Video Reaction New Channel ua-cam.com/channels/7Tq5b-AL_VS3XNWKcQ-hxA.html
about this new channel, did you combine all australia, canada and US channels together or am i dreaming?
other question, i know why scenes r cut in movie reactions but do you guys listen to the whole movie or the cut versions here?
always some interresting stuff on your channels I like the fact that you dont always cut or talk over the videos too much like some others do,
also gotta respect the amount of time and work you put on this, about every day
my bad btw i wrote this comment twice (on another video)
Good 👍 movie. It shows how family does stay together during difficult times. It shows the love people have for their own nations how we will defend it.
Yes England had the best military in the world at that time and we went to war with them anyway. We Won that war and American Independence. A bunch of farmers with pitchforks and torches and just a few guns beat the most powerful military on earth. Do you know why? Because we had more determination and heart than they did.
The scarves you’re wearing on your heads look really nice, what are they called and where could I get them in those colors?…..
I give you guys a 15 for an awesome review.
13 stars for the original 13 colonies! The original "Old Glory!" THIS is why we are so passionate about our flag!
Also 13 stripes, still to this day! I would argue though, our passion for the flag came in the war of 1812. You should check out a video about it, called "the star spangled banner as you've never heard it"
1 minutes in and I am enjoying your review. Tks
This is why America should remember her former glory and regain its integrity.
By rejecting the way the war in Gaza is being carried out and rejecting what Trumpism and modern Republicanism stand for: destroying democracy and its institutions.
What a load of bollocks Former Slave owning glory? lol
US has never been richer than it is now
We are a people who have lost our way and forgotten who we are. I hope we remember before we lose everything.
I hope you stop falling for the BS propaganda that makes you believe that @@LibertarianJRT
Couldn't be said any better really
This movie is based loosely on the life of Francis Marion of South Carolina. He was called the Swamp Fox because he hid in the swamps with his men among them freed slaves & Native Americans. They would attack the British soldiers as depicted here in the movie. The Swamp Fox was very effective in beating the British army in S.C.
Partial as Ethan Allen also served as a footprint for the character.
And tavington is based on bannister tarrelton aka bloody ban. While most British soldiers weren't like tavington bannister tarrelton was but probably not as bad as tavington. And he survived the war if i remember correctly and went back to england became a politician.
Actually, most closely with Andrew Pickens, whose life story had a lot more parallel events. He was a plantation owner who gave his parole not to fight after the British took Charlestown, but when his house was burned by a loyalist mob, he took up arms again and became a guerrilla fighter. At the Battle of Cowpens, the final battle depicted in this film, after the militia fired their second shot and fled (it was a legit flight, not the planned retreat of the movie) and the colonial regulars engaged the British, Pickens rallied a large number of the militia who had fled the field and led a counter-charge against the British, much as Gibson's character does in the film.
I think they were less vocal about that historical figure when discussing the inspirations for Benjamin Martin, because he was a slaveowner or otherwise unsavory to modern sensibilities.
@dukerollo1116 Men like the real-life Tarrelton and the fictional character are sociopaths.
He didn't do those things because he fought for the Crown.
If he had been an American he would have committed the same atrocities.
The Swamp Fox was a many times great uncle in my family. His sister married my many times great grandfather and became our grandmother on the Duke side!
My grandfather 8 generations back from me was given a land grant in Kentucky by the Continental Congress for his service in the Revolution .He was already a 6th generation American at that time and the family still spoke Dutch .I was a professional wine taster ,buyer , and importer . I went to a wine growing estate in the south of France owned by the Comte de Grasse .When I met him , I asked him if he was a descendant of the Comte de Grasse who had commanded the French West Indies fleet which blockaded Chesapeake Bay and bottled up British General Cornwallis' at Yorktown forcing his army to surrender which ended the Revolutionary War . He answered that he was and he was very pleased that I knew some of his family's history .
The dog were not Pitbulls, but Great Danes.
Our old flag had 13 stars to represent the 13 colonies of America. This was before we had the States of today.
The original colonies were fine, we didnt need all these knock offs and reboots
@@ZartanDread 😂😂
This movie makes me proud of my colonial heritage and of my ancestors who fought for our independence.
If this Goebbelesque propaganda made you feel proud and not all the great things the USA has achieved I feel sad.
It is not real, if anything based on a slaver. Not what was portrayed in the movie. America is even worse then England 1776 these days.
