Patton, which details the actions of the American General Patton during the Second World War is an excellent film. Visually, it is stunning, while it also portrays Patton as a likeable and capable - albeit eccentric - figure. It was unusual to watch a war film from the perspective of a general and this made it stand out from other war films, although it did mean that the audience were somewhat removed from the horrors of war. There were a few scenes of generals arriving in jeeps in the aftermath of battles, for example. It was well worth watching and I particularly enjoyed the scenes where the German military leaders were attempting to fathom just what Patton was doing!
