Ancestors

Although it is inevitable to exaggerate how the American people bravely resisted the British colonists' feat to gain freedom and build their own new world, this movie still touched me. In the original intention of watching Heath, I didn't expect the protagonist to be Mel Gibson. I don't like this old man much. Only after watching Obama’s inauguration speech yesterday, he called on American citizens to remember the ideas of their ancestors when the nation was founded, and don’t forget that the core of the nation’s speech is freedom. Watching this film today feels quite touching. People are forgetful. Has the Chinese government a little forgotten the original intention of the founding of the nation? Returning the land to the peasants, the peasants still did not live a good life.
Well, I don’t understand political issues. I see this kind of nation-building thought as a dream, and I don’t want to see dreams obliterated.
The three father and son fighting the enemy together was a good one.
At the same time, the film teaches us not to be too sharp.

    Compared to the pride of Mel Gibson in the movie, I prefer the little humor in it.

    7.2, almost catching up with the theme movie of a certain country, it's fake and scary. It is not as sensational as "Braveheart", and as profound as "Glory".

The Patriot quotes

  • Col. Harry Burwell: I'll help you bury him.

    [referring to Martin's recently killed son]

    Benjamin Martin: I'll bury him.

    Col. Harry Burwell: My wife Alexandria is with child, my first. I fight for that child... Benjamin nothing will replace your sons, but if you come with us you can justify their sacrifice.

    Benjamin Martin: Why?... Why do men feel they can justify death? Is it arrogance or...

    [voice trails off]

    Benjamin Martin: I have long feared, that my sins would return to visit me... and the cost is more then i can bear.

    Col. Harry Burwell: Benjamin, we have a chance. Green and Dan Morgen are down from Virginia. If we win this next battle victory in the war is within our grasp.

    Benjamin Martin: Go then, seek your victory. I'm a small issue to it.

    Col. Harry Burwell: You're wrong Benjamin, you matter to your men, and to others as well. Your victories and... and your losses, are shared by more then you know. Stay with us. Stay the course!

    Benjamin Martin: I have run my course.
