Silence Patton

I was very worried this might be a screed with iffy facts. Instead I found it a fascinating convincing and prescient film. Talking heads are used only as necessary, real footage is most of it. Sappy lol Patton in the hospital is like a music chorus. I'm not a military fan unless it's fiction but this was well made. As a child raised in a family that turned FDR into a God it's a revelation. Ignore your fear of being manipulated

What a joke of a show. I watched the whole thing, but that was because it was like a train wreck in slow motion.

Vague, open-ended claims with zero factual backup, or statements like "it was said that...." fall out of the narrator's mouth left and right with shameless frequency.

It's as much a movie of Hero Worshipping as it is vaguely familiar to those ancient aliens shows: "Could it be....?" Well, sure, it "could be" but it's probably not.

Patton was a problem. He wasn't smeared. He was admired and feared, and was a horribly racist, narrow minded man who was drunk with power.

Sure, he was right about Stalin, but he himself spoke of world domination, saying that the Americans and British were destined to rule the world literally right after he helped defeat a man bent on the same thing.

He was a loose cannon with a genius for showmanship and strategy.

Remind you of anyone, oh, say between 2016 and 2021 and a bad comb over?

Patton was hugely dangerous.

Where is Poland in this documentary?? How can you skip Warsaw uprising,300 tys people murdered skipped, how role of Poland can be just skipped?? with some bloody term eastern Europe.. Sikorski Polish PM murdered in giblartar ahead of Yalta.

This documentary is full of adoration for Patton, and it is interesting. It also is a bit of an anti FDR propaganda film. At one point the narrator outright states the FDR had soviet spies in his cabinet. This is stated without any explanation and the more gullible viewer will swallow it hook line and sinker. To fully endorse this film, one pretty much has to be in the mindset that we should of pursued war against the USSR after defeating Germany, also be a big believer in the domino theory. There's a manipulativeness in this film, the way it drives home it's one sided point.

I'm suprised this was allowed to be made in this day and age. Patton, was right about most of his statements and comments. Maybe tholis will encourage people to read the Patton papers along with other historical diaries, documents and data and stray away from the approved set of lies that is stamped as history.
