This is one of my favorite parts about watching movie clips on YT. The mish mash of movie characters usually makes for pretty funny comments. This one is no exception
Mel Gibson is often quite intense in his acting and the war scenes in his movies are usually fairly graphic as well. I love that raw, unfiltered element to his style and direction.
There's a lot of emotion to unpack here. The younger kids are having to kill people alongside their father, something they've likely never done before. And then they see their father basically losing it and inflicting far more damage on an individual than necessary, kind of making their father into a monster in their eyes...at least temporarily. Now we all know that the stress that the father was feeling trying to protect his family had reached gothic proportions and that he simply had to let off the stress somehow. It may not be excusable, but it is understandable. War is hell, and it is rarely clean and tidy...
After the way his family got treated, very excusable. Remember they became monsters first. Don't become a monster, unless you are ready for the consequences. A lesson Tavington never learned.

At least he doesn't think he's Ethel Merman. *pans left to Ethel Merman look alike 🎶You'll be swell! You'll be great! Gonna have the whole world on a plate......🎶
This scene is impeccable. I love how there is no music at first, throws you instantly into the ambush. Some of the British soldiers who were sympathetic at the previous house burning scene are killed here. The youngest sons' innocence is shattered, the oldest is seeing a side of his father even he didn't know, a grieving and vengeful father is dealing with the worst thing a parent can suffer. That ending of him taking out his pain on that last solider is so heartbreaking. When he looks up, you can see in Benjamin's eyes he would literally kill for his family, and he did.
One channel on here, shows some clay, like modeling clay ? Idk? Used to show exit wound from various weapons. Well the museum balls had much larger exit wound than most ww1 and ww2 weapons. When you hear about that, you begin to realize why more people died in the Civil War, than all other US conflicts combined!
@@JHOTA5220 You could literally leap from a tree or bush into a squad of armed redcoats, and destroy them one by one, or depending on the animation and timing, you could hit those sweet double kills, and then run back into the woods like a ghost. Connor was a stone cold killer. I love each Assassin for their own reasons, but Connor and Edward was killers. Especially Connor. Very little fancy moves and parries and distance control. Literally just block and counter with a devastating kill shot, then pick the next target, block their strike and deliver another killing blow, rinse and repeat. His movement always seemed to have “bad intentions” as one old boxing coach called it. No fancy sword fighting (which I do enjoy). Just kill shot after kill shot. No light slashes or cuts. Always hunting for their very soul with his blade. Edward was like that as well. Less refined, more brutal than Ezio and even Bayek, both of whom are awesome as well.
@@FirstLast-hs4gw king George the lll was a complete lunatic who was just as cruel to his own subjects, men were forced into the army and navy. Thankfully the British and American forces fight side by side now
Imagine being the kids, confidence building with each made shot only for the veteran in their squad to give up the high ground and solo the rest of the team.
Good thing rifles, aka flintlock rifles, we're not as advanced back then in terms of quick reloading, or Gibson's character wouldn't have had a chance in this scene. This was a borderline berserker scene, and berserkers as history tells us were not the kind of warrior you wanted coming at or after you, especially when they have a home field advantage on the battlefield.
This is one of those scenes you never forget. A man, a father, doing what is necessary, baptized in blood. For his family, for his God, for his country. Beautiful and haunting.
I really don't know how they conquered the world, standing there reloading, firing at a log, reloading, firing at a log, reloading, firing at a tree, looking around confused.
