The Patriot (Superbit Deluxe Collection) Reviews
Excellent Movie
This movie is a great one, and you will like it even more if you are interested in the historic time period in which it takes place.
Mel Gibson plays a pacifist who, after doing his best to avoid violence, has it thrust upon him by a heartless officer. After one of his boys gets murdered right in front of his eyes, IT'S ON!!! While I am not big on revenge, this movie urges that justice be done. You find yourself rooting for Mel Gibson every step of the way after that. This is easily one of the best period pieces ever made.
More Gibson garbage...no stars
I wouldn't normally write a review of such drivel but felt that I had to when I saw what Christiane Schmidt had to say.
Now we all know Mr Gibson has got issues with the British (as well as others) - just look at that other pile of tosh - Braveheart. But here is an example of why rewriting history to fit your own personal prejudice is dangerous. The usual response is "It's not history but Hollywood, it's fiction based on historical events". But the problem is that some people actually believe it really happened like that!
Now I'm sure that many atrocities took place on either side of what was in effect a civil war, but I've never read of the British burning down churches with people inside - Nazis, yes....British, no. But who cares about whether it really happened....it's only a film!!
Good grief, next thing you know they'll be making a film about the US recovering the first enigma machine.....oops.
