Everything Wrong With The Patriot In 16 Minutes Or Less

It's 4th of July in America, which means we celebrate our independence. So this year we decided to go looking for sins in a very patriotic movie... The Patriot. Watch Mel Gibson single-handedly save the country, while we count the sins.
Thursday: Sins worth singing about.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

[@twilightcitystudios]

Non-talking extras get less money so he'd be paid less than you.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

When I participated in a lower class movie, extras got food, drinks and small things. They joked that they were there for the chance of acting, but that the food also helped.

[@Healermain15]

It also depends on how much time there is between acting gigs. If it takes you a whole year to get that one part as an extra, that's not much money to go around. And if you have a job on the side you can't exactly ask the filming crew to plan around that.

[@cassuttustshirt4949]

Should have shown that battle scene. I'd take away a couple sins for that. Hidden away in that scene are a couple of interesting historical details. The one that I find the coolest but is hardest to catch is that when they have close-up shots of soldiers shooting, you can see some of them look away right as as they are firing. This is so they wouldn't get powder burns from the priming powder on there face or in their eyes. Another cool detail how the British behaved when under fire. Even in the midst of a volley from the enemy with men dying all around them, the other soldiers expressions don't change, their eyes stay locked ahead, and they stay in perfect lock-step. Exactly as you'd expect from British troops at the time. Finally, while most of the cannon fire is portrayed as being shot pointlessly into the ground, there is a scene with a bouncing cannonball! YES! That's the most common way you'd use round-shot in a pitched battle like that, bouncing it through enemy ranks. Whew, sorry for the wordwall, this ended up being longer than I meant it to be. If anyone makes it through all this, I salute you.

[@lionhead123]

all that doesn't excuse the horrible inaccuracies displayed throughout the movie, including the actual plot. I mean, they have the English burn down a church.

I mean, if they could be realistic enough to show soldiers avoiding powder burns in their faces and eyes, why can't they extend that level of awesome realism to everything else? Oh, there's Mel Gibson charging with a flag. *sigh* And he's using it as a weapon *SIGH* And he lives *bigger SIGH* And he pretty much ends the American Revolutionary war with it. I'm out of sighs.

[@lucasmatiasdelaguilamacdon7798]

Sins as told by a military historian: -COCKED HATS ARE MEANT TO BE WORN TILTED SLIGHTLY TO THE SIDE -The marching pace of the soldiers seems off always. -napoleonic pattern muskets in 1776 -Camden wasn’t lost because the continentals faced the redcoats in open field. The british light infantry flanked the continentals, which btw during that battle were mostly militia, and ended them with guerrilla tactics. Also, the militia fough almost shoulder to shoulder, while the redcoats used an open formation to be less of a mass target practice. -militia forces were not that good, Washington himself said they sucked. Most if not all major battles were won by the professional continental army, not the militia. -Tarleton dragoons had a different uniform. -the order would be “make ready, present, and fire.” Not “make ready, aim, and fire.” You don’t really aim a musket. -Also, no. You don’t need to look away as you fire a musket. It’s true one can’t properly aim with one, but for obvious reasons it’s good to be sure where you point a projectile, just in case. -The swords used by the Dragoons are not from that era, can’t pin them out but they look like the French model 1821 - The redcoats wear all the same red uniform with blue sleeves. There were more than one regiment, and the 7th of Foot, the one of the blue sleeves, wasn’t present in every battle. -fire orders are still off. Soldiers fire as in a “fire by file” or “fire by section” when the NCO specifically said just “fire” which means all must fire in volley at the same time, with no delay. -Some scenes the continentals present their weapons before being ordered to do so. Not a single 1742 pattern hanger in sight, despite being the most common sidearm. -Why would a company deploy their musicians all gathered in the centre of the formation? Soldiers must hear the music to know how fast to march and when to stop. Usually every small compny would have it’s own drummer and fifer by the flank. Not having all musicians gathered at the centre of the entire army. -Not a single mention to the Kentucky Long Rifle despite it being one of the few actual guerrilla elements used in battle. The stars and striped started as a naval emblem, not very common in land battles. -The french had little to no respect or interest in arming guerrilla forces, the Prussians though, already experimented users of rifles and guerrilla tactics did. It would make more sense for a prussian officer to lead and train the militia, not a French one. - Those cannons are too big for the quick paced land battles of the War of Independence. Usually the cannons used would be 3, 4 or up to 6 pounders. Except maybe some specific battles like perhaps York Town saw bigger artilliery pieces. -Not a single Ranger or Light infantry unit for the british. -Not even the Tarleton Dragoons would even dare to burn civilians alive. That’s even considering that Bloody Ban actually deserved that name. -Also, what happened with the Hessians?? -Also, what happened with the Spanish? -Also, what happened with the Dutch? -Historically, this movie is a mess.

