The actor who plays lord Cornwallis sadly passed away today. RIP Tom Wilkinson 🇬🇧
A damn fine actor.
Damn fine indeed
This was the first movie i remember seeing him in and he's always been one of the most memorable actors in this film. He plays such a good Cornwallis. RIP
what??? NOOOOO !!!!
Sad. Full Monty team member.
This meeting is being held because of Tavington. It is all Tavingtons fault. Damn him! Damn that man!
Well his family squandered the family fortune, now he’s double damned!!
My Lord, if we re-form and wheel right, we may be able to turn their flank
@@theunraveleryou dream, general….
Send the entire batallion over that hill and crush them!
But Cornwallis allows Tavington to resume his brutal tactics.
I just love the politeness of the both officers during the negotiations
Candor and decorum
If this movie had been made today they would have been constantly insulting each other and there also might've been a fistfight. Benjamin Martin would probably also have been played by a women and she would have the most smug attitude imaginable combined with no facial expression at all. She also wouldn't have returned the british officers belongings.
That is British at it's best 😂
@tranquilthoughts7233 They'd not stop at changing his gender. They'd also make him black and crippled.
*She'd* definitely say something like: "We don't need kangs n' sheet" just before killing the evil, straight, white, imperial Col. Tavington
Well he was an officer in the English Colonial Army during the Seven Years War, so I'm sure he learned a great deal about polite decorum
I love how they walk in on him admiring the rocking chair after he failed to make his own
Yes, I've always thought there's some great unspoken acting with just how they all react to that situation, Cornwallis is like get a loada this guy, OHara is bewildered, and Martin is half embarrassed being caught being weird.
Little things like this create the character and help us get emotionally invested.
@@raleighsanford5111 Just like the end of this video, where he is gently motioning to the dogs as if saying "Uhhh, don't follow...please don't follow!"
I've always wondered if it's that hard to make a rocking chair lol
@jacobpeters5458 Physical appearance, no.
Structurally, yes.
What Benjamin kept messing up was the wood being used and how thin and lightweight it was as a result. This chair is an example of improvements he could and should make. With slightly thicker and hardier wood, he'll be successful.
They refuse to give their names, but their ranks are 9 lieutenants, 5 captains, 3 majors and one very fat colonel who called me a...cheeky fellow." Best line of the entire movie. Perfect delivery.
No, the best line in the movie is, "Poppa don't go! I'l say anything you want!" I cry every time.
@odysseusrex5908 I cannot disagree with that. That line has me in tears as well. I would say it is even for best line.
And it’s only 17 officers 🤓
@@teeheeteeheeish ??? 9+5+3+1=18
Remember Martin also a former British officer during the French and Indian war.
Its amazing how Ben Franklin managed to perform his duties to the Continental Congress while simultaneously masquerading as Lord General Cornwallis.
De jour comme de nuit il s'active
@@mpnavertissement3674 parley voo English? I dont speak retreat.
Well, I did read somewhere that Franklin was thought to have been a double agent. Understanding the Colonies had a real chance to win, or that the King would reward anyone that helped get them back in line.
He’s a talented actor
plus telling Bruce Wayne he don't understand desperate
RIP Tom Wilkinson a British legend in the 90s and early 2000s he also held his own strongly in this scene with Mel Gibson.
He will be missed he was fantastic in rush hour and batman begins
Wilkinson was a superb actor.
Gibson a bigot. An appalling actor, no better than Cruise. Gibson can only ‘thrive’ in a role with the perceived moral upperhand.
Whatever the history, Gibson fails to serve it. Just like in the Braveheart nonsense.
Tom Wilkinson....RIP. This man played Ben Franklin AND Lord Cornwallis. What a legend.
Batman Begins foo!
And played Wehrmacht Generaloberst Friedrich Fromm. Commander in Chief of the Replacement Army
Played both sides of the Conflict, what a chad!
Also, the John Adams Mini Series was damn good!
@@pieceofschmidtgamer The John Adams Series is my favorite mini-series of all time. What an absolute masterpiece.
"and one very fat colonel who called me a...cheeky fellow." That line always gets to me. 😄
This is where the ruse would fell appart. Cornwallis would know the names, faces and tons of trivia about EVERY single one of his Colonels, and a lot of Majors.
Martin would have to either know a colonel who he knew was killed but Cornwallis assumed captured, and ve able to describe that man perfectly, or he would be found out lying.
