PATTON - learning about America and its colorful language!

The Famous Patton Speech - Click here

It was after return from a few weeks trip to New Delhi, where my grandparents and other relatives lived, that I watched this movie in a theater in Mumbai. I was alone and the summer heat outside made the air conditioned theater look so pleasant. [ I was in high school or early college.]

The blunt words of general Patton on the screen covered with a large American flag were so inspiring at the time that I got engrossed in the movie. Not even  my grandfather was allowed to be that loud and blunt in our extended family! 

I may not agree with everything that George C Scott says as Patton but I understand that those words were meant to inspire an American audience! I should probably watch this movie again to comprehend the politics and history of the time.
