Watch The Patriot (2000) Now: AAN.SonyPicture...
In 1776 South Carolina, widower and legendary war hero Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) finds himself thrust into the midst of the American Revolutionary War as he helplessly watches his family torn apart by the savage forces of the British Redcoats. Unable to remain silent, he recruits a band of reluctant volunteers, including his idealistic patriot son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), to take up arms against the British. Fighting to protect his family's freedom and his country's independence, Martin discovers the pain of betrayal, the redemption of revenge and the passion of love.
"Tavington....damn him, damn that man!" I'll never forget that line because it was delivered so epically.
Especially when in a deleted scene he specifically orders Tavington to wait until he gives Tavington the order to charge. If Tavington had lived after the battle, Cornwallis most likely would have had Tavington shot, maybe doing so personally.
It really was!!😂
I always thought it was funny because he says it like he was issuing an order to damn that man..lol
I love that scene. For once, these aristocrats have to put in the work.
Not the usually tea time where they simply show up, they mouth a few words, then congratulate themselves for the “tremendous” effort.

Simply because he is an actor not like you nothing but trying hard ..
This movie made me fall in love with 18th century military history.
The excellent underrated Jason Isaacs
Truly underrated
He is great in Patriot ! He matches Gibbo as the baddy
Tavington was so commited to victory that even though he knew he would be done after this battle, having been warned previously by Cornwallis not to charge prematurely, he still did it and went for the victory
If he had been successful and been able to take out or capture the enemy commander, Cornwallis would have not been able to touch him.
Tarleton was much the same in real life, that is who Tavington is based off. Only they got the uniforms wrong in this movie for the British Legion Cavalry, they had green jackets with black facings like most Loyalist Regiments did. At least they got it right that this Regiment was made up of Loyalist Americans barring Tavington. Also Tarleton didn't burn down a church with people in it. No British General did that in the Revolutionary War but Mel Gibson had to include a Nazi war crime in the movie to add plot points.
@@christophercarter6801 meaning he just wanted to make his villain more villainous
RIP to the regulars who stayed behind and took the bayonets
I always loved that detail.
Thats the beauty of it making it seem like the militia were fleeing against orders
Sun Tsu: when the enemy attacks then immediately withdraws, he's luring you into a trap.
Ah, but the militia were known for running so Morgen just wanted them to fire two shots before withdrawing because he knew the British expected them to run and he could pull them into his trap.

Losing one's leg from a cannon ball is not a good day.
The likelihood of surviving was very low.
2:05 sorry, but I find it hard to believe the British scouts weren't able to see a thousand soldiers lined up "beyond" that hill.
That is actually the more historically accurate part of this scene. This battle is based, loosely, on the Battle of Cowpens, where the Brits WERE tricked into a similar ambush.
@@wilb6657 Never underestimate the ability of officers to overestimate their position.
@@wilb6657 Never underestimate the ability of officers to overestimate their position.
As a bit of a history "buff" (?) this scene is completely historically accurate. I think we need to remember people can't look from above irregular terrain such as this; besides for hot air balloons (which have a bunch of issues on their own if you tried to use them on the battlefield), there isn't really any way to look above and beyond high and elevated terrain like this.
There's thousands of examples from the Early Modern period, before, and later, of armies successful pulling off stuff from minor tactical ambushes and hiding maneuvers (such as seen during Quatre Bras) to hiding *entire* forces behind these pieces of terrain (such as at Waterloo).
Besides, I doubt the scouts would've gotten far enough to see them in the first place. Enemy skirmishers would've stopped them and shadowed their maneuvers before they would've even gotten close to cresting the hill.

@@st9811st nor is having your ass bailed out in 2 world wars 🤫
A moderately accurate depiction of the battle of Cowpens.
Volley fire was much much less lethal than that. Best troops could not withstand more than 20% losses without fleeing. The cavalry charge was perfectly timed as historically most losses were suffered by cavalry hunting down disorganized fleeing troops. Bayonet charges were better organized and nearly never went to hand to hand combat, most of the time the attacked troops fled before contact and if they did not the attacking party would stop the charge.
They're engaging at very close range, the amount of men dropping is fine. 20% losses was for entire corps, not smaller battalions.
so...what happened at Waterloo then?.
Scottish Highland regiments were renowned for sustaining casualty rates in excess of 50 percent on a regular basis, mostly while attacking during forlorn hope type scenarios (storming well defended heights!), & even then they were still willing to attack. Scots Highlanders were bred for savage close quarter fighting.
@TheRampagingGallowglass75 let me guess, you're Scottish lol
@@TheRampagingGallowglass75 The Scottish Highlanders certainly f..... up the Danish militia in the 1807 Battle of Køge.

