One of the reasons I love this movie is because it's so hypocritical and the actual war in the movie isn't World War 2, but is the war going on within Patton himself. For example, he's doing what he believes is right, like not listening to orders and slapping soldiers, but it damages his career. Another example is that Patton is a poet, yet he curses like a sailor. This film also supports war, yet it says that war is terrible as well. Clearly, Patton is full of dichotomies.
