Fun fact: When the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender were looking for an actor to play Commander/Admiral Zhao, they said that Zhao was inspired from Tavington's character in this film because they loved Jason Isaacs' performance. So, they asked their casting agent to look for someone who could fulfill that kind of villain role. She delivered on that request by getting Jason Isaacs himself. XD

Two moment in the movie that gut me every time. 1) When Martin's daughter pulls away from him when he tries to hug her... just tears my heart out. And THEN, that heart gets stomped into the ground when she runs to him crying, "Don't go!" Brilliant. 2) When the racist colonial (Dan Scott played by Donal Logue) tells the slave, Occam (played by Jay A. Jones) as they are preparing for battle, "I am honored to have you with us. Honored." It shows the spirit of what the war was SUPPOSED to be about. It is a shame that more of THAT sort of spirit was not kept from the war.

Gibson took a number of stories surrounding the Revolutionary officer Francis Marion (Swamp Fox) and the British officer Banastre Tarleton in the running battles in South Carolina. They really pumped it up on both sides however Marion had learned the indigenous methods and tactics during service in the French and Indian wars. Tarleton was considered brutal even by the standards of the day. Gabriel was his father and a brother but I don't know of any of his children by that name. Marion has been credited as the father of guerilla warfare. He never had more that 50 to 70 men but he kept a large part of the British army in the south off balance and stuck trying to catch him. It made a big difference to Washington's campaign in the north and Cornwallis loss in the south.

Battles were fought in lines like that because the weapon at the time was the Musket, which didn't have any rifling. Rifles did exist but they were hard to make and gunpowder at the time burned pretty dirty, leaving a thick film that you would have a very hard time cleaning out of any rifling in the middle of a battle. Muskets were inaccurate so your best bet at hitting anything is to mass your troops together and organize them into lines so that you could fire in volleys. Even so you saw the result, an entire line would fire and maybe a handful of men would be hit.

@peterharrison5833 Жыл бұрын

Yes. Also, something I read years ago about the muskets of the time was that they were good to about 40 yards. So....line up in a row within site of the enemy, load your weapon, and be ready for the order to fire. Then duck....

@meminustherandomgooglenumbers Жыл бұрын

The other reason for standing in lines is cuz horses will refuse to charge an unbroken line. But if one guy is missing, then the horses will crash right thru instead, and that’s when cavalry starts to wreck everything.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’” Michael W Smith

I am a former U.S. Army Captain, and the tactics of the period were required by the weapons. Muskets lacked range and accuracy, so it was necessary to mass the weaponry to achieve victory. Benjamin Martin, the “Ghost,” is loosely based on Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox.” Tavington is loosely based on Banastre Tarleton, who actually survived the war. If you want to see more of his evil, watch the movie, Amazing Grace.

A pretty good representation of the sacrifices made by those who won our independence from the most powerful nation on the planet. Success was far from guaranteed. In fact, it was very unlikely and improbably won. (The William Tavington character is influenced by Banastre "the Butcher" Tarleton and Benjamin Martin by Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion.) Happy Independence Day.

A large scale duel at ten paces; we added snipers to the mix. The goal of a duel was to bravely face your opponent and be a more accurate shooter than they are. Winners were the ones left standing, especially if you brought more men. Gun and sword duels are tribalism with weaponry when diplomacy fails, whether mano e mano or en mass.

@bbwng54 Жыл бұрын

A very popular film that is mostly historically inaccurate. Tavington is a caricature of Banastre Tarleton, who never burned a church filled with people. The concept of "no quarter" (eg "Tarleton's quarter") was characteristic of warfare when no quarter was given to an enemy who refused to surrender. Atrocities were performed by both the Americans (Pyle's defeat, end of King's Mountain) and the British (Waxhaws). The resemblance of Mel Gibson to Francis Marion is thin- Marion did live in the swamps around Snow's island and did recruit small numbers of men of different backgrounds.

39:34 this is so symbolic. The tattered flag pulled off the field after a crushing defeat. And when Gabriel retrieved it the soldier remarked, “It’s hopeless. It’s a lost cause.” Which had twofold meaning. One, that the flag was beyond repair. And two, that the Cause, the Cause of Liberty, was lost. But Gabriel patched the flag. He saved the tattered lost cause. And that flag is the symbol of hope for the Cause of Liberty. And it’s that symbol and hope that gives Benjamin the strength to keep fighting.

