Review of The Patriot (2000) by Dxnld — 22 Jun 2017
Perhaps the most horrendous depiction of 'history' I've ever witnessed. Never, ever, in all my days, have I seen a movie so reckless in it's portrayal of history. The first problem the movie contains is a lack of any recognition of Slavery in America.
The main character is based of a revolutionary hero who, owned, raped and killed his slaves as he wished. In fact American Slavery is completely ignored and the arrogant slave owning masters are now British.
.. Just bizarre. The second problem lies in the portrayal of the British Army as Nazi's. A war crime is created (the burning church scene) in order to paint the British as monsters. This event did actually happen might I point out, in 1944 by the Nazis against a French town, literally making the British Appear as Nazis! People do take away lessons from movies and the blatant Anglo-Phobia and rampant lies this movie sells, in a shocking attempt to shove propaganda down your throat, making me feel physically sick.
