Never gets old watching this movie. Entertaining and authentic. I wonder if the Bunker Hill movie with Ben Affleck was ever reconsidered? Been fun to see Gibson do another American Revolution movie of some sorts.
Entertaining, yes. Authentic, not really. The militia is shown shooting far more accurately than their training would allow, the weapons (especially pistols) are far more accurate than they really were, there are numerous uniform and naval anachronisms, British tactics are incorrect (at least some would have been able to return fire in the ambushes, and they would not have raced across hundreds of yards of open ground in a bayonet charge), and militia tactics are incorrect (the crossfires would never have happened due to risk of hitting their own men).
@@Visplightyour kidding right? The british cavalry trooper is literally based on a real officer and all the incidents happened including the massacre of the wounded......but yeah lets go with "decent". And martin is a conglomeration of revolution commanders here
Thing is Gabriel had been in the Continental army for 2 years I believe, he thought by then he knew it all. But by learning all those rules, marching, and signals he had no idea how to actually fighting a guerilla campaign which is vastly different compared to meeting your enemy on field.
You stagger men in groups , each group is directing fire towards the enemy, but their position relative to the other groups means friendly fire is highly unlikely
@@bluezac2021 no, that’s just what the perspective of the camera shot makes it look like, but staggering men in groups like that is how ambushes have been done since…Greco-Roman times? Standard procedure

Disney did a TV series in the 1950s- "Swamp Fox" I think, and I think Leslie Nielsen was Marion. Also, Benjamin Martin is based on three other figures as well.
It has been said that Colonel Martin's character was based on General Francis Marion, the father of guerrilla warfare, and after reading a book on the General I agree, in fact his archrival in the British Army Colonel Bastion Tarleton, whom Colonel Tavington was based off of once said "as for the damned old fox, the devil his self couldn't catch him"! When your enemy admits defeat you know you've succeeded.
Those were some real men back then. Willing to leave home, leave their farms and livelihoods lying unworked, and risk their lives not for money, but for their ideals. Their belief in independence and freedom from British tyranny. We could use brave and selfless men like that today.
Can anyone tell me where the scene where Mel Gibson's character says, "A dog is a fine meal." , occurred ? I would love to be able to show it to someone.
You are correct, it's not particularly accurate to the true events. It is historically authentic though, it really looks like it takes place in 1770s South Carolina. And it is a very good movie.
Not EVERY movie about past events needs to be 100% historically accurate. It is a movie for ENTERTAINMENT The only time I would get annoyed about historical inaccuracies is if the people responsible for the movie came out and said “we tried to make this as accurate as possible” but fumbled basically everything
It must have been exciting and scary to be in the colonies at this time. I often wonder what my ancestors thought during this time when they served. All of my ancestors survived to see America after the Revolution for many years.
In theater they someone called a “dramaturg”. Their job is to become an expert on the period; language, costumes, history, politics, hair, weapons, tactics, etc. They advise all others in their craft. I’m sure that Gibson has a good one.
Peter Woodward, who portrayed Charles O’Hara, is a graduate of the British Academy of Dramatic Combat. He even had a show on the History Channel about warfare of the past.
That was the first time in Ockham’s life that he was treated like a regular human being. Whether he was born into a family of slaves or kidnapped in Africa, he never knew fairness. It immediately sparked fear, particularly fear of being punished (for not “knowing his place”). It took him several seconds to realize that he was doing nothing wrong by simply acting as a man with free-will.
Well,it was a fictional story. I bet you complain that "They Died With their Boots On" wasn't a historically accurate depiction of Custer's Last Stand.
It's still entertaining though it does depict fictionalized accounts of the brutality faced by American colonists trying to either win a seat in Parliament for representation or to break free & start a new country separate from England.@@youwayo

