50 years on , 7 Oscars , and still one of the finest films ever made .
Omar Bradley, the man who was technical advisor for the show said Scott played a better Patton at times than Patton himself did!
@@SaundersE5 depends on your definition of 'fit'
@@dwrdwlsn5 good point Edward.
I meant as an ass kicking fighting General. Bradley was a good man.
@@SaundersE5 Indeed. Patton was a MUCH better tactical or operation level battlefield commander than Bradley was, and both knew it. That said? Patton had a bit of a problem with his brain to mouth filter and he frankly admitted that he was nowhere as good at multi-level planning or organizing as Bradley was. They made a good team in North Africa according to my Grandfather who served there as a lieutenant and later captain in the Army engineers.
My favorite
'Rommel, you magnificent bastard... I'VE READ YOUR BOOK!'
The dude was kinda a psycho. "Yeah i remember fighting here against Carthage." Bruh the Hell are you talking about? But hey, sometimes it takes a psycho to be a good general.
@Colin M, how dare you call America's greatest General a psycho. Shame on you.
@@RD-lu1tr Well he kinda was. Not a straight jacket type, but the "wtf are you talking about?" kinda crazy. He thought he was reincarnated multiple times and said "Yeah i was here fighting with the Roman army. Yeah i was with Alexander the Great's army." Which everyone sorta rose a brow and said "uhhhhh..." He wasn't a bad general, but weird.
@@RD-lu1tr And i wouldn't say he was our greatest. Hes up there, but id give the title to Robert E. Lee. Even though he was technically a rebel, he was able to spank the Union over and over again with fewer men, less manpower, less industry, and simple used wits.
@@colinm8200 Patton didn’t mean that literally, it was a metaphor that he’s as great a general as Scipio
George C. Scott is the only actor I know of who could have portrayed Patton. He was practically a force of nature, and Scott captures it in his performance.
Yes -- George C. Scott WAS larger than life. I haven't screened PATTON in 20+ years. But after watching this amazing compilation of scenes accompanied by Goldsmith's score, I plan to see PATTON again!
テリーサバラスとかじゃ駄目？
George C. Scott was the American actor soooo intense, he literally OWNED every scene in which he's ever acted.
Absolutely Love The Music. And George !!!!
@@user-mz8fg1st3pnope
This music still gives me chills.
Like I always say, that music should be America's new national anthem.
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.
I get a lump in my throat typing this while listening...and then contemplating our nation's terrible state in modern times.
@@teller1290 The US has its problems. It has had problems before and it will have problems again. My major concern right now is that many people who know war only from TV or movies seem to think that it is a good solution to problems. Even Patton at his craziest or must unpredictable knew better than that.
@@dwrdwlsn5 Depends on the problem. You can't reason with unreasonable people.
I got to play the Patton theme in marching band for my senior year! Our show was called Victory (A tribute to the greatest generation). I will forever love this! I also plan to serve in the Air Force! God Bless America!
Absolutely fantastic performance by George C. Scott as Patton. Shame he turned down the oscar. You could just imagine him being the man himself!
It shows you how humble the man was. Any other actor would completely disregard the fact Patton was an opportunity to tell the story of one of America's top heroes. Their motivation to do the film would strictly be: HOW MUCH $$$ THEY WOULD MAKE ??
The Oscars were and always will be overrated.
My grandfather’s old commander. My Gramps was 3rd Army. May he and his commander Rest In Peace. God bless them both.
This is cool to hear
"I can attack with three divisions in fourty-eight hours."
That’s what the fuck I’m talking about!
@Anne Asgard the ultimate come back tour.
I don’t like to pay for the same real estate twice.
@Anne Asgard So was mine, Anne.
He say you are asking the impossible of your men. Yes well, what he doesn't realise is, that's what were in business for.
I rate Patton as one of the top ten greatest movies ever made.
