Welcome to red, white and blue Braveheart! This July 4th, come celebrate America's birthday with us as we discuss 2000's epic of (barely) historical proportions!
The Patriot is a historical war film written by Robert Rodat, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Mel Gibson, Chris Cooper, Heath Ledger and Jason Isaacs. The story takes place mainly in rural Berkeley County in South Carolina and depicts Benjamin Martin (Gibson), an American colonist opposed to going to war with Great Britain who, along with his adult son (Ledger), gets swept into the Revolutionary War when his home life is disrupted and one of his sons is murdered by a cruel British officer (Isaacs). Rodat has said Martin is a composite character based on four historical men: Andrew Pickens, Francis Marion, Daniel Morgan and Thomas Sumter.
Benjamin Martin: "Before this war is over I'm going to kill you."
Col. Tavington: "Why wait?"
Pitch Meeting Guy: "So the movie can happen!"