AMERICA WILL NOT FALL
The same spirit of American rebellion that lived in these men during the time of a great revolution, still alive, and very strong today in the citizens of this great country
Britain won lol. America sued for peace before the Battle, the news just didn't travel fast enough. Britain left you alone afterwards because they were fighting France and were fighting elsewhere too. You were kicked put of Canada when you tried your luck there later too. They really ought to teach history in your schools lol

@@davidstanton4716No, Britain lost.
@@phoenixmatthias2632 erm history text books 😆 I know you yanks are deluded but come on.
@@Justin-pe9cl no, they didn't. America sued for peace, that's an admition of defeat. Britain left you alone because fighting for wasteland when they were engaged in wars all over the world just wasn't worth the effort. Do they not teach history in American schools? It's the same when you think you won world war 2 for us. Its pathetic lol
British records indicate that muskets in volleys averaged 200 balls fired for every enemy dead (more would be injured but they would be brought away and thus unavailable for counting)
For comparison in ww2 with suppressive fire and shooting at targets in cover they averaged 3000 bullets per dead German.
Fun Fact: The Patriot Movement was British. Established in 1725 as a branch of the Whig Party. They later left the Whigs and later still changed their name to The Liberal Party and so still exist in parliament to this day. Patriots pushed for:- Civil Liberties, a fuller democracy and free enterprise. Although slavery had been stopped in England since the start of the 12th century, Patriots pushed for it to be abolished world wide. They also dreamed of spreading democracy around the world and to one day have a United Nations to end all wars. Their ideas led to riots in England and rebellion in America. My county of Yorkshire was Patriot and home to men like Rockingham and Effingham who would have American Cities, Counties and even Warships named for them. However they were very disappointed with the American Constitution that kept slavery and limited the vote to only the white property owning class or just 6% of the population. In 1782 the Patriots won here in England when Rockingham was invited to become Prime Minister. He agreed on the condition that he be allowed to set America free. One of the ironies of the conflict was that it ended with Britain moving towards the Patriot Left whilst America moved to the Tory Right.
The fact they just stood there and shot at each other is crazy
They had no choice the muskets were not very accurate
They met and fought on a battlefield, as opposed to bombing civilians to death
@@jelly.212 They were quite accurate, you could easily hit a man sized target at 200 yards. These guns were used for hunting too. The issue was the speed of reloading. It was just more effective that way in open terrain. In less open terrain you get guerilla warfare styled combat.

Meh, it's terribly historically inaccurate...and almost everything that happens in it is mind numbingly illogical and stupid.

@@betamax6080 the Brits are still mad they lost it seems
@@c.galindo9639no just very bored of Glibson and Hollywood fabricating history. Invasion Burna, U571 and Saving Private Ryan as classic examples of total lies.
@@betamax6080 The movie is mostly historical fiction, although the tactics in the final battle are loosely based upon the Battle of Cowpens.
No it is not. Cowpens was a classic double envelopment. Yes, Cornwallis was not there - it was Tarleton primarily losing the battle (he was badly wounded but got away, only to go back to Britain and push for the continuation of slavery, opposing Wesley and Wilberforce).
I don't know much about world history, but I think that movie is a great masterpiece.
Bad representation of many battles other than the guerilla warfare. Historically, the British infantry were way more lethal in volleys and usually charged the enemy lines immediately after a volley fire. Tavington had represented British cavalry commanders pretty with their central tactics being charge and be damned. I hate the scenes that British Grenadiers are losing in melee against Continental troops. British Grenadiers are the best in melee combat and bayonet charges, they're not gonna lose to Continental troops who aren't even well-fed and were mostly exhausted by marches.
Masterpiece maybe, but as far as historical accuracy goes, the majority of the movie is a completely made-up fictional narrative.
@@andywilliams7323 Hollywood history. Piece of crap.
For a film called “the patriot” I could never understand why it chooses to spend most of its time looking at the lives of the traitors instead of following the patriotic young cavalry captain played by the excellent Adam Baldwin.
This is the ONLY time i don’t mind seeing the Jack flipped to and landing on the ground!
I'm a Yank,but even I felt a little uncomfortable seeing the Union Jack being tossed around like that.

