A real shame

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2003)

It is a real shame that Hollywood and Gibson take history and turn it on its head. While the movie had some good, even excellent moments, it was more an action movie than a historical movie. This is a real shame because peopel will watch this and think that is how the Americian Revolution was.
The hisotrical inaccurarices are too numorous to mention, but several are VERY wrong and glaring. The only really worth while section is when Gibson is in the local Gover't assembly and they are debatign war and he questions why to go to war, he has kids, etc.
If you watch it, watch this scence for historya nd the rest for entertanment.
Let us hope hollywood will be more true to hisotry, the real stories are much better than anything they can dream up.
