I now live in York County, SC, and I have visited all the film locations in York & Chester County, and visited the actual Cowpens Battlefield 30 miles away in Cherokee County. I live a few miles from Nanny's Mountain where ore was mined to make cannon balls for the Continental Army..

[@FredPickett]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@PatriciaM64]

A wonderful movie with wonderful, talented actors! Very patriotic!

[@RaDHeyward]

Some filmed at Stratford Hall, VA, one of the most important and historical homes in America in addition to being the home of the Lees!

[@jordansanchez3813]

To be able to see those ships in port like that would be beyond amazing. Everytime I watch this movie I am transported. Great humour too.

[@nicosy282]

It made me appreciate the history of the American Revolution for the freedom of our country

It made it such a great movie to have a really bad guy though. Screen writing rule to make the bad guy badder. If we made it 100% accurate, would it have been as entertaining? 😍

The Only Version Of 2000's The Patriot That I Prefer Is The Original Theatrical Version (165 Mins).

[@user-wu4rt2mt5j]

Mel's best movie❤

[@mattclayer6541]

And Roland Emmerich's best movie

The statement, "war should be avoided at all costs, but is sometimes necessary," is a contradiction in terms. If war is sometimes necessary, that means there are costs which must not be incurred to avoid it, and that it is the threat of incurring those costs that we war against.

I’m here for Heath Ledger.

[@user-ck8qk5yw3i]

I never got line warfare. Always use to make fun of it. The logic is sound though. Concentrate your forces and just push through, no one opposing in the same fashion? You just take their city. Also the logistics available would not have been able to effectively supply a splintered guerrilla army

Without stating the obvious the Smithsonian is a guy called Smith who just happened to be British. Would we let you be and have your independence because we have enough for you we had more important issues in mainland Europe than the periphery of the 13 colonies because we made more money from the Caribbean with sugar trade?

[@arielg7000]

so not real and who cares

[@sburris65]

I just watched it again on TV while we're visiting Charleston. One of the reasons I love the movie so much.

[@Ohiopatriot1776]

I love it because they picked great actors with such range to portray their characters

[@finsfan90]

This will always be such a great movie. It gets way too much unnecessary hate for not being 100% historically accurate. But this is Hollywood. What movie has ever been 100% accurate?

[@rizzlebazzle5845]

finsfan90 if Britain made a film about America burning churches and using slavery, massacring civilians etc they'd cry in rage, yet when it's the other way round it's "just Hollywood"

[@mynamablegg8707]

RizzleBazzle hollywood is in America

[@rizzlebazzle5845]

My nama Blegg yea no shit

[@stantheman0091]

finsfan90 people will never realize how much work went into this movie and the 1000’s of actors they had to get

[@diamondbeatz9507]

Amen to that...

[@HighSpeedyPeady]

Thank you frenchy! Vive la france.

[@NoticerOfficial]

Thank you sire, where do you stand today sire

[@duelinglectrics]

All in all this was one hell of a time period. The sacrifice and honour of so many here and in all fairness each side did so well in there struggle , America certainly held the ground tho , I am not American , but I would also like to say if those American boys didn't stand up to push Cornwallis back and hold him in place Washington would have been crushed well before the French even arrived . So good on the hard press gentleman . It surely had also won the day

[@NoticerOfficial]

theHarshness it makes you think would the sane thing be possible today? with tech being what it is, would it even be possible to overthrow tyranny, build you own nation and come out on top with what a truly tyrannical government could do now.

[@bcchiriac4512]

It always amazes me how the farmers fought in militias and won there freedom with the help of the French! Big respect of France, our closest ally as An American!

[@TheCHUDMARANI]

am from india.My grandmother saw the british army when she was 08 years old. she told me that she saw smart & fine looking Englishmen in redcoats on horse back riding down the road of kolkata in India ,once the capital of Her Majesty's eastern empire.I saw exactly in the movie what she used to tell me.Brilliant recreation of the British Red Coats in the Movie and everything was perfect.I have watched the movie 18 times

[@robburgess5344]

First off I love this movie, don’t get wrong. But we shouldn’t be surprised at the historical inaccuracy. The screenwriter literally says “1776 things looking dark for the patriots... defeats at Camden... Cornwallis pushing north”. The Battle of Camden wasn’t until 1780 lol

[@HighSpeedyPeady]

haha!

TBF, it could've been two separate statements cut together to condense it into a sound bite.

[@chesterpulido5495]

Movies back then were more "realistic" movies today are much more like highly polished video game 3d intros..sometimes so boring to watch

[@pyrrhusofepirus8491]

Chester Pulido watch goodfellas, Waterloo and Tora Tora Tora and then tell me that they were boring

[@Ohiopatriot1776]

@@pyrrhusofepirus8491 I believe you are both right because the movies that you mentioned and this movie are in my opinion far greater than the movies of today

Who gives a fuck? It's a very entertaining and well done movie!

In what? I personally find it faithful to History, I'm it's not documentary but still pretty educational
