Biographical films have always been a very serious subject matter. For directors, it is not easy to make a biopic with good material, and it is even more difficult to make a good biopic. It requires rigorous directing skills, and the actors, the plot, and the "reported reporter" are all in one line. Of course, there are quite a few biopics that have received great acclaim in film history, and among them, "General Patton", the biopic that won the Oscar for best picture, has to be mentioned.
With a strong "Stand at attention!" our general, Patton came to power.
The opening speech took nearly six minutes, and it was not as official and blunt as imagined. Every word of General Patton is based on real historical records. These iron laws of Barton perfectly reproduce a real bloody general on the screen: sharp and sharp words, blood spurting incentives... Unlike those soldiers with iron faces, Patton's uprightness and majesty are using his own The soul shouts, tells the younger generation the rules of the game on this battlefield, and remembers the honor these soldiers have piled up with iron and blood!
This general is not too cold, his whole body is filled with blood, and every cell of his seems to be metabolized for the war!
Standing in front of the American flag, Patton represents the highest spirit of a country, and the countless medals of honor on his body are witnesses to the age of veterans in the military. Pacing on the podium, what he faced was not only the group of loyal soldiers off the stage, but also the present and future of this country. Every resounding cry is the most precious experience that the veteran fighter has exchanged for his youth. This unusual speech is doomed to the general's extraordinary life. Patton's era has just begun.
Later, the film jumps to the North African War of 1943. I stole a few empty shots describing the Gobi, and the sense of frustration in the battlefield permeates every corner of the film. The rush of American soldiers and the displacement of local residents are laying the groundwork for Patton's appearance. At this time, the warriors were like a group of hungry travelers in the desert, under the wrong leadership, they repeatedly ran into the wall like blind flies.
Sure enough, Patton's arrival is like a large oasis in this desert. Compared with the previous officer, Patton's "Three Fires for the New Officer" showed for the second time the unique military command ability of this war giant. Under his resolute and strict rectification, the military style was completely different. The soldiers were like warriors made of iron, and under the leadership of Patton, they fully demonstrated their unrivaled fighting ability, swept away the previous frustration and frustration. And this war was unquestionably won.
It is worth noting that the director subtly integrates the personal spiritual tribute to Patton in the narrative. Even the local aborigines and children, seeing the respected Patton, raised their right hand in awe and salute. Such ordinary but not trivial details magnify Patton's spiritual level again, and the film reaches its first spiritual climax.
"General Patton" brought us not only a supreme hymn to the genius of the military division, but also a master of the attitude and thinking that a soldier should have when facing the battlefield. As a biographical film, it does an excellent job of recreating the iron-blooded general perfectly, bringing this one-sided, contradictory general to the big screen. As an art film, it uses another way to describe various phenomena on the battlefield, to satirize this seemingly peaceful but hypocritical era with a strong smell of gunpowder!
Patton, this general is indeed not too cold.
