The Patriot
We have been watching "The Patriot" in history VS Hollywood. Personally, this movie was just okay for me. Although some parts were very intense and kept you on your feet, some parts I did not think were too interesting. "The Patriot" was in the time of the revolutionary war. The characters included a widowed American dad with his children.
The plot of this movie was based on a war between the British and the Americans. The father did not want to get involve in any kind of fighting while his sons could not wait to sign up to fight. He then had to choose between protecting his sons or doing what he wanted. At the end of the movie, his son dies and he gets his revenge that he has been waiting for the whole movie.
I liked a lot of parts in the movie such as the accurate war scenes. I also enjoyed the story line of how much the American family loved each other. However, some parts were not historically accurate which I did not like. For example, during the fight they fought with guns that would hit the man spot on and kill him, when back in the day the guns were not as powerful and could not aim as well as they made it seem.
The lessons I've learned in this movie was the realistic realization of war. Watching how war works is very scary to think about when you have been in a situation like the one in the movie. I have also learned that the meaning of family was also very important back then.
The people that would love this movie the most is the people who like to learn more about history. I would rate this movie R just for the war violence in it. overall, I think this movie is around a 7.5 on a 10 scale, and I would defiantly recommend it to someone who is interested in the historical part of movies. Other then that, I do not think I will be watching this movie again any time soon.
