Jingoistic and historically inaccurate

Rating: 4/10 (11 February 2017)

ON the one hand, I think it's brave to examine an era such as this, and look at the issues at hand, from the settlers point of view.
But on the other hand, so much of a formula is used here, for Jingoism and patriotism, presumably to make sure the movie sold tickets.
After seeing the film, and the scene, with the British burning the church, I was shocked to see that the British would do such a thing. I went to read my Revolutionary war history...and guess what, they didn't. May be in the 1950s this was OK, but in the modern era, fabricating events from wars that simply didn't happen is not OK, and distorts how people see history. This is not a responsible attitude to re-telling history. Overall, great production values wasted on a jingoistic simple tale made for the mass market. Don't bother.
