I know its a clickbaity title...but still, I find it difficult to classify the arrogant Tavington as a fool, since he also cut down half his male heirs. Fools usually dont go successfully halving the things you love.
*spoiler alert* I agree....I remember watching this movie in the theaters when it was out and the entire crowd cheered when Mel Gibson killed Tavington at the end.
His wife made him " a gentle man ". Do I need to remind you who and what he was before he met his lady love? Why are the Tavingtons of this world are always pissing off and turning into blood enemies all the wrong people???
Jason Isaacs played a nice guy in a couple of West Wing episodes and he is such a good actor I was able to like him in that role, because his characters were so vile and scary in this role and Harry Potter . Great actor.
Truer words have never been spoken, such a cliche plagiarized statement from me. But people have no idea of the reckoning that can be had by a group of men with nothing to lose and everything to stand for. Righteous will always prevail because our Good Lord says so!
To this day, my favorite movie villain. He was cruel, a snob, but was an absolute badass, would jump off his horse and go right into a fight. I remember being in a crowded theater when you thought he was dead the first time, the whole place erupted. When it turned out he wasn't, the boos and popcorn flying around was crazy. Jason Isaacs played that character so damn good.
He's not a coward- he's recklessly brave sometimes. But him not even trying to hear Martin like he's not a rich landowner who could be useful if he became a Loyalist but a high school janitor of some sort- what the hell is this??? It's still Martin's land! It's not like he was harboring spies- he gave shelter and care to the wounded Reb soldiers! It's like Martin's land is already Tavington's! God, he's so " West Ukrainian " it's nauseating!
He wasn't a badass. He was a dragoon which meant he was only willing to engage from a major advantage. He abused his power at all times. He was cruel all for the sake of his own gain and he broke all rules whenever possible. He was entirely loathsome.
@@tatianalyulkin410 Agreed with your sentiment until the Ukraine comment and I realized how ignorant you are. It's a shame someone with such potential can be so blatantly braindead

The field hands explain to the Red Coats that they aren’t slaves, they just live on Martan’s land because it’s easier for them to make a living than to pack up and go elsewhere. The nanny likely was a second mother to those kids, having helped raised many of them from birth. She’s naturally protective of them.
In Lucious Malfoy’s defense, that was a stupid move by the kid, what did he expect 😆I’m just going to overpower 2 men as a 12 year old, in your dream kid.
Well, yeah- they kind of DO! They expect terror, trauma, instant defeat- not you living on rage for 10 years. The Tavingtons of this world are not very smart, are they?
This is still one of the best battle scenes ever written! A man and his 2 pre-teen boys face off against a full regiment of soldiers to save his other son and survive!
Regular colonists had the guts and was even willing to put their lives on the line to fight a corrupt government an ocean away. We need to do the same thing since a similar government is on the same continent.
It is truly astounding how Jason Isaacs "went there" with this character. You didn't know if you crossed paths with him if he was going to either shoot you or slit your throat, Colonel Tavington, one of the scariest screen villains of all time. He showed zero remorse.
@@jayvee8502 Guys, he had no point of reference. His father was a rich landowner- he wasn't used to Ben being abused by a Tavington- some stupid Cossack! In a blink of an eye his clan lost everything- and he was way too young to deal with it.
You have no idea of what a civil war is, do you? Yes, all that talk about being a Reb- yet Ben's children were brought up as English gentlemen and expected to be treated as such. They had no point of reference as to how to deal with someone like Tavington.
the movies Tavington was based on the real atrocities of Banastre Tarleton who actually killed civilians in both New Kent County and Albemarle.County Virginia .. Tarleton burned churches in Charlottesville, Virginia and South Carolina … Washington let British soldiers including Tarleton return to England to prove to the world that America was a civilized nation … I personally would have given the Brits “no quarter “ !!!
Tartleton was a single commander though as far as im aware he did not burn any churches though as far as im aware. Its likely he'd have destoryed civillian property as both sides would of done including george washington who attempted to raise new york to the ground once the british captured it after the battle of long island. it also didn't stop americans slaughtering pacifist christian tribes who declared neutrality durring the war. Both sides in this war were just as bad as the other.
Back in the day when your father tell you to do something or gives you a gun (in this case) and you just stand up ready to take orders and direction from him
As a father, I just wished Mel Gibsons character didnt let Thomas die with the last things he heard being "Stupid boy". Extra heart wrenching to me as a new daddy to baby boys...damn oxytocin making my eyes water 🥲
Having fought in war before he knew that wasn't the time to take his revenge. At that moment he was outnumbered . He had to think about the rest of his family and get Gabriel back before he, too, was murdered. Benjamin knew he needed to choose the time, place, and manner of his revenge
I am not a father, but if things go like they seem to be going I will have a child with a girl who I consider was beyond my wildest dreams. I didn’t know I could like so much about a person. I am so grateful to be with her and looking forward to the future. But man, even though right now I don’t have a child, if someone did that to my child. There is literally nothing that’s out of bounds for the person who did that. I would do anything. And that’s genuinely a scary person to leave alive. Also I do love how at 4:05, the British officer that carried out his orders knew how horrific what he did is, a boat load of suumariale executions. was probably ashamed and was sad that these children witnessed it. He’s not proud at all, he’s ashamed.
When people ask if the 2nd amendment is outdated or needs more regulation…this is why it’s by far the most important amendment. People are naive and think we live in a world where governments won’t act like this anymore.
Maynmar is the most modern example. The military literally overthrew the democratic government, and when the people went to the streets to protest, the soldiers were ordered to shoot them. Many were killed, but the backlash has been insane. The rebel groups, which were very fringe and had little support, gained vastly in manpower and influence. As of to date, they’ve taken over somewhere between a quarter to a third of the country.
It's worse than that. It's not that they think their government won't act like this, it's that they think, if the time comes, their government will protect them.
Redcoat awoke the demon that day! Benjamin had built a peaceful life for himself and his family, then this happens. "You cannot truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of violence you're not peaceful, you're harmless."
For a foolish rant, one of the greatest cinematic talents, in terms of acting and directing was cancelled. I would take Mel any day over Roman Polanski or Woody Allen
Haha look up the war of 1812 and how the US sued for peace. Didn’t all go how the US history books stated. Once Britain finished off Napoleon and sent experienced troops across the Atlantic the US very quickly realised they had a problem.
Because 90% of the UK forces in the US during the war of independence were US born and were responsible for the vast majority of the attrocities (not to say the British born didn't commit their fair share, everyone did). The actual UK military basically didn't take part, they were busy in Europe with the French and Dutch. Be glad of it, had the UK sent an actual army it would have been a 1 sided affair as they could absorb more casulties in 1 battle than occured in the entire war and still be an effective fighting force.
