The Patriot

Amazing what they let slip through in movies. Some is so blatantly obvious.

I have it on video and dvd,best part of the movie is the revenge scene where the young boys help Dad get their brother back. I love the shooting and loading.

How many have seen 'Revolution' with Al Pacino and Donald Sutherland? A lot of inaccuracies, but still an interesting movie.

Great scene. The looks on the children's faces, when they see what their father is capable of was well done.

Old thread, but I'll pitch in. Hated it the first time I watched. But, then I was picking out the innaccuracies and not watching the whole story. Second time, much better. The movie did tell a lot more about the realities of the Rev. War than, I'm sure, most viewers picked up on. Particularly the vanity and greed of the officers. And the total lack of regard on the part of the officers for the lives of the enlisted men. The fight scene at the end was pure Hollywood. e.g. 'hero almost killed then dramatically comes back to kill the villan'. Hokey but I loved it. On the whole, I'm a big fan of the movie and put it right up there with Red Dawn as one of my all time favorites.

Baker was the "instructor" for both movies. Mel was impressed by Mark so much he used Mark's saying "aim small, miss small" in the movie.