Its up there certainly
It’s shadowed by apocalypse now and the godfather, but in my opinion it’s Francis Ford Coppolas best
It just became one of my favorite movies ever after rewatching this masterpiece. Definitely a contender for greatest war movie ever made
Obviously a beloved movie and soundtrack. But years after first seeing this I finally realized that few if any of the tanks seen in the movie are even close to historically accurate-hell, the "german" tanks are repainted Americans. There was no way, of course, that they could find an army of left-over German tanks to use in the film, or even historically accurate allied ones, but this movie is screaming for an overdue CGI "fix"! Get me some Shermans and Grants and Tigers, oh my!
What are the other 9?
This is the spirit America 🇺🇸 needs today.
That is true, but the reasons why today aren't as clear to many as the circumstances then.
It was resisted then, and it is still resisted now.
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly."
-Albert Einstein
@@HuntingTarg The mediocre mind is always preoccupied with WHO is paying the bills.
Loyalty, honor and duty do not matter to many Americans today if they ever did at all. There are those, however, who remember.
@@theinvisibleman2070lol But of course not. It is not like we have a world wide war going on no matter how many people dream of it and demand it.
Love him or hate him, Patton was a soldier who had a sense of honor. Silly things like Duty, Honor and Country mean NOTHING in the modern US. Far less dumb things like loyalty or actually wanting to make things better for anyone except the rich and powerful.
"I have a lot of faults Brad, but ingratitude isn't one of them. Hell, I know I'm a primadonna. I admit it. The thing I can't stand about Montgomery is he WON'T admit it."
I know from history that Patton and Montgomery didn't get along well - their war techniques were very different.
I can no longer tell how much the British and the Americans did or didn't like each other. From online conversations I'd say today's Young Brits don't have much respect for the United States or Americans.
@@HC-cb4yp well look at us young Americans too many cry baby bitches who want there dam bottles instead of working hard I hope to God we never face anything like ww2 cause my generation will never win where too dam soft
Jerry Goldsmith - one of the most cool 20 Century's composer (with Morricone and Williams)
One of the most Outstanding movies of all time.
The low brass counterpoint in this track is amazing. Also I highly encourage everyone to read Patton’s book War as I Knew It
Thanks for pointing out the low bass, and thanks for the book rec! I’ve read several on Patton, but missed that one somehow. It’s on my list now.
Love this music. I wish he had lived.
Love that low brass part too.
You said it! So true! That synocopated lead into the main theme then that fabulous low brass line in counterpoint just makes your heart soar! Goldsmith was so fabulous!
Also, thanks for the book tip!
I read Lt.Gen. U.S.Grant's volumes on the War between the States a few years back. Terrific! He wrote them to leave something to his family just before he died. Great stuff!
Lots we're glad that he didn't, sadly. His memories from both works wars and mexico, combined with his historical grasp, hus Confederate relatives he heard about from his dad, the westward pioneer relatives on his mom's side: truly a unique man, who advanced and over some in life at the highest and most challenging levels with dyslexia, even though no one knew what that was then.
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. His dad knew something was wrong with little George but never was harsh with him, knowing he was destined for greatness...even after he has to repeat first year at West Point! Truly one of a kind that could've only happened in America.
I absolutely love that man, a true American hero and leader. Damn I and we miss him, God speed George Patton, we love you.
All of the weather in the film was real. An astounding bit of filmmaking. Also, the entire movie was shot through the camera, there are no opticals in the film, other than the titles.
When I am down I play the Pattpn theme song and it restores my soul. I was always afraid of public speaking, I would play it in my mind before a engagement. It gave me self confidence.
My glorious mother was in many ways (secretly, and in private) a big kid full of wonder and excitement, especially when it concerned movies. 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💝🇺🇸
This film is truly timeless, saw it for the first time last night, incredible! One of the best ever made! And this soundtrack, WOW. They sure don't make films like these anymore.
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. It was always my favorite piece. We had a really great piccolo player and every time we played the piece, she nailed it. We were playing it before the “Aggie” band even thought about playing it.
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.
Everybody: "Why are movie soundtracks so minimalist nowadays?!"