I had family on both sides of this war, I am sorry to say that I am related to the man Jason Isaac's character is based on.
I consider Tavington to be one of the greatest villains of all time. RIP to Tom Wilkinson, General Cornwallis. A criminally overlooked actor who went to soon.
Ben Franklin in John Adams miniseries.
I only knew Tom Wilkinson from this and then Batman Begins and maybe one or 2 others but I loved his screen presence.
I believe our great villain in this excellent movie is Marshall Zhukov. 😆
@@blazinjedi2008He was great in Michael Clayton as well.
I had no idea Tom had passed😮
I liked the debate about fighting England. It was not an easy decision, and it was also a civil war. For years the Colonies tried to remonstrate with Parliament (who was the real power, not poor King George III). But one administration after the other refused to listen, though Parliament had a point: the Colonies had the least tax burden in the entire British Empire and the most local autonomy. But, the Colonies had no votes in Parliament. About 33% supported Independence, 33% were Loyalists, and 33% indifferent. It was hard fought war and a close run thing. Without the French the Colonists never win.
You can't go wrong with a Mel Gibson movie. Since you liked this one of him, "Braveheart" is another in which he is the starring role, a similar vein as this one.
I think Mel just hates the English.
@@binxbolling As an Australian, it makes sense.
This movie was loosely based upon actual events. At the end of the day freedom is all we have, it's worth fighting and if necessary, dying for.
loosely IN THE EXTREME. extremely inaccurate, like clownishly so. But having said that, the real story is like 10x more dramatic and jaw dropping
Braveheart and Apocalypto
Last of the Mohicans? 👍
And Prey
Those 2 are a no brainer. They will definitely do them at some stage.
Yes!
@@seraph6758yes please!
The Continentals were the American or united Colonies army. The Continental Army. It was estimated that only 30 percent of the people supported independence, around the same number were Loyalist who supported the Crown, and the rest didn't really care because their lives were really being disrupted. Colonel Tarleton was a real British officer during the Revolution in the South. He was called "The Butcher".
Tavington was based on Tarleton.
I read that: According to historians, 40% of Americans supported the American Revolution, while 20% opposed it. Some estimates suggest that 40-45% of the White population in the Thirteen Colonies supported the Patriots, while 15-20% supported the Loyalists, and the rest were neutral or kept a low profile. John Adams famously described colonial America as 1/3 patriot, 1/3 loyalist, and 1/3 neutral.
I read (according to Thomas Slaughter, the Arthur R. Miller Professor of History and author) of the 2014 book Independence: the Tangled Roots of the American Revolution) That many Americans switched allegiance and changed signs during the revolution depending on which side was winning. For example, at one inn along a well-traveled road in New Jersey-what is today Route 1-the innkeeper would send a servant out to look down the road every morning and throughout the day. If an army was spotted, the servant was charged with identifying the colors and raising the corresponding flag to keep soldiers from burning down the inn.

When they saw the flag which has 13 stars, one for each of the 13 colonies, they were shouting "Hurrah" (means to show approval).
Later during the civil war it was used in the song, "When Johnny comes marching home".
"Huzzah!"
It's Huzzah! An old time expression of joy and celebration, not sure about its origin.
Hurrah is from the French word hurra and means to shout (for joy) for a great victory. Huzzah is from the German word Hussa also expresses joy noting approval or encouragement. That's why you hear Huzzah! in rowing competitions. So, did they shout huzzah or hurrah? As i see it huzzah would be used in expectation, while hurrah would be used at or near completion.
@@joykind4258 I heard Huzzah! But I appreciate the language lesson, very interesting. 👍
You'll hear Huzzah on the British ships in "Master and Commander" as well.
Mel doesn't eff around when he makes a flick !!!!! Remember ,the eldest Son (Heath Ledger) was the Joker from Batman !!!!!
what a waste of talent to the world, thats sad :(
There were 13 original stars
They were only turning their heads to shoot because it was night time and the muzzle flash would blind their nightvision
Crazy how we faught hard against the British for a long time and now we are best buddies. Anything is possible in the world.
Well ehm they fought us too for a good Reason and Brexit or not. I like the British ppl. So much Culture but they were also no Angels.