One of the BEST lines in the movie by far! The way he says it is perfect.
@@michalsoukup1021your knowledge of the subject is humbling sir.
@@michalsoukup1021 Unless he actually did have those men as prisoners. And just didn't want to release them...
@@Spacegoat92 that could work, still plenty opportunity for it to go wrong though

One of the better scenes out of the movie as he's checking out the furniture and the dogs leave with him.
Looking for tips on chair construction
Making a good rocking chair can be tricky...
@@tharengore7215 yeah I remember. It can be a pain in the butt
As a woodworker, there's a reason I do not make chairs lol. That stuff is sorcery ha
@@justaguy328you said it man
He hasn’t thought about his friend in the DA’s office, or his old butler- BANG! Now that’s power you can’t buy.
Lol, you made my day better.
And Youse always fear what you don't understand.
@@mrmoralman1 I know you’re not scared of *me,* Mr. Moralman 1, but when *he* comes here, he’s going to want to know what you’ve been doing with your commenting time…
Ha! Took me a second........
Can't believe Wilkinson took that role, as a sleazy crime boss, even though Nolan was directing it. It was a bit part.🤷♂️
@@johndanielsforJesus A pivotal part.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how freaking beautiful those Great Danes are?
Scooby Rooby Roooooo
@@AdLangho Good sir, this comment made my evening... thank you.
They are very beautiful. 100% agree.
A gift from his Majesty.
I love it when he whistles for them and the run after him. The final insult.
This movie has some of the best dialogue ever, sharply comedic
"oooh fireworks 💥 ⛵"
And all a load of bullshit
As much as I love the scene, I always thought it would’ve been funny if they underestimated the distance and Cornwallis turned and said something to the effect of, “Are those… scarecrows?”
just have to use yours and look from where it becomes blurry and set it up there. Then hand him yours to make sure he doesn't use a better one that might see better.
@@beenieweenie1986 Except he used Cornwallis's from off his desk.
@@beenieweenie1986 Unless you have a captured British telescope and know how well he can see with his.
Best part was when he called for the dogs and they gladly ran after him before the gates closed. Animals know who treats them better.
@@brianwaas1142 He thrashed the americans so many times and only lost to the french.
@@brianwaas1142 Never lost a battle to them. Beat them at germantown, brandywine and guildford courthouse with less men. It was only due to being cut off by the french and having a french army around them that he gave up. But you wont see in the patriot that over half of the army at yorktown was french and none of them wore the tricolor because the french revolution wouldnt happen for another 8 years.
I think the best part is when he jabs the Dragoon in the neck saying "my sons were better men".
Dogs only commit to real people u could offer a steak to my dogs and they would look at u like hey stupid
We can thank Ben Franklin for getting the French to assist with the blockade
My favorite part to this whole thing was when he was checking out the rocking chair thinking to himself “Where the hell do I fuck up that mine don’t stay together?”
Its also a metaphor on how life will not simply let him sit down and relax in peace. He is an excellent warrior, but a shoddy craftsman.
RIP Tom Wilkinson, such a fine performance. Cornwallis was actually held in esteem when I grew up learning about the American Revolution in school.
Many British generals were respected since they were basically fighting against their own people.
I love how General Cornwallis comes into to the room seeing "The Ghost" inspecting his rocking chair while he is trying to see were he kept screwing up with his own chairs which broke into sunder.
I know this movie isn't "historically accurate" but I love it and always watch it around July 4th every year!
I have something of a bias; I'm Canadian although my love of my nation is years-long lost and I yearn for freedom to the point that I am willing to dedicate my work, sweat, tears, blood, and life to where I can find it. And America, based on my research despite my past of HATING America and Americans with every fiber of my being in my youth as many unfortunate Canadians are raised to... I now want nothing more than to BE American.
Also my heritage is with the British Isles and I am proud of my ancestral heritage. I also believe that the British Empire was truly miraculous, especially in terms of the abolishment of slavery.
We are living in a setting where no other human in history had known the like, based on the absence of slavery alone... yes it is in Pakistan and in other Islamic nations but thanks to the successes of the Magna Carta and concepts of English liberty and EXPANDING it within the 13 colonies that would be destined to form the GREATEST NATION THE WORLD HAD EVER KNOWN with the UNITED STATES of AMERICA... a nation that has never seen the like before or since... never before could anyone in human history say that slavery has been abolished across this much of the globe for this long.
