There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The patriot is an excellent film both on the side of the cast and on the plot, which hides a very deep meaning behind the protagonist (Mel Gibson). I strongly recommend seeing it to everyone. good vision :)

It's the story of a man, Benjamin Martin, plays by Mel Gipson, who is pacifist, doesn't like war because he know what it cost, and so he doesn't want to take part in the independance war but he's going to be forced to take part and he's going to make manythings inclued heroic action. It's also a strong family story: Benjamin Martin had lost his wife, and stay alone with he seven children with who he have very close link.I really liked this film for the psychological side of the the characters, very complex and complete. Moreover, the links between the characters of the family are so strong that it made me very sensitive and show the beautifulness of the family's love. It still some aspect that I didn't like in the film like violent action or when someone the film make you like dies. To conclued, I thing that The Partiot is a film that you should watch !

Movie Review: "The Patriot" (2000)After struggling from misfortunes in interpreting Japanese legendary city-havoking monster "Godzilla" (1998), director Roland Emmerich delivers one of his best works on U.S. American soil, retrieving major Hollywood budget striking "Independence-War" striking sequences of family-avenging Benjamin Martin, with star-powering portrayal by Mel Gibson, giving up and coming actor Heath Ledger (1979-2008) a lift to an exceptional racing career, when a further 160-Minute-Editorial by David Brenner delivers to commissioning Hollywood Studio Columbia Picture a hit movie of Summer 2000 featuring an all-time surrounding career-prevailing cast from Tchéky Karyo as advising character Villeneuve to Jason Isaacs' viscious as mesmerizing nemesis role of British Colonel Tavington to towering Tom Wilkinson and Chris Cooper that even non-American audiences must admit that motion picture of arts and science know no nationalities, frontiers or borders of any kind to bring mutually-shared movie theatre entertainment to the people.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

"The Patriot" is hardly a "patriot". Even director Roland Emmerich admitted that the title doesn't make sense in correlation with the storyline since "the patriot" is actually the least patriotic of everyone around him. He's the only one of the rebels who doesn't have any interest in fighting, being too much of a family man. Harrison called the storyline, when offered the lead role, some type of "melodrama about one man's revenge". It focuses too much on Benjamin Martin's personal revenge instead of the war as a WHOLE. Also, at the part where Tavington takes Gabriel prisoner to have him hanged, he never explains to Benjamin what "the rules of war" are. When he asks him if he'd like a lesson about them, all that comes of it is Benjamin telling him that "no lesson is necessary."
