Patton's approach to life has many points of application for the Christian desiring to live within the Kingdom of God. Life is a battle, not a time for peace. So, too, God's kingdom is under attack by a real enemy. Christians are called to engage in this battle. Patton was a man of discipline, Christians too are called to discipline, order, and duty. Patton desired to ever be advancing agains... read more

Even though this movie is now more than 40 years old, it still has a pretty damned good reputation and I was really eager to check it out. Eventually, I wasn’t disappointed and it definitely deserved to win the Best Picture Academy award at the time. Indeed, it is quite a fascinating war feature with a fascinating real figure in the middle. It seemed that Patton was quite a character but you can... read more

The story of General George S. Patton, Jr. during World War II. His battlefield genius garners him fear and respect from the Germans, and resentment and misunderstanding from the Allies. A military historian and poet, he believes he was a warrior in many past lives, and that he is destined for something great during this life, but his stubbornness and controversial methods nearly prevent the fulfillment of that destiny.

"...Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers."

"18.5. Yle Areena Ristiriitaisen sotasankarin henkilökuva ei mitenkään glorifioi Pattonia, eikä liiemmin pyri näyttämään epäedullisessakaan valossa. Ammattiylpeytensä vankina oleva karmea mulkku on myös - noh, kovan luokan ammattilainen. George C. Scott on mahtava, kuten nyt odottaakin."