@@silviahannak3213 I wish Hollywood would stop making movies like these though, I've met Americans in person who think this and Braveheart were incredibly historically accurate. Check out youtube comments on 'historical' Mel Gibson movies. When I was little I loved these movies and it made me dislike my country until I grew up and did my own research.
Even my own relatives in the states sometimes come out with things that make me facepalm and I can usually tell which movie it came from. For the record they aren't uneducated people either.
Japan had not lost a war in 500 years also until they attacked the US Military causing Unconditional Surrender upon themselves.
Holy shit is exactly what I said out loud when I saw you guys were gonna watch this!
I get off work at 12:30 today so I'm so excited to watch it.
thank you so much that made my day
Another beautiful reaction guys, I can't watch this movie without getting emotional so it was awesome to see your appreciation for it.
I love seeing your reactions to these movies because it gives me a rare opportunity to see through the eyes of a Muslim, which has been fascinating. Thats why I would love to see your reaction to Kingdom of Heaven, the director's cut. It's a great movie that mainly follows a Christian man's journey as he joins The Crusades in the Middle East. I understand how you could be hesitant to do a reaction to a movie like this but I promise you, the story is told beautifully and impartially honoring and showing the heroics and viewpoints of both the Muslims and Christians.
You dont know me, but I'm a friend and would not lie or seek to embarrass you. You would enjoy this movie and your viewpoint on it would be so interesting. At least watch it for yourselves, but again, make sure it's the Director's Cut. ❤️🙏😎
Definitely recommend Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut. Amazing film.
Fantastic movie. 5 stars
You two seem chill and get it, nice to see.👍
Thanks 👍
I just came across your guys' channel & had to subscribe, I love you guys, you are awesome!!! I'm an American & I spent a good portion of my youth fighting in Muslim countries, I met some pure evil people there, but I also met some of the most beautiful, wonderful and kind souls I've ever met & you two really remind me of those good people!!!!!!! I look forward to watching more movies with you guys & listening to you two, I enjoyed it very much!!! Take care of yourselves!!!
The movie is based off actual events. Benjamin Martin is patterned after Francis Marion who the British called the Swamp Fox. The British cavalry officer is based after Banastre Tarleton.
The axe is a Tomahawk, a weapon used by the American Indians. (Or native American if you prefer)
ITs a movie and many things are over the top but the messeage remains. Freedom is not Free.
This is a good movie
right, always a classic to me and one of mel gibson's greatest movie
we watched this at school within 2-3 days, couldnt wait for the end👍half of the class was cryn 😁
this is exactly how European armies fought in that era. it was deemed "honorable" to face your opponant like a mass dual. to our eyes with our modern society and knowledge this was stupid. but back in the day this was "gentlemenly warfare" snipers and gurilla fighting was seen as dirty dishonorable and shameful. yes it was stupid but thats how it was.
"yes it was stupid but thats how it was."
Well, if you fight stupid AND create the British Empire while doing so... how stupid must their enemies had fought?
it was because the the barrels of the rifles were not rifled yet in this era. So if you bunch every one together you are bound to hit something. Unrifled barrels are accurate up to only 20 feet or so. they are shooting from much farther away. So, if you bunch up your rifles close together they are all together much more likely to hit something farther away. Just like a shotgun!
@@johnduval6377Though not very accurate those black powder unrifled guns, could with practice be a a bit more accurate at a little further distance, but not much. But they could pack as wallop, even at 100 meters. The wounds were devastating.
The tactics of the time seem so foolish to us now, but being an honorable man was all a man might have. I think of, "My word is my bond."
More important than his life.
I think we should learn from it. Too much about being an honorable man has been forgotten in today's world.
@@johnduval6377the shoulder-to-shoulder lines were used long before guns were invented, in order to take advantage of the psychology of horses. Horses won’t charge an unbroken line of men standing shoulder to shoulder.
Watch the Sharpe TV series with Sean Bean a BBC series about England vs Napolian during roughly same time period very enjoyable series
Last of the Mohicans should now be on your watchlist. Such a good movie.
Best drama movie ever. And best soundtrack too. And background events much more historically accurate than the Patriot (love the Patriot but let’s be honest)
@@billbliss1518 Patriot follows such a standard dull Hollywood formula ... weak middle of the road dialog
I think one of the big reasons the 13 colonies (before they were officially called the United States) won against the British was because the common folk had guns. We didn't have an army with trained soldiers like England but we had commoners that could shoot well! (Needed for hunting)
Also those colonies were at that time only a minor territory.