It truly is a miracle, so I have my reasons to just about ADORE the British Empire, yet also have my reasons to absolutely ADORE the United States of America.
You can see my confliction, I suspect, and I confess that what I know of that film Patriot is very biased and not historically accurate. In some sense it's tribalist and basically sets the stage for "Red bad, blue good." That kind of concept, and seriously seems that simple.
But still I want to watch it, even if I may find myself recoiling at times of how what are somewhat my ancestors are portrayed, still the movie seems culturally relevant and well I have changed SO FREAKIN' MUCH over the past 5+ years. I mean wow, if I met me from like 2014 we would have LOTS of serious disagreements lmao But yeah, I think I should give it a look, and hey... my apprehension might be born of ignorance and maybe building up the movie as being way worse than I thought.
It is good to step out of what feels like your 'comfort zone.'
God bless, and also God bless America. Greatest nation on this planet... Canada is not worth my toil. America is worth my life if I can find freedom there. Like if it came down to left/right Civil War 2.0 and I had a legal opportunity to ESCAPE Canada to help the side I support... in a heartbeat. Please, just food, water, time to sleep, and well if I can afford to get some beer or something on my time off then that would be lovely but regardless I want to get the Hell out of this socialist shithole ASAP. I'd have left years ago if I could have... perhaps even before the Kung-Flu.
Freedom.
Im glad you realise that American. Tavington would of been hanged by the British for committing atrocities like the ones portrayed.
@@carl5192
The British Empire is often demonized, even within the United Kingdom itself. It's almost like people are upset that Great Britain abolished slavery across so much of the planet and in a sight not seen before by mankind, kept slavery abolished across MUCH of the globe for 150+ years, maybe even closer to 200 years now.
America went through their Civil War to abolish it which is good. Yeah it wasn't JUST about slavery, I have heard the Southerners speak on it in relation to the Yanks which is a distinction I had learned a few years back.
More people need to understand that we live in unparalleled times, and be grateful of the wisdom of our ancestors for bringing about this LITERAL MIRACLE that we are privileged to be living in. For in Pakistan right now there are an estimated two million slaves, and more slaves in other parts of the world.
Anti-Western sentiment needs to be countered by the reminder that we have accomplished some absolutely historic feats that truly... truly, people should be dropping to their knees and clutching their hands together in solemn prayer of gratitude that none of our fathers or mothers or grandfathers or grandmothers or cousins or uncles or aunts are slaves.
Though human traffickers are clearly working hard to bring it back, which the US Government seems willing to stand by and help by leaving the borders open.
Modern left-wing politics is anti-human and anti-West and we must defeat them in this Culture War where the LGBT rainbow alphabet-mafia regard children and children's schools as fundamental targets in their efforts in this Culture War.
Do not be silent, speak of what you see, and converse with people on the street.
Same. I have a lot of issues with this movie but I'll be damned if it isn't an enjoyable watch.
Gibson's historical movies always have VERY bad inaccuracies... but damn are they good stories.
RIP Tom Wilkinson. Fantastic in this role
He DIED?! Rest in Peace! Amazing actor.
Concede the first point (a personal one), negotiate hard on the second point (equality of lives) and leave no choice on the third point (the perceived value of officers vs "criminals"). The escalation of negotiation. Brilliant.
And then he reneged on every part of it, after getting what he wanted.
You have to remember that Benjamin cut his teeth in the British military. He knows them inside and out and how to deal with them.
@@fhuber7507 no he didn't. He simply played out Cornwallis. All's fair in love and war. You forget that Tavington, under Cornwallis' command, executed injured colonial soldiers, had his men loot Martin's house, burned it and his barns to the ground, killed his livestock, killed his son, and was about to execute his oldest son for being a spy when he clearly wasn't and should have been treated as a prisoner of war at worst. And you also forget that after the subterfuge of the prisoner exchange Cornwallis took the binders off of Tavington's hands who went after the families killing John Billings' wife and son then burned an entire church full of people. So it was Cornwallis who's the villain here not Benjamin Martin.
@@Rockhound6165 all's fair in love and war is a dumb quote. i've always felt this to be the case. there is no fair. that doesn't mean all is fair.
