After all the losses they'd had recently, Gabriel's death could have crippled the militia's morale.
I'm not American I'm Aussie but I if I may, I agree with you this the America I would like to visit. The America with morals and justice and I know my country is not much better, I love my country, the USA seems great as well and went I do visit the USA I want it to be as great or setting the bar low... Almost as great
Even when you have lost so much. even when you think you have reached your limit and can’t go on. You must Stay the Course. For your family and friends. For your country, for your faith. Stay the course.
These words really ring true today, especially in our generation where kids get easily depressed and then attempting suicide. We need this kind of mental fortitude
It is often overlooked, but I LOVE Chris Cooper in this scene. The dialogue between him and Mel is truly golden... I almost feel like, if there was a book written, this scene depicts its main message. About loss, despair, freedom, what is worth fighting for, etc. This would be, the climax of the story. Though it is very somber, it rings strong and clear of what it means to Not Give Up.
This scene really highlights what a fantastic actor that Mel Gibson could be & still is. He still matters. Always will. Hopefully he keeps staying the course. Mel has so much acting & creative gas left in his tank. Plenty of great days ahead of him.
@Nordic Tyr like much in life it is self evident. Code words are meaningless without action to back them up. Where was yellow Tuesday when it was tree watering time?
There are people like this that it's called 75 million Trump supporters. I would actually say more but since the election was rigged and the current president and I used this word very loosely is in office we're screwed for now. We don't have enough people in our government to do the right thing. We probably do need a civil war to clean out the government but I don't know if that'll ever happen because people think that all you have to do is be patient and kind and things get better.
@Nordic Tyr I understand what you're saying but I also fear that my country won't survive either. People who follow God and care about doing what God wants we're ignored. Basically we have crazy people running our country. Only thing I can think of is that we have to trust God that he'll take care of it but the next three layers looks pretty damn scary not to mention we have a president who won't stand up to China. I do try to live one day at a time but it's hard when you're keeping track of everything I sometimes just turn it all off because it's overwhelming. The sad truth is we're starting to lose our freedoms and if we don't take a stand now there won't be in America but I don't know it taking a stand looks like We tried to do it the right way but our supreme Court is so corrupt we can't get anything done. I just know that we're going to suffer a lot over the next 3 years I don't know what that looks like but it's not going to be easy especially for Christians

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Mel Gibson.. I mean this guy saved us from the British in Braveheart and then he fought against the British in the patriot!! If it wasn't for him we would all be British
I am making sure to stay the course. Clips like this are motivation for me regardless. It will be tough and things may get ugly but I’m a patriot of this great nation. The Navy Seals motto is very true: “The only easy day was yesterday” but the motto of the early Continental Marines “Don’t Tread On Me” is one I will stand by always and regardless of how things may get, I’m made of red, white, blue, patriotism and freedom. I have to stay the course and I always will.
it kind of makes me wish that we lived in a simpler time... in a time when one had hope of fighting against tyranny and actually winning. these days i don't know if that sort of hope lives. the sophistication and wealth those at the top have had these last few decades, to defend their interests is just too great... and the gap only widens
There is always hope, and while their methods may be more sophisticated, tyrants are never invulnerable. Don't forget, it felt similarly hard for people back then, they fought one of the largest most powerful empires in the world. And they found the courage, balls, tactics and allies to defeat it. And I think so will we. We have to.
I dont consider myself a nationalist or frankly even patriotic person. This shit gave me chills when I first saw it in theaters and still does to this day. Seeing him ride over that hill and all the men greeting him is some metal shit.
The revolutionary war was won in the Southern colonies. King's Mountain, Cowpens, Guildford Courthouse, and finally Yorktown. Thanks in those small part to the French Navy blockading Cornwallis from leaving. Viva La France
It's truly amazing the power that a flag can give to the morale of an army in it's darkest hour. Symbols can mean everything between a sure defeat and a decisive victory.
Sadly, these types of sadness are coming towards us. Brother against brother, faction against faction, right here on our own soil. You can see the writing on the wall. There will be many deleted and many, many tears. Could have been avoided about ten years ago, but the evil one has his agents in place and the prince of this world is ready to show his hands. Are you ready?
The movie may not be historically accurate but the story writing is pretty amazing. A guy with a haunting past loses two sons in a war he did not want to be a part of. That is heartbreaking to the max. Oh, and this after losing his wife a few years prior.
1776: One day all of you The British, The Americans, and The French will join forces to stop an unstoppable enemy 1941: The time has come to band together and stop The 3rd Reich
I remember this saying about Honoring the Dead but I can’t remember who said it is it Gautama Buddha or Lao Tzu or Confucius The Best Way to Honour a person who has gone before us is to continue the Good Deeds he has lived for! K
I'll always love Mel Gibson for this scene I love stories about that time period. Dan Morgan and Nathaniel Green are two people that should be commemorated more.
Unfortunately our nation has become so divided, I thought after 9/11 we would rally together just as we did for both world wars! This film demonstrates what unity can do for a country, it helps us defeat our adversaries or scare them off which is what I think happened in the American Revolution, the British became terrified of a united America and tried to come back even stronger in the War of 1812 yet failed again!!
Umm it was the only war that Americans lost. And we Canadians burned down your White House after you tried to take Canada from the british. In case you havent noticed Canada is a thing still. Read your history books again. Lol it was an American conquest to stop the natives from helping britian

I completely agree. I live in Taiwan and over the last 15 years I've seen America disintegrate. I was born and raised in California it sucked when I lived there with the exception of my Christian University. At the time Christians still could attend church but had to live under rocks when it came to sharing their faith. I believe the last 40 years has been a disservice to my generation.

No shit Sherlock.
The movie may not be true to history but the spirit is true. The spirit of 76. Liberty, so precious and delicate, can be lost so easily.
I get goosebumps every time you get the first glimpse of Old Glory approaching. One of the most patriotic scenes in film history.
True flag of the REPUBLIC!!!
Old Glory is the original Rebel Flag
...the banner yet waves, baby!...

I used to be proud.
When he rode by the troops, who else got braveheart vibes?
My thought honestly? "Oh hell, not again!. You've used that trick before Mel. It doesn't work twice!"
Yes! I’m going to splice both scenes together
HOU-ZAHHH!!!!
This whole movie should be Braveheart 2.
His men standing vigil outside always gets to me. They all mourn Gabriel and they grieve with their colonel, but allow him privacy and keep others back as well.

Benjamin was right- his sons WERE better men! Tavington's fatal mistake was taking a gentleman for a coward.
Iam Dutch for 10 seconds i was a proud American.
That feeling, ... that's patriotism, and yes its felt across nations, for other nations too
The Dutch are always welcome in the United States. God bless the Netherlands!
Mel Gibson, what an actor.
Every bloody American should be forced to watch this these days and let it sink in.
Forced? What about Freedom? Sounds like you want a dictatorship?
I am pretty sure they fought so you wouldn't be forced shit... And they also fought so you and i have to say whatever we want.
I cry every time I see Old Glory and Mel Gibson riding with his horse. That's one of the best scenes I've ever seen.