Jerry Goldsmith: "Haha, soundtrack go *Single fading trumpet riff*"
But nowadays they're just poorly emulating what Goldsmith was doing with mastery barely having anyone to equal it.
Because greatness is equated with $money.
Greed!
Because nowadays film composers are amateur musicians with little or no training. They played guitar in a rock band and then find a friend to get them a film job. Goldsmith, Williams were trained musicians and composers. That's why.
OMG… I am crying because of the beauty of all these selections of musical scores and clips from such great films. I will have to watch them all again.
Jerry had the same skills as John Williams, what most modern composers are lacking is the training that they had.
George C. Scott superb performance with a superb music too.
Love the score! Love George C. Scott! And absolutely Love Patton!
I truly believe Goldsmith was inspired by this fabulous Man to write such amazing music! Patton was a God of War! Yet, his enemy obliterated, he treated them decently. This Man's story is fabulous! Great, great music. I love the bass horn lines!
Great theme. One of the best forever!
One of those iconic movie themes along side The Magnificent Seven & The Great Escape . I'll never get tired of listening to this . Such inspiration & grandeur. I love it! 💙💙💙💙
Great choices! It's interesting how almost all of the best themes from films were accompanied by great filmkaing- Lawrence of Arabia, How the West Was Won, The Godfather- it's as if the story inspired the composer, and the music inspird the directors and actors. I fact, I can't think of a single great theme which was not also a great film.-
Elmer Bernstein and Jerry Goldsmith wrote some great themes.
Aww, the great escape is my all time favorite movie. Followed by Kelly's Heroes.
Also, Where Eagles Dare
One of the greatest generals of the modern era and a complex man. Glad he was on side. Superb film.
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.
Don't forget "Rudy."
He was a chameleon to quote John Williams himself "Jerry's music was special, his music had a freshness and he had a freshness"
What made Goldsmith so extraordinary was that unlike so many cinematic composers, to my since no two Jerry Goldsmith scores sounded alike.
"Tell him I don't care to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch."
One of my favorite lines.
that homosexual masochist patton and the whole u.s. army would have been kicked all the way to France and down into the Channel if Stalin had ever harboured any idea of initiating a conflict with the "small western allies"...thank your lucky stars the Great Georgian never had the intention to begin with! X-D
@@RealKull ummm brother you do know that US gave the Russians most of its equipment right. Like 100 of millions of tones ammo goods clothing light armor ect all Russia have was man power and was begging the allies for a new front because in fact they started losing after the winter again. So Why all the others were fighting in Europe America was everywhere the pacific Africa Italy France the. Then the First Nation into Germany
@@RealKull Russians would have held firm for maybe a month then their lines would collapse all the way back to Moscow.
@@RealKull patton was right about fighting another. Another war against an ally when American public was tired. Just give Ukraine what they need and they will take care of the problem. Better late than never.
@@RealKull haha sure. The US was only the biggest industrial force in the world by the end of the war and it wasn't even remotely close (if I remember correctly they were out-producing Germany, Britain, Japan, and Russia combined), and they still had a military of 12 million men while Russia was nearly spent
Marvelous edit. I hold Patton and T.E. Lawrence at the same level of highest esteem.
Both warriors of a rare kind. A different kind that don’t appear many times throughout history, but when they do, are truly and simply brave like something else
I believe Patton would have approved of Jerry Goldsmith’s energy-building theme as representative of his relentlessness and penchant for victory! I get chills every tie I hear it...
Hearing this after PT every morning at Camp AJ was glorious.
Grandpa fought with Patton in Africa and then with the Third Army as they rolled through France… he was an Armored Infantry Company Commander in the 4th Armored Division. Patton pinned the Silver Star on him. He said he didn’t like Patton as person, but respected the hell out of his ability to plan and kill Germans.
