I had the pleasure of seeing the late great Rene Auberjonois (the reverend) a few years before he passed. He was a hell of actor! RIP
Agreed. I sometimes feel that he doesn't get enough for his work.
They must be watching an extended version of this movie or something because a couple clips are ones that I don't have in my copy of the movie.
US ARMY combat veteran here. If there’s any one constant in war, it’s that innocents will be slain. The fact anyone would be surprised at that truly baffles me.
We unfortunately live in a world where the weak-hearted and weak-minded feel it necessary to give their input on conflicts they have no concept of understanding for..
This movie is loosely based on Francis Marion. He was the first person in that time period to use guerilla warfare tactics. The british fought in lines because they wer trying to civilize war, but he would ambush from the forrests and swamps. Thats how he got his nickname "Swamp Fox"
And he's still known in SC as the swamp fox my BSA district is the Swamp Fox District.
The British were trying to civilize war? & not because companies of stressed out guys with ½ a minute loading muskets, won't hit shit..
He was definitely not the first. Light infantry tactics had been used by every European army for almost a century before the American Revolution and the British also used these tactics alot (Not trying to argue just wanted to mention that)
I love Florence South Carolina
They stood in formation because muskets at the time were very inaccurate because they were not supposed to be they never had rear sights, the orders would be; Make ready! Present! Fire! If I remember correctly you were considered a good shot in the British army if you can make five hits on a 3ft target at 100 yards
Love all Mel movies! Read about Thomas Paine. He wrote a pamphlet called Common Sense, he was considered a founding father. He was captured, and just before he died, said a world famous line before hanging...I regret I have but 1 life to give for my country. He was 21 or 25, when he was hung.
I'm afraid you are confusing Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense" with Nathan Hale, a schoolteacher turned spy.
@@vivianbrody510 or was it Patrick Henry, who said the line?
No. Patrick Henry said, "Give me Liberty or give me death."@@philmullineaux5405
who cares, it is just a movie:)@@philmullineaux5405
The Patriot A veritable masterpiece within its genre of revolutionary war films. True to the prevailing attitudes and sentiments of the time, notably the conflict between American patriots and British loyalists, it is loosely based on the actual conflict between the Swamp Fox, Francis Marion, and his antagonist, Banastre Tarleton. With his great expertise in guerrilla warfare developed in the French and Indian War on behalf of the Crown, Marion eluded and befuddled Tarleton, who had indeed established a reputation for brutality nearly matching that of Tavington, who filled his role in the movie.
12:20 I've never seen Viki cry like that during a reaction 😢
Mel Gibson is really a masterful actor portraying feelings of hurt
A nasty divorce can do that to a man.
@@gumshoe2273
Got to draw rage from somewhere.
I know the woods by childhood home like the back of my hand. Grew up playing and catching frogs and turtles there. I could run blindfolded through them.
His expierances in the French and Indian wars are a serious haunting on his soul. Many vets can agree.
The reason they fought in formations like that during those times was because it was the only way for them to control large armies. The invention of the musket made it possible to pull someone off the street and make them an effective soldier with minimal training. This allowed armies to easily grow their forces to sizes never seen before, but created another problem: massive forces like that would quickly descend into chaos if not strictly controlled. So they set them up in formations and used drums and flags to send commands. Believe it or not, even with how slow and lumbering they seem, these types of forces were the height of military prowess at the time and would absolutely decimate smaller forces. Only the invention of modern electronic communications were we able to control large forces without having to resort to these tactics.
That and the fact you can't hit bugger all with a musket at range so having a huge line helps ensure a hit
I’m positive that this was the role that got Jason Issacs cast as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
Once they fire off a shot, it took them at least 15 to 20 seconds to reload and fire again.
It’s honestly scary to think of how it was. Those 15 - 20 seconds is still a pretty long time to be defenseless on the battlefield. Even now, regardless of how much our weapons have evolved.
