Last Days of Patton (1986) George C. Scott reprises his greatest role

[@thepeskytraveller3870]

A terrible way to end a life of service and well lived. RIP General Blood and Guts! Amazing performance by George Scott! Thank you for uploading this gem!

[@ronaldautry6191]

Didn’t even know this existed!!!!!! Thank you for uploading

[@cameron1975williams]

This was surprisingly great. Terrific cast. I too never knew this existed. The original is one of the greatest war films ever made and George C. Scott was one the finest actors the world will ever know.

[@shouldhavedonebetter]

It was made for TV.

[@barbararey-constantin5679]

Mr. George C. Scott had more talent, discipline to become a master at acting and more charisma than the majority in films today. How impoverished our culture has become.

[@mikemmikem2758]

First time seeing this. WOW! I hope they all one awards for this; the acting was incredible. Truly a man for all seasons. Thank you all for this magnificent movie.

Super movie. Seen it the day it aired on TV. Until now never seen it since. Another piece of history swept under the rug.

The scene where Patton is in the hospital shows actual outside footage of the then-130th Station Hospital in Heidelberg (actually Rohrbach at the time, in a former German signal base), where he was treated and died, without the more modern clinic building that would be in the way of the shot today. There is a plaque in the hospital beside the door of the room in which he died.

[@soonersteve3733]

@@SeeNoEvil777 I was stationed twice in Heidelberg and both my children were born in that hospital 5 years apart! I also took the time to visit Patton’ grave at the US Cemetery in Belgium. Sad that was not covered in the movie!

[@michaelhorton1350]

Never one to shrink from pomp and circumstance, George C invests the Patton role with a vigor and authenticity equal to the WWII hero.

[@BunenMorang]

General Patton once cautioned us about the challenges we face in our current circumstances. His warnings resonate strongly today, as they emphasize the importance of identifying the true adversary in any conflict. Many people hold differing opinions on this matter, arguing that misidentifying our enemy can lead to misguided efforts and wasted resources in our fight. It’s crucial to remember his insights; understanding who we are truly up against is vital for effective strategy and achieving our objectives.

[@michaelfisher7170]

I think we had adversaries pegged. our allies were a matter of convenience and concurrent goals. it wasn't ideal but it was what we had.

Seat belts came out in the 60's mandatory in the 70's

[@rzarco01]

The vehicles involved in the accident didn't seem to be going at high speed - I guess the severity of Patton's injuries were due to the lack of modern safety features present in today's cars.

[@TheLucanicLord]

Wrong place at the wrong time. Admiral Lee is another, had a heart attack halfway between ship and shore, might have survived if a doctor had got to him quicker. Also, wear a seatbelt, kids!

Plus if Patton had marched to Berlin, he would have had to hand over huge territory of East Germany back to the Soviets for occupation.

Movie is okay but the musical score is dismal and mediocre. Of course this story tells of Patton's final days and Jerry Goldsmith's rousing Patton theme would be inappropriate for this film. But ... for me this score doesn't even come close to describing the epic tragedy of "Patton the Dying Hero"...

[@Jorg-cv3xt]

Very true. Film was directed by Derlbert Mann who worked with Jerry before. Would have been nice if nJerry had done the job for the sequel or if they would have made use or referenced theme and motifs from the original score here and there to make connection to the Original....

Stupid. He was in the army. He was dismissed from his prevous poistion. He could be retired from the army at any time. It would just take a piece of paper. Patton was free to go into politics anytime he wanted. To assasinate someone who was now redundant and harmless would be stupid and pointless beyond words. To do it with a truck would be ludicrous, since it would take months of hanging around in the truck awaiting the chance. The whole idea is stupid beyond words, and as I see u hv 7 likes, that proves there are at least 7 morons in the world.

En réalité George Patton n' a jamais été romain mais carthaginois mort en 183 BC . En 1943, sur les vestiges de l' ancienne Carthage il décrit à des historiens comment Scipion l' Ancien avait pénétré dans la ville avec ses 3 légions et détruit hommes , femmes et enfants . Ls historiens furent surpris de détails aussi précis et tout corespondait précisément . Comment savez vous tout cela lui demandèrent ils ? - Je gisais là mort dit George . Il était Hanibal . Grace à ses connaissances du terrain lors de ses vies passées , il fut le plus grand général US . il voulait continuer à poursuivre les bolcheviques et sa tête fut mise à mort par le KGB . Par 3 fois fois on voulu l' assassiner , la dernière fois en sabottant sa berline . Nul ne sait si il s' agit de la CIA ou le KGB . Il parait qu ' il s' est remis de son accident et son état clinique était bon ... On suspecte un empoisonnement Patton disait tout haut ses pensées et dérangeait . Pourtant il avait une fois de plus raison !
