The underlying reason why people like this....

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2008)

Now, lets start with the technicalities of this film, and its floors, before i go into the politics, and the reason why i think people actually like this.
Their are just so many floors which are mainly due to the script:
The thematical issues such as, the son who worries his father but really is just like his father. The widower, who is still mourning his wifes death. This film however, has pretty nice cinematography, and some quite good acting from Heath Ledger (RIP), and it also has ummm, not much good to be said actually....
It does have a lot of cheesy, and old fashoined clichés, such as the old good vs evil, and the good guy wins, but with a sacrifice. The dialogue is corny, it is historically inaccurate so much so, that it could very easily mislead someone into thinking its history, because its portrayed in such a confident way.
So why do people like this film? I will tell you why: It is adrenaline pumped, patriotic crap, which i think Americans, and Anti Colonial Britain people just love, because firstly, the Americans win (which they obivously did in the war, but they did not win it as handsomely as the film portrays) our hero lives, and bludgeons a few Brits to death. And all round, just pleases the audience, because lets face it, Americans for some reason, love to see Brits die on screen, and Brits are always portrayed as the bad guys.
But this arises the question? Does it have to be a technically sound film, to be a good one. Can a film have a crappy script, and terrible acting, but entertains the masses, and be regarded as great?
Well um, i dunno, but lets just admit all Americans, and the odd Indian who has been spreading hatred around, this film is just corny patriotic trash.