@@BobSmith-pm3wx and as I said, the Brits were brutal in this movie. Tavington is at fault for Martin even getting involved. Murdering wounded soldiers where they lay is one thing but Tavington ordered Martin's home and barns torched, livestock killed, horses taken, workmen taken against their will to fight for the crown, taking his eldest son, who is in uniform and who should be treated as a prisoner of war to be hanged without trial and have his body put on display, then he murdered his 2nd oldest son just to be a dick so don't give me this crap about what's fair. Cornwallis is lucky Martin didn't order an immediate siege on Cornwallis' stolen headquarters and killed everyone in it.
Man, Mel Gibson's character certainly got his use out of those captured uniforms. First they snuck onto a massive resupply boat and blew it up using them, then they used them to get their captured men back with them too!!
A dead man's been in them.
Do not forget Mel gets to have then dogs too! So Mel gets to leave the fort with his men and the dogs...
A prime requirement of guerilla warfare; acquire all supplies possible from your opponent, & put them to all potential uses you can. Sourcing anything from supportive civilians risks reprisals against them from the enemy, better to deprive your opponents of their resources & supply your command with them, keeping them self-sufficient. Doing so also damages enemy morale, boosts that of your men, & motivates their drive to acquire more. However, acquiring plunder, like money & valuables, cannot be allowed, or greed will override discipline, & destroy camaraderie among the men.
By far my favorite part of this is when he leaves and the dogs follow... was such a subtle but powerful moment for how Emmerich wanted the 2 sides portrayed
R.I.P. Tom. You were a great actor.
Funny how he is checking out the craftsmanship of the rocking chair.
Aye earlier in the movie, he is shown struggling with making his own furniture.
@@Klaaism it went into pieces, literally.
He was sick of spilling blood from what we Americans call "The French and Indian war" I think the brits call it "The 7 Year War"... He retired to his plantation to make rocking chairs, but everyone failed to hold his weight as the sides always busted out from under the seat so he was taking the time to study what he could... He only got in the war from the Brits taking his oldest son and ended up killing his youngest son...... His role in continental forces as a militia leader was only temporary...
Let's not overlook the fact General Cornwallis was portrayed as respectful and dignified in nearly every scene
I love the consistency of Benjamin Martin, in the beginning we she him struggling to make a rocking chair that doesn't fall apart. As he is waiting for General Lord Cornwallis he is inspecting the rocking chairs to try to figure them out.
It's a very minor action, but it goes to drive home the tenaciousness of Martin to persevere.
I think it’s very heartening to see that the film makers paid enough attention to detail to create that kind of continuity. It’s not necessary but it is character building for the character and the film itself.
@@orppranator5230 Yes, I noticed and appreciated that too. It brought a sense of "attention" to the scene.
Rest in peace Tom Wilkinson (General Cornwallis) 🇬🇧
and Ben Franklin
My favorite scene when he whistles, and the dogs run after him and alo that he fooled them with the soldier scarecrows...lol..genius
Amazing exchange between two great actors.
Mel, and Wilkinson, Mel, and Isaacs, and Wilkinson/Isaacs, were great scenery chewers, together.
I used to LOATHE Col. Tavington (Jason Isaacs). Wanted to reach into the screen, and punch him, REALLY HARD, in the face! 😮😄
I don't see how you could see even five feet outside those windows let alone across a valley.
Why and how do you think he got away with it?
🤣👍
Back then, they could only make little squares of glass. Thus you have window dividers and the glass wasn't very clear.
Hollywood magic
It’s almost like that was the whole point
@@paintballgaming1090 - it IS the whole point. Because of the irregularity of glass panes back then, the spyglass could not reveal the deception at all. The general could not tell that the "prisoners" were straw dummies.
One of my favorite movies for my favorite historic period of all time.
same here
I love how the dogs were in love with mel, and were so sad when he left them and had to go back. He must of gave those dogs lots of love and good food to make them so loyal so fast.
The dogs went with him.
When he leaves the property he waits about 100 feet and whistles and they bolt out to join him.
Have you not seen the movie?
Then he called for them as the last icing on the cake...they sprinted out after him.
Giving food will not just win over a dog, you gotta earn there trust and show you care about them and want to see them happy...
Mel does that in his movies..
Like Lethal Weapon.
@@jonathanbair523 Yeah it probably goes even further though; dogs sense who is the leader and who is the follower in every situation. They probably also sense who is likely to get them the attention/exercise they really want and who isn't (as in this clip). ;)
I love it.. He walks out with his men and the dogs, while giving up stuffed British uniforms....
Well, he did promise to arrange the return of the Generals clothing.
