Blog 4 ; The Patriots

The movie The Patriot takes place during the civil war. A farmer is forced to go to fight in the war to try to win the war so that his sons didn't die for anything. The movie doesn't touch many historical parts of civil war. It just shows the conflict between the farmer, Benjamin Martin, and a British officer. I loved how they showed the battles. Many graphic scenes. I thought it was a good movie to watch. It was kind of intense at parts when they would be in the battle field. I would have loved to see more history facts in it. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and how the actors acted. I think the most part that touched my heart is when at the end they include the African American as practically a family member and don't see him as a slave anymore. My overall grade would be a B+ .