A great tribute to the man, the myth and the legend. Only George Scott could have performed him. He is one the greatest, if not one the greatest generals and military minds of the 20th Century up there with the likes of Eisenhower, Montgomery, Nimitz and McArthur and even Rommel and Zuchkov So glad he was on on side. His men either loved him or hated him. But he always led from the front like any commander should and he was admired for that by the men who served with him and for him even though they would never admit it.
And, if you listen very carefully, this piece of music is the exact same one that's used in the beginning of The Star Spangled Banner As You Never Heard It.
Concordo su tutto tranne che su Montgomery, un pessimo comandante che gli inglesi hanno mitizzato per far dimenticare i suoi fallimenti
One of the best movie soundtracks by a legend.
Brilliant score by Jerry Goldsmith.
Best movie I ever saw, God bless General Patton.
The German situation map dissolving is a genius shot on the part of the director
This music hits the soul of any one who has worn our uniform.
I hate the military and even I feel patriotic listening to this
@@Cade_The_Squirrel
Good thing the military defends your right to be you... A little respect for people 1,000 X better than you would be in order , but then again , you seem like an entitled , silver plate raised overgrown child who never had the thought of being thankful.
You got THAT right, brother!

I love this music...
Jerry Goldsmith was wonderful!
Nice selection of film cuts to go with the music.
I do this job because I trained to do it, But you do this because you ... love it.
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.
To me one of the Greatest war movie of the 70 s a Masterpiece!!! George C Scott a great actor!!! A French Man ...
God Bless Jerry Goldsmith, this theme is a marsterpiece.
"Rommel, your magnificent bastard I READ YOUR BOOK!!" - Patton
"I will lead you wonderful guys into battle , anytime,anywhere"-Patton
A true American hero. "Old Blood 'n Guts" himself.
Andrew Montgomery “Yeah our blood. His Guts”.
Mad as a bucket of soapy frogs. One trick pony general, he could move an army fast. When faced with a battle that could not work like that, Metz, he made a pigs ear of it.
@@ACLawrence476 Somebody's blood it has to be
@@SvenTviking I hate the way you speak *so much.*
What about the criticism that the Russians didn't leave much of the German army for Patton to fight? The idea being that the Russians beat the Germans and the Americans beat the Japanese...?
An absolute classic. Timeless
Nice movie, and wonderful soundtrack; Jerry Goldsmith was a great genius...
Many thanks HD Film Tributes for sharing and make the video!!!😎❤️✌️
Jerry Goldsmith is a Genius. Does this song and movie ever get old. Hell no!!!!
I had the opportunity to see this on the big screen in 1970 when the movie was released. The movie was that good I remember it as if it was just yesterday.
Lucky, one of my favourite war movies in no small part due to Jerry Goldsmith's excellent music.
Great theme music and amazing movie !
Sometimes you have to slap some sense into people.
That incident, even for General Patton was a rare mistake. He and the MD's of the day weren't aware of PTSD. He made it right though, NOT because he was ordered to but because it was right to do so.
Truer these days than in my whole life.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft The men didn't have PTSD though. One had a fever, and the other had the flu. Pretty sure Patton didn't know that at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have slapped them.
My All time favorite movie and the theme from Patton is my ring tone as a reminder no matter the Obstacle you keep going!!
This soundtrack inspires me to join the army, i will go to the nearest recruit station
Then you remember how the army is used.
And die for israel?
@@hindguy we dont waste American lives for Israel, just resources
@@JDP2104 huh what was iraq war?
@@hindguy nah that was for American profit. Like I said, we waste resources on Israel but we dont send troops to go fight for them
Danke fürs hochladen, da kommen Erinnerungen hoch!!!
I remember seeing this flick at the ‘Cinerama Dome’ in Hollywood when it came out and they had a full battle scene in front of the theatre. I was like 7 years old.
A great movie. Read up on the real history. A great role for George C Scott. Maybe his best.
At AJ in Kuwait, after morning revile they play Pattons own ( as the third army is HQed there) back in 2019. Everything I gear this song I think of back then and I sure miss it. Yes its bit a real deployment but I'll take it over being stateside.