I love how he melts down the toy soldiers from his murdered son to make bullets. Reinforces the reason to be there in the first place, he never wanted this, now he is there its for his son.
I saw Mr. Gibson salute My Pres. Trump at a CPAC couple of yrs ago....right after I did at a Sean Hannity Townhall in July 2021 Edinburg, Texas. One of the damn proudest moments of my God given life.
Love me some Jason Isaacs. He does some comedy roles too that are pretty fun! His character in The Patriot, Col Tavington, was a really bad dude. Insipred by Banastre Tarleton. An infamous or famous British General depending on who you ask. Some of his tactics earned him the nickname Bloody Butcher if I recall. Unlike the events portrayed in the film, Tarleton survived the American Revolution and ultimately retired and settled back in England returning as a war hero.
Okay film, just gotta remember a bit of creative license that happens in terms of historical accuracy. Don't think its as egregious as 'Brave heart' cause oh boy that ones got some big inaccuracy's most obvious example being that the French princess would have been a child of about 7 when the Brave heart was said to be set in. My only gripe with the ambushes would be the one with parallel line on either side of the convoy, which seems wildly dangerous, I mean even you're using a rifle rather musket, do you still want to have half your force in direct line of the fire of the other half. Use an L shaped ambush, you get overlapping fire lines and minimal of firing musket/rifle shoot into a friendly across from you. I know its just a film, and you've got to suspend a bit of belief, but this just irked me. Also full disclaimer I have never been in combat or a member of an armed service, just seemed like a strange set up for that one.
I thought the words ''accuracy'' and ''precision'' were already related enough to be used in the same sentence. Then again in the case of 18th century muskets neither word hold significant meaning beyond around 80 yards, with quality/ quantity of powder and wind playing the most signifiact part.
They're related but different. Being accurate is hitting close to your target. Being precise is hitting close to your other shots. You can be one but not the other. Being precise and not accurate means you'll miss, but you'll miss in the same spot. Being accurate and not precise means your target will be in the middle of your shots, but your shots are scattered around it. If you're aiming at a man's chest, an inaccurate but precise shooter might keep hitting him in the same shoulder (maybe the sight of the gun is bad). An imprecise but accurate shooter might hit him in the chest, but if he shot 5 times he might just hit him in a circle around where he was aiming (maybe he has good aim but can't hold the gun perfectly steady).

I love how he melts down the toy soldiers from his murdered son to make bullets. Reinforces the reason to be there in the first place, he never wanted this, now he is there its for his son.
4:24 never could understand about this scene was why the British did not have patrols out on the wings of the formation.
because then it would be so easy for the americans
Somone once told me, the hand of GOD moves in strange ways.
Imagine a Zack Snyder American revolution movie like 300
I saw Mr. Gibson salute My Pres. Trump at a CPAC couple of yrs ago....right after I did at a Sean Hannity Townhall in July 2021 Edinburg, Texas. One of the damn proudest moments of my God given life.
Ew, gross.
Salute a man trying to overthrow democracy. The least hypocritical conservative ladies and gentleman!
Wasn’t that big a deal.
Brilliant film. Factually questionable but still. A good period piece. They dont make them like this no more.
I love this ridiculous campy movie
It must be a nice for jason Isaacs to get to play a good guy for a change
Have you SEEN this movie!? He's the one that ordered the church full of townspeople burned down!

the most absurd inaccuracy in the movie
Love me some Jason Isaacs. He does some comedy roles too that are pretty fun! His character in The Patriot, Col Tavington, was a really bad dude. Insipred by Banastre Tarleton. An infamous or famous British General depending on who you ask. Some of his tactics earned him the nickname Bloody Butcher if I recall. Unlike the events portrayed in the film, Tarleton survived the American Revolution and ultimately retired and settled back in England returning as a war hero.
Great film
We came to the right place :D
Okay film, just gotta remember a bit of creative license that happens in terms of historical accuracy. Don't think its as egregious as 'Brave heart' cause oh boy that ones got some big inaccuracy's most obvious example being that the French princess would have been a child of about 7 when the Brave heart was said to be set in. My only gripe with the ambushes would be the one with parallel line on either side of the convoy, which seems wildly dangerous, I mean even you're using a rifle rather musket, do you still want to have half your force in direct line of the fire of the other half. Use an L shaped ambush, you get overlapping fire lines and minimal of firing musket/rifle shoot into a friendly across from you. I know its just a film, and you've got to suspend a bit of belief, but this just irked me. Also full disclaimer I have never been in combat or a member of an armed service, just seemed like a strange set up for that one.
I thought the words ''accuracy'' and ''precision'' were already related enough to be used in the same sentence. Then again in the case of 18th century muskets neither word hold significant meaning beyond around 80 yards, with quality/ quantity of powder and wind playing the most signifiact part.
They're related but different. Being accurate is hitting close to your target. Being precise is hitting close to your other shots. You can be one but not the other. Being precise and not accurate means you'll miss, but you'll miss in the same spot. Being accurate and not precise means your target will be in the middle of your shots, but your shots are scattered around it.
If you're aiming at a man's chest, an inaccurate but precise shooter might keep hitting him in the same shoulder (maybe the sight of the gun is bad). An imprecise but accurate shooter might hit him in the chest, but if he shot 5 times he might just hit him in a circle around where he was aiming (maybe he has good aim but can't hold the gun perfectly steady).
Nice explanation. Cheers mate.@@jcarson3721
How did he defuse the situation?
WE WON GOD SAVE THE KING
One of the best movies made along w Last of the Mohicans
That film was cinematically impressive, but I loathe it for horribly deviating from the novel.
