A Great Lesson in American History!

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2000)

"The Patriot," starring Mel Gibson and directed by Roland Emmerich, is a superb movie about the U.S. revolutionary war and explains why the colonists revolted against English rule. They were fighting for family, home, and freedom, a lesson no longer taught in American schools. While one of the major scenes in the movie was not historically accurate, it was representative of the type of British action that incited the colonists to fight a long and costly war for independence.
Go see "The Patriot" and get a great lesson in American history!
