Product Description

Product Description

Peaceful farmer Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) is driven to lead the Colonial Militia during the American Revolution when a sadistic British officer murders his son.

Plot Synopsis

The movie takes place in South Carolina in 1776. Benjamin Martin, a French-Indian war hero who is haunted by his past, is a patriot who wants no part in a war with Britian. Meanwhile, his two eldest sons, Gabriel and Thomas, can't wait to go out and kill some Redcoats. When South Carolina decides to go to war with Britain, Gabriel immediatly signs up to fight...without his father's permission. But soon, Colonel Tavington, British solder infamous for his brutal tactiks, captures Gabriel and sentences him to be hanged. As Gabriel is taken away, Thomas tries to free him, only to be killed by Tavington, in front of Benjamin. Now, seeking revenge for his son's death, Benjamin leaves behind his five other children to bring independence to the 13 colonies.

From Amazon.co.uk

Aimed directly at a mainstream audience, The Patriot qualifies as respectable entertainment, but anyone expecting a definitive drama about the American Revolution should look elsewhere. Rising above the blatant crowd pleasing of Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla, director Roland Emmerich crafts a marvellous re-creation of South Carolina in the late 1770s (aided immeasurably by cinematographer Caleb Deschanel), and Robert Rodat's screenplay offers the same balance of epic scale and emotional urgency that elevated his earlier script for Saving Private Ryan. Unfortunately, Emmerich embraces clichés and hackneyed melodrama that a more gifted director would have avoided. Instead of attempting a truly great film about the most pivotal years of American history, Emmerich settles for a standard revenge plot with the Revolutionary War as an incidental backdrop. On those terms, the film is engrossing and sufficiently intelligent, especially when militia leader Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) cagily negotiates with British General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) in one of the most rewarding scenes. For the most part, the story concerns Martin's anguished quest for revenge against ruthless redcoat Colonel Tavington (played with snide relish by Jason Isaacs), and the rise to manhood of Martin's eldest son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), whose battlefield honour exceeds even that of his brutally volatile father. At its best, The Patriot conveys the horror of war among innocent civilians, and the epic battle scenes, while by no means masterful, are graphically intense and impressive. And although Ledger's love interest (Lisa Brenner) is too bland to register much emotion, the focus on family (which frequently relegates the war to background history) provides a suitable vehicle for Gibson, who matches his achievement in Braveheart with an effectively brooding performance. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an alternate DVD edition.

5.0 out of 5 starsA grand old-fashioned epic
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 10 Nov. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Okay, I'm going to nail my colors to the mast here: not only do I like Roland Emmerich's The Patriot, but I also think it's also a damn good film, and not just because so many films about the Revolutionary War are so pitifully bad (Revolution, cough cough). While it is driven by the simplistic revenge motif that all American epics seem to need to stand a chance at the box-office, it does give a good sense of the slow progress of the war as it deteriorated from a `civilized' confrontation waged according to the rules of battle to an increasing vicious guerrilla war for survival. The battles are convincingly brutal and for perhaps the first time in a movie it shows how cannonballs were really used - not as explosives but to smash their way through the flesh and bone of the opposing ranks of soldiers.

Yes, it glosses over the real Swamp Fox's racism in favor of an idealized vision of racial harmony and it invents a church-burning incident redolent of old anti-Nazi propaganda films (revenge on Herr Director's part, perhaps?), but it's not quite as simplistic as that. For much of the first half Mel Gibson's character takes no prisoners himself, taking genuine pleasure in killing surrendering British troops until he persuaded to stop more for propaganda reasons than moral ones. Similarly, it points out that this was initially very much a civil war, with colonial settlers divided among themselves over where their loyalties lay (people tend to forget that rather than Americans vs. British, it was British vs. British at that time). Certainly history gets a better deal here than it did in Gibson's own Braveheart. And give it credit for at least not having Gibson stab the bad guy with Old Glory.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars'REVENGE DETERMINES 'BENJAMIN'S' INCLUSION INTO THIS WAR'
By rbmusicman/and/movie-fan' TOP 50 REVIEWER on 25 Dec. 2013
Format: Blu-ray
This for me was another 'Movie' re-visit.
Many States line up to declare 'Independence' from the 'British' occupation
under the rule of 'King George 111'
'Benjamin Martin'(Mel Gibson) a former 'War-Hero' wants no part of the uprising putting
his seven children his first priority, however his elder son 'Gabriel' doesn't
share his fathers point of view, he enlists to fight the British.
'Benjamin' will not be able to ignore what's going on around him for long, a
change of heart comes when his home is violated and his 17 year old son is
shot by a British Officer without blinking his eye, so to speak.'Gabriel' now seeks vengeance for his loss, the enemy will pay a high pricefor the brutality of 'Colonel William Tavington'(Jason Isaacs) The British officer has awoken an adversary that will come to be known as
'The Ghost'
The film depicts some of the darker side of war as well as much in the way of excellent action and battle sequences The action scenes are frequently graphic, a no-holds-barred movie set during the 'War of Independence'
The film did not really take off here in the U.K despite being an excellent film, perhaps the portrayal of British brutality and disregard for human life as depicted during the film played it's part.
There is not much in the way of additional features just: 'The art of War featurette' and 'The true Patriots featurette' (Neither presented in the
'Blu-Ray' format........The film of course has had the Format upgrade successfully i might add.

4.0 out of 5 starsBuy The Messenger; get others for free!!!
By Throda tzen TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 12 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
What a strange collection this is. and I make no apologies for the simplicity of the review. If you want details, call up the films individually. Each disc appears to be identical to it's individual disc version [I have the first two and bought this for The Messenger as this was cheaper than purchasing the individual disc] so if it works out cheaper get this, it's virtually buy one get 2 films free.
The Patriot is an American War of independence movie made in 2000 featuring Mel Gibson as a reluctant widower drawn into the conflict after his son is arrested by the British. The film is based on four 'heroes' of the revolution but historical accuracy is seriously flawed. The film has a number of gruesome fight scenes and contains much violence. A decent *** adventure/action movie, but lacks real substance or accuracy.
Glory is an account of the first 'Afro-American' [if that's politically correct] regiment in the American Civil War and was filmed in 1989 and released at the end of the year. The story is seen through the eyes of their white commanding officer, whose real life letters the film is mostly based on. It follows the regiment from formation to its bloodying at Fort Wagner. Well acted [generally] its a moving story and deserves a **** rating. However its not all blood and guts as there is surprisingly little fighting.
Joan of Arc :the messenger is set in France in the middle ages and has nothing to do with the others. This 1999 film version may upset many as it shows Joan [brilliantly played by Milla Jovovich] not as a calm and collected individual but as a deeply troubled one who is led by her deep beliefs and frustrated by those around her.Read more ›
