I must say that this film was fantastic. George C. Scott did a fantastic job.


Truely a great war drama that can easily be catorgized as one of the best war films of all time.

Despite glaring technical inaccuracies.

However, it wasn't intended to be completely accurate, so the inaccuracies are excusable...

The movie by itself is still a fantastic film.
 
Just little things that always bother me in these type of movies. The 'Germans' drove Patton tanks. Silly stuff like that erks me.

And, he refused to accept the Oscar for the role.

Why? Ordinarily one might speculate that he did so because he realised that Patton is the one that deserves the respect for BEING PAtton, but I am only postulating.

If I remember correctly, he felt acting is an artform and that you can't give awards claiming my my art is better than your art because it cheapens the whole thing.

When they called his name to receive the Oscar someone else came up and said that Mr. Scott was refusing to accept it.

If you have the opportunity, watch old footage of General Patton himself sometime. There are a few clips running around, especially on the History Channel. In a couple of the clips, his langauge, bearing and demeanor are almost as graphic as the movie.

I agree with another poster though. The movie is accented with inaccuracies.

Calling the Oscars "a two-hour meat parade," GEORGE C. SCOTT announces that he will refuse the Best Actor award if he wins (for playing WWII general George Patton in Patton). On the big evening, presenter Goldie Hawn rips open the Best Actor envelope and squeals, "Oh my God! The winner is George C. Scott!" True to his word, Scott is home in New York watching a hockey game on TV. He's the first actor ever to refuse an Oscar.

"I know what he (Oscar) stands for ... and it's terrific ... I think when people used to hang around and pat each other on the back over drink and dinner, it was wonderful. But when it became an international hoopla where careers lived and died on whether or not you did or didn't get an Oscar, then it got out of hand," Scott once said.