Other places where war raged maybe were viewed as being more important to the British.
Especially when it came to fighting the French, or to secure Canada.
Keep in mind the UK dominated enough to conquer Washington, burn it down and beat the young USA not much later.
People in England had guns too .
Doesn't matter if the people in England had guns, the war was here
@@karenpowell6063This is true. But the commoners of England were not the ones fighting us. It was the soldiers. In reality, if we had sent our military to England to fight against their armed citizens, there is a very good chance we would have lost. It all comes down to how determined the populace is. As someone pointed out, only about 30% of our own population at the time, were willing to fight for independence. Luckily, that was enough. And their resolve was enough that they were able to "stay the course." I would venture to say that those statistics may remain the same today. The question would be, how determined is today's 30% compared to then? Regardless, an armed populace of any nation has better odds of overcoming invasion and/or tyranny than any unarmed populace. It's just, what is their resolve? And let's face it, an unarmed populace is just sitting ducks for invaders and tyrannical governments. This has been proven true, time and again, throughout the history of the world. Governments who successfully disarm their citizens, while sometimes slowly and other times overnight, do eventually end up creating a tyrannical ran society with the citizens losing all rights. It is the sole reason that governments disarm their citizens. Power. No arms gives them complete power and control. However, it also opens that government up to defeat from an invasion. It is a fine line that a dictatorial government must walk.
@@karenpowell6063they're not saying that England didn't have guns, they're basically saying that if it was just the American soldiers like England had fighting at the time then America probably wouldn't have won. But the common people who were fighting just to protect their families and neighbors had guns as well and that made the difference
Standing in big rows in open field actually makes more sense with the bigger armies of Europe.
It allows the commander to observe and command flanking maneuvers and artillery much more effectively. Also given the inaccuracy of early firearms large groupings were a must to achieve much more than wasting ammo at 100+ yards.
And if I understand right, being in a scattered formation in that time was an invitation for cavalry to run right through you.
@@user-bx6tj7jf5byup, horses won’t charge an unbroken line of men standing shoulder to shoulder, but as soon as one guy is missing, the horses will run at that gap and crash right thru.
I think you guys are beginning to understand why Americans are like we are! We've HAD to fight for what we believe in and we always will!
Great movie! Love how Benjamin Martin took back Cornwallis's dogs. Was so glad to see Tavington get his at the end!
The ax is called a tomahawk
Yes, a Cherokee tomahawk
The US has had a number of flags in its history because of the addition of new states throughout time. The flag Gibson's character brought back after almost quitting was one of the first flags used to represent the US as a nation. 13 stars for each of the original 13 colonies. I can't remember if there were 13 stripes with that specific flag or not but to pay tribute to the original colonies, the current US flag has 13 horizontal stripes along with the 50 stars for each state. As far as I know, there have always been 13 stripes on any US flag.
The US Flag during the war of 1812 (when the Star Spangled Banner was written) had 15 stars and 15 stripes. Congress went back to 13 stripes as new territories became states.
@@nimbrag I learned something today, thank you!
The younger generation of Americans need to watch this . They've been brainwashed by propaganda to hate their own country and this movie is a great reminder of the strength and sacrifice our ancestors had to create this country . Yes American government has done some bad things and we can criticize the bad things while still remaining proud patriots . Thank you to the bros for watching this one
Yes. I love my country but that doesn’t mean I love my government.
Much love to the Algerian peoples ❤
Looking forward to your next movie reaction.
First Independence Day and now this? Me sees a pattern mayhaps.
Great reactions as always, keep it up!
Y'all reacted to the way wars used to be fought the same way I did when I first watched this as a kid.
That guy was a tyrant, and he was a war criminal you are right. The Second in command knew it and was ashamed. "I hate him, I hate him so much..." funny how you said that. The man was spitting out some chewing tobacco. Instead of smoking they chew it.
Sleepy Hollow and Pirates of the Caribbean and The Last of the Mohicans are good movie also. Have a nice day
Y'all knocked another one out of the ballpark beautiful reaction Brothers y'all want to check out another good movies somebody said already Braveheart and the Magnificent Seven the original and the Remake you'll love it🇺🇲✌
At that time only heavy cavalry (Cuirassiers) did wear some kind of armor.
Btw. the term Guerilla war comes from the Spanish irregular fighters that waged war against Napoleons army when the French occupied Spain.
