I think its showing more how much darkness is in him, its why his daughter refuses to speak to him because she can sense it. Its only once he's fighting for something greater than himself does she begin talking to him again
@@kaiderhai86 he describes how he and his men butchered the French in the previous war, not just killing them but torturing them to scare any French who came across them. But when he comes to term with what he'd done and when his son is killed and he's fighting for vengeance does his daughter begin talking again
Son tells his father "You thought me everything I know about fighting" Father tells his son "Yes, but I didn't teach you everything I know about fighting"
It's called blood rage Tavington already killed one of his sons, and was marching another to be executed. It's when you snap, and primal rage comes out not giving a s*it whether you live or die.
This what war brings out in a man who wants to protect his family. His sons now see that to survive a brutal conflict he had to sacrifice part of his humanity and become a monster so they would never have to.
For those reactions when Martian is going overboard remember he’s a father that’s had his house burned family threatened and a son murdered so he’s definitely pissed off and needs to let loose
Another thing I noticed in this movie in one of my many watch throughs, is that you can hear Benjamin growling like a feral animal with his attacks when he's in hand-to-hand combat. The pain of losing his son to a cold and brutal officer brought out the side he wished his boys to never see. The pain and the anger you hear Benjamin let out as he's hacking the last soldier to pieces is pretty gut-wrenching.
The fighting style he’s using if I recall right is called Appalachian knife fighting using a small knife and a tomahawk. Based off Native fighting techniques that settlers picked up.
Context for those who don’t know::: Mel Gibsons’ character is a kind man who’s seen much death. He’s considered a war hero. He owns a plantation of freed former slaves who gladly work the land because of his kindness. A battle took place on his plantation and he and his family tended to the wounded of Americans and the British soldiers. The British soldiers here, especially the officer at the front, were grateful for his generosity towards their wounded men and were considering alleviation of his actions when another warmongering officer arrived because his oldest son played by Heath Ledger was a spy. That officer ordered the execution of the American wounded and had the house and barn burned to the ground and had the freed slaves taken away. His second son was… too angry at what was occurring and tried to help his older brother but was shot and killed right in front of his entire family. He died in his father’s arms. The father ran into his burning house and opened his old war chest, every musket he could, and took his sons into the woods to cut them off at the pass… This is what took place right before this scene. This is where his sons learned the horrors of the theater of war.
they released his demon from its cage. rest of the film is his battle containing it and salvaging what humanity he has left during his vengeful mission.
Sometimes a veteran becomes a pacifist for a reason. That reason may be that the horrors of war are tremendous. Sometimes that reason is that the veteran is the tremendous horror of war himself, and he doesn't want to let that monster out of its cage.
A fairly recent saying coined by a veteran of our most recent wars speaks to this. Coming home to find that family and friends all had the wrong idea about who he now was and what he had done, he simply said, “I’m not the knight in shining armor you hoped for. I’m the monster you needed.”
The emotions of letting out a part of you and your regrettable past that you never intended your children to see. Now having to bring that out to save them.
He's angry that his son was killed. He's angry that the house was burned. He's angry that he's been forced to bring out a side of him that he'd suppressed for many years and angry that his boys see that. He's angry that these boys will have to follow that same path and see, and participate in, acts of great violence and carnage to protect their family and secure their freedom.
A note on the rifles used in this scene for those that don't know. The British troops were using flintlock muskets which are smoothbore barrels and are rather inaccurate, which is why massed troops firing volleys were the accepted tactics of the day. When 100 men all fire at once in the same direction at the same target some of the shots will still hit their target. American militia made up of farmers and other civilians used flintlock Pennsylvania Long Rifles. Rifling is where you have raised ridges that twist like a swirl as they go from one end of the rifle barrel to the other. Rifling imparts a spin on the bullet when it travels the length of the barrel and exits the muzzle. That spin makes the bullet travel further and more accurately than they do from a smoothbore musket barrel. Each of those firearms were also muzzle loading black powder weapons. A well trained soldier could fire 2 to 4 rounds per minute. Once you fired your shot you would first have to poor a measure of powder down the barrel of your rifle. Then you would have to place the bullet, bullets of the day were round lumps of lead about 1/2 inch in diameter, in the muzzle and push it all the way down with a