@@Hamishtarah This was, in fact, a very dishonorable act. Especially for that time period, when officers were ostensibly held to a standard of honor and good conduct.

3:11 I love the detail of the younger British soldier on the left being surprised to hear the new detail of the prisoner being a father/son situation, but the older veteran soldier on the right, his expression didn't change, he's steadfast and loyal.
Lol it's just extras doing their thing. No need to look for deeper meaning. The one on the right doesn't even look much older. He could also have just joined.
The look on that lieutenants face when he saw Tavington and his men approaching. He knew it was all gonna go downhill from there. And there was nothing he could do.
That British Lieutenant took no pleasure at all in ordering those rebels shot, he was obviously a man of honour who didn't like shooting unarmed men and you can tell he has no liking for Tavington at all in the way he reacts first seeing the colonel approach
Not the first time Tavington did this to those that have surrendered or were wounded. Remember Gabriel went back wounded to his Family home and told them that he saw a Continental Company surrendering but the Dragoons rode into them and massacred them all. Not to mention General Cornwallis later had a meeting with the Colonel to talk about his brutal tactics in the field and to those that surrender. There were probably a lot of British Officer that didn't like his methods while they saw him in action and later reported them to the General. In one of the deleted scenes they called him by the nickname, "The Butcher"
Thomas was warned, by his father, to stay his hand. Benjamin is a seasoned fighter. So, if he is advising caution, then best too heed it. Plus, where was Gabriel going too run to?
Yeah. Sad scene, but he kinda brought it on himself. Then again, he’s young, and adolescents (especially boys) tend to be impulsive. His brother was about to be hanged, and he was desperate to save him.
He was a child. They notoriously aren’t known for thinking things through completely. He just wanted to save his brother and did what he thought he could. It cost him his life. He just wanted to help
People complain about this movie and the cruelty the British show and about how there is no " evidence " they were this extreme. Great Britain let 1 million irish starve to death. Do you think they would not do this type of stuff to rebels?
4:50 one of the most heartbreaking reactions you will ever see on screen 4:54 one of the most evil reactions you ever see on screen Mel Gibson and Jason Issacs are masters at their craft

Unfortunately it happens in war. Even recent wars, Americans tend to pay the families off in the hope they don't seek retribution or become terrorists. Common practice
The son couldn’t be in Zenon 2 because he was busy getting killed during the revolution. Rip to the girl that played the youngest daughter she died in real life
Scene might hit a lot less hard when you understand teenagers were pressganged into the redcoats. A lot of those soldiers were probably the same age as the kid.
I feel like the colonies becoming independent from Britain was the best decision they could've possibly made, after seing what's been happening over there in the UK, lol.
@Loukablyat . There's no free speech in UK, at this point, on top of that the justice system is arguably worse over there, the police force sometimes won't even track down criminals because they supposedly don't have the man power, and the illegals are causing mayhem over there, Yes I know the us has school shootings, but the uk has a terrorist problem
@Loukablyat . I disagree, There's no free speech, and the British have a very controlling government, (the government litterally force people to eat certain amount of salt, no wonder their food is so bad) that makes it seem like 1984 is a reality over there, plus, on top of that a pretty bad/incompetent police force that sometimes won't even track down suspects because they don't have the "man power".
Love you the one guy who you can tell he didn’t wanna do this, especially in front of the kids and then when they’re taking Abigail, the two soldiers looks so sad that they’re taking her away from the kids
As much as I love this movie, shit like this would never happen. If the British did stuff like this regularly, every colonist wouldve joined the revolution.
Tavington is loosely based on General Banastre "The Butcher" Tarleton, who was known for his brutality and savageness both on and off the battlefield. He loathed the rebels with a violent passion.
You’re saying it would NEVER happen because if it REGULARLY happened every colonist would join the revolution…. That makes zero sense. War crimes have taken place in every war that is and will be.
Man, this movie, Glory and Saving Private Ryan just remind me of high school. They seemed to always be the go-to movies when we'd have a sub in history class.
Beautiful man, and wonderful guy (by all accounts). Jason said he did his auditions from England via videos, but was captivated by the part as soon as he read the script.
I absolutely love this movie as a movie, but historically this is awful. British soldiers never treated POW or civilians that way, as they intended to renew the trade with the colonies after the war, so they were very careful not to antagonize the population. Jason Isaacs' character is based on a really guy, though.
There was some pretty nasty violence against civilians, but most of it was from American civilians or militia on one side against American civilians who supported the other side. It's estimated that something like 1/3 of Americans were loyalists. There was also a lot of violence against civilians and torture and murder of civilians both by and against Native Americans who got involved in the war. But it is true that British regulars generally did adhere strictly to the laws of war and tried to avoid antagonizing the civilian population.
Not true. An ancestor of my husband was held captive in NY Harbor on a ship. He was ransomed by his father. Later, he joined the 4th Continental. From the research, the unit was even worse than the British Dragoons. But after learning some of the information about these soldiers, they definitely had a grudge against the Redcoats. They were pretty vicious by all accounts of reenactors I have met and spoken with. The conditions on the ships in NY Harbor were really bad...very few made it off if they didn't have a family to ransom them. There is actually a memorial to these soldiers who died on the ships.
@@Anne_B. POWs dying in captivity is not a new thing, and has only recently been amended. Continental soldiers and officers were treated the way POWs were expected to be - with officers being constantly exchanged throughout the war. Also, the Americans had no issue in treating POWs badly as well. Saratoga being an example.
@@SNEAKYSNAKE777Xincorrect, he was shot in the rear right flank, the heart is on the left side. Definitely hit his right lunch and likely his liver though.

