"General Patton" is a movie I watched in the film and television appreciation class. I like watching military-themed movies, especially this one. Since I watched General Patton's movie, I have changed my mind about military-themed movies With a new understanding, the integrity of the soldiers, the duty of the soldiers to the country, and the role of the soldiers, I have a further admiration for the soldiers.
In the first fifteen seconds of "Patton", the picture shows an American flag, and the four sides of it cannot be seen. In a jargon, the audience only knows that the flag occupies the entire picture, and it is impossible to estimate how big it is. , because there is only one flag on the screen and no other reference. At the same time, we heard loud human voices, followed by a "stand at attention" password and the sound of hitting the heels of shoes. Of course we knew that the loud noise was the troops. Then a small figure emerged from the lower border in the middle of the frame, or rather, rose up. This kind of picture processing, due to the unusual proportion of the frame of reference (Barton's figure is so small) and the change of the depth relationship (Barton appears in front of the national flag, so the Stars and Stripes relegated to the background in the audience's mind), so in the audience's mind The flag here suddenly became bigger, and the three-dimensional illusion was strengthened. The effect is likely to be that the flag is so big! In this way, the filmmakers first associated the United States with the Great Britain through visual hallucinations within only fifteen seconds of the film's opening. The theme is out. This is political propaganda of the highest order. What it uses is the natural reaction caused by the audio-visual language composed of light waves and sound waves in the audience's psychology. You are anti-imperialist, but when you look at this shot, the flag still gets bigger. You can say that the United States is not great, but Patton said, I did not say that the United States is great, I only came to the stage to give a speech to my soldiers, what are you talking about. Because the audio-visual language of the film is to imitate the human's audio-visual perception experience, so if its screen image is accurate, the change like this flag will be irresistible.
As a general, on the battlefield, Patton is like a cunning fox and a ferocious lion plus a mixed bodyguard of a rogue in the market, with cunning wisdom, fierceness like a beast and a rogue that makes the enemy and allies the same Both crying and laughing style. He is unscrupulous in his pursuit of victory and honor, and for honor he will rob allied troops of marching lines, combat targets, and even gasoline. It was his ingenious strokes on the battlefields of Italy and Europe that shortened the course of the war and saved countless lives. He terrified his enemies and made his allies love it and hate it. "Remember, the enemy is just as afraid as you, maybe more than you!" He asked his subordinates to fight bravely and never surrender. As a warrior, he revered brave warriors and despised those cowards, so on the Italian battlefield he did The incident of the soldier who was said to have some kind of mental illness and hid in the infirmary out of the palm fan was smashed by public opinion. But he inspired all the soldiers to understand what an honor it was to be under George Patton.
Patton said: "People who shout that everyone is equal are either fools or liars ! Only in the era when national interests are higher than personal interests can human beings progress. Individualism is a kind of corruption theory!" Classic, the characters are shaped into a very three-dimensional and full, fully restored and reproduced the true character of a war madman like General Patton. General Ledley's sentence is very eye-catching: "I fight because I have to have a beard, and you fight because you love to fight." Scott's performance is remarkable, especially the opening speech is very exciting and unforgettable.
