Movie fails, and you fail. The history is shit, the characterization is shit, the portrayal of both the Americans and the English is shit. The only redeeming features of this film are a fairly decent depiction of how fucked up it is to be infantry in the age of line warfare, and this scene of a cannonball doing all its damage "on the bounce", instead of exploding, like cannonballs always seem to do in the fucking movies.

I liked that movie despite how technically shitty it was. =/ It was fun, and that's what I look for in a movie. If I want historical accuracy, I'll watch a documentary.

... Except for the fact that most amerifaggots think that's history - for example, some utter retard might watch this film, then say "It's remarkable how the USA has gone to shit," as though the film actually depicted US history in some way. It'd take a mighty big retard, though.

What are you saying? My history teacher told the "The Patriot" was a documentary and the events happened in real time, just like the Highlander and H. R. Puffnstuff.

Some of the stuff was based off fact but exaggerated. The English generals at some point .did. resort to horrid treatment of certain patriots. But the main character, how he acts and how his family acts is complete fiction, and everything bad the English do is horribly exaggerated.

Trust me, the English didn't break half so many of the period's rules of warfare as the Americans.

Meaning they didn't stand in a straight line in broad daylight without any cover while firing. Fucking american faggots used cover.

Don't forget that the French helped us. So, you not only lost to a bunch of farmers, you lost to the French... Greatest armada ever assembled, huh?
To Britain's credit though, they mostly relied on Hessians from Germany for the infantry battles. The didn't really care about the fight and would rather have just stayed out of it and gotten shit faced.

lol, how dare they not take cannonballs to the face like real men. hahaha. i always figured the whole "Whatever it takes to win while not dying" philosophy was the very best method. and usually most appreciated by historians and uh.. yourself.

The idea of standing in rank and file while the enemy shot at you was to show the enemy your soldiers had no fear of death. It's a tradition of war as old as the earliest existing histories of war.