rod. If you were loading a smoothbore musket you would also use a wad of paper or even a small bit of cloth to fill in the gap between the outside of the bullet and the inside of the rifle barrel. Once the bullet was driven down with your rod you would stow it and then cock the hammer to the half cock position (with flintlock rifles there was a small piece of flint stone used to strike a piece of steel to cause it to spark, that spark would cause the black powder to ignite) and fill the flash pan with a smaller finer type of black powder. Once your flash pan was ready you would then go to full cock on the hammer and you would finally be ready to fire your next shot. Those kids were also shown to have been out hunting early in the movie having brought back wild hare, and squirrels with even some birds. It is very hard to hit a target that small traveling at the speeds they would have been going to try and run away from people out in the wild. Seeing as they brought back enough food to feed the whole family they were rather skilled hunters, and sharp shooting ones at that. Combine that hunting skill with accurate Pennsylvania rifles and those kids were as good as adult snipers of the day.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Minie ball (conical projectile with a hollow base) in usage by this point in time? Or was that a later development?
I always thought that they were Kentucky Long Rifles, but I'm not going to quibble. If I recall correctly, he had specific mold for these Rifles and was shown melting down some of the little toy soldiers to make bullets.
@@staceymalchow4528 As did I until I learned differently. They gained the name "Kentucky Long Rifle" because of their use in the war of 1812 and the song "The Hunters of Kentucky" about Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans. But they were manufactured in Pennsylvania and called Either the Pennsylvania Long Rifle, or The American Long Rifle. Also you are correct in that he made his own bullets. That was a common practice back in the day, and is still used by modern enthusiasts. Using nice soft lead allows for the bullet to deform and fill the gaps of the rifle ridges when it is fired allowing the burning powder to stay behind the bullet until it exits the muzzle giving more of it's power to the bullet, rather than escaping around its sides as would happen in a smoothbore. On a side note, making your own bullets for black powder shooting with a bullet mold is a great way to spend less money on your trip to the range. It does take up more time of course, but if you're willing to spend the time as part of your hobby, it's worth doing.
This shows the extreme brutality of war, especially during that time period. Everything devolved to close combat. To show this up close and bloody was really a part of how brutal both side of the war was. War is still brutal. For those who haven't seen it up close before, it is shocking. Now think about the 22 a day that have seen this. Than a veteran the next time you see them.
Mel with his tomahawk at the end is one of two scenes I've ever seen that really captures what it means to truly unleash yourself from the restraints you've willingly placed upon yourself and how it isn't a switch that can be immediately flipped back off. It takes a minute to get yourself back under control after you've won. The other is in the show Banshee in season 1 episode 3 in the fight with the MMA guy.
These British soldiers would have very little knowledge or training about how to deal with these kind of tactics. Warfare for them was form lines and have "accuracy by volume". Not so much shoot from cover and move a lot.
"Tomahawk" people, tomahawk. Arguably, the best and most versatile edged weapon behind the knife. Utilitarian or war fighting...excellent tool for a plethora of different things.
That's part of it, losing your son. Or daughter or anybody is a tragedy. But you had to remember the British came here. Started making themselves at home. obviously taken over their town. So he was hacking that man up cause of your frustration. Anger, they have a foreigner, come to our country and tell us what to do. And if you didn't do it, you were hung. You had no choice, so this was his moment to let out all his aggression
Going into a murderous rage on a primal level that you aren’t really conscious of…. Is quite the experience. Fortunately this happened to me during military training and I didn’t have a weapon. I was quickly overwhelmed and subdued. The military had no problem with it. Finding out there was a primal side of me was unsettling….. but at the same time; Knowing it’s there, is very comforting.
To all of you out there .. this is war .. yes it’s brutal, that’s why men do it .. not women ( pop corn in bed ) … men have to do things like this to be free and remain free … your welcome…
Women are capable of brutality as well as men. It’s not like women are unaffected by war. Do you propose that women are then relegated to be victims of violence without any means of protection or the need for retaliation? I think most men want to shield women from such brutality, but in the end all of us are products of our environment. I teach my girls not to be blind to the reality of the world we live in and to prepare yourself mentally to survive. Women are not as physically equipped for violence as men, but we are capable of violence. So thanks but no thanks. I choose violence over passive victimization, speaking from experience.