That was only if the long gun was a smooth bore and not a rifle. You were lucky to get more than 2 shots out of a rifle. After 4 or 5 shots the rifling would get so clogged with black powder residue that you had to clean the barrel. Smoothbore muskets were accurate out to 50 to 75 yards, which is why soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder and fired in volleys in the hope they'd hit something. In the American Revolution and through the Mexican War, the bayonet was queen of the battlefield. I own an exact reproduction of a Brown Bess Musket and an exact duplicate of a Pennsylvania Long Rifle. I have fired both numerous times, so I speak from experience.
You can be expected to fir 4 shots a minute, with a good soldier. There are videos of reenactors performing the drill up to this speed.
@@Gravelgratious Not with a rifle. You can do it with a smooth bore musket.
One of my favorite movies!! Mel is a Legend.
"You have done nothing for which you should be ashamed."
"I have done nothing. And for that I am ashamed."
Great emotional war film with a nice performance from Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger
When we look at the side of the story portraying the loss suffered, I belive it's important for American History to realize that at least a dozen of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence lost everything up to but not limited to their property & families and most of the others didn't live long enough to see end result of what they had signed themselves up for.
Hi Ladies🎄Your in for a treat💕Enjoy and have a Nice Day ✨
@16:30 “The real face of the war.” So true.
This was a really good movie. Great reaction!
You guys should try watching Enemy Mine. It's so underrated.
From jet fighters to flintlock rifles. The pendulum is a swingin’.
He wouldn't have said "8 of the 13 colonies."
He would have said "8 of the 26 colonies."
The number 13 wasn't established until after the war
There were colonies in Canada and the Caribbean that we tried to get to join us.
This Movie was the first serious movie Heath Ledger starred in that variously him on the path to getting the role of The Joker in Dark Knight Movie.
I love The Patriot, especially Mel Gibsons performance. The scene where Mel goes crazy over the death of his son gets me every time. This movie is definitely the best movie by Roland Emmerich. The Patriot might just be the best Hollywood movie we have about the American Revolution. But I think it couldve been better.
Definitely right on the Emmerich part.
That first full up battle was Camden. One of my ancestors, a Yankee, was killed there.
12:31 🤣 good one
Upon seeing the soldiers floating down the river...
Vicki / Lia: "OMG this is disgusting"... "no no no no no".
Me: "Man, this is going to taint the water supply...
Yassss!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to watch this one! I still hope you both watched top gun Maverick, but it was a long time waiting for you. You all to do this one and I hope Ellie and Michelle do it next =D
I really love all the Homies reactions. Each one of you brings a different way of responding to the movies you watch.
Leah you are the more stoic of the group. You are usually very calm and collected, yet inside you are raging with emotion. You are very good at predicting the next scene, yet you remain quiet when you are not sure. You are really a very beautiful young lady (I'm sure you've heard this many times) and I enjoy watching you.
Vicki you express you emotions openly. I love it when you yell at the characters in the movies you watch. You and Leah make the perfect pair for these movie reactions. (Note: Ellie and Michelle are a perfect reaction couple as well).
What amazes me about all of you is how beautiful you are without a pound of makeup on.
Gran trabajo 👌
Guns were extremely inaccurate and that's why they line up to shoot. It's madness I know. The worst part is when cannonballs are fired near you. They instantly dismembered whatever they struck.
They are brutal and I'm glad the movie actually showed that instead of just having them explode and send people flying but they could have also shown canister shot which would have been cool to watch
Not true. I have one of these rifles, it shoots plenty straight.
They shoot as a group to be more effective.
This is close to my home 😃
30:48 30:52 One of our captured officers my Lord 😅😅
Niceee! Haven't see but I know what it's about. Mel is top class😁
Hits a little different for people who have actually experienced some of these aspects of war.
And The Rockets Red Glare, The Bombs Bursting In The Air Gave Proof Through The Night That Our Flag Was Still There. The Rockets are Glare being the firing from the guns on both sides.
