55 years ago today, on July 12, 1970 (June 10, 1970 lunar calendar), the American movie "General Patton" was released. The "General Patton" stills movie "General Patton" is based on L-Farago's "Patton - Hard and Triumphant" and O-Blatley's "A Soldier's Story". It was produced by the American "Twentieth Century Fox" company in 1970. Screenwriter: Francis Copra Edmond-North, director: Frank Lin-Schaffner Jr., starring: George Scott (as Patton) Carl Martin (as Blatley). Released in July 1970, it won awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Design and Furnishings, Best Editing, Best Recording and other awards at the 43rd Academy Awards of the Academy Awards that year. "General Patton" is a biographical feature film about "the most individualistic figure in the history of American military generals" - Patton's experience during and after World War II.... In 1943 in North Africa, the British and American Allied forces were attacked by the German army led by Marshal Rommel, nicknamed "The Desert Fox", and fell into trouble. In order to turn the battlefield situation, the US 2nd Armored Corps was reorganized, and Lieutenant General Patton was appointed as the commander of the corps, and the talented Major General Blatley was his assistant. The two men paid close attention to military discipline and training, and were very strict with officers and soldiers. They organized the entire corps into a brave and skilled force, and finally defeated Rommel. Later, the Allies prepared to land in Sicily, Italy. Patton proposed a strong attack, but was opposed by the British commander, General Montgomery. The latter was a moderate faction and advocated cautious action, but Patton ignored him and led his army to conquer the capital Palermo and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. At this time, an unpopular thing happened: Patton beat a wounded soldier with bullet shock while visiting the hospital. As a result, he was condemned by the public, and he was sued again. He was removed from the army and replaced by Blatley. Frustrated by his career, Patton was transferred to England. In a speech, he made a lot of slanderous remarks against another ally, the Soviet Union, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Allied High Command and Eisenhower. Patton was transferred back to the First Army. At this time, the old colleague Blatley was formulating plans for the Normandy landing, and he specially invited Patton to participate. Patton happily went to serve as the front-line commander, and did his best to restore his reputation. After that, Patton participated in campaigns such as the liberation of Paris, and he made many achievements. At the end of 1945, he was killed in a car accident near the German station. The main camera of the film focuses on Patton, making other characters and even several battles a green leaf that reflects Patton's momentum and character. For example, in the first scene of the film, the director arranges a Star-Spangled Banner to fill the entire screen, and then makes Patton, who is fully dressed and decorated, step by step step on the podium in front of the Star-Spangled Banner, and delivers a speech in front of the camera that "American soldiers are the greatest". On the surface, he is giving a speech to the heart soldier (the heart soldier does not appear on the screen), but in fact he is lecturing the audience watching the movie. This kind of Tarzan-style great Americanism, under the masterful performance of George Skert, is not only not objectionable, but also makes this five-minute lecture a classic of film history, and successfully establishes the character character and film theme at the beginning. Afterwards, when Patton toured the front line, he suddenly changed to the ancient battlefield, and got out of the car to pay tribute and recite poems, showing a kind of outstanding Confucian general style, heroic spirit. However, the director did not hide Patton's weaknesses. His impulsive personality, unscrupulous words, obsession with war, and sacrifice of soldiers' lives in exchange for military merits are all embodied in the film. However, the director finally used the background of the windmill as a metaphor for Patton who failed to complete the ideal. At the end of the film, he still did not forget to pay tribute to Patton. George Scott, who plays General Patton, not only played a model of American military strongman on the screen, but also a tough guy in private. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and was selected as the best actor, but he publicly rejected the honor. He said, "Life is not a competition. And because it's not a competition, I don't see myself competing with my peers for an Oscar or a nomination for it. That's why I refused to get a nomination and an Oscar for playing Patton."
