It has to be said that George Scott has given General Patton a new soul, and he has an excellent interpretation whether it is from a distinct personality or a unique temperament. The film has a very systematic introduction to the main deeds of General Patton, defeating Rommel, seizing Messina, and rescuing the trapped compatriots. His offensive desire and commanding ability also have a profound presentation of his recklessness, stubbornness and irritability. Secondly, the film is also very clever about some of the scenes of the war. In the defeat of Rommel, the wide-angle aerial shot highlights the grandeur of the war, and it is an immersive feeling.

Patton quotes

  • Patton: There's only one proper way for a professional soldier to die: the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.

  • [last lines]

    Patton: [voiceover] For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.
