In Patton (1970, George Schaefer), the hero delivers a line one does not expect to hear from a Hollywood war hero. Surveying the battlefield after a horrific slaughter of troops, General Patton says, "God help me, I do love it so." The line is not surprising, given what the audience knows about Patton, but it contradicts our expectations of Hollywood war heroes, who traditionally go to battle not gleefully but out of reluctant bravery and a sense of duty.
