In fact, the film had several episodes before shooting. The director had invited several famous movie stars to audition before shooting, but they were all rejected because of the character of the task created by the film. And George, who finally decided to play, refused to accept the award when he won the Oscar for Best Actor. Seems to recreate General Patton's style in real life.
In the famous battle of Sicily in history, Britain and the United States fought side by side. As the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military, he asked his subordinates to assist in the battle considering the British army's face. Although he performed well in future battles after winning the victory, he was honored for it, but because of his so-called personality, he was openly hostile to the Soviet Union at the gathering where the United States and the Soviet Union defeated Germany, which led to a lonely ending.
It is such a legendary and simple general that it is novel to bring it to the screen and reap the great success. But after careful analysis, the release of General Patton is a kind of pandering to American culture. Under the background conditions at that time, the United States was in a dark period of history, politicians were assassinated, the Vietnam War failed, and so on. Individuality is the mainstay of American culture and the stimulant. However, as a biopic, the film does not lose its true characteristics in the slightest. The dereliction of duty caused by misbehavior caused him to change the identity of his former subordinates, and then various character deficiencies led to his ultimate mediocrity.
Patton's establishment of the army itself has a double meaning. He is confident, he is proud, and he is familiar with military books, but he is also irritable and loses discipline. He is passionate but arrogant. I remember that at the beginning of the film, Patton was presented to the audience in different perspectives. He passionately incited the soldiers, he threw himself into the political speech, and the tour guide also effectively used the upside-down camera to show the general. Extraordinary creations.
Biopic biopics are very easy to have personal emotions, and biopics like this kind of biopic about the great heroes in the history of Acura can easily be shaped into a perfect image that lacks the real image, and the director makes use of the dual characteristics of the characters, which is very effective. It presents the good and bad of General Patton to the audience, while also ensuring the authenticity of the biography.
