a moving film

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2005)

The Patriot is an moving film, displaying eighteenth century, Colonial America. A simple farmer of English roots,he seeks to fight no more.The Patriot (Martin/Gibson) wants peace for the Nation, and simplicity for his family. When the British kill his young son in cold blood, he unleashes the anger of a soldier of the French/Indian warrior. Some historical facts are accurate,but mostly it is a collage(not college)of persons. A tyrant British Col. of the Dragoon Regiment, seeks to wipe out all rebels who oppose the King James. Gibson,skillfully displays his peace of life and his anger of injustice when he continually strikes a dead Redcoat. Upon finding his senses, he fordids his eldest son Gabriel, to Continue to fight against the British Red. A soldier, Martin once fought for Britain, now Martin fights against. Face it,It's unacceptable to love the United States of America. Well done, Thanks, Mel A.
