Firstly, the actors are invested, particulary Mel Gibson who proves ones again that it is a talented actor.Then, this film tells a war trough the story of a family, which makes it more touching and rich in emotions. We focus a lot on the characters, even if some twists, about family, friends, soldiers or even slaves make it tragic. Indeed, as the film happens during a war, there are a lot of fights and so many deaths. The film shows us a human side in terms of solidarity but also of treason. This film is moralistic because it shows us all aspects of a war (horrors, deaths, material damage ...) but also the hope that remains and the courage present all the time.To conclude I think this movie is a masterpiece in all aspects of a war movie.
I've watched this movie about 4 different times now. I have to say, the visuals were pretty great! The battle scenes and the camera work was on point however, the British were poorly represented in the movie. They seem, over the top, barbaric in almost the entirety of the movie. Aside from the holes in history and jerking off the "America" boner, not a bad movie.
If you want to watch a politically correct retelling of the American revolution, with exaggerated British atrocities, with horrible acting (except for the British villain),then this is the film for you. I'm not an expert on acting, but even to me this was hard to take. I couldn't believe it was rated 7.1 when I viewed it. Women lecturing men on the philosophies of declaring freedom and fighting for it. Blacks accepted as equals and fighting side-by-side in the militia (if you look closely, there's even a black soldier in the *British* regular army's front line at the start of the last battle). The dialog sounded like something from Father Knows Best. 2 hours and 15 minutes of it! Beautiful costumes and scenery, engaging musical score, but overall insulting to your intelligence.
