      The Patriot--A Touching Movie Film About Life And Death

      I just started watching this video because it was homework from our UK-US profile teacher. I always didn't like watching these kinds of war movies before, because I thought the plot was too boring and the scenes were too bloody. But after watching this film, I found that my mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. There are many touching scenes. When Gabriel runs to the church to recruit the militia, the patriots rise up. When Gabriel got married, Susan cried and said, "Daddy...

      Tucao: What happened to the main theme movie?

      Suddenly I don't want to talk anymore.
      The main theme is not each other. The main melody here is disgusting, how come it makes you disgusting by crossing over there?
      Are you a cynic, a wanderer who hates all themes?
      Are you a person who deconstructs everything and loves to read negatives? Born to hate all canon?

      How to write a movie review for the Patriots?

      The Patriots movie is a bit early, I watched it when I was a child, but now I am impressed.
      If you evaluate this movie according to today's worldview, it may get a very low score, because the worldview of this movie is seriously derailed from the worldview of today's United States. Today's American society is not necessarily concerned with the outdated words on the Declaration of Independence. They have entered a relatively dark age. People are not brainless fans of the executive, nor are...

      everyone is a hero

      Recently, I have been watching war-themed films. In order to better understand the film, I have also checked a lot of information, and madly made up for the debt I owed to the history teacher when I was studying. "Patriot" is also a film that reflects the theme of the American Revolution, starring Mel Gibson. In this film, he plays Benjamin Martin, a veteran of the Seven Years' War between Great Britain and the Indians, who is also a A widower with 7 children. Benjamin, who had experienced a...

      cherish peace

      It was very shocking after watching it. Benjamin played very well, a heroic father. At first, I hated Jia Bailie, and all the losses were caused by him. Later, I realized that he was very patriotic and understood the meaning of family. The war is really very cruel. No matter whether the warring parties win or lose, they will suffer heavy losses. So many children have been frightened since childhood, which is very pitiful, but their appearance is really good. We are fortunate to be born in a...

    Preliminary work

    The screenwriter Robert Rodart and the producer Mark Gordon are very interested in the theme of the American Revolution. The early creation of the film began in 1996. The final theme of the film is that you cannot save your family unless you are willing to be in the torrent of the independence war that saves all families and appear on the side of the patriots.
    After Columbia bought Rodart's script, the producers Gordon and Levinson...

    Shooting process

    During the filming, Gibson on the set surprised the crew every day. For example, when shooting a scene, the camera runs at a low speed of 40 frames per second, but Gibson returns the camera to normal speed because he can do slow motion.
    The film is telling a story about saving a family, and during the filming process, the crew is also filled with a family atmosphere, because Ute Emmerich and Roland Emmerich are the producers and...
