In Reply to: The Patton portrayal was... what you'd expect. No excitement of posted by tinear on June 25, 2006 at 09:55:10:
I felt that the film and Coppola's screenplay went out of its way to portray the complexity of the man and his motivation. I hardly think this film is "boring".
Follow Ups:
There's something wrong about Scott as Patton, and it's age.Scott was 42, Patton - by the end of the war - was 60, and his photographs look much older. Physically, he was ageing quickly - and in the film, Scott in 1945 looks as fresh as in 1943... no complexity here.
