My favorite complaint about this film is when Brits complain, "We never burned civilians alive in churches! There is no evidence anything like this ever happened anywhere... never ever!" Except it was a common tactic from the Scottish suppressions, well documented, and Cornwallis specifically requested troops familiar with the practice - his official requests are on the record. The fact that they left no survivors to testify against them is not absolution.
This is why Americans love their country so much.. it took sacrifice and dedication to survive and create this Country.
Accuracy? The general situation and the order of events are accurate. The character Benjamin Martin is patterened loosely after Francis Marion, The Swamp Fox, who had a nephew named Gabriel. The character Colonel Tavington is patterened after Lt. Colonel Banestre Tarleton. The final battle is patterened after The Battle of the Cowpens in South Carolina, insomuch as the tactics. The terrain is completely different. Cornwallis was not involved. It is possibly the first time that the American Army used a defense in depth. Lt.Colonel Tarleton's forces were decimated and routed.
The actor who portrayed Colonel Tavington the British bad guy you wanted dead is the same actor who played Lucius Malfoy in all the Harry Potter movies
Good reaction, Kamilla. Although this movie is a work of fiction, it is not far removed from the reality of how many of the British soldiers conducted themselves against the then-American colonists. This is why we have a US Constitution, a contract that binds the government into recognizing the natural-born rights of We the People. Natural born 'Rights' that would indeed exist even without the existence of the US Constitution. Freedom of speech, Right to bear arms, Rights against illegal searches and seizures, Rights against the government entering our homes and forcing us to house their soldiers etc etc etc. Those natural-born rights of We the People articulated within the first 10 Amendments of the US Constitution were part-and-parcel inspired by the brutal horrors that Americans suffered at the hands of the British in that era.
Early in the war the Continental Army suffered loss after loss. They were dealing with the most powerful army and navy in the world. Horatio Gates who was assigned the task of battling Gen. Cornwallis was full of himself as he thought he should have been leader of the army and not Washington, his ego inflated further after with the aid of Washington, won at their battle of Saratoga. However following a disastrous defeat at Camden, he overestimated the strength of his militia, and failed to retreat properly, Gates was replaced by Gen. Nathanael Greene, Gates was facing a court martial.
Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood are two of my favorite actors turning to directors ever. They just know how to make great movies and what the ingredients are.
“So, what was in the mail?” I wonder if there was junk mail in 1776.. 🤔
When Gabriel lies to his father about what Susan said, always gets me. There's a time for hard truths and a battle camp in a losing war might not be the best moment to stick to some truths. Shows how much Gabriel has matured and how with his new love he thinks more in a family way and not just a young man fighting in a war
Kamilla, if this time period and the American Revolution is of interest to you, I highly recommend the HBO Series John Adams. Its HBO so you know it meets a pretty high standard. It's only around 7-8 episodes I believe, but it's a very well done and informative series during this time period.. I am a new sub to you channel and over the weekend I have already watched many of your reactions. You have a sweet disposition and seem to value quality productions, keep up the good work and I look forward you many reactions to come, thank you!
Quote from Mel on this movie:
“Aim small, miss small” is something my family and friends still say when shooting rifles, especially when hunting.
The girl that played Susan/Skye McCole Bartusiak, the daughter who wouldn’t speak at first, died here in Houston, Tx in 2014. According to the M.E.’s office she died of an accidental overdose, she was 21 years old. 😢
LOL, "He just woke up his Braveheart."
I spent 31 years in South Carolina. A friend who worked in Charleston saw some of this filmed. The island that Benjamin Martin(partly based on Francis Marion, who was known as the Swamp Fox) used for a hideout was a popular wedding site for years after this was filmed.
People always seem so baffled about the way battles were fought, understandably, but the line formations and volleys didn't usually last very long, just for the beginning of battles, and if you think about it this is the way battles have always been fought except instead of arrows, spears, and shields there's rifles and cannons having been invented and innovated relatively recently..
Reasons for why armies of this time period fought like that.
Great film and great review. Thank you.
For such a moving film, I must admit I almost started laughing a little when she said, "His head fell off". All I could think of was Dumb and Dumber, lol.
The charge-halt-charge tactic, although counterintuitive to modern thought, was sound for the time. Martin saw the British were about to fire a volley, so by having his men halt the charge, he maintained a level of distance to make the shots slightly more difficult to the British. It also allowed timing such that his men would reach the British line while they had their rifle down for reloading, and thus less likely to be in a proper bayonet defense posture.
