So proud of Benjamin for telling his son the truth. The French and Indian War was one of the most brutal wars fought in North America. You can hear the agony in his voice when he tells Thomas to put away his red coat uniform and his voice icily quavers when he tells Gabriel what happened at Ft. Wilderness. 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
This scene is gold. The cherry on top would have been if Ben said “I was drunk and foolish enough to tell her…but I never forgot the look in her eyes.” And then told the story.
It’s fiction, but all wars, even the most justified wars in history have violence and meaningless death. This scene highlights that innocents suffer the most in war, and men who fight have to deal with finding out just who they really are inside and what they are capable of and living with it. War is one of the worst parts of life to live through.
@@earlofsmeg French and Indian war is the war betwen two empire who dominate North America,I know is a brutal especially in frontier in Pensilvanya,norhern New York and great lakes region.
Gabriel tells Ben to stay the course and that there will be a time for revenge, not at the sake of their mission. Yet when Gabriel’s wife gets murdered he gives in to the same lust for revenge and retribution that Benjamin gave into during his youth.
@@NightOwlUtopiaactually I think he hit the nail on the head.. in this hypothetical situation the Cherokee poked the bear and found out what happened when they did.
Okay- the rest of the story. The film skipped to first part of the incident upon which this scene is based. Yes- the Cherokee massacred many of the English troops after they left Fort Loudon. However, this was not long after the English murdered 16 Cherokee hostages at Fort Prince George near Keowee, SC. They killed by the panicked garrison during an attempt to move them, upon orders of the new governor. It was only after that did the Cherokee attack and massacred some the British garrison of Fort Loudoun near Chota (Itsati). However, many Cherokee leaders rescued some of the British (which Mel failed to mention). This conflict did not end until 1761.
A lot of people don’t realize the actions of the tribes were reactions of what was done to them such as scalping that was a white man thing. it was a brutal and sad time during the days of that era for my people the Lakota and for others
“My sons were better men” that line kind of rings true here Gabriel tells him to focus on the cause like a true solider
When you realize Martin was Tavington before Tavington was.
Tavington is a reflection of the man Martin once was, what he COULD have been if he'd not woken up to the inhumanity of his deeds.
@@jackmcmorrow9397 I know i'm just realizing that
Don't you dare! Don't you dare compare Martin and that " Azov " butcher. Martin was wrong- but he was justified. Tavington is a monster.
you’re so wrong man

Benjamin was trying to protect Gabriel from the truth: that men DO commit atrocious acts.
The whole movie Benjamin believes that the sins he committed in the French and Indian war had finally caught up to him

The 7 years war in the Americas was very brutal.
"We caught up with them at Fort Wilderness..."
I didn't realize there was soo much carnage in the French & Indian War that lasted 7 YEARS! 😳

Benjamin Martin's story is based off of the Siege of Fort Loudon not Fort William Henry. The Siege of Fort Loudon was small but violent and brutal.
