PATTON R1 2-disc George C. Scott

R1 originaali, ei suomitekstejä. Tekstit englanniksi.  2-levyn THX-certifoitu special edition! 

DVD extras include a 50-minute documentary entitled A Tribute to Franklin J. Schaffner. Originally produced in 1997 for the Patton laserdisc release, the documentary covers the elementary background of the film, including many stills from the production. Schaffner (who died in 1989) and George C. Scott (who died in 1999) are heard only in interviews recorded for the film's 1970 release. The only new interviews are from less vital players: production head Richard D. Zanuck, cinematographer Fred Koenekamp, and composer Jerry Goldsmith. The absence of retrospective views from Scott and cowriter Francis Ford Coppola is unfortunate. The audio essay is not by a filmmaker, but Charles M. Province, the founder and president of the George S. Patton Jr. museum. His background on the man is impressive, but one misses a filmmaker's touch to the essay, or even the recollections of Scott himself. The high point of the documentary discusses the arguments over the legendary opening sequence. The short ends with a huge misstep--letting Oliver Stone go off on one of his tirades about President Nixon and the influence that Patton had on the Vietnam War. Even if Stone's observations are relevant, his assertions about George C. Scott are totally inappropriate. The DVD also contains an isolated track of Goldsmith's influential score. --Doug Thomas

Patton was the real deal. As a man, his belief in re-incarnation played a role in victory. Whether that is physically true is unseen, but as a scholar he knew the land and the historical spirit of the land intimately. He knew the enemy as well as himself; a self-taught psychologist in a way. A true warrior always on the offensive, Patton was not fatuous in his abilities; victory is not and cannot be political; it is the total and complete annihilation of the enemy. Patton was a bulldozer. His temperament had ramifications, but it is completely irrelevant as I can't imagine one with a thirst for blood is at all normative in behavior. He was never insubordinate. (I think some of comments was simply misunderstood humor). Eisenhower ranked generals in order of greatness/ importance, placing Patton third. Spatz and Smith took one and two as strategists. Eisenhower said Patton was a a brilliant executor. In this thinking, there should be two categories: strategy and implementation. Patton was an authentic general. Overall, the greatest generation worked as a united, complete whole. Patton summed it up best - Every man is vital. Even the soldier who boils water so you don't get the shits is essential. As for the film, I'm a critic in no way. I enjoyed the movie. The focus is not guts and gore such as in Saving Private Ryan, et al, which is purposeful because it doesn't detract from the film's focus. There needs to be more films on Patton offering more perspectives. I'd like one that focuses on his childhood and education. Given his belief in re-incarnatiinon, we need a more intimate portrait. into the man. The ending is perfect. Rather than focusing on the car accident, it was symbolized by heading off into the sunset.