If you're an American, this movie will fill your heart with many laughs and tears. God Bless America!
yes such such a wonderful country. half the population are in debt over what should be a human right. The U.S. putting profits over their own citizens lives great for the few terrible for the many. though mind the U.K. is going the same way but we aren't allowed guns to make up for it.
If you know anything about history it fills you with cringe
If you feel the need to be unnecessarily intellectual all the time an overthink things you might not enjoy it.
That cause you're a Commie.@@SergyMilitaryRankings
God bless England. This movie is England vs England. Being a Dumb yank I wouldn’t expect you to understand history 😂😂😂😂
Some of the scenes in this movie feel like actual moving paintings from the 18th century. This is one of them.
If you think so, you may enjoy Kubrick's Barry Lyndon
"my men are excellent marksman. " 😂
Rest In Peace Tom Wilkinson
Mel Gibson owns this role of the English hero who fought to protect the English from the evil English.
Amazing how often he plays that role and frees England from the dastardly grasp of the evil English.
LOL love how you get the actual situation.
and did it all without an english accent. a true legend
And he is Australian! 😂
@@dennisrodriguez3689 Australians are very talented playing other nationalities, like the legendary actor Kirk Lazarus as Lincoln Osiris.
I saw this in the theatre in Oceanside CA. When he says to his son "Do you intend to enlist without my permission?" I yelled out "DON"T DO IT!" The Marines and Sailors agreed and started chanting "Don't enlist, fuck the suck!" hahaha
The best part of that interaction was just right after and you stop it there.
RIP Tom, you leave behind a Legacy, Thank You for being you!
RIP Tom Wilkinson. Great actor
The next one we have won't be anywhere NEAR as civilized as the last one.
Sure it will. Robots have no need to be rude.
It's so hilarious and heart warming that he's there as a soldier and military leader which he is amazing as and all he truly cares about is how did they make this chair work bc I can't for the life of me 😄
😂😂😂
Mel doing his Riggs imitation with the General's dogs.
Mars & Jupiter as names for dogs this huge...
Amazing.
I forgot about him not being able to make that chair he was inspecting at the beginning
I always thought that was a nice touch. Immediate call back to him blowing chairs to splinters in the start.
I don't think any other movie could've portrayed the events of the American revolution so precisely and artistically as this one did. Everything about it in my opinion was spot on: the costume design, choice of actors, as well as the script and those high moments in the films climax. Very well done, very well done indeed! And Mel Gibson to me was one of the most visionary directors ever in the history of Hollywood.
What are you talking about? this movie is fun and all, but it's a very romanticed version of the war to the point it becomes nationalistic propaganda. It makes the Brits look like nazis while the Americans are saints who do no wrong, the issue of slavery is thrown under the rug and there's barely no mention of the motives of the rebellion. Also there is only one single colonist who sides with the Brits (and the movie makes him look like Judas) when back then nearly 20% of the white population of the Colonies were active loyalists, while around only 40% were actively fighting for independence.
@@XcUtiOn96 Well I mostly just like the costume design and how the battle scenes were arranged. As far as historical accuracy you may have a point as far as what little I know. However slaves were mentioned when they were promised freedom in exchange for military service and Mel Gibson is best known for his historical movies that he writes and directs, and this is one of them. He always plunges deep into the subject matter that he writes about.
@@XcUtiOn96 Also too if this movie is so unfair of its portrayal of the British then why were other European countries against them?
@@XcUtiOn96 Slavery also, from what I remember, wasn't a strong subject of debate till a hundred years later when the Civil War broke out
@@XcUtiOn96 Why would the focus be entirely on slavery? This isn't a 1619 Project or Howard Zinn propaganda presentation of 1776. This is a historical fiction film that is intertwined with events that actually happened. Camden, Cowpens, the conquest of South Carolina, Lord Cornwallis... I don't think you've read much on the subject of 1776, rather you've watched some sensationalist RUclipsrs foolishly critique a historical fiction film for its historical inaccuracies, which then prompts you to imitate a pretentious jackass on the internet, who thinks he's special because he can point out historical inaccuracies in a HISTORICAL FICTION. If you've read any books on the Revolutionary War, you would find that it's almost entirely about The Revolutionary War, not slavery. Because as the title of these Revolutionary War books suggests, It's about the Revolutionary War, not slavery. I shouldn't even have to point that out.
