For some reason

I never get bored every time I watch the Patriot, but I've seen it a million times.

Strange how some movies are just like that...

 

yea I love that movie, specialy when he goes bezerk with the hatchet

 

Ahah... I love alot of the irony in that movie. Especially at that one part where the loyalists were holding that big banquet in Charleston and they watch their ships get blown up in Charleston harbor throughout the duration, right off the beach of where they're holding it... and then Colonel Tarvington (green dragoon leader) chugs his drink and throws the glass.

That and the part where they use they take straw scarecrows hostage and make Lord Cornwallis think that they just captured his forces and it makes him release militia hostages...

 

omfg should i be renting this movie?
its about the american south?!?!

wtf how did I not know this!?

 

Takes place during the American Revolution around South Carolina and the Santee River area. It's kinda bloody at some parts, though But I love it for the irony and history... that and it being based on Sir Francis Marion and all... swamp fox.

 

It's a nice movie. I admit I like the voilence

 

Ahah, well... I understand war of this scale, I just wish people could find less ignorant things to fight for these days.

And the hatchet scene is amazing. I never imagined what Marion and the militia were really like till I saw alot of it... you really can't get that at re-enacments. I've been to two or three so far, this weekend, for memorial day.

 

oh yeah it was on tv today
i rmemeber watching it in my u.s. history class last year
i must say it was really good
especially the end battle

 

I just watched that movie with my boyfriend. He's a big war/history buff.

 

I am not a buff, but an addict. I have withdrawls if I don't get my history channel every day.

 

Its so darn long, it just isnt all that exciting to me.... I could watch Glory for days on end, though.

 

Well, I grew up around Yorktown/Williamsburg and have been to most places in the Carolinas, so it's just kinda like watching that movie with Colin Ferrell about Jamestown or The Notebook and pointing out all the places I recognize/have been...

Minority Report was filmed two miles from my house, though... Aha, Tom Cruise was with a bunch of guys and they got him a newspaper, the only time I ever saw him.

 

Haha. When I'm at his house that's all he watches. I don't mind, I dig that channel too.

 

Can't say I know of any movies that have been filmed in the backwoods of Wisconsin...

Tom Cruise haha

 

Well.. I guess Fargo was.. close enough.

 

I don't think any were in Kentucky either....

Except maybe Deliverance....or was that West Virginia? We're all the same kinda backhill folk anyway.

 

Actually that was shot near Atlanta.

 

Fargo, of course!.... they have basically the same accents as the people 'round here.

 

ahahaha you were watching that too? they were playing it on tv and i just had to watch it. i admit, i love it too. not my typical kinda movie but i just love it. its got so many sad bits in it tho oh well, most good movies are like that. sad, but good.

 

Yeah, ahah.. that's basically how I feel about it. I like Mel Gibson, though.
