It offends me as American w/how pathetically inaccurate it is. The Patriot is a TRASH movie. The love this board gives it is baffling.

It's not total trash but it's deliberately bubble-gum to appeal to the masses...as a Summer blockbuster popcorn movie.

I don't know why the Brits would really take that much offence (as they would say) to it. That's like Cliff Clavin getting upset over how inaccurate The Postman is.

I hate how the movie went out of its way to portray Gibson's character as a guy with no slaves, but free laborers.

I mean, this is 18th century South Carolina and Gibson's character was a plantation owner. Lets be real here.

Baffles me too. It's not even comically bad.
