Happy 4th of July everyone!!!
This movie kicks your ass. It's an emotional rollercoaster for sure!
Seems like no one understands the strategy. It’s actually quite simple. At this point musketry was inaccurate so mass volleys were the only way to effectively damage the enemy. Further, cavalry was a serious danger to infantrymen. So, as a result, it became absolutely necessary for soldiers to mass together in lines to both be effective at volley fire and to defend against cavalry charges. It’s really no more crazy than masses of men charging to fight with swords.
and the British were the best at it.
Infantry could not resist cavelry unless they "form square!". Then, they were so closely massed that they were vulnerable to Horse Canon, small pieces brought with the cavelry, or to the heavy canon if in range. Deadly business either way.
My two favorite moments in this movie are early on, when recruiting for the militia and Benjamin Martin shows Occam serious respect when he asks him to make his mark if HE is willing. Then, before the final battle start, when the deeply racist Dan Scott has the exchange with Occam...
Dan Scott : It's October now.
Occam : I know.
Dan Scott : It's more than twelve months. You're a free man
Occam : I'm here now on my own accord.
Dan Scott : I'm honored to have you with us. Honored.
Breaks me down every time... proof that a man CAN change.
This movie will tear you apart. So many moments of deep grief. I wish people could understand what war does. If you've never been in one, movies like this can help... but never reach the depth of pain war brings. Should be required viewing. This one and Saving Private Ryan.
20:53 I absolutely lose it every time when the first person stands. Gets me bawling like a baby.
The reason they stood in lines and fired at one another is, if they spread out, the cavalry would tear them apart even easier; You can't charge a mass of bayonets, they act like pikes did. Cavalry wouldn't become obsolete until around 1940.
I saw it in theater when I was 16 with my dad, and later got the DVD and kept my ticket, and put it in the case.
The final pistol shot was for Thomas, the gut stab was for Gabriel, and the throat stab was for Benjamin.
One of the reasons the war in South Carolina was so vicious was the British issued a proclamation that basically said, publicly swear allegiance to England and The King or you will be considered a traitor and treated accordingly. You had to choose a side.
“I’m a parent, I haven’t got the luxury of principles”
Mel Gibson's character is largely based on Brigadier General Francis Marion, of South Carolina, who was known as "The Swamp Fox."
Disney had a TV show in the late '50s called THE SWAMP FOX. The characters included Francis Marion, Lt. Colonel Tarleton, upon whom Col. Tavington is based, and Marion's son Gabriel. Leslie Nielsen of THE NAKED GUN fame, played The Swamp Fox.
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”
Michael W Smith
Love the review. Agree with your rating. One of my all-time favorites
Gotta love that hatchet scene 🍻🍻🍻
nice job man-the part where his son is killed is amazing. Easy to forget there was a war fought in this country.
We’ve had a few fought on U.S. soil, but this was the first.
"The rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air."
That was the War of 1812 when the British launched a naval bombardment on Fort McHenry.
Lol once again, I'm not a historian. I'm just an idiot that watches movies
Three guys you should never piss off in a movie Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford and Denzel Washington 😀
"Kill me before the war is over, will you? It appears that you are not the better man."
"You're right. My sons were better men."
Fun Fact: Heath Ledger didn't work for a year because he only got offers for teen heartthrob roles. He was about to quit acting, and return to Australia, when he was cast in the film.
Location Location Fact: Aunt Charlotte's (Joely Richardson) house is the same one used in Forrest Gump (1994), with slightly different interior paneling. The stone hedge visible in Forrest Gump (1994) is camouflaged with bushes in this film.
Marksman Technique Fact: When teaching Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger how to shoot a muzzle-loading rifle, technical advisor Mark Baker gave them the "aim small, miss small" advice, meaning that if you aim at a man and miss, you miss the man, while if you aim at a button (for instance) and miss, you still hit the man. Gibson liked this bit of advice so much, he incorporated it into the movie, just prior to the ambush scene.
Historical Fact: The historical accuracy of the costumes and settings was overseen by the Smithsonian Institution. It's the first time the Institution ever worked directly on the production of a movie. In addition to Francis Marion, a.k.a. The Swamp Fox, Mel Gibson's character is also based on the life of South Carolina militia leader General Andrew Pickens. Pickens had his estate torched, and lost a son, before he went back into action and led the militia forces at Cowpens.
It's true one of the best movies to watch on the 4th of July
As ineffective as that those big clumsy formations seem, they were actually the height of military innovation at the time. Prior to this, controlling massive formations of soldiers without descending into utter chaos was basically impossible. The use of drums and flags, and instilling an unwavering discipline in the troops allowed military leaders to more easily control massive armies like this and easily crush smaller forces. Yes, it looks weird to watch soldiers just stand there and eat rounds, but it was necessary to achieve the overall goal: effective control over massive forces.
This is a Great Film not for the Historical Accuracy of the War but for the Spirit of the American Revolution! I've been to the Chatleston ( Charles Town ) Area of South Carolina and it's a Beautiful Region of the South. It has many Historic Sites from the Revolution and the American Civil War. On my last visit I toured Middleton Place ( Cornwallis' Hqs. ).