[@connorb1610]

LUCAS MATÍAS DEL AGUILA MAC DONALD well that’s also most of the major battles, the war was won on a lot of small battles. Guerrilla Warfare was basically used more by militia, off the top of my head Daniel Morgan and Francis Marion both were Mitzi’s and won most of their battles so I don’t agree with you there. Other than that pretty good points

[@dastemplar9681]

Just to put in a footnote, Tarleton in this movie is actually named Tavington. So they’re not the same people (yes Tavington is BASED off of Tarleton). Also Tarleton’s unit was often viewed as brutal, but only towards combatants. You are right, no massacre of civilians ever were committed. There was an incident in the Battle of Waxhaws, 1780, in which he attempted to accept a truce from a surrendering Continental unit, however, someone shot his horse from underneath him during the proceedings and he became trapped underneath his dead horse. Fearing their commander had been killed, his dragoons and nearby regulars began to slaughter many of the American troops, many of whom who were clearly unarmed. It wasn’t until he was freed from his dead horse that he got the killing to stop, but already 113 were dead and 150 were severely wounded. This event was what gave him the title; the Butcher and his unit’s reputation. Of course, it was far from his fault but having nearly 263 Americans killed and wounded in a slaughter certainly did no good to one’s reputation.

In the deleted scenes, they show how Tavington got the list of names. The bounty hunter who spit tobacco and left after their first major defeat was captured and tortured by Tavington, as well as several others. He gave the names.

The tradition of bindling bags (the whole sewing people into bags) was common in that era and previously. Given many people traveled a very long distance to visit other people having your guests sleep over was extremely common. (Especially considering some people traveled by horse for days to visit others or conduct business) If a gentleman was coming to court (date) someone’s daughter it was very common that they would allow the gentleman to sleep in the same bed so the couple could talk and woo (if given permission to court her by her father) but the gentleman was sewed into a canvas equivalent of a sleeping bag to keep the girls virginity in tact. Co-sleeping was also common back then also so them sleeping with all the children was normal. (Referring to the sun about the whole family sleeping together in the barn)

Literally nothing about the battles was realistic: In North America, British fought differently than in Europe - in wide ranks, sort of like the light infantry of the period. They didn't slowly march towards the enemy, they jogged or walked fast, muskets pointed forward. That's why US Independence war battle casualties were so lower than European battles of the time (honestly, even the biggest battle like Bunker hill is barely a skirmish by the standards of 7 Year War or Napoleonic Wars - more soldiers died in action at Battle of Borodino in one day than in 8 years of US independence war). Secondly, bayonet charges didn't happen the way they did - usually the side charging would either break before reaching the enemy, or the enemy would break when they approach them. Slo-mo fighting bayonet-to-bayonet? Forget it, happened extremely rarely. Battle of Camden in the movie was the closest to the realistic battle of the time although it's also very imprecise. Also, muskets are depicted as too precise. And guerrilla war in the movie happened rarely and not in the way portrayed (this style of guerrilla as we know it was born in Vendee counter-revolution in France in 1793 and in Spain during Napoleonic wars) If you want to see how a realistic battle of time looked like, watch a scene ''Battle never mentioned'' from Barry Lyndon. British company is walking fast towards the French company. They withstand 2-3 volleys (each volley consisting of like 100 shots, but only around 5-10 soldiers falling every time). Scene cuts short after the captain is hit and Barry helps him, while in the background you can hear British hurrah-ing the charge, and the French yelling ''retire-vous''! (retreat!) right after that. Result of the whole battle is probably 30-40 british casualties (most just wounded), and similar number of French killed by retreating or captured).