Amazing scene from a technical and narrative perspective. The irony is, though, that the scene gets the phrase “aim small, miss small” wrong. The boys are chanting “aim small, miss small” while aiming for the head, when the phrase is a mantra of snipers reminding them to avoid doing just that. The point of “aim small, miss small” is to remember that, if you am for something small, you’re more likely to miss, so aim for the center mass of the body.
"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;" - Wm. Shakespeare (from Henry V, spoken by King Henry)
Boys grew up much faster then than now. They hunted, fished, trapped and grew to be expert shots at an early age because if you didn't do all these things, you did not eat. All without being called toxic and useless as modern women call them now. I grew up much the same way and I'm 70 years old now. My boys grew up the same way as are my Grandkids and now great grandkids. And guess what? Except for the smaller Grand and Greats, all have married wonderful women and raised their own sons in the same ways.
When this movie came out, there was concern that Revolutionary War films lacked the excitement a war film should have. It's just men lining up in rows and advancing on each other, opening fire with orderly salvos. What's there to watch? But this had Mel Gibson and Roland Emmerich. Problem solved.
Awesome movie. A dad, a true dad, would do anything for his kids. Life was brutal back then. You did what you had to do. Children grew up much faster and better when compared to today's kids. Entitled.
Tomahawk have been used by American solders, even by helicopter crews in Viernam and subsequent conflicts.They were used as weapons and extraction tools in helicopter crashes- period!
Please do Last of The Mohicans next. If people think The Patriot is a good depiction of life in America in those times, wait until they see Last of The Mohicans, which is a much better film in my opinion.
George Washington and his men crossed the Delaware River under the cover of darkness and slaughtered their enemies in their sleep on Christmas Day. Who does that? An American Patriot, that’s who. Never forget that. Merry Christmas 🎄 🙂
The British Officer who had no intension of burning the farm, harming the rebel wounded and thanks the Martin family ends up one of the first dead. The horrible Dragoon officer (Tavington) who murders Gabriel, Thomas, Anne, Her family, the town and enslaves the Martin’s employees is one of the very last to go.
"Aim Small Miss Small"- pick a small piece of your target to hit in case you miss you still hit your target. I.E like a button on a coat or a breastplate
To those that know but to those that don't prior to this a British redcoat killed one of his sons and torched the house thus the fathers revenge and Axe stabbing at the end of this scene
" i cannot unsee that" yeah me neither. Except what i cant unsee is a very real very much uncensored "incident video" at work of a woman literally being folded up by a forklift falling on her. Ive seen some shit, guys leg blown open buy gout, dude blew his brains out on a balcony not 50 feet from me. But that? Thats sticking with me more for some reason.
Watching the same scene a few times back to back took me out of the emotional and into the strategic RPG scenario of it all. If this was a war game, this is what happens when a strong melee unit infiltrates a ranged unit. Unfortunately for the ranged units this time, the melee unit contained an epic hero.
Honestly women don’t really have a clue of how much violence a motivated guy especially a father can project it’s scary if you didn’t know it was possible
I've been alive for 14 years and I haven't seen a more badass clip from what I can remember, but this movie and gladiator are beautiful, I don't know if I'm just used to seeing violence but this didn't disturb me in the slightest, I thought fuck yeah go avenge your son not gasping for air, if Benjamin Martin was a real dude and all this actually happened America would be a lot more patriotic, guerilla warfare and last stands despite this not being a last stand, are always sick as fuck
better a Warrior in a garden than a Gardener in war. unfortunately, they took his civilness as weakness. instead of the plea of a war hardened soldier dealing with PTSD and Knowledge of war.
War is a brutal and personal thing. Particularly in those times, close and merciless. Hatchets were issued in Vietnam and they weren't used to cut trees.
The American Revolution was truly a Revolution in Warfare. Armies used to wear bright colorful uniforms and met each other on designated battlefield trading shots while standing up and crouching only for cover when reloading. The Colonial Army did things differently. Used muted colors, almost like Camouflage and used the rugged terrain for cover and concealment. Stuff that is considered modern Guerrilla tactics.
Yeah the revolutionary was very brutal, mainly because the British considered them in rebellion. They didn’t follow many rules because it was not against what they considered a foreign country. A lot of civilians including women and children were killed and other crimes.

