IKR! It's like he's saying, "Oh, for God's sake! Give me a break already!" But when you consider what Cornwallis said to him earlier about his brutality Cornwallis is pretty much right. Tavington brought this all on himself the moment he killed Benjamin's son.
Cornwallis is infuriated as he sees his new wardrobe, his memoires, and perhaps even his dogs getting blown up with their supplies and ammunitions... naive tart: 'Oh fireworks! Lovely!' XD
At that point it was kinda like ..,.WTF ?????? Where is that dickhead with the gin??? Please tell me he was not on the ship getting the guns and ammo!@!!!!!
We Brits love this movie, they try and make us look like absurd, posh, privileged idiots but we love it hahaha this is meme central for us. Bring me the horse blanket!
The best line in this movie is "You look good in that color." It's a *savage* insult to a frenchman, especially in military, in good position, at the time period. He would not be caught *dead* wearing this outside of the necessity of this mission.... and Martin (who notably dislikes the French) went out of his way to compliment his dress while he was wearing it. It's GOLD.
I love the military uniforms from back then. Today, rank is recognized by pins. Back then, you told an officer by the kind of coat they wore, the way the buttons were arranged, the lacing, tassels, the entire uniform was unique.

This scene is apparently based on the incident where Cpt. Allen McLane -- expert scout, raider, courier, and leader of an independent company raised and sustained by himself -- struck British picket lines just outside Philadelphia during the height of the elaborate Mischianza party in honor of Howe's going-away in Spring 1778. McLane dumped a number of incendiary pots and fireworks along the line, just to remind the British officers that Washington's army was still nearby. The lines were lit up, there was a brief alarm and some troops were turned-out, but the grand event continued to its conclusion.
Once the ship exploded, suddenly General Cornwallis demotes Colonel Tavington to Captain, packs him into the time machine and sends him to Somali as Captain Steele. :D
Tavington plays a perfect villain. Pure darkness. The film does portray negatively the British, but the movie is well made. A melodrama around historical events.
The British were barbaric at times in history . So were others at different times . It’s tough to try to live in peace . When those who are living that way become a target , you create a warrior out of most of them . Freedom is certainly worth fighting for. Maga . KAG .
2:40 I was working on my final project in my digital media class, and my computer crashed about half way through losing all my data. Needless to say I was in Tavington’s same position
In all fairness, Tavington was right. The militia were using what we call today guerrilla tactics. The Marquis de Lafayette was practitioner of them. Unfortunately Cornwallis didn't understand and stuck to traditional European warfare tactics that weren't always going to be the best option
Your right most of it wasnt even close, but a few minor points actually happened. The battle Gabriel and Ben watch from that house when the Americans get slaughtered, and later they talk about General Gates fleeing on horseback actually happened ruined the guys military career. He was replaced by General Nathan Greene who had a minor appearance at the end of the movie in the planning of the Battle of Cowpens. He was the General that was talking about the militia lines always breaking.
Thats because its a MO-VIE! Its ment to be entertaining. I dont understand your criticism here. Its a good movie, good story and well written scenes. Good cast! If you want to watch something historically accurate, look up a documentairy. This is a movie: a filmed story, NOT a documentairy! You already name the invalidation of your point in your first words: 'The history in this MOVIE is atrocious".... Erhm, yes, thats because its a MOVIE!!! How historically accurate is Lord of the Rings? Star Wars? Marvel-Superhero Movies? Planet of the Apes???
@@thegreenreaper6660 this is such an utterly bullshit argument. Something can be historically accurate and still entertaining. In fact history is often better than what historical fiction movies portray. I also think that historical movies have a responsibility to do justice to the time period and event they are portraying, which the Patriot does not do. It’s just a propaganda piece. I highly recommend watching Brandon F.’s critique of this film. Or don’t, you’ll probably ignore this
I have never been able to find it again, but there was a line in a political dispatch during the war from a French diplomat to an English diplomat that said-ish "The Americans have an air about them of a people who have never stood in the presence of their betters." Yep...that's us.
Cornwallis is my Grandfather seven generations back. It was mentioned here and there when I was a child.... but only when I was adult did I realize the weight of it. His wife Jemima is the image of my Mother. After the family came to the United States they changed the name to Cornwall. God's truth.
@@bman3794 The mathematical study of genealogy indicates that everyone in the world is descended from Nefertiti and Confucius, and everyone of European ancestry is descended from Muhammad and Charlemagne. The idea that virtually anyone with a European ancestor descends from English royalty seems bizarre, but it accords perfectly with some recent research done by Joseph Chang, a statistician at Yale University. The mathematics of our ancestry is exceedingly complex, because the number of our ancestors increases exponentially, not linearly.
Perhaps he's forgotten that a (used)pitchfork is a dreadful weapon in combat? The long pins can easily penetrate through a body, even lighter armor. The remains that stick to the pins, are left in the wound, causing infections that are even more lethal then the wounds itself! If you have to choose between a pitchfork or a bajonet, i'd prefer the pitchfork! Also, Farmers use those pitchforks, all day long; they KNOw how to wield one! Probably better then the average soldier can wield a Bajonet! Typical aristrocratic arrogance: 'But we all dress up só fancy, and this is só expensive,so we MUST be superior'....

I noticed that too.. he was probably standing thinking "Here we go.. it is all going to be my fault again."
I done finished my drink like that on several occasions. The last “fk it” swig😅
"You created this ghost colonel." In that statement, Cornwallis was 100% correct.
Kinda more like he resurrected the ghost. He already existed in the French-Indian War which is where he learned everything.

He gulped that drink down because he wanted a scotch at that point.

Yes sir
he threw it down so hard it shattered on grass
“Fine soldier you are bested by a bedtime story”. The burn in that line!

Old school burn 😂
