"Patriot" film review - American Revolutionary War version of "Braveheart"

This is a movie from 2000. From the current perspective, it is still a good movie. If you exchange this movie with "Braveheart", I believe that the achievements of "Braveheart" can also be achieved.

The story tells the story of the militia during the American Revolutionary War. After reading it, I finally understand why the United States allows citizens to own guns. It turns out that the American militia is the number one in the world. No wonder the human militia in "Warcraft" is so powerful. The storyline is very similar to Braveheart, and the scenes and other elements are similar, I really think so. The film tells a story about fighting for the enemy for freedom and for his family. The protagonist himself is a hero and wants to be free, but he doesn't want to fight. friends, fight with enemies.

After reading this, I have a few thoughts:
Did people really fight that much at that time? It looks really stupid, are the officers all idiots? The two teams stood side by side and shot at each other! Not at all tactical. Before there were no tactics, did they think it was wrong to ambush, or not at all.
The protagonist led 2 children under the age of 10 and killed 20 fully armed British Royal soldiers by tactics. This point shows that
the British Colonel in the regular army's tactical LJ film was actually a very formidable opponent. It's a pity that under the command of an incompetent general, he is doomed to fail. If the colonel is the general, the outcome of the war may also change.
I am also moved by that black slave, who is obviously free, but for the sake of freedom or volunteer to fight

    Militia + guerrilla warfare. The rhythm of burning the church was too fast, not a single corpse was seen, and then the eldest son quickly found the enemy to fight, and finally the father returned to him in his own way.

    A country, a country has a home. The main theme, but unfortunately I can't get rid of the idea that they are fighting in a nest... Sitting in a row, shooting guns, and accompanied by a small song, it is too clumsy, it took thousands of years to realize that it is necessary to fight guerrillas. The biggest failure was to find Jason Isaacs as the villain, which made me feel that Col. Tavington was too mean and wanted to lick the screen for a while. (175min)