I think the reactions should include the few seconds when he walks back to his sons. Thats the most important part of the scene imo.
When I first saw this movie I really couldn’t understand why he kept chopping that last one. Since then I’ve lost my son. I totally understand now.

Can someone stop him?? Really? Those 304s obviously dont have children. His son was murdered in front of him. I applaud his restraint.

Tomahawk have been used by American solders, even by helicopter crews in Viernam and subsequent conflicts.They were used as weapons and extraction tools in helicopter crashes- period!
New Mexico Army National Guard still equips a combat tomahawk.
Carried tomahawk into Iraq in 2003 & 2005
What he did, when he went in for close contact fighting, is what they called berserk and he would have been a berserker.
I nominate Centane to go directly to the front line in any conflict. Perhaps then she won't be so flippant
Every father should be able to do that to defend his family!

George Washington and his men crossed the Delaware River under the cover of darkness and slaughtered their enemies in their sleep on Christmas Day. Who does that? An American Patriot, that’s who. Never forget that. Merry Christmas 🎄 🙂
That caught me heavy he is agile, he is Mel Gibson he is the road warrior! Bring back tomahawks.
"So, you see boys, THAT'S why I don't like fighting, it's not quite as glamorous and romantic as the stories make it out to be."
Young boys back then, were more man than the 30 year old soy boy almond milk latte drinkers of today.
Please do remember that, no age requirementsfor battle was required in 1775
@1:08 It’s hard to unsee someone dying from a splitting headache.
The British Officer who had no intension of burning the farm, harming the rebel wounded and thanks the Martin family ends up one of the first dead.
The horrible Dragoon officer (Tavington) who murders Gabriel, Thomas, Anne, Her family, the town and enslaves the Martin’s employees is one of the very last to go.
Thank you! It was interesting to see the varied reactions from people world wide.
"Aim Small Miss Small"- pick a small piece of your target to hit in case you miss you still hit your target. I.E like a button on a coat or a breastplate
Mel gibson one of the greatest actor
I love Mel Gibson movies
The extended edition version is even more bloody
Yeah the English they're like Stormtroopers
It's called rage and vengeance!
These reactions are hilarious 😂
God this movie is bloody and brutal.
To those that know but to those that don't prior to this a British redcoat killed one of his sons and torched the house thus the fathers revenge and Axe stabbing at the end of this scene
" i cannot unsee that" yeah me neither. Except what i cant unsee is a very real very much uncensored "incident video" at work of a woman literally being folded up by a forklift falling on her. Ive seen some shit, guys leg blown open buy gout, dude blew his brains out on a balcony not 50 feet from me. But that? Thats sticking with me more for some reason.
Some people just don't understand the extreme's some father's will go to
Great reactions.
Watching the same scene a few times back to back took me out of the emotional and into the strategic RPG scenario of it all. If this was a war game, this is what happens when a strong melee unit infiltrates a ranged unit. Unfortunately for the ranged units this time, the melee unit contained an epic hero.
Honestly women don’t really have a clue of how much violence a motivated guy especially a father can project it’s scary if you didn’t know it was possible
I've been alive for 14 years and I haven't seen a more badass clip from what I can remember, but this movie and gladiator are beautiful, I don't know if I'm just used to seeing violence but this didn't disturb me in the slightest, I thought fuck yeah go avenge your son not gasping for air, if Benjamin Martin was a real dude and all this actually happened America would be a lot more patriotic, guerilla warfare and last stands despite this not being a last stand, are always sick as fuck
That’s anger and Fierceness!
better a Warrior in a garden than a Gardener in war. unfortunately, they took his civilness as weakness. instead of the plea of a war hardened soldier dealing with PTSD and Knowledge of war.
Its called a tomahawk, NOT AN AXE!!!
Its a Tomahawk hatchet not an axe damnit. 😁
Many languages, most in fact, including hers, Swedish, do not make a distinction between axes and hatchets
Would you like a lesson sir, in rules of war? Or perhaps your children would. Lesson? Don't piss off a pacifist
Chanel the rage efficiently through the battle to the end where as you see the focus end this way . 🤨🤷🏼♂️
War is a brutal and personal thing. Particularly in those times, close and merciless. Hatchets were issued in Vietnam and they weren't used to cut trees.
It a Cherokee tomahawk
The American Revolution was truly a Revolution in Warfare. Armies used to wear bright colorful uniforms and met each other on designated battlefield trading shots while standing up and crouching only for cover when reloading. The Colonial Army did things differently. Used muted colors, almost like Camouflage and used the rugged terrain for cover and concealment. Stuff that is considered modern Guerrilla tactics.
If I hear one more stupid reactor call that an axe...
He's riding the ⚡🤬🤷🏼♂️🤫❗🤨
To all the cry babies reacting 🤣🤣🤣, What you think happened in war. That's why we have the 2A so we could defend ourselves.
His son was murdered
He was only trying to save his big brother
berserker rage...
Watch Last Of The Mohicans
We were the insurgents back then! Meeting the brits in a open field was dumb. This was the only kind of war we could fight.
So Katt Williams was wrong, when he said "I don't have one insurgent friend, you can kill all of them"...
So Katt Williams was wrong when he said " I don't have one insurgent friend, you can kill all of them"..
what the heck does aim small miss small even mean?
Pick a small part on your target so that if you miss you still hit your target

Yeah the revolutionary was very brutal, mainly because the British considered them in rebellion. They didn’t follow many rules because it was not against what they considered a foreign country. A lot of civilians including women and children were killed and other crimes.
Looks like the British were right to look on them as savages

I can't watch this movie again because he loses children. Too much.
Never underestimate a Cherokee tomahawk!
