Great cinematic experience but inaccurate historical references!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2019)

Mel Gibson and the late Heath Ledger were brilliant in this film, as was Jason Isaacs as the evil Tavington, but the historical timeline is grossly misrepresented.
The end of the film shows Benjamin Martin and his patriot army standing victorious against the British... but historical evidence shows that at the end of both the Cherokee War and the French and Indian War, the time during which the film is set, the British did indeed win both wars with victory.