It's one thing to attack your enemy, you kill their family, and now you have a blood feud. Pro tip, don't kill your enemy's family if you are seeking peace.
Watched this over the course of 3 days in my history class in highschool last week, good movie and the whole class was crying when gabriel died and the teacher walked around with a tissue box, class went crazy and clapped at the end when ol dude died
This shallow movie made the class cry, seriously?? Wait until they actually see real horrors or suffering like Schlinder's List or Letters from Iwo Jima.
Ok so no one is commenting this, how is it that Mel Gibson had an American accent but it was during the revolutionary war, he would have had a British accent do to him being from England.
Do you understand now?! This is why we measure weight in tons, distance in miles, and temperature in Fahrenheit!!! To punish the British for what they did!!!
Watching that scene, holding your kid as they die.. I only hope my focus is as sharp as Gibson’s is portrayed. Hyper focused on freeing my kid or die trying.
1:54 “we’re not slaves” Yeah right buddy XD Because screw historical accuracy! No way we could make Mel Gibson’s character a slave owner (even though the guy they based him on absolutely was)
he could free them and work on their farm...? where else are they supposed to go? work as a congressmen back then? this was a better life than what made them a slave to begin with.
@@trition1234 It’s true some slaves did return to field work for paid work since it’s all they knew. Some found other small jobs. However in this case the character Mel Gibson is based off was a slave owner. They changed it for the movie for obvious reasons.
The historical inaccuracy in this flick is incredible. The worst crimes such as burning churches never happened. However, such war crimes were perpetrated by Germans particularly during WW2 ….. the director of Patriot was … a German.
I watch this movie to remember that despite all that has happened. And all that has divided us. We are STILL one people. And even if we break we WILL reform. We WILL repair. And I won’t stop believing America can heal. 🇺🇸 If we got through all this crap in 300 years and have split so many times, we will be untied again in the future
At least the lieutenant showed decency and gratitude towards Benjamin for giving hospitality and medical aid to the Red Coats than showing threat and aggression. He could’ve had the opportunity to kill the injured Colonial Army soldiers but he chose not to
This movie is so historically inaccurate, it is CrIMINAL, these types of atrocities did not occur in the American Revolution. However, I enjoy this movie for what it is. An entertaining popcorn flick aka Bravehesrt during the American Revolution. And Jason Isaacs played a damn good villain that you can’t wait for him to get his in the end. Plus the cinematography is really good!!
One of my favorite movies of all time, I love American History so much. Also that British Colonel gives me chills, he is like the devil in a uniform. His eyes are even as cold as steel. When he speaks every word is measured.
"...we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." There is nothing in this world that built a nation as righteous as ours apart from Old Testament Israel.
I know I'm supposed to be horrified and saddened by this, but seriously... you're going to try and release your brother while unarmed and surrounded by men with guns? What did they think was going to happen?
Is this Braveheart? Mel Gibson is the Hero He doesn't want to go to war His family gets killed He goes to war against the British Shouts Freedom in a speech Defeats the Enemy army Impales someone on a Horse.
We should get more revolutiomary war movies made these days...They kinda quit making those masterpieces but they can settle for other battles not shown on tv...what happened, show new story's full of characters thay actually were alive...Different battles were fought in not just the 13 original colonies but also in the midwest...Theres still so many movies that could be made, real authetic movies...
This is the only scene in the movie that showed nuance in the English Army. The Lieutenant was respectful to Benjamin and was not in favor of what Tavington was doing. Even the Lieutenant's soldiers were in disbelief at what Tavington did. This movie should have shown more of that because at this point in time, England and the US colonies were not too far removed. So undoubtedly there were English soldiers who were against the war and not in favor of having to kill the colonists. This movie made the English too cartoony in their villainy.
If I had a nickel for every time Mel Gibson played someone who was a great soldier in a war, said I don’t want to fight anymore and retire somewhere with his family, where one of his family members get killed by a British, making Mel Gibson get revenge on the soldiers who were involved in the incident and becomes a major threat in the upcoming war where his side wants freedom from the other side, I would have a dime, which is not a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

This scene was awful. Makes me weepy every time I see it.
If I had a nickel for every time Mel Gibson played someone who was a great soldier in a war, said I don’t want to fight anymore and retire somewhere with his family, where one of his family members get killed by a British, making Mel Gibson get revenge on the soldiers who were involved in the incident and becomes a major threat in the upcoming war where his side wants freedom from the other side, I would have a dime, which is not a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.
I have a question, can someone please explain who are the soilders who wear blue and red in their coats?
Why did I think the person in the thumbnail was Zendaya?💀💀💀🙏
I’m so generationally cooked😭😭😭