Fantastic scene in a fantastic movie. Dude has some balls
That's what made this country great. Now look at it. We're in the moral decline where we will cave in to any narrative
@@frankpetrulli6986 Critical thinking is discouraged, emotions are encouraged. The true "dumbing down" of America... It's sad how the colonies were known to be one of the most literate places in the world, the British even referred to us as "Yankee psalm singers." Now we're in a state of confusion, division, degeneracy, a failed society, void of any connection and polluted with the importation of foreigners who value their country of birth over America.
RIP Tom Wilkinson who played General Cornwallis.
The reason you treat your enemies like this is simple.
Whomever wins, its understood that you have to live with them afterwards.
All modern wars are stopped by treaties of some kind. How you treat your enemy during the war's beginning through the peace process dictates the kind of relationship you will have going forward.
Unless your goal is to wipe them out entirely lol
@@Reaver1223 Genocide is easier said than done, and no matter what you wind up paying for it in the end usually in a really nasty way.
@@MrJustonemorevoice not saying it’s easy, but those with genocide in mind throw all diplomacy out the door if they don’t think they’ll need to deal with their enemy afterwards. But then again, genocidal regimes tend to unite many unlikely allies against them
@@Reaver1223 Because you cannot trust someone who is genocidal.
"Homo homini lupus est"
When you reveal yourself to be a wolf, you will be hunted down by men.
And I forgot this exchange of prisoners simply brilliant.
That little "not now boys" to the dogs at the end was priceless.
Ahhhh, Mel, if there was ever a "cheeky" fellow - it's got to be you. Love your movies, man - always have.
I love how aggressively american wizard Benjamin is lmao. Like he may as well be Mary Poppins halfway through the movie he's got all the talents a human can have.
R.I.P. Tom
Rest in peace, mr Wilkinson.. you were damn good..
One of the best scenes from the movie.
Rip Tom Wilkinson!
Dogs were like don't leave me with this wanker. You fed me and gave me a warm place. Don't go.
This movie just brings tears to my American eyes 💦
Stop abusing the word "Just".
The hand gestures he did to the dogs "Stay! lie down" in front of their original owner was the most chad move ever
Thats the best part he called the dogs LOL!
The best part was after he left. He whistled and the dogs ran off with him.
LOL yes.... The look on his face of seeing his dogs go out the gates after Mel... Like "He got his men and my dogs......."
Mel Gibson always has something with dogs going on lol 😂
I don't recall that being the case in the lethal weapon for movies anthology
A bunch of scarecrows in Red suits lmaooo
The color of the room looks beautiful.
Rip Tom Wilkinson 🙏
I have been there, his acting was spot on. If Denzel has never lived that life, he sure captures it in this scene.
I’ve watched this movie a dozen times, Mel was so “ CHEEKY “ to order the CO to “ GET MY MEN “ 🤭
Back when they made good movies
No Woke crap.
@@billmalec Agreed. All they ever produce today is piss-poor actors flying around in skin-tights, homosexual kiss scenes in Disney movies, and garbage remakes and sequels to movies from the 20th century.
As a dog lover, I would find their betrayal as the ultimate insult. You are given command, but you earn loyalty.
And respect.
This remains one of my favorite movies ever. Idgaf if its basically a tall tale, thats why its good
One of my top 5 movies of all time. I watch this clip & I think of the way District Attorney Fani Willis spoke at her court hearing today. Blows the mind how fall we have fallen as an intelligent society.
Say what you want, but this is a very entertaining movie.
Who says its not? Some idiot?
He didn't get his telescope back. That was strange. That was high technology in those days.
It wasn’t Mel Gibsons telescope. He takes it right off his desk
12/30/2023 RIP Tom Wilkinson, I will always remember you as General Cornwallis :(
Mel makes the movie and his enduring love of his children,he is a remarkable genius actor,MAD MAX PROVED THAT
FINE! i will watch the Patriot again.
Exactly my thoughts whenever I see The Patriot clips on RUclips 😂
RIP Tom Wilkinson :(
Lets all appreciate Mel's untouched reputation as epsteins list is sifted through
Benjamin Martin, in this movie, his real name, was Patrick Mazei, a Dutch Black-coat, and Commander of the Hessian Army. And my ancestor. He is indeed the namesake of The Saint Patrick’s Mint, in Saint Petersburg, Florida. He was also Irish and Italian. He was often referred to as ‘The Leprechaun,’ and, ‘The Father of Saint Patrick’s Day.’