@ironman0917 Жыл бұрын

Mel Gibson's character is very loosely based on a man very well known here in South Carolina. His name was Francis Marion. The "Swamp Fox". His guerrilla tactics tied up and harassed the British Army for a couple of years here in SC. The Colonel Tavington in the movie is loosely based on Colonel Banastre Tarleton, a Dragoon, under the command of Lord Cornwallis. Tarlton is well know as being very ruthless and cold blooded. The final battle scene in the movie is based on an actual battle. The Battle of Cowpens, near the small town of Chesnee, South Carolina, which was a victory for the Americans, and the turning point in the Revolutionary War. Francis Marion was not at this battle, but Tarlton was. Also, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of the 2nd World War, studied the tactics of Francis Marion the "Swamp Fox" and applied some of them in WW II and hence was to be known as the "Desert Fox". Playing off of Marion's "Swamp Fox" name.

To quote Thomas Jefferson about slavery, " It was like holding a wolf by the ears, you didnt like it but you didnt dare let it go" Our economy was agricultural depended upon slavery. Letting them go in 1783 would have destroyed what little economy we had. Many did want to do just that but the economic pressure made slavery a necessary evil for the time. Not until the industrial revolution of the 1820's and on did slavery begin to become obsolete, especially in the north. The south however having better climates, still held on to an agricultural economy. The slavery issue would be resolved during our civil war far more brutal than the revolutionary war.. The south argued that states should determine the slavery issue and felt the topic becoming more federal in which they were outnumbered, hence secession triggering our civil war. As Shelby Foote a famous civil war historian put it in simple but effective terms, before our civil war it was the United States are, afterwards it was the United States is....Though it took 90 years to finally free slaves, we did and our founding ideals began to catch up, they still are today. Hope this perspective helps from an American who is a student of history

It's not that they're delusional to know what's happening, they're just praying for the souls of those men who were hanged and for their safety. While it seems strange to others, it does give many great comfort knowing despite everything, at least there is hope even if it's minuscule to help you take each day one at a time. At least you're alive, you know? At least you're well while evil takes a hold of the land once again. The battle of good and evil is very real. Also God is peace, so they find comfort in their Savior Jesus Christ and know that He won't forsake them/will give them comfort in their time of need. Many can say what they want, but until they really experience the true nature of God and His only Son...every one of them will find it stupid and ridiculous...But it really is not at all that way.

Almost 200 years of experimentation went into developing the infantry tactics that pertained during the Revolutionary War. As others have said, the muskets they used were able to hit a man-sized target at 75 meters or closer. The long lines of men firing their weapons in unison was, in effect, a human-powered machine that fired a mass of projectiles in a pulse every 15 seconds or so. it was advantageous for opposing armies to close the distance between them as rapidly as possible so that their first volley would score the most hits, and result in the greatest damage to the enemy facing them. Well trained soldiers could load and fire four shots per minute, and when several lines of men each of 100 guys standing shoulder to shoulder learned how to fire their weapons in unison, in rapid succession, then their rather inaccurate weapons could have a devastating effect on the opposing army.

Mel Gibson is American born in NY

Mel actually has dual citizenship, but not the way that you would think! He has both Irish and American citizenship, and is an Australian permanent resident!

Well, Mel Gibson is American by brith too and I believe Heath Ledger was naturalized. I also think it's funny how many reactors who aren't American get into this movie by the end. Now you kind of get why the allure of American rah rah is so alluring that few of us can totally resist it.

13:51. Weapons of that era were horribly inaccurate. The only way armies can effectively do damage to each other is if they have loads of those guns firing off close together. Also they HAD to stay together, they didn't have radios. All they had to relay commands were trumpets/bugles, drums & fifes/flutes.

For historical perspective: 1. The Patriot - 2000 ( takes place 1776 Charleston, South Carolina ) 2. Last of The Mohicans - 1992 ( takes place 1757 Upstate colonial New York ) 3. The Mission - 1986 ( takes place 1750 Argentina/Paraguay Igauza Falls ) I consider the trio as companion films as they foster a sense of how difficult and brutal colonial life was for everyone. Please add the other two to your watch lists. Thank you. 😊❤

One of the things I liked about this movie was how it showed corruption on both sides of the conflict. Benjamin already had his demons. Cornwallis was arrogant but had a sense of honor… but the conflict eventually caused him to betray his own code. Even Gabriel strayed when he sought revenge against Tavington. He went against his own ideals and failed to stay the course. But that’s war, it’s not always so black and white.

Mel is sort of like ACDC. Yeah, they are Australian, but they moved there. Mel is American. Most of ACDC is from Scotland. I think it was for economic reasons.

I always admired that someone is willingly sacrificing life for something greater.and also i always saw this as a foolish approach in life for many reasons. Those who serve/veterans returning home are kinda unappreciated saying mildly. many are homeless etc. I also thought the young lady's speech at the church was kinda hilarious. Shouldn't it be considered a shaming tactic by modern standards? not to mention that these days men are perceived as toxic. but when war times come or any shiet happens. suddenly it's so beautiful to die to protect others. Modernity drove us to a real weird point in space and time.