Because this scene (and basically every battle in the film) is a complete fantasy. There was no way to ambush anyone and remain hidden after firing even 1 shot, smokeless powder had yet to be invented, if you fired once eveyone saw were the shot came from. The reality is the English troops in the US were 90% US born, most were young or inexperienced (the experienced troops were deployed to Europe & Asia, along with 95% of the English military, the US was basically an afterthought at this point in history). The irregular warfare that is seen here both sides were equally good at, the US just had more men for it. In pitched battles the British tended to be better but eventually became outnumbered or had a lack of supplies allowing them to be beaten. As for how the English conqured most of the world, remember while the British had advanced guns and field cannons (for the time), most of the places they took over didn't. They also abused their wealth, most places were politically unstable, so they'd find 1 local leader, promise them power and wealth, and help them conquer the area purposely letting the local forces be weakened massively in the act (they'd arm them with inferior weaponry to the actual British forces too, so when they ineviably rebelled, they were outgunned), then to keep power they'd just shift their backing between different locals from time to time keeping them constantly fighting one another and never strong enough to oppose the occupation forces. It was only when those occupation forces united they were sucessful, and usually then the British played smart, and drew them into conflict near larger rivers or the coast and had the navy blow the local army appart with heavy gunfire.
This reminds me of when my Dad would take me to the VFW when i was a kid. He got drunk and told me what he did in Vietnam. Craziest shit i ever heard. Did a full tour and volunteered to go back for a second like a God damn Savage. 😮
1:05 I don't know if this was what the director was intentionally going for, but with guns of this time period it was very common for people to look away right before firing. This was because gunpowder at the time was very messy and they would get it in their face if they didn't look away. So it was uncommon for almost everyone to just look away right before firing. Now most Americans did not do this. They would aim and keep their eyes on the target when shooting even if it meant getting gunpowder residue blown into their face. This lead to them having a much higher accuracy and often having inflicting considerably more casualties on the British even in battles that are officially marked as "British Victories"
To be fair the British being poor shots was somewhat of a meme until 1902. In the Anglo Boer Ear of 1899-1902 the Boers, being excellent hunters and as such very good shots, started taking potshots at advancing Brits at 800-600 meters. Once the Brits got within what they considered acceptable firing range (around 200 meters) they couldn't get fire superiority even with a 3-1 number superiority. If you look at the casualty rates of that conflict it will dazzle your brain: Modderrivier, a British victory 2500 Boers vs 8000 Brits. Casualties? 451 Brits vs 72 Boers.
You are also talking rifles vs muskets. Colonial farmers usually owned rifles, for accuracy. You only get 1 shot when hunting. A military musket had a much higher refire rate, due to smooth bore loading.
@@icecold9511 Good point. Muskets also accepted bayonets, which hunting rifles did not. After that one shot had been fired, the rifleman was vulnerable to a charge. On the other hand, the rifles were much more precise than muskets, so there were pros and cons of each, and the firearms available influenced the tactics of each side.
The very end of that moment, the kids seem shocked by their father. I would’ve been proud of a father that would’ve fought like that for me. But I had a father that was a coward and threw me under the bus every scenario that arose . Every issue we had with a neighbor , or neighbor kid, my father took up their side. He was not a man to be proud of.

Mel was truly fantastic in this movie, while in this scene you could clearly see the pain, heartbreak, pathos, steely eyed determination & rage reflected in his eyes & on his face. He gave an outstanding performance throughout. It would have been cooler & more realistic if Mel's character spoke with an Ulster Irish or Scottish accent as the man whom Benjamin Martin was based upon hailed from Northern Ireland (from the Protestant Scottish areas, therefore, coincidentally, Benjamin Martin was in all likelihood descended from the same Lowland Scottish tribes that followed William Wallace into battle almost 5 centuries earlier!). Irish Warrior!
@@thecheesecakeman It made sense in the context of how war was waged _in Europe_ . Fighting in loose or ad hoc formations simply did not put enough lethal firepower down range to stop the advance of a disciplined and well-organized column. Furthermore, tight formations were vital against defending against cavalry; which still played a pivotal role in battles of the time. However, the terrain and fighting conditions in the America was markedly different than that of Europe. Rough terrain and non-existent infrastructure meant that armies had to move in smaller, more easily picked-off regiments. Something the movie touched on, which was true to real life, was that Americans would generally lose any straight up field battle against the red coats.
