Propaganda film? I think not

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2011)

The Patriot is indeed a film that has sparked controversy among American and British viewers. I feel that it is necessary to clear some of the air that surrounds this "propaganda" . A great deal of people have come away with the impression that this film is perhaps a unrealistic piece of trash that portrays the British soldiers as Nazis. Thats right Nazis. Viewers have settled on this opinion because the British troops in the film are seen committing evil acts like, executing wounded men, or burning down a church full of civilians. So what? Its a movie, get over it. Is every American officer an insane killer just because Colonel Kurtz is in "Apocalypse Now"? No. Besides the antagonist, our "Nazi" British officer who leads these evil acts, is a fictional character. I hope anybody who wants to see this movie reads this review first, and can watch it without crying fowl. I'm an American and I do realize the historical in-accuracy, and the Rambo like action. But it's simply a movie and a great one too. No one American or British should come away from this feeling insulted, remember its just a movie.
