the deeper review

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2001)

Now what can I say about the Patriot? Well, it was a good film, no doubt about that . The cast was excellent and the special effects, although not breath-taking were certainly good . And then we come onto the storyline . It's war, fine the Americans verses the British . But it's not just that is it! It's the amazing, heroic, God following, church going Americans verses the evil, children slaughtering, Satan worshipping British . To say that this film is a bit bias towards the nationality of the directors is a bit like saying Hitler was a bit naughty! The film chiefly follows one American who brutally slays countless British (might be considered wrong but they are British after all - they murder children!). To begin with it's just him and his two sons killing a mass unit of British . Before he effortlessly slays the lot of them he says a prayer to God, indicating that even God hates the British as supports the Americans! The film made a historical event seem as cut and dry as British=Evil, Americans=Good which as anyone with any historical sense will know is not how history normally happens . It's not black and white! I understand the desparation of the American people for their well deserved freedom but to make it that bias was just blind patiotism and deserves the terrible reviews it got over here in England! As if the Americans hadn't insulted us enough with U-571....
