People can argue all they want about how the movie isn’t historically accurate, but the acting was absolutely brilliant. The battle scenes were excellent too.
Very true, but a movie about the beginning of a country being historically inaccurate is pretty bad. I guess the film can be better appreciated if someone isn’t American the same as I’m not as bothered about the historical inaccuracy of Braveheart.
And what wasn’t accurate about it? That they amalgamated characters? That they glossed over slavery? Let’s make it a 20 part documentary so we have all the detail.
The historical inaccuracies are only the start to everything wrong with this movie. It's so painfully bad at times, it might be better labeled a comedy.
Its more that it was thematically a caricature of the revolutionary war. WE were the pure and good rebels who just wanted freedom and the British were the evil Empire with generals willing to burn down a church full of civilians. Thats the problem. Films can be historically inaccurate, they can use amalgamations of people and events, hell they can even make up people and events. However when you boil down a historical event to "good versus evil" in a way that isnt accurate. Thats where you get my biggest ire. Now that I am an adult I know the dangers of films like this one, films that turns our history into mythology rather than history. Children and even adults in this country really think that the Revolutionary War was like this, American rebels good British evil. Its very rare if not nonexistent to have a war where the sides are good and evil. About the closest we come is to the Allies fighting Nazi Germany. And thats it. But the Revolutionary War was NOT a battle of "good versus evil", just a battle of two sides one a country wanting to keep its colony and a colony who didnt want to be a colony anymore. It was purely political. If you were a colonist you were some servant or slave, you were a subject. Yeah there were some rights that the colonists didnt have or representation, but that made it more unfair, but not evil. The Revolutionary War wasnt Star Wars and the British were not "The Galactic Empire" atleast not if you were a white colonist. Now if you were a slave or a brown person in Jamaica then sure we can argue that the British were in fact "the evil empire". But if you were a white colonist/British subject in South Carolina? Nah it wasnt that serious.
In Gabriel's final moment, instead of being afraid of dying, he expresses guilt over his younger brother being slain while attempting to rescue him. His father comforting him by tell him it wasn't his fault......that part really got to me.
Gabriel Martin, in real life, was based, somewhat loosely, on Philip Mazei, an Italian Greencoat Federal Officer of the American Army. He was also my ancestor. He was known for quoting The Pledge of Allegiance of the U.S.A. before it was even written and signed into law.
I met Renee one time at a wedding. (The actor playing the reverend). He was a super nice guy. He died a few years ago. He played an alien on a Star Trek TV show and had nothing but nice things to say about the fans and the conventions.

I expected him to be a bit disdainful of his Star Trek work but he had nothing but nice things to say about the work and the Trekies.
I still never got over Heath. The guy seemed like a one of a kind person. His art and dedication truly gave me some of the most memorable characters and movies. But he seemed a truly gentle and curious soul in real life.