As I like to say to a history buff acquaintance of mine, just to annoy him, "The Patriot is a great movie not only for its entertainment value, but also for its historical accuracy."
I think I would hit the ground when I hear the opposing officer give the command to fire.
It was so loud, soldiers could barely hear their own officers.
Those guns are incredibly loud, your ears would be ringing and be diminished in hearing, as a soldier fighting an entire campaign, the ear damage racks up. That's why they have drummers and flag bearers so infantry can get an idea of what's going on in the chaos of battle.
Scene based loosely on the Battle of Cowpens where British forces faced a double envelopment. The battle turned the tide in the southern campaign.
Imagine convincing a couple of thousand blokes to line up, not move, and just shoot at each other... bright... really bright...
That was how you maximized your firepower at the time.
@@Justin-pe9cl call it what you like but from where the soldiers are standing I'd say it looks like voluntary execution.
@@lukeaaron5588 Because this movie isn’t accurate.
@@Justin-pe9cl so.... the officers didn't order the soldiers to line up and shoot each other?
@@lukeaaron5588 They did but at a greater distance.
Modified Cannae Tactic-- Strategically surrender the center, while allowing the enemy to come thru only to be confronted with an awaiting ambush as they charge over the hill... The original tactic had the enemy come thru the center with the people only retreating a certain distance only to be surrounded by banks of soldiers on their flanks and Calvary if they were to retreat.... it resulted in the worst defeat in Roman history.
This is what happens when Americans watch braveheart and say, “we want this to be about us”
Fun fact: Mel Gibson went back in time in a secretly developed time machine to help the Scots beat the English in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, in which, unaccountably, the bridge went missing. Scottish people are still looking for it.
He’s a really great villain !!
No worries General Cornwallis you may no longer need to Damn that man 😢 RIP Ledge
Cornwallis: Tavington! Damn him! Damn that man!
Well General, whenever you deal with the devil... You should expect to be burned.
They just kill me how they just stood there and shot at each other.
Belive it or not thts how battles were fought at that time.
So whoever have more men will win?
@@PandaPi123Moral and mental state of the troops also played a role. A smaller but rested regiment of battle hardened veterans could defeat a larger regiment of novices...
@@PandaPi123 It is not a battle of attrition. You are assuming that every volley fire takes an enemy and vice-versa. Well trained troops can fire 2-3 bullets per minute and there are 20 guns pointed in the same direction *because* not every bullet will land.
That said, I still wouldnt be able to participate in a battle using Napoleonic tactics.
“Bandit charge we’ll see who takes the glory from this field” Gotta turn of those subtitles...
Adam Baldwin would fight for the British today too
Dont talk about animal mutha like that!

@@gladius2489 that's not even remotely true

Untill 1905, when mister John Shovelton invernted the "shovel", which was also the intention of digging trenches and taking cover.
Recreation of the battle of cowpens , a double envelopment victory of american forces under morgan against vanquished British regulars and colonial loyalist under Tarleton. Cornwalis pursued the American forces into North Carolina and Virginia until the Yorktown surrender soon after

Another of Gibson's "historical" comics with about as much accuracy as a road runner wiley coyote episode.
@frankmcdonnell7377 True, but it will always be Braveheart that takes the biscuit.
Dans ce film un peu orienté,le rôle ESSENTIEL des troupes françaises,les conseils judicieux de Rochambeau à Washington et enfin le blocus des vaisseaux de l'Amiral De Grasse sont largement sous-estimés.
Mais je n'en suis pas surpris.
They did get more help from the French (and Spanish, and some German / Polish officers). The filmmakers couldn't fit everything in - some battles are composites also. Still a great film, and probably the best quality American Revolution film (apart from the fine Geo Washington miniseries).
So we use to just stand in straight lines and take turns shooting at each other. Also they need to bring back the background battle orchestra
This was right after we stood in lines poking each other with sticks.
The weapons weren't terribly accurate, their most lethal part was the pointy thing on the end. If you wanted to hit anything you needed massed musketry and if you wanted to be effective up close you needed a massed bayonet charge.
Groups in formation could hear orders from officers and work together. They easily defeated scattered groups.
Wasn't until the machine gun, bombs, and radios that formation fighting ended.
The instruments and flags were used to issue orders. Grouping the men together like that helped with command and control (this is before the advent of radios after all) and so allowed for greater firepower as muskets aren't that accurate beyond 100 metres.
@@societyofrobots Armies did stop with that type of formations and focused more on fire and maneuver and using cover before the first world war. Problem was that they really didn't have an answer to trench warfare. The end of the war saw all the lessons learned combined and put into use by both sides.

The only thing they got right but dulled down to the very minimum was the enormous amount of help the colonials got from France and Spain.