The historicity of this film is actually the most inaccurate part. This is American history for right wingers who will never bother to check the source lol
The musket was a smooth bore weapon, and so, was only accurate for 50-100 yards. In order for it to be a force against an enemy it had to be fired enmass, a little like a cannon firing grape shot. These tactics would not change until the weapons changed. It was brutal, but they had no choice.
Not incredibly accurate history wise but they did blend together a lot of historical figures and battles from the Revolution.
They brought back the savage that Benjamin had tried to forget.
They fought like that because the weapons of the time were very inaccurate. The Musket's weren't rifled, they were smooth bore. The rifled weapons were much harder to load and took far longer. Firing on mass assured that you hit something.
The movie is good. If you want to go old school 1776 and The Devil and Daniel Wrebster.
The music and songs were used as orders. One meant advance, one retreat, one maneuver one way. With the smoke and cannon and gunfire orders could not be effectively spoken or signaled otherwise
Yeah. No family wants to hear their little boy is going off to war. I don't really speak to my family often, but i still showed up to let them know i was going to war after i signed up. They may have not approved, but its decency that dictates you let them know.
Col. Tavington, Lucius Malfoy same dirt bag. What a great actor to play those villains.
40:06 he was doing what his son would have wanted him to do
My parents always talked about the things our ancestors did to bring freedom of choice of way of life .. I hear a lot of talk about how it's bad history when in fact it takes good hearted people to make a better world ... We need to focus on a better life for all ... Two things come to mind "Don't tread on Me" and "Live free or die" ... God Bless us all .. the American melting pot of life
The way people react to this movie is them telling us how little they learned in school.
Yeah the warfare may have been stupid and dumb back then, but that was when people still believed in the word honor back then. I still believe in that word
funny, both Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger are Australian. Mel Gibson makes GEMS for movies. Everyone see SOUND OF FREEDOM
Actually, Mel Gibson is American. Born in Peekskill, New York. Moved to Australia when he was 12. Has dual citizenship (US & Ireland, but not Australia).
Gibson's character is loosely based on Francis Merion . He ran a hit and run war against the British in the Carolinas . I believe he was called the Swamp Fox ( this part I may or may not be right about ) .
Excellent choice dude. Happy 4th to ya!
Happy Independence Day!!!
I would give this movie a 10 out of 5, even though Mel Gibson is Australian, he truly understands American history better than some who are native to it.
Hope you see, We were Soldiers, Mel Gibson movie. Closest movie about the Vietnam War. Family man in that movie as well. Vietnam War began in 1965 to 1975. 58,000 died, 2 to 3000 left behind.
I actually have that on bluray as well. Plan to watch sometime! Thanks for watching
@@FlixTalk Definitely a lot reactions in that movie !
The final battle was a very loose representaion of The Battle of the Cowpens. It is in comletely different terrain, but the tactics were from Cowpens. It may have been the first time that US forces used a "defense in depth". Lt. Colonel Tarleton was the British attacker. His forces were decimated and routed.
4:39 -- As you can plainly see it wasn't just this idea of Loyalists vs Patriots. Even back then both sides had hawks vs doves. Even if it wasn't call that back then.
Best line in the movie… “What are you going to do with Freedom”
Said by Donal Logue. Such a good actor; I’m used to seeing him in comedy (yes, he had a turn in Law & Order: SVU ) and his sense of timing is great. Wish he had more name recognition!
You know, if he hadn't hesitated to help Gabriel, the Reverend just might have killed Tavington.
That's what I was hoping for!!!! Lol
Love this movie
I had an awesome time watching this man, thanks for the upload
top 10 american war movies.... top 5 mel gibson movies... top 5 lightly based on real events movies
I had a similarly tearful reaction to this epic film. The perfect compaction to this film is the musical "Hamilton" - which you don't need megabucks to see on stage. Listen to the awesome soundtrack! Good work!
Happy 4th of July 🍻😁😁🙃
Happy 4th Kacey! Hope you and your family have fun and stay safe
I’ll bet you anything Mel Gibson didn’t say what you think/were told he said.
If that bayonet was hit enough to cauterize the wound at the end, he likely drowned to death on his own blood. Also if those dogs stuck by him after the war, I guess technically they aren't POWs.
Mel Gibson didn’t say anything that wasn’t true he may have sad it in a mean doesn’t make it not true
No my dear Heath Ledger was from Australia so he was an Aussie like Chris Hemsworth
33:39 always that one coward
Heath ledger was an Australian actor.
The same as Mel Gibson
Copy and pasted comment I leave on all videos where line warfare is depicted.
That style of warfare existed for 300 years for a reason. The generals weren't stupid and it wasn't inefficient, it was the best way to fight. Line formation allowed for easier command and control. Before radios were invented, commanders had to issue orders via instruments and flags (as seen in the movie) and so men needed to be grouped together to be able to hear and see their orders. Line formation also maximized firepower as muskets were inaccurate beyond about 100 metres, so having the men grouped together like that was the best method of inflicting casualties. The men would also be grouped together in square formations to defend against cavalry attacks, as unless trained from birth and their riders are suicidal horses won't charge a prepared infantry square - a solid wall of men and steel. Historically most cavalry charges were done against unprepared enemy forces on their flanks or to run down retreating men (as seen in the movie).
