July 4th is celebrated in film

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2000)

Was Braveheart historically accurate? Noooo.. But it was a great film in my opinion and it moved the Scots when it was released. Why can't Americans have the same thing? Why can't we have historically inaccurate, positive war films like Saving Private Ryan and the Patriot? All you Patriot detractors, lighten up and enjoy the fun cinematic ride. The film was flawed but it is still the best movie of the summer. If you are looking for a negative semi-accurate war movie, go rent that pretentious piece of crap The Thin Red Line. Me? I am going to Blockbuster to rent Gettysburg and feel good about myself as well as my country. Have a little pride!
The Patriot gets 9 out of 10 stars!