[@JL-fc7xm]

Most of the militia in South Carolina used rifled muskets and they were accurate. The pistol shot that Tavington does is such BS though. "guerrilla war in the movie happened rarely" What???? Are you serious? Now I could understand you thinking that guerrilla war was rare in the war but the movie is about SOUTH CAROLINA not the entire war. The militia actions in South Carolina were the highest then anywhere else in the war.

It's funny because once the British were ready to make piece with the Americans, the Americans pulled out of their obligation to France.

Once the newly Independence colonies got what they wanted they left the French hanging.

Okay, you completely misunderstand what's happening when he uses the flag to run back up the hill. Flags weren't just for decoration during that time, it's how armies, particularly ones amidst all the smoke (and there was a lot in those battles) of musket fire used them to rally troops and guide troop movements. The flag carrier by note, is usually weaponless, and where that flag goes, the unit goes. So if the flag carrier suddenly breaks and runs, the unit will start to collapse, likewise, if the flag carrier charges there's a likelihood everyone else will. So in a sense that flag is more powerful than his flintlock pistol, it's "controlling" an army.

[@nonenone9680]

neoritter the fact that he used it as a weapon is the stupid part

[@laurie1183]

Ensigns were more an effective way of explaining to your commanders where your unit was. Troop movements were all coordinated by runners, the officers who ran the units, and by literal signal flags. It was true that units would go to suicidal lengths to protect the colours, but that was more focused upon the goal of protecting them or getting them out of danger. See Zulu dawn for a fucking fantastic example of this. But no, running forward with the colours was not a very practical thing to do in any case.

[@neoritter]

Sure, but he sinned him for picking it up and running with it.

[@metallipwn]

neoritter NEEEEERRRRRDDDDD

[@Weirdgus]

But running forward with the flag, as the entire unit was beginning to rout is an effective way to mobilize it back into fighting shape. Also, essentially ever since flags were ever used in war, the idea of placing a flag on a strategic point on the battlefield to signify it's capture has served as a battle-winning morale boost on countless occasion.

[@tommissouri4871]

4:28 - Different time, there was no need to torch the entire house as once started, there was almost nothing that could stop it. So set fires in the downstairs rooms and the house is gone. Being upstairs, the guns hadn't been in fire yet. 4:48 - Muskets, not rifles, most likely. And they had an accuracy to around 50 yards. This battle is probably about 50 feet distance, and kids used to hunting squirrels, rabbits, possum, racoons, and the like would have no problem hitting a target the size of a man. 4:56 - they are still under fire, so they are not going to give up being defensive and firing to go help one guy fighting one other guy. 5:05 - Clearly you have never been full of rage, or just watched your son murdered.

The last sin you missed; at that time it was illegal for someone to marry their deceased spouse's sibling; no such marriage would have been legally recognised, & any children resulting from such a marriage would be illegitimate- now, perhaps socially they mightn't have suffered much, as Benjamin was a hero of the Revolution, but legally, I don't think they had any inheritance rights. Also, I'm not defending the inaccuracies in this film (or others like it- I just think they should say 'inspired by' rather than 'based on' a true story- that way people's hopes aren't gotten up); but if a historical movie piques interest, & encourages you to learn more about *the real history*, surely that's a good thing, right? There have been plenty of people, for example, who go off about the character of 'Benjamin Martin' being based on someone who was not a great person (Francis Marion)- I'm not disputing that, but he was in fact *a composite character*, with elements from multiple historical persons including Thomas Sumter, Daniel Morgan, Nathanael Greene, Andrew Pickens, *&* Francis Marion.

[@kylegossett824]

There is no final sin. Charlotte reveals on the beach that they were not really sisters.. A fact which Benjamin admits already knowing. Other than that i agree with the rest of your comment.

[@whatever3132]

Errr...that's not what she said. She said "I'M not my sister." She did not say "SHE'S not my sister." She never said that they weren't related.

[@kylegossett824]

You are correct, i re-watched it. As far as potential inheritance; considering he had four very alive children, including two sons, at the end of the film, their offspring weren't going to get much anyway (i.e. inheritance succession laws). Regardless of legal standing, he would have to explicitly will it to them. Related or not, any inheritance would have come from her, (she obviously has money of her own) not him.
