History observed through Hollywood goggles
The American war of independance through red, white and blue tinted glasses. I recommend you don't see this movie. If you like romanticised Hollywood history lessons, see "Revolution" with Al Pacino. Much better film, much better story. "The Patriot" truly is patronising and should rightly insult your intelligence. Mel Gibson has actually been in a couple of decent films, but this is utterly rancid cheese.
