of men.
The biopic "Patton" (George C. Scott), is one of the best movies depicting the remarkable and flawed career of one of America's greatest military leaders; General George S. Patton, famous tank corps commander of World War II.. The movie examines this legendary leader's career in North Africa and progresses through the invasion of Germany and the fall of the Third Reich. His reputation for exacting standards and constant harsh training techniques, including slapping soldiers who he thought were malingerers did not ingratiate him with his men and made him politically unpopular with the "brass." However, it was those very traits that also made him a great leader that got more fight out of his men than any other commander in Europe! The movie ably shows how Patton's battlefield genius garners him fear and respect from the Germans. When the movie shows how he is ridiculed by other generals for volunteering his corps to disengage from a pitch battle, turn it 90 degrees and in less then 72 hours move it 100 miles to relieve the "Battling Bastards of Bastogne" (101st Airborne Div.) it highlights all that was great in Patton as a military leader! That is why you should see this Oscar winning movie!