I've watched it till the end, it draws you in.
We need more men like patton
no we need be more like patton and recognize who the true enemy is
@@rickdeckard1075 very true
General 'Raisin' Caine.
Greatest performance of all time
I love this movie
Astounding score.
Loved Him and The guy who played Montgomery well done as well as Omar Bradley
Tremendous Tribute of Patton picture.
Americans love a winner.
That would explain why everybody hates Hillary. If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand.
@@cabbievonbump LMAO ok dumb ass
Patton has been reincarnated as President Trump to clear out this Marxist coup in our country
@@RabidNemo No I'm not Trump. Never forget that.
@@MIMALECKIPL that doesn't even make sense
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.
Great dream Jerry and Morricone are composing the angel up in heaven
Total recall is still my favorite
Jerry Goldsmith is 100x the composer Zimmer ever could be.
Love that, I did like the Dark Knight tho
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?
The trumpet sound is run through an Echoplex Tape delay machine - same technique GOldsmith used for Alien through a conch shell, creating that hainting "wind effect".
The echo of the brass is impressive!!!
Patton mon hero !
A true warrior.
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!
Holy shit you're right
Respect mon général
Merci ✌👍
Hes a legend
The instrumental part with the whistle and drums pops into my head every now and then
When you put your hand into a puddle of goo that 2 seconds before was your friends face youll know what to do
Lol when I first heard that I practically vomited mind you I was around 10
Clean your hand off? ;)
Forget it, Marge, it's Chinatown!!!
I remember seeing Patton in 70 mm. Great movie and great tribute.
Please don't forget "Malena", that would be great.
If there's still a 70mm print out there, I really hope they use it to make a 4K Blu-ray.
I would give up a body part to see this movie in a proper 70mm screening again.
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.
It humanises the man.
One of the best times I had with my dad is when we went to see this in A true movie theatre
To me, this is just about the finest martch ever written.
メチャ感動^^//大好きな映画です♪
Good movie I llike it. 👍👍👍👍👍
this is a tribute to my dad and his friends who came in california in 1945
日本人ですが、パットン将軍を尊敬しております。
I love it. God help me I do love it so. I love it more than my life.
The scene where Patton and Bradley are standing in the distance in the desert is epic.
One of my all-time favourite war movies. An absolute classic.
Brilliant.
Almost all the tanks and troops you see is the Spanish Army renting itself out for the movie. They did a wonderful job!
THIS GREAT🇺🇸MOVIE IS SOMETHING ALL HISTORY CLASSES SHOULD WATCH🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
One of Jerry Goldsmith's best movie. If you listen carefully, some parts of it is similar to the theme used in the Police Academy movies; similar to the revised use of the opening theme to Star Trek: The Motion Picture as the "Enterprise" theme heard when Adm. Kirk & Cmdr. Scott inspected the refitted Enterprise in Spacedock.
Its too bad that during World War II Gen. Patton never faced Germany's Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in combat. Who would've won that one?
I always thought John Williams lovingly spoofed this one a bit in his “1941” score.
He never faced Rommel, but he did face against Rommels officers and his tactics.
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.
Patton did respect Rommel's techniques, even though he was the enemy. Patton used to say, "Rommel, you magnificent bastard!"
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.
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!
Man, could we use a General George S. Patton, Jr., now!!!!!
Patton was the greatest general in American history period
I think Sherman's no nonsense approach redesigned warfare. If you're going to go to war, make it ugly enough not to want to do it again.
I'd say Washington being able to pull off a miracle is better. It's easier to beat an enemy when you have superior support and numbers. I love Patton, but to say he is the greatest? No. Top 2-3? Sure.
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.
It's a great effect, I love how Ron Jones decided to use the same sound for a cue in Star Trek TNG.
In my opinion, Gen. Patton is the only general never commands from the base, but joins with the firefight. That gives me goosebumps
This is the music that plays when you enter heaven..
“Rommel, you magnificent bastard. I read your BOOK!” 😁