That armor was also not for protection against firearms, but rather to protect the rider from the enemy's sabres and bayonets. As this also meant they were no longer dueling opponents, there was a significant downgrade in amount of armor worn by heavy cavalry, which used to wear full plate mail, to just a breastplate (or cuirass, hence the word "Cuirassiers"). This increased the rider's mobility, endurance, and fighting flexibility, at the cost of protection to the extremities and the head. Firearms could easily punch through steel armor, so that's why it was used very minimally, and not worn at all by infantry until the development of flak and kevlar vests.
(Pretty sure you know this already, just giving additional context for those who might not.)
@@geoffreyreuther5260 The heavy armor was also protection against firearms. That's why they often had a single dent from a live fire test as a proof of quality.
@@wolfgangkranek376 You're right, my apologies. I was conflating a regular iron cuirass for the higher quality steel ones that were used by organized cavalry units.
@@geoffreyreuther5260 Thank you, good Sir. No need for an apology.
The night battle scene when the soldiers turned their heads, they were sort of shooting blindly. They pointed their musket at the last target they acquired before turning their head and pulling the trigger. The musket of that time period used a piece of flint and a flashpan that would hold a small amount of gunpowder to ignite the main charge in the barrel. This flashpan was mounted on the side of the barrel, basically right in front of the face of the shooter. The resulting explosion of the gunpowder in the flashpan, while very small, could still cause hot powder to hit the face or even the eye. At night, as in that scene, the flash from the ignition of powder in the pan could also momentarily affect the shooter’s night vision. This is why you will see men close their eye/s or turn their head or both at the moment they pulled the trigger.
Habibi brother on the left was about to tear up a bit @ 58:30 and you know what,... I was about to join you! 😄
My Great-great-great-great Grandmother left a written Journal of her Life during the Revolution War.. in 1776 to1781... They were Empire Loyalists , 2nd Cousins of King George the 3rd.. They headed North to Canada,but They also were Quakers & set up a Hospital Hostel on the Border & looked after ALL WOUNDED , NOT MATTER WHAT SIIDE & WHEN ABLE SENT THEM ON THEIR WAY !!~ There was more in the Journal, Names etc, .But was hard to read,,, But is Part of History .. A 1/3 of my Family STILL to this DAY,ARE LOVING FAMILY MEMBERS,, WE HAVE NOT LOST OUR NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY !! WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER !!::)))))
Loved your passion.
One of my favorite movies, thank you for the video. I like seeing the reactions of people from other cultures.
At 1:00:42- you mentioned that they are Christians. A true Christian would never kill innocent people in such a way. True Christians, like true Muslims, are peaceful and kind people.
I just subscribed to your channel.
The American Revolution against England lasted 7 years. Not everyone in the AMerican Colonies fought against the King of England. Some left the Colonies others tried to stay out of the way or fought for the King. The reason for fighting was that the Americans believed that they were Englishmen and deserved to be treated as Englishmen. They sent letters to the King asking him to treat them fairly and the King sent troops to occupy their towns.
Up until the American Civil War, (1861-65) most people had more allegiance to their state instead of the nation.
I love to watch your reactions. I know there is things that you see while you react too movie's, music, and comedy but you never disrespect anyone or there views. Also while keeping your soul and integrity. Great reaction.
Though I only recently found your guys' channel, I am so glad that I did. Your honest & thoughtful commentary is always a treat. I don't even have to think whenever I see one of your videos pop up on my feed; I just click right away because I know I'm going to enjoy it & will appreciate what you both have to say, and this one was no exception!
"The Patriot" is a favorite of mine, so I'm happy to have gotten the opportunity to hear your thoughts on it, and I'm especially glad that you both enjoyed it! A fantastic movie made even better by a fantastic reaction!
Wonder reaction gentlemen. Thank you for this. Inshallah
Good Men of all faiths understand the importance of duty and honor. Good video Gentleman.
21:23 - "How many bullets do they have?" - single-shot smoothbore flintlock rifles. If you had access to pre-measured paper cartridges that were starting to be available in the era, you could load and shoot 3-4 times per minute. However, they show Benjamin with a powder horn, which would have enough powder for approximately 30 shots and had a slower reload time. The boys are probably sharing a horn and shot pouch, so the three of them probably have 60 rounds total.
