For this assigned blog I watched Patton which was released in 1970. First of all who is Patton? A general in the US army whose better known for his command over the 7th army. So in the film, you follow General Patton around as he makes his decisions, mistakes, etc. In the beginning of the movie, Patton steps out on a stage with a backdrop of the American flag, and basically gives a pep-talk to the military. Throughout the film it shows Patton's anger issues and trouble taking into consideration of the soldiers. My favorite part of the movie is when he smacks one of the soldiers for crying about the war. At this time PTSD wasn't a diagnosed thing so these soldiers were expected to go through war with no emotion. Patton being a man who loved war couldn't stand the sight of this soldier bawling over it so he smacked him straight across the face. He was given a lot of problems because of that, saying he had no heart. At the end of the movie, he lost his position and was prevented from becoming the lead American general for the Normandy invasion.
