My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I saw that film about Patton the other day. It was kind of stupid that it didn't include his death, but otherwise I liked it.
I don't like Rocky.

The film did not depict Patton's death because he died an ignoble death in a freak car accident. An accident which, by the way, happened after the war and after Patton returned to Europe from a hero's welcome in the US. The car accident was such that the speed of impact was no more than 20-30 mph. Patton hit his head in such an odd way that despite the slow speed the impact inflicted a mortal head wound. In any event it would have been a terrible way to end the film. They foreshadowed his meaningless death in the final scene, with that heavily laden pushcart nearly killing him as it rolled out control down a steep street in his direction. Having Patton walk his timid bull terrier 'Willie' off into the windmill dotted horizon was a wonderful way to end the film... and a none too subtle reference to Don Quixote & Pancho Villa.
Rocky is a great underdog story! Just treat the first Rocky movie as the only one in the series and it becomes a much better film.
