I don't know when I watched it again, but I gave it a 5 at the time, but this time I gave it a 3 because he is also considered an epic production, and in terms of photography and character performances, he is really good.
Personal opinion This film is first of all a failure in the play, Barton Fink, in the 70s, when the social background was the stage of the US and the Soviet Union superpowers competing for hegemony, I didn't read the news or comments, it should have something to do with hawkish politics. , or that Barton Fink is a right-winger. And this movie is praising a political right-winger to reflect an American value, an American hero. This kind of hero is a little different from the previous heroes, and it does not fit into the tragic style of the tide in this society.
Without discussing the values, if the analysis is purely from the perspective of the play, there is no conflict in this film, or the conflict is not obvious. The most embarrassing situation for Patton is that World War II needed his talents, but not his values. The conflict came from this, but it did not perform well in this film. His pride, his failures, his triumphs again, and failures again, always feel like he is familiar with it, without the feeling of a heroic tragic hero that he should have. The root of this is that the big environment was not handled well. During World War II, the cruel aspect of the war and the political mediation aspect of the war were not reflected. The impression from watching is that General Patton is always victorious and the German soldiers are powerless. The shaping of the character again feels like a human King Kong Barbie, lacking the sense of historical mission, the personal charm exuded by the hero, the biggest fundamental reason is the value concept, perhaps this is especially in conflict with my own value concept: I will not Think of a killing fighter as an artist.
The biggest highlight of this film is that in terms of photography, the composition is beautiful and angular. Especially the large scenes under the wide-angle lens are handled beautifully.