23:40 - Yes, that's Adam Baldwin. He was in Independence Day too, but for a lot of people their favorite role for him was in the series Firefly and the follow-up movie Serenity.
Those black people were freedman under mel Gibson actually character
Very good reaction
The Continental Army was the first regular army, .. as the American colonies first tried using citizen militia but the militia had to go home to tend their crops. Most in the US actually feared having its own large regular army in peacetime (only raising big armies in the American Civil War and WW1 .. otherwise just keeping small frontier and expeditionary units w/a core of Army officers trained at West Point ).
It took the horrors of WW2 (1940s-today) to get the US to commit to having a large standing army.
Corporate America was thrilled with how profitable WW2 was, and there was a big movement to create what was called “a permanent war economy.” 🤔
So glad you watched this great movie. Your reactions never disappoint.
BTW, the youngest of the Martin sons, William, the one who did not join the ambush to rescue Gabriel, was played by Logan Lerman, the new guy character in "Fury", with Brad Pitt, which I understand this channel has reviewed.
I still crack up laughing at the fireworks lady.
I love the deductions. You are two very smart men. Watching you both figure things out that you don’t understand at first, very very smart thing you do. “Talk about joining. Joining an Army perhaps?”
You two did not disappoint! I didn't expect you to understand alot about this movie. But I appreciate the fact you tried. Your commentary was funny to listen too as you argued about just about every scene. Thank you from an American!
I am a new subscriber. You had me an Independence Day and now THE PATRIOT ! LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS REACTION!
1:09:19 "Huzzah" sometimes written hazzah; originally spelled huzza means: hurrah or hooray.
thanks for the cool reaction video Habibi
Great reaction
My fifth great grandfather joined at 46 years old. Served in the Colonial Regulars in the Massachusetts "Bloody Eigth" regiment. Got shot through the neck in 1779. Managed to survive.
The evil general was Lucious Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. He was a villain in that too. 😊
You should see what they did to the Irish. Savage treatment.
So a little backstory to explain why the Frenchman didn't like Benjamin. The battle at Fort Wilderness happened during the French Indian war from 1754 to 1763. Where France and England were fighting over control of North America. Benjamin had killed a lot of French soldiers while fighting for the British Army hench why the Frenchman didn't like him at first.
Liked it.
They called it "Gentleman's Warfare." It was a style of warfare refined in western culture, in which the two opposing armies would meet on a field of battle and fight in head to head and eventually hand to hand combat
England - Playing the bad guy since 1099
Now, you should see more accurate, based on non-fictional source material history films set during the U.S. Civil War... "Glory" and "Lincoln." Powerful and deeply moving films.
W reaction guys, subscribed.
And this movie was filmed in beautiful South Carolina ❤ wonderful reaction guys 😊
Btw, the Frenchmen is supposed to evoke figures like the Marquis de Lafayette, whose participation in the war for independance made him a hero in France, and he would later become an important figure of the French Revolution, becoming the first general of the National Guard, who enforced the resolutions of the National Assembly. In many ways, the idea of an independent nation with an army in adequation with its people paved the path for many countries like Algeria to gain their own independance later in History. I'm a Quebecer tho, so still waiting. Them Red Coats are still up there in the Citadel of Quebec ahaha...
When England invaded us in 1759, general Wolfe had pretty much every villages from Gaspesia to Quebec City burned. It's this war - that the Americans refers to as the "French and Indians war", the rest of the world refers to as "the Seven Years War" and us, French Canadians refers to as "The War of the Conquest" - in which the main character here has fought before the events of this movie (1776) and makes him regretful of what he did then under British command. The British certainly were ruthless... against us and our indigenous allied. They would later deport the whole region of Acadia to various places in the world... And Lord Durham later wrote a report recommanding our complete assimilation since we "didn't have any history"... So never underestimate what made Quebec so defensive of its culture against the Anglos.
my great great great great grandfather fought in South Carolina during the Revolution. A farmer-solider.
Salam Habibis, The Continentals was the American Colonial army that fought the British for independence.
28:00 this was standard battlefield tactics of that day. They fought using smooth bore muskets which were notoriously inacurate. They marched in boxes to increase the chances of hitting their target.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this great movie.. there are parts that are very hard to watch again but I stuck with it. My ancestors were here before the colonists and fought with them and also the colonists who fought in the war so I have an abiding love for my country. Strength and Courage to All Those Standing Up For Freedom!
