we were part of the counterculture. >> "patton" was a film about world war ii and connects with the great estrogen ration. but it's also a film about reconsidering war and connects with the vietnam generation. >> you're just a coward. >> and it is told with irony by this young screenwriter named francis ford cupla. >> coppla had his foot in hollywood before that. >> i was very unhappy during the production because you didn't get the cast. you didn't get to pick the art director. you didn't get to do the final postproduction. out of my frustration, one of highlights of the picture, this skinny kid would come watch what i was doing and became a friend of mine. that was george lucas.