Prime Mel Gibson. Should also check out Apocalypto by Mel. Hugely underated
And passion of the Christ
Critics called Apocalypto a masterpiece. It was just hated by lazy people that couldn't be bothered to read subtitles
Wow
Mel gibson
Is the Real
Rick grimes
Ustedes son geniales
It’s the Joker 🤣👀
Great movie for Independence Day
Hello beautiful homies, stay safe and God bless always, advance merry Christmas, following with love from the Phillipines
Yep you used to ask permission to write a woman. Just to write her. Now by the time she’s 25 she’s been with 50 guys and she’s on only fans what an honor.
Viki, I am a 'Distinguished Expert' shot with both a rifle and a pistol - just saying 🙂
Also, my ancestors fought with the Louisiana Militia against the British in 1775. That is why I am a Patriot until the Lord decides to Call me.
12:09 "don't do it!" -lia 😮
12:32 "you son-of-a-bitch! burn in hell!" -viki 😡😭
13:53 "kill them all." -viki
The British said if it wasn't for the black Robe brigade aka the churches the British would have won
When u ladies cry, we love u deeper ❤❤
What a simp 😅😅😅😅
Viki, I love how long your hair is. I hope you keep it that way forever. It is so nice.
The US revolution was not bloodless. Luck and more luck led us to victory!!!!
So Good
You all should do a reaction to, "Enemy at the Gates".
The bad colonel is the captain in blackhawk down and Fury!
8:05 “- 😈 All warfare is a great deception.”
8:22 😊😊😊
There reaction to Martin hacking the British soldier to death with the tomahawk is why women make horrible serial killers.
Good one, Ladies! 🙂
I can throw a tomahawk ….but ive only thrown them for recreation.
Bellísima
♥️♥️♥️
Do Gettysburg 1993 if possible. Thanks for the Video. Enjoy your reactions.
21:25 “May I have permission to RIDE Anne?” 😮
25:15 “I’ve come to CRAWL on Anne.” 😅😅
Please watch *THE MAZE RUNNER* trilogy!
Calidad y belleza
You guys should react to legends of the fall, young guns 1 and 2, I dreamed of africa
Oohh
The saddest part is a lot of people are begging for this to happen again and have no idea what they are wishing for.
Excelente
I wanna see Viki's entire hat collection.
Coming soon....
When tyranny becomes law
Rebellion becomes duty....

The Cavalry Colonel was actually based on Banastere Tarleyton..ua-cam.com/video/IKLszX11jPs/v-deo.html
Bueno
RoboCop 1987 reaction?
The British Colonel Tavington is loosely based on the real Colonel Banastre Tarleton. Tarleton was a savage, reckless, but very brave commander of the British Legion Cavalry. He is best known for sending a flag of truce with an offer of surrender then slaughtering 113 American. This act enraged the Patriots who later defeated Tarleton at the Battle of Cowpens. Nathaniel Greene led the Americans to victory there, not the Swamp Fox. That battle is seen in the movie when Conwallis is finally defeated. In the Battle of Cowpens Tarleton left 86% of his troops dead, wounded, or captured. In the final Battle of Yorktown Cornwallis is defeated with the assistance of the French Fleet. After the battle, the Americans gave a dinner and invited all the British officers with the exception of Tarleton. Tarleton returned to England, served in government and opposed the abolitionist movement to the day he died.
One of my biggest objections to this movie is the burning in the church of the towns people. No such thing was ever recorded in history. While there were brutal British officers they did not behave as the Nazis did 160 years later.
I am so familiar with the battles in the Carolinas because I taught North Carolina history for 20 years and all the battles I mentioned are within a 3 hour drive of my house. The site of the Battle of Gilford Court House is about 30 minutes from where I live.
Se aplazo el editor.
