One of it's Oscars went to George Patton the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and Flamboyant Patton designed his own uniforms sported ivory-handled six-shooters and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanuevered Rommel in Africa and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well in sight and poignancy his own volatile personailty was one enemy he could never defeat.System Requirements:Running Time: 170 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CLASSICS Rating: PG UPC: 024543519782 Manufacturer No: 2251978 Amazon.com essential video: One of the greatest screen biographies ever produced, this monumental film runs nearly three hours, won seven Academy Awards, and gave George C. Scott the greatest role of his career. It was released in 1970 when protest against the Vietnam War still raged at home and abroad, and many critics and moviegoers struggled to reconcile current events with the movie's glorification of Gen. George S. Patton as a crazy-brave genius of World War II. How could a movie so huge in scope and so fascinated by its subject be considered an anti-war film? The simple truth is that it's not--Patton is less about World War II than about the rise and fall of a man whose life was literally defined by war, and who felt lost and lonely without the grand-scale pursuit of an enemy. George C. Scott embodies his role so fully, so convincingly, that we can't help but be drawn to and fascinated by Patton as a man who is simultaneously bound for hell and glory. The film's opening monologue alone is a masterful display of acting and character analysis, and everything that follows is sheer brilliance on the part of Scott and director Franklin J. Schaffner. Filmed on an epic scale at literally dozens of European locations, Patton does not embrace war as a noble pursuit, nor does it deny the reality of war as a breeding ground for heroes. Through the awesome achievement of Scott's performance and the film's grand ambition, Patton shows all the complexities of a man who accepted his role in life and (like Scott) played it to the hilt. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - As great as the original!Wow! They really did an awesome job of creating the blu-ray version of this movie. I really like this classic and the blu-ray movie is a must for any Patton fan. The audio and video are excellent. I could not be happier with this blu-ray version. Well worth the money if you really enjoy this movie. Rating:  - pattona very good war film one of the best. I purchased this film after patton 2 disc and found out that it is not 2.35 aspect ratio but 2.20. After I purchased this version 2.35 aspect ratio to find out that the 2 disc is the letterbox original version that is the 2.20 widscreen. Rating:  - great movie, AWFUL picture qualityI have to agree with the very few that have called Fox on its despicable job with the picture quality on Patton. I give the film four stars (in case you were thinking i'm just being mean and unhelpful) and the Blu-ray one. In case you didn't red those others (and there should be MANY more critical reviews of this movie's quality), here it is in a nutshell. You've been duped. Oh no it isn't great picture quality. The remaster is AWFUL. Have you ... Read More Rating: - Amazing Blu-rayThe Patton Blu-Ray release is a fantastic remastering. By far one of the best picture quality Blu-Ray releases I've come across to date. Its a wonderful movie with awesome picture quality. Rating: - Fantastic remasteringI personally love this movie. My first purchase of this movie was in Betamax and I still love it. I was amazed at the difference in quality with the Blu-ray version. The colors and detail are fantastic. The sound is better, but not as good as you will get from a new action movie. I am very pleased to have this new release and strongly recommend it to any lovers of the movie. |
