The theme should be Stay the cause

The so-called patriot was a concept full of contradictions when the North American colonies first rebelled. The performance of the protagonist is probably a typical elaboration. At the beginning, he continued to be a docile citizen of Britain, because the protagonist who participated in the Seven Years' War and presided over the torture and killing of prisoners of war knew the combat effectiveness of red coats, and also knew the cruelty of war distorting human nature.
However, after the repeated destruction of civilians by the British army, the patriotic object of the protagonist seems to have turned to the newly established United States. Mel Gibson was Wallace (Braveheart) in Scotland and the Ghost leader of the militia in North America. He was a professional anti-British...
Even so, the concept of patriotism gave way to the so-called cause many times in this film, and American value keywords such as liberty and freedom.
The two muzzle-to-muzzle battles in the film are very exciting. The 18th century flintlock guns lined up to shoot the battle is really a test of nerves and luck.

The Patriot quotes

  • Colonel William Tavington: [Tavington's searching for Martin] ... I wish to know his whereabouts. So, anyone who comes forward may be forgiven their treason.

    [silence]

    Colonel William Tavington: Very well, you had your chance.

    [turns about to leave]

    Hardwick: Wait!

    [Hardwick tells Tavington everything]

    Colonel William Tavington: Thank you very much. Shut the doors!

    Hardwick: But you said... we'd be forgiven!

    Colonel William Tavington: And indeed you may! But that's between you and God.

  • Gabriel Edward Martin: [as he is lying there wounded, and sees his father appear] Father...

    Benjamin Martin: Shh... don't talk, don't talk.

    Gabriel Edward Martin: [gasps for air, groans] Father. I'm sorry...

    Benjamin Martin: Ssh, be quiet. I'm going to take care of you. You're going to be all right.

    Gabriel Edward Martin: Pa. I'm sorry about Thomas.

    Benjamin Martin: Oh son, that wasn't your fault.

    [Gabriel lets out a soft groan]

    Benjamin Martin: That was mine.

    [Gabriel gasps for final breaths of air]

    Benjamin Martin: Hold on, you're gonna be all right... Don't go. Gabriel, don't...

    [Ben sobs quietly while touching his son's face]

    Benjamin Martin: [cries and whispers] Oh! God help me. God help me.