I love Mel Gibson. I love his stance on Hollywood. I wish him all the best, and I will continue to support him and his movies.
I really enjoy watching this movie, but as has been pointed out in other comments and reviews of the film, the actual History is blurred more than a little. Mel Gibson's character though is based on a real person. I wonder how many realize that Disney years ago made a mini series based on the same same person and called it The Swamp Fox. When one looks up the actual person in history, he is portrayed not as he has been in film or TV. But he was a very real figure in the War.
Aye there's alot of folk tales around the Swamp Fox, which makes it difficult separating fact from fiction. Fortunately people from the time period wrote ALOT, and kept personal journals, which makes them a historian's holy grail.
@@Klaaism Its really because he kept hundreds of slaves and was not that great of a guy. And they made up alot of the villians because none of what they did actually happened. This film is about as historical as star wars.
@@freneticness6927 Oh yeah it's closer to the 300 movie far as historical accuracy goes. However, that's typical Hollywood BS, and such movies don't claim to be accurate anyways. Now you have travesties like Netflix's Cleopatra. Egypt is actually suing Netflix over that one, lmao.
@@Klaaism Well hollywood hasnt ever been known for there historical accuracy. Getting john wayne to be ghengis khan or rex harrison to be the king of siam. But they rarely do historical films anyways. And americas foreign allies in the revolution and most wars theyve ever been have been essentially erased from their history books.
Also it was the Colonists in real life who were brutal. The colonists would pour hot tar on townspeople they suspected of being British loyalist. Both sides did bad things in real life. I will say the movie is very entertaining.
Who let the dogs out!!!😅
And who let the dog Tavington in. 😂
All time classic
A brilliant scene!!
1:11 -- Paraphrased: "We can't have a proper war without our officers!" 🤣
gotta love how he was inspecting the rocking chair tryna take his design 😭
Every child about 12-16, depending on the parents discretion should make their kids watch this film every year before they leave the home the night of July 3rd so they understand the cost of freedom and how long ago it was secured (Even though the film is fiction, it is based on tactics and records of the Revolutionary war).
And they won’t turn out to be these woke SJWs and weirdo environmentalists.
The main battle towards end where Tavington was killed was based off two battles. Mel's character was based some off of Morgan (forgot first name and rank) as you mentioned who used the very same tactic used in aforementioned battle as in the movie.
I do agree on having kids watch it. At the risk of sounding boastful, another reason why I watch it is that a branch of my family was also in South Carolina at the same time and one of them fought on the patriot side at Cowpens. So I do have a little tie to the movie.
Not to piss on anyone's July 4th parade, but what it "took" to secure independence was the generous support of the French navy, who kept most of the British troops from ever getting to American soil.
If your kids ever need to defend their freedom they're going to need diplomacy a lot more than riflemanship.
@@yawningpheonix That depends on whom they're defending their freedom from. If it's foreign nations, sure, diplomacy might help, but America faces not even the slightest threat from abroad.
@@ShankarSivarajanexactly, in the US and in many other countries the biggest threat to freedom comes from the government
Great movie! I really love those Great Danes!!
(2:10) And 216 years later Benjamin Martin is resurrected to say, *_'Either I get my money or I kill Carter."_*
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm threatening Carter."
It's $75,000 smh. My money yes or no?
Stop it, I'm getting misty.
@@RollinTwentySix *"Stop it, I'm getting misty."*
... Well-played!
Journals and Sceptors lol
I love this movie. I haven’t seen it in a long time and forgot how good it is actually. It’s another movie that the Rotten Tomatoes critics got wrong. The critics ratings on that site are useless. Only the audience ratings matter.
I also love this movie too
Yeah but you do know it’s made up bullshit
"you must imagine the chaos that would ensue in a leaderless army".... isnt.... thats...thats the point of targeting officers....XDDD
Indeed, however this depend on the circunstances as the Brit pointed out, a leaderless army can turn its rage into the civilian population if they do not have a higher up restraining them from such affairs. So is kinda, a 50/50 scenario that could work or hinder those aiming for the enemy's officers.
You have to shake your head at the hubris that has the British leader asking for gentlemanly behavior while not curbing his own army’s callousness. At least the officers are armed, whereas the women and children are true sitting targets.
This movie is amazing on so many levels; I have lost count how many times I have watched it. Bravo!! 👏✨
