There was another part I liked, I guess. When his youngest daughter didn't speak to him until he left, then she begged him not to go. That part choked me up a bit.
Its too pro americain. Not that i have anything against them. I dont think any attrocities were commited by the British during the Revolution as was shown when the English dude [SPOILER - highlight to read]: burned the whole town dow

All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
oh there were atrocities comited sadly coz at that point the king was crazy and i mean crazy in my mind that war should never have happened.... we should have gave america it's independence in the first place and saved a lot of lives (british and american)
as regards to the film it was brilliant, a real tear jerker!

Well actually Britain needed the Americans to pay for the previous war against the French. So they taxed them. If they didnt tax them, than Britain would need to tax their people instead of the Americans. If they gave the Americans their independence, than they would lose one of their prosperous colonies. This is all according to my histroy course i did.

I was living in South Carolina when this movie was filmed, mostly in the Pee Dee region, but some in Charleston. Believe me if my transmission had been working I would have tried to get a job as an extra. It is historically inaccurate as it was based on the life of the Swamp Fox, who did not have any children during the war and did not marry until after the war, but it did caprtue the spirit of his way of fighting the Brits during the war.
Does anyone know the instramental song in the patriot? I forget what party its at but its sort of in a lot of movies. I think its right at the beggining of the movie. Or right at the way end when they show the last battle just begginging before Yorktown.