The battle scenes unfortunately leave out the skirmishers. All major European powers had specialist light infantry that used skirmisher tactics (using cover, launching ambushes, specifically targeting officers, etc.). These men used rifles. Rifles are more accurate and have longer range but are more difficult to train soldiers with and also had a higher misfire rate than smoothbore muskets, that's why they weren't issued to the entire army. Skirmishers relied more on accuracy than rate of fire. Things change with the invention of the rifled musket but that's another matter.
The soldiers wore brightly coloured uniforms because the smoke generated by thousands of muskets made identifying friendly and enemy units extremely difficult. A uniform that immediately shouted "I am on your team, don't shoot!" was extremely important. The British wore red and white, the Americans wear blue and white, etc. At the battle of Wagram during the Napoleonic wars between France and Austria, Saxon soldiers fighting for the French get fired on by friendly units because they wore white uniforms like the Austrians.
Heath and Mel are both Australian
Mel Gibson is actually American. I thought the same as you until I was proven wrong 😊
@@scottdarden3091 he was born gear but raised in Australia
19:40, where did i c him before?
It is crazy how spoiled we are and people still think they are deprived of something even when the rich back then aren’t as well off as we are today.
No you're wrong Heath Ledger was Australian look it up but he's not British. Everyone thinks Mel Gibson Australian he was born and raised in your cage and he was like maybe seven or eight and moved to Australia when he was younger
Thanks for the info..I'm usually wrong about a lot. I'm a dumb dumb lol i just love movies
Heath was Australian.
I like how you watch the movie and only comment on certain scenes. A lot of people with movie reaction channels talk too much. Some talk just enough 😂
Thank you!
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

This movie is too upsetting to call at a 4th of July movie. That is just a plain fact I would say independence day is a better 4th of July movie. And how can you have a 4th of July movie with no fireworks...
You do not need to be a historian to care about and know the history of your country if you are American. I do not understand how any American can live life without the desire to learn the truth and history of our country and land.
You shot a teenager in the back. He's 15! You couldn't possibly have taken him down with the grown ass men that were standing around? Pathetic!
15:21 POV, you’re about to experience real American cancel culture.
What doeststs it mean you have the patriot for yearstststt and never watched it....get the ftsttsstst outta here....love your hat though
Do you always stutter when you type?😅
The scene where the black workers are named freed men is facetious, but necessary to make Benjamin palatable to your woke viewers. South Carolina was one of the most racist colonies. Ben's neighbors would not have tolerated him paying freed men to work his fields. They would take that as a threat of inciting a slave revolt. Ben would likely been labled a miscegenist and hung from a tree.
Banastre Tarleton was one of the most evil men in America's fight for independence. He was literally known as The Butcher.
Too many assume the girl Gabriel is marrying is pregnant. Having a wife was the family Gabriel was speaking of. Sad the loss of insight of watching these films through the lens of the present 2023 lack of morals. As hard to imagine as it is, in those days people actually understood that what God gave a young girl has One Gift to give her new husband she had saved as a precious treasured part of herself meant just for him. Something that can only be given away ONCE! People raised their sons and daughters with high moral values, that pre marital relations were not permitted, for good reason. This is what comes from defiling the mind set of 2023 mentality, (Presentism), robbed of innocence, decency and honor. Something generations today have been gravely robbed of that is so special and irreplaceable. But as a reminder in times of temptation and temperance.... The bundling bag.
As far as Mel Gibson saying 'horrendous' things, that was many years ago. How many of us would want moments in time when we said and did 'horrendous' things, but they were in private and not plastered all over the internet world? I have seen over the years God deal with Mel and his heart softened and changed. Only God can do that.
These are scriptures I often have to remind Myself of frequently. I am more guilty than most. Thank God for His Mercy. He loves us too much to leave us where we are, where the enemy has legal authority to attack us. God is all about our freedom.
James 2:13 There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you. For mercy triumphs over judgement.
IfI step into the office of judging as Only Reserved for God, I condemn myself.
Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others.[a] The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
God said He would remember our sins no more. Hebrews 8:12 “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL and GRACIOUS TOWARD THEIR WICKEDNESS, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.”
We CANNOT judge another man. Only God looks on the heart, we cannot.
1 Samuel 16:7 For the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.
I have enough on My plate and too big a beam in my own eye to remove the mote out another mans eye.
Matthew 7:5 First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.
The Patriot is a well made movie and Mel Gibson kills the role. I just want to add that probably the most historically false thing in this movie is the church burning scene. There is no documented event such as civilians being burned in a church by a sadistic British officer that I know of. This was purely a movie decision to make the audience hate Tavington even more than they already did. Still, I like the movie. The score and production design are very well done. My favorite shot in the whole movie is during the last big battle scene where the crane shot shows the effect of a musket volley. The scale is awesome to see.
they didnt have boom microphones or redneck accents in 1776