Tavington is right up there among the biggest pieces of shit in movie history, Jason Isaacs did an amazing job with that character.
i have a hard time watching him in anything else after his performance in this film...dunno why....i know hes an actor, but he was such a believable asshole in this film...it stuck with me, he must really be this way...even though i'm sure he must be a pleasant dude.
The real guy wasn't like he's portrayed
one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies, and what can we say about Jason Isaacs with the role of the villain, he makes himself hated from the first moment, great performance👍👍
Como
Officers were easily identified because they wore brass breast plates around their necks. American sharpshooters used to aim for the brest plates. It was quite common for British officers leaving for the colonies to write their last will and testament before they left.
I think officers did that just because they were going to war and not because of light infantry
Buena peli
My grandparents generations had 11,10,8 and 7 kids. They were born in the early 1900's. 1914,1919,1926 and 1928. The 2 born in the 20's saw a new century the ones born in the teens died in 1995 and 1998. Things have changed since then.
Ladies where are you all from?
Exelente
Genial chicas
Genial 👍
This movie is loosely based on the American Revolutionary War.
Much like the movie Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on actual historical events.
Relevante
Genial 👌👍
Genial
Oh you think that's "cute" do ya?
I'll have you know that being getting laid in 1776 required months of betrothal and courtship under the prying eyes of the puritan protestant 2nd reformed church of the time. A dowry was custom as well so you do get something on the back end. Not to mention getting some back end amaright?
Vicki you’re so adorable don’t cry
The idea in war is you have to break the spirit of the enemy not just defeat, the army, so sometimes the innocent die when that happens, they get upset just like you and they lose the stomach for continued fighting. That’s the idea behind it. It’s called total war . War is ugly its only value is in victory.
Luv u Lia💗
Someone wisely said, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." The truth is many American colonialists were loyal to the British king and reluctantly sought independence from Great Britain after years of unjust treatment knowing a brutal war would result. Read the American Declaration of Independence that outlines those grievances. Mel Gibson's character was a veteran of war and, therefore, like most Soldiers the most reluctant for war. All tyrants whether they are Adolph Hitler, Vlad Putin or the British King George by nature crave power and have little regard for human lives except their own. They gain and maintain power through fear and the demonstrated threat of violence. Contrary to the pervasive perception that Americans love war, most Americans abhor war while recognizing the only way to ensure they and any other people can live freely and peacefully is the overwhelming use of violent force against evil. Watching a sheepdog battling a wolf threatening the sheep, it is very hard to tell the difference between the two. The wolf comes to destroy the sheep while the sheepdog violently protects the sheep. In the same way and certainly not perfect, the American military fought many wars to destroy tyranny so that other freedom loving people can live free like Americans. The past 70 years of peace including the fall of the Soviet Union and communist tyranny in Europe were only possible as American Soldiers, over 300,000 Americans during the height of the Cold War, sacrificed time with their families and if need be their lives defending Europeans against tyranny like the kind on display in Ukraine and Israel on October 7. This is why countries like Bulgaria are free today.
We stupidly learned how to fight our armies like the countries in Europ had done for generations. Considering how we battle today, this really does look insane. We soon started learning tactics from the Natives in this part of the world. The British though of it as 'cheating' as we stopped standing in rows to be targets.

It’s a pity that no one makes a reaction to the cartoon masterpiece: leafie a hen into the wild
Lia so beautiful
Viki: I don't understand why they kill civilians.
Me: what are you talking about, girl? The film tells about the events of the 18th century. The Geneva Convention, which prohibits everything that Colonel Tavington does in this film, has not yet been invented. This means that the executions of prisoners, torture, arson, rape and other "delights" of the war fit perfectly into the historical context. Then it was commonplace. Actually, nothing has changed now. Look at the war in Ukraine.
Muy bellas las chicas
The British are amazing ppl omg such class
😮still mind blowing that humans use to stand and tank bullets like meat shields. Meanwhile they did other terrible things when they weren't in battle. Smh
