Pass it on
Patton
54Watch it awake.
He is brilliant at the war and he slaps a soldier, and the film keeps admiring him.
The review
It opens on a speech in front of a flag. Patton is brilliant at the work of an army, and vain about his destiny, as if the war were a personal appointment. The battles have weight. The skill and the vanity sit in the same man.
He slaps a soldier in a hospital. The film does not hide the slap, and it does not stop admiring the victories. A general can be the man a campaign needs and a bully in a ward. See it for the work. Do not let the flag leave with a kid, or with an adult who only came for a great man.
Journal

The glance
Household and Piety and Temperance are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Bridge on the River Kwai
64 instead of 54
The Bridge on the River Kwai is still a war film, and it scores 64 instead of 54. What you gain is truth: A well-built bridge can be a betrayal.