A love for family, neighbors, what we as men and fathers would do for families; everyone can understand stand this and I look forward to a day when we see each other as neighbors, just all over the world.
Braveheart would be a good movie to watch (it´s about a part of the fight of the Scotish for independence), Dancing with Wolves or The Last of the Mohicans, Last Samurai, my favorite will always be the Indiana Jones movies (the old three), Australia (movie 2008).
I must say I just subscribe a few days ago but I already watched a lot of your videos. You have a great sense of humor and from what I can tell you are very good people.
One of my favorite movies. Mel Gibson is a LEGEND.
Y’all’s reactions are priceless I’m the American 🇺🇸 patriot who luvs your understanding of patriotic movies
great movie. Makes me feel angry, laugh, cry and full of American pride.
don't get that every day.
Thanks for the reaction.
Thanks guys. It's always fun to watch your reactions. I think you are good, honest men.
I love this movie. It accurately portrays life in the 13 original colonies. Mel Gibson is very detail oriented in his films. This one stirs a lot of emotion, whether American or not. Most people can relate to the desire for freedom.
God puts that desire in our hearts.
Another film I highly recommend is, "The Last of the Mohicans." It's based on an historical novel written by James Fenimore Cooper, an Early American author. It takes place in 1757, during the French and Indian War. The Mohicans were a Native American people. Native Americans fought as allies of both the French and the British.
The rest you'll find out when you watch it. 😁
There was a guy that really did this. It wasn’t quite as crazy as the movie, but the scene where he’s hiding behind the tree, waiting for them to come down the road to attack, that happened. They wound up stabbing him with a bayonet like 14 times and he still lived another 18 years after that, dying at age 96. Oh yeah, and he was 78 years old when he did this. Wild.
Ya'll are the first people I've ever seen that said today's warfare is less brutal than war in the 1700's...
As bad as today is, at least modern armies try to avoid civilian deaths. Until somewhere in the 1990's, civilian deaths were a normal part of war.
Nations today are MUCH more cognizant of avoiding civilian casualties... while terrorists use that knowledge to hide behind civilians,
Wonderful reaction!✌️
Great job guys!!!

Awesome review. I am at home by myself. I feel like the 3 of us are watching together. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really like your guy's reactions, you should react to "Oversimplified" American Revolution and Civil War. Very funny, very accurate. I grew up in this country, and learned more from their half hour videos than 12 years in public school.
Yes, I was thinking the same. Oversimplified makes it more fun and easy to learn history. I highly recommend it. And, they have many history videos explaining lots of historical events.
Firearms started commonly appearing in the 15th century and it took a lot of time for plate armour to disappear but eventually it did as armies completely transformed to basically just soldiers with guns, artillery, and cavalry. Armor had been very inefficient against guns but low accuracy and fire rate still made it mandatory as protection from sidearms and backup weapons. When the doctrine changed and line infantry started being used, armour became mostly just dead weight. The last nail was the invention of the bayonet, the common soldier could rely solely on his gun. While armour could help against those, it hindered battle maneuvers, and cost a lot of resources and time to make. Soldiers were now enlisted and drafted instead of being levies under feudalism, that meant governments had to provide them with equipment themselves en masse. Armour was not cost-effective.
My great x4-5 grandfather was a kilt wearing Scottish Loyalist to the King of England, fought against the Patriots and was captured along with some others. They were imprisoned and were likely going to be put to death. Their wife's petitioned for their release with the assurance that they would no longer take up arms. They didn't, of course, cause I'm here today. But it's an interesting part of my history that I learned a few years back.
I Thoroughly Enjoyed Your Reaction 🫠
Thank You So Much
❤2U&2ALLU❤🇺🇸
So glad!
Excited about the next movie y'all review
I’m not religious in anyway but seeing the respect and often sadness of other relgious people in the movie reactions. It gives me hope that someday every human in the world will understand we aren’t that different after all. Maybe I’m over thinking things. I don’t know. Just my opinion.
This movie is loose;y based upon the story of a real soldier in the Revolution . His name was Francis Marion , he was called the Swamp Fox . He had fought the Indians and he used the guerilla tactics which the Indians used instead of the traditional moronic European tactic of lining up facing each other in the open and just shooting each other until one side broke and ran . The bad British officer was based upon Tarleton , who was called " the Butcher "
