  1. Never assume your man isn't capable of violence.
    The meek quote in the bible translates as "Those that have swords but keep them sheathed will inherit the earth."
    You'd best hope we keep them sheathed.

  4. If you've seen the Harry Potter movies, you'll recognize Col. Tavington (Jason Isaacs) was Lucius Malfoy in that series. He does villains really well. I watch The Patriot every 4th of July. Such a good movie. It stands the test of time.

  6. The scene that really hits is in the beginning we he says that “this war won’t be fought on some distant frontier but amongst us and our children will learn of it and see it with there own eyes” it just shows how easy it is to be patriotic about a war far away in a distant land but when you see that death with your own eyes it’s a different story

  7. One of the most condescending racist films to be ever released by Hollywood and I'm no woke , To even think that slaves were happy go lucky in Colonial times is disgusting the way they portrayed in this film is not only insulting by just ignorant just to add the vast majority of Natives Americans and Black people supported the British not Colonials this is another case of Gibson trying to re-write History in film.

  14. This is our story. A story of longings for that which should be. But in life our longings are meaningless to the tyrannical masters that bind us from that which God himself has given all free men. They take that which is not theirs and give naught back that which is owed. Once again a storm is brewing on the horizon and with it will come those who would subjugate those who will not bend the knee to the masters will. Blood will flow like an ocean over the land once again. For the tree of liberty must be replenished with the blood of tyrants and patriots.

  19. There are still port cities, so I'm not sure what you mean. They're quite different these days, of course, with massive container ships being loaded and off-loaded by enormous cranes, but the idea is the same. I live in San Diego, and within the same area (once you drive downtown), you can see rows of US Navy warships (including destroyers, cruisers, amphibious assault ships, and aircraft carriers), one old carrier converted into a museum (the USS Midway Museum), huge cruise ships, and the Maritime Museum of San Diego, which has four old-time sailing ships or "tall ships" in its collection: the Star of India (at 159 years old, it is the oldest ship in the world that can still sail, and it does every so often), the HMS Surprise (used in the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World ), the Californian (official tall ship of the state of California), and the San Salvador (replica of Juan Cabrillo's ship, the first European ship to land on the west coast of the US in 1542). All of these tall ships can sail, and it's really cool to see them docked together right next to the modern city of San Diego.

    Nothing today can match the view seen in The Patriot , of course, as that was from a different era, but there are still reminders and modern equivalents around.

  20. They were all British subjects at the time, so a "patriot" would have been loyal to the Crown. The American revolutionaries would be called traitors and insurrectionists today by an American government that now tries to control every aspect of our lives. Tyranny from overseas or from our own neighbors–what's the difference, right? He had a point there. I don't care who is called what. I judge people politically on whether they protect our rights and freedom from government, or want the government to take away our rights and freedom. "Patriot" and "traitor" are merely labels of convenience that could apply to anyone on either side.

  21. Those lead balls (used as bullets back then) everyone was shooting in the air have to come down eventually, and could potentially kill someone. 🙄 I'm pretty sure nothing like this actually happened, because even back then, people weren't allowed to discharge firearms within a town or city for no good reason, and the guns of the time were much harder and more iffy to be kept ready to fire (no sealed metallic cartridges for ammunition like today, just gunpowder and lead balls). People still fire into the air for the New Year, though, which I detest. I'm a gun owner and I cherish my gun rights in America, but shooting into the air is just dumb (and illegal, as it should be). 🙄

  22. "Aim small miss small." One interesting facet of the American Revolution was that rifles, a relatively new invention at the time, were popular in the Colonies. These had spiral grooves in their barrels (like modern rifles and handguns) that spun the projectiles to greatly increase their accuracy. They weren't any good (at the time) for shooting as quickly as possible while in massed formations, for which the musket was far more appropriate, but as long-range sniper weapons, they were extremely deadly, and that's how Americans used them. They also used muskets for regular warfare, but rifles were very useful for thinning the ranks of British officers even before the battles took place.

    Of course, today no one uses muskets, as the weaknesses of rifles, which used to be very slow to load, have been overcome, but back in the day, the British Army were not accustomed to getting shot at with high accuracy from long distances, which simply wasn't possible with muskets. It must have come as a terrific shock to them, in addition to the tactics used by some American troops, which formed the basis of guerilla warfare and special operations today.

  24. The ship that exploded was full of gunpowder, so it was going to blow up regardless (gunpowder on its own only burns fast, but it's contained in barrels and the ship's hull, which effectively makes it into an explosive in the same way that a pressure cooker or iron pipe does).

  26. With everybody seemingly about to die anyway, I suppose there was no better time to get married. In real life in modern times, this often happens shortly before deployments.

  27. It's good to have emotional "layers" because it's like cleansing the palate. Giving one's sense of pathos a break only makes the next round of tragedy more devastating. 😈

  29. If I were in that burning church, I'd wait for those redcoats to leave like a James Bond villain, and then bust through a window. Burning or asphyxiating to death just isn't me.

  30. This movie kind of reminds me of what is happening in Ukraine right now. Putin already has by far the largest country (in terms of land area) and one of the very richest in terms of natural resources, but it's not enough for him–he wants to control Ukraine, as well, and will use any tactics necessary, no matter how brutal they are to Ukrainians and his own troops, who are getting ground up by the thousands like hamburger meat by high-tech weaponry from the west (mostly from the US). But we can't let him have Ukraine like we let Hitler have Poland, because then like Hitler he'd take another country and another until all of Europe and eventually the world is under his control. So we will continue to pour billions of dollars into ending the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russians who mostly don't want to fight, and prolong the suffering of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, all because Russia is not big enough for one little man. Unbelievable.

  31. This is the war movie I absolutely despise. Even as far as war movies go, it's far too cruel and pointlessly so. All for the purpose of telling some Hollywood-ized BS about a known slave rapist and war criminal. F**K this movie.

  33. Jason Isaacs makes for such a great villain. He just oozes evil. Apparently he's a great guy in real life.
    A good role of his that often gets overlooked is the dual Captain Hook/Mr. Darling role in one of the live action Peter Pan movies, where he's both a nice guy and a despicable villain in the same movie.
    Overall I think this is one of Mel Gibson's best performances. Not my favorite role of his, but he does such a good job making you believe who and what he is and how he is feeling.

  35. As a historian, it’s refreshing to hear Arianna make comments that indicate a good understanding of history. This is not meant to be patronizing, but encouraging. Enjoy watching your reactions Arianna. Thanks.