Very epic and atmospheric scene, not devoid of realism. Better than her, only an ambush in the forest, when Gibson frees his son captured by the British.
No one talks about René Auberjonois (the Reverend). He could have shot Tavington but instead saw a boy he knew in trouble and rushed to his defence. Mr. Auberjonois you will also be missed, sir.
Also the Reverend, being an OG, knew that he even though he was a dead man after being shot, still with his last actions made sure Gabriel got his loaded gun
I think it’s crazy brilliant how this scene also shows his fathers crazy side is still in Gabriel,who knows what he was going to do to Tavington with that knife..
Trust me. As a married man and a father, if anyone did to my wife and children did to Benjamin’s and Gabriel’s; there is no hell deep enough or savage enough to match what I’d do to the mother fucker who hurt them. That’s the sentiment of any father or husband worth there salt. If I cannot protect them, I damn sure will avenge them.
When I try to explain dramatic touch in a movie to someone, I will show this scene. It won't work in a normal speed, will be just like another shoot-out in the open
Although very cliche I greatly appreciate how they depicted Tavington as a very skilled & formidable antagonist, as that adds another dimension of ruthlessness, nastiness & fear onto his character, & thus makes watching his eventual death via impalement all the more satisfying. And Jason Issacs played Tavington amazingly, capturing the sadistic menace & cruelty of the man perfectly. Mel was also superlative in this role, most especially during those scenes when he was grieving for his dying sons. Each should have been nominated for an Oscar (Heath Ledger's precocity of talent also shone through brilliantly!).
I love this “small action” battle. So much of war is this…. Small murder engagements, up close and personal. No great battle lines, no artillery from miles away. Even today with everything we’ve accomplished, it’s very often down to this.
@@donovanbrady1541When an actor is good enough to pull that off you know they are among the best of the best. You basically either have to trick your own mind into believing that you are the character that you’re playing and what is going on around you is real or they have to be thinking of a heartbreaking or really sad moment that they personally went through in real life to use genuine emotion and cry the way he did. Mel Gibson is a truly amazing actor and director too and there aren’t enough people like him in this world.
That subtle moment where the pastor gets shots, but before he dies, he passes the gun off to Gabriel to finish Tavington off. Definitely an arc in his character as opposed to before where he felt unsure about fighting the enemies in war.
No… that is wrong. Think about it. Flintlock’s give you one shot. And Gabriel died by the saber. The moral of the story is: never bring a flintlock to a sword fight.
This scene always made me so mad. If Gabriel had just reloaded and shot him again it would have been over but instead he was thinking about what his father said about revenge and "taking their time", cutting them up in pieces...
Rule #2: The Double Tap "In those moments where you're not sure the undead are really dead, dead. Don't get all stingy with your bullets, one more clean shot to the head. Woulda', coulda', shoulda'." (Columbus, Zombieland)
It's telling how Zombieland rules are so relevant to almost any kind of situation that doesn't even include zombies. Rule #25: Shoot First - Which was the pastor's mistake Rule #17: Don't be a hero - Unconsciously, Gabriel wanted be a hero by avenging his dead wife.
I've always said this is one of Mel Gibson's BEST performances. From the start to the end of the Patriot, his completely embodies the role of Benjamin. And in this scene... omg... That's how a real father would react to a second son dying in his arms!! And his speaking to God, literally like, "wake me up! Wake me up! This can't be real!" Absolutely incredible!!
I have fought in 3 wars and I will tell you that this is rated G compared to what really happens in war. Real war is so brutal that this movie is just feel good entertainment and that real war, for the victor or the loser, is all about delivering the most pain and mental anguish possible with no holds bared. Just to watch children raped in front of their parents and families is enough to make you question your values of your loyalties to country. To slowly torture women, children and the elderly for the sake of verifying information to make sure that it is incorrect is mind boggling. For army's to be raping their own soldiers as a stress relief is not less sickening. To be shot and killed is far more merciful than other atrocities committed on either side or the same side. This movie is like a weekend at the county fair during summer vacation.
All Gabriel had to do was reload and double-tap from range, just to make sure of the kill, but I guess he needed to die to make the rest of the plot happen.
Mel Gibson is such a great actor, his reaction is so realistic it's painful to watch and just imagine being in that father's shoes. It's no wonder his own movies are so real and visceral, he is not interested in half-assed feelings, he wants to crack hearts open because life is harsh and not sugarcoated, and our empathy makes us better human beings.
I agree, it would just be great if he left out all those low-key Christian/religious undertones out of it, I just want to watch a movie, not get informed about the Lord for the 232983728374th time in my life.
Heath Ledgers acting here is perfect. The determination reflected on his face is amazing. It’s only after he has been stabbed that he realizes (too late) what has happened.
This scene just breaks my heart too much. Especially since Heath Ledger is gone. Plus, Mel's superb acting and the pain he shows. As great as this movie is, I don't watch it any more because this part always makes me so sad
5:21 I always thought this acting was some of the best mourning I've ever seen an actor do... At first he's in a slight crazed denial that his son just died.

But he's naturally too weak to hold up any kind of facade of strength or perseverance. And so finally he accepts that his eldest son is dead and he just gives up, lets it all go and cry's in defeat... He basically goes through every stage of grief within a time span of roughly 20 seconds. It's heartbreaking and relatable to anyone who's experienced a tough loss.
Jason Issacs is such an underrated actor. He plays the bad guy so well in whatever film he’s in. This is one of my favourite films
When I read Game Of Thrones i imagine him as Roose Bolton because of this movie.
@@z1205 Isaacs would’ve been a fantastic Roose
I agree he actually made me hate him in this film that's how good he was at playing a bad guy
He was very good as captain Steele in black hawk down where he was good obviously and led the army ranger battalion.
His role was critical for the entire film

Almost like he truly witnessed a soul leaving its body. Superb acting
Fun fact, This entire scene originally only last 35 seconds so they decided to do it slow motion style.

The way Odo throws that musket to him... XD

Not to take anything away from this tragic scene, but at 1:47 the way he grabs the gun out of midair is so satisfying and bad-ass
All Gabriel had to do was reload and double-tap from range, just to make sure of the kill, but I guess he needed to die to make the rest of the plot happen.
