That's because it was brilliantly done by Goldsmith with religious overtones, despite chronicling slaughter and horror of war. Note the church organ sound. That magnificently conveys the reverence that Patton held war, heroism, sacrifice, duty above all...and saw it as pleasing to God for evil to be vanquished.

She took me to see True Grit, The Wizard Of Oz when it was re released for theaters in the the late 60s, Gone With The Wind, Fiddler On The Roof, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and many others, sometimes letting me stay home from school to do so. Sitting in the big, grand old style movie theaters, (usually during the matinee showings), eating popcorn, Jordan Almonds and Milk Duds and immersed in another world far from our middle class, suburban 60s everyday reality. She took me to see Patton when it came out and I'll never forget the opening monologue and the giant American flag as a backdrop. It astounded me even as a child. I still love movies of all kinds from all eras and subjects. They don't make movies like they used to. Thanks mom - I miss you and think of you every time I watch a really good movie💝🇺🇸

His biography by D'Este is replete with excerpts from letters where he is just torturing himself as being a dummy because he knows something is wrong but doesn't have a clue.

I was a freshman in high school when Patton came out. One of my top 5 movies of all time. I was in the band and our band director obtained the sheet music to the soundtrack.

Imagine if they made a film on fellow legendary general Matthew Ridgway (though Hollywood's too pansy probably because he kicked China's *ss in Korea). I wonder what his theme would sound like. Probably something dramatic and stirring, knowing how insanely bold he was.

I was a 6-year-old when "Patton" was released in 1970. I was raised in a family in which both of my parents were former U.S. Navy officers and World War II veterans. While I could not fully understand all of the implications and historical nuances of the movie at that age, I was awestruck by the movie in an era when American students were protesting the Vietnam War in the streets of major cities. The main title theme was the first song I ever learned to whistle, and I still find myself whistling it from time to time 50 years later. Fantastic piece of music.

Goldsmith at his finest. Among the great Hollywood composers he stands out as almost unique in just how varied his work is. John William's is unquestionably the MAestro. But you know instantly you are listening to a John William's score. His fingerprints are so heavy on it. Jerry's best works sneak up on you. You find yourself going "damn that was one of his? And that too? They don't sound anything like Star Trek!" Goldsmith was a wonderful stylistic chameleon from Patton to Chinatown to Star Trek to Aliens and on.

Even John Williams acknowledged that Jerry was "The Golden Boy." Goldsmith could do it all, and his thematically synergetic approach to scoring movies made much more sense than the leitmotivic/patchwork quilt-like approach of Steiner, Korngold, and JW.

Listen carefully lol, it pretty much screams out. I was just about to comment how the Police Academy theme is such an obvious rip off of this. Not only in melody and rhythm, but even structure too.

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

Patton did respect Rommel's techniques, even though he was the enemy. Patton used to say, "Rommel, you magnificent bastard!"

[@iceomistar4302]

Not to mention that Jerry himself said that Franklin J Schaffner was the best director he ever worked, Schaffner only needed to tell him with two words what the music needed to be and wouldn't need to say anymore until the scoring sessions.

[@benjaminhoffman4563]

My two great Uncles fought un 3:19 der Patton. They were in the same Platoon . Uncle Willie carried a MI GARAND. Uncle Henry ( who I was close too) was a BAR man. The the fact that they survived is so amazing considering what Patton demanded from them. But they loved him.

One of the greatest movies of all time, with an all-star cast; fantastic music, no matter which orchestra is performing it. Great music and orchestra, too.

[@antoniocrosaraneto-jx9sd]

Um maravilhoso filme, que mistura heroísmo, tenacidade e coragem, desafiando os limites humanos. Tudo isso embalado por um tema musical de beleza inigualável. Produção premiada merecidamente!

[@erickirwan8703]

One of my all-time favourite war movies. An absolute classic.

[@thomasmacfarlane49]

Greatest performance of all time

I am hooked on your HD Film Tributes. You do a great service in the artistic way you blend soundtracks with prime scenes from these iconic films. Thank you from a fan who appreciates your fine and entertaining work.

Last night I had the most wonderful dream. Every Hans Zimmer score was replaced by Jerry Goldsmith. And the Lord saw that it was good.

[@kyleshiflet9952]

Great dream Jerry and Morricone are composing the angel up in heaven

[@GrosvnerMcaffrey]

Total recall is still my favorite

[@ChrisWolff2013]

Jerry Goldsmith is 100x the composer Zimmer ever could be.

[@Icecold1776]

Love that, I did like the Dark Knight tho

[@winternow2242]

Okay, no need to be hatin' on Zimmer. His only real fault is not being as good as Jerry Goldsmith. And who can blame him for that?

[@Karloffrules]

I wish there were still movies like this, that we would never even consider watching at home; that were an event too grand and all encompassing to experience on a TV or (God forbid) a laptop or phone. I was in a dance troupe that performed to this orchestration in 1975, and, even as young as I was, I still knew at that time that this music was a theme that would stand the test of time. The legacies of Patton, and of Goldsmith, live on.

[@georgesykes394]

Jerry Goldsmith did an outstanding job!

[@alfonsomartin9392]

Una película épica donde las batallas no son las protagonistas. De las más de dos horas de película apenas tiene media hora de música pero marca desde el principio al final.

[@diearnal]

I agree over 💯%. There was no actor who could portray General George Patton better than George C. Scott. He looked like Patton with his same mannerisms and the way in which he portrayed Patton. He was an amazing incredibly gifted actor for his time. Excellent work and kudos to George C Scott!

I always laugh when the three kids salute Patton and he salutes them back.😂 It's scenes like that which make this movie great. This actually could've been a very dark and disturbing film but the jokes help deal with the serious nature of the plot.

[@iceomistar4302]

It humanises the man.

[@KevinBearden-t6b]

Loved Him and The guy who played Montgomery well done as well as Omar Bradley

[@JColas1]

Jerry Goldsmith said that the trumpets that we hear in the theme, which come back again and again, evoke the ancient battles in which Patton would have participated. Indeed, he believed in reincarnation and had been a Roman legionnaire fighting against Carthage 2000 years ago.

[@iceomistar4302]

It's a great effect, I love how Ron Jones decided to use the same sound for a cue in Star Trek TNG.

[@cromanticheer]

I just realized the 2003 Teen Titans show referenced Patton's soundtrack. The episode "Revolution" uses a similar falling horn in the soundtrack in the scenes where the Titans are squaring off against the tin soldiers. Fun shoutout!

The most amazing thing about this movie is that it managed to successfully glorify war during the most contentious period of the anti-Vietnam War movement. .... It's a challenging and still relevant film that remains timely since another great war is on the horizon. Future historians are likely to cite the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the start of WWIII.

[@Reiman33]

its not war that was glorified, it was heroism in the face of evil. Calling that "war glorification" is socialist demoralization you have internalized. War doesn't need to be glorified and never was. People are glorified, and victory is glorious, to say that is also war glorification is again displacing where the virtue actually is. Its like saying having a party for someone you love with cancer going into remission is "glorifying cancer". Celebrating those that delivered us from evil through force of arms is not celebrating "force of arms". In fact, the only movies that actually "glorify war" are any movies that shy away from wars reality. Because if you show any well adjusted human, the TRUTH of war, they aren't lead to believe its an adventure. Saving Private Ryan comes to mind as an example of a movie that doesn't shy away. Almost every vietnam film fails to do this because ALLLLLLLLLL of them shoehorn a pro-NVA pro-commie line that undermines any realworld attempt to be a timeless indictment of war and instead dates them to be political propaganda of their time: Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and The Thin Red Line are case-in-point examples of this.
