The British Surrender | The Patriot
“You’re right my sons were better men” one of the coldest lines I’ve ever heard
That scene gives me chills for he fought out of pure anger to kill the man who killed both of his sons. As a father I couldn’t imagine.
He made one mistake. He did not stare into his evil eyes as the wicked spirit left his body. When you send evil to hell, you look them in the eye when they go, so that your righteous vengeance against their evil is the last thing they ever experience.

Everyone running past and cheering for victory while ignoring Benjamin, who is about to be slaughtered, always cracks me up!
Exactly! I wondered about that myself.
Don’t intervene on 1v1s!
I noticed that too. But it was a Boss vs Boss fight so I guess they thought it better to just run past instead.
They thought it was someone else.
its called blood lust it was recorded as happening a lot during the civil war and Vietnam both! people fixate on a single target and rush without looking around them, especially during large scale combat in close quarters.
Jason Isaacs was born for villain roles. Great actor.
Thank you for your promise. God bless
Watch him in The Death of Stalin. In a movie full of acting heavyweights, he steals every scene he is in, and he'll make you laugh till you fall over.
And he's supposedly a really nice guy. That seems to be a common trait of actors who play villains.
He's from Liverpool, the same city as the 'villain' he represents ( Banastre Tarleton) although, Tarleton actually lived long after this war
And captain Steele in Blackhawk down
Jason Isaacs is underated. He said the reason he played villains so well was because he got bullied as a kid for being small, skinny and Jewish. Said it made him understand bullies well.
I didn't know that!
I had a childhood bully. Until my dad taught me how to fight, specifically, how to fight dirty. I broke his nose right in front of his friends. Was the day I started to become a man at twelve years old. I'd be a different man had I not broke his nose. A man I'd be ashamed to be. Good times.
Dude definitely knows how to play an asshole
Of course, no wonder Mel wanted to kill him.
@@mealtimewarrior7916oh you
3:08 I find it hard to believe none of the soldiers charging ahead would have stopped and said “oops missed one” and finished him off.
And I find it unbelievable that two men are fighting to their death and one of them just gets on his knees, gives his back to his enemy and stays like that for whole seconds
The extras were under strict orders from Mel to not look at the actors, so they missed the final duel.
I find it hard to believe you're trying to find reason in a fictional movie. Poetic license baby!
you would think like 30 people would just completely impale the shit out of that guy

As time went on the VA determined that Benjamin Martin's injures were not service related and that he was not eligible for disability benefits.
Never a truer statement. Ever.
You are assuming they have seen him. Legends says, he is still waiting on a decision from them.
Fun fact: As I understand it, after the surrender at Yorktown, the British troops refused to look at their American counterparts and only acknowledged the French soldiers. Marquis De Lafayette, angered at this sign of disrespect, had the French band play Yankee Doodle to force the British to accept that the Americans had played a part in their defeat.
Yep. Lafayette was as great as Washington, as far as soldier and man. His story is one that is worthy of a whole movie itself.
I'd watch a Lafayette movie! @puttervids472
@@shanefrederick7731 me too!
Better than that... General Cornwallis, yes not recognizing the US separatists out of English pride, sent one of his captains (he refused to do it directly himself, the disproportionate and blind pride of the English does not accept and refuses to assume all this which he sees as a humiliation) giving his saber symbolizing his capitulation to Count de Rochambeau, general in chief of the French armies at Yorktown (for information at the battle of Yorktown, the French soldiers were twice as numerous as the US soldiers). But the French General refused the saber and sent the English Captain to give it to George Washington. Later, the votes of the first congress of the young independent republic of the USA, to thank the French and France, voted for privileged trade agreements with ... England... 😕All French honor and greatness in front of English and US Anglo-Saxon hypocrisy and perfidy.
I love how in the end Gibson kills Jason Issac the same way issac killed Ledger. It’s all about being cunning and smart, not just strength
If Col. Tavington could play possum, so could Benjamin Martin!
He's as crafty as a JUice
The art of facing your enemy with honour and respect, even if he's a bastard!
Watching this movie in theathers as a kid with my Dad is something I will never forget.
Wait are you an american? Thats perfect. Let me tell you mel gibson is not a native Merican, he just stole the tomahawk somewhere from someone he killed. You are being lied about your history 😂

Stabbing the bad guy in the throat was a big thing in 2000.
Got other examples?
@@logangx9319 Gladiator
The Brave Little Toaster
Joe Ericson Stabbing a guy in the troat during the revolutionary war wasn't exactly an acceptable way to kill your opponent either. Stabbing someone in the throat is bery personal because you have to look into the face of that person and see the life leave him through his eyes not to mention it takes a deep seated hatred and cold ass heart to do something like that.
Still is a big thing!!!
The choreography and the facial expressions are so amazing. When Mel gets his hammy slashed he's not looking cool or growling in defiance, he looks terrified! Terrified! When he gets his hatchet knocked from his hand and he's forced to block with a musket he found nearby you can see on his face his character realizes he's not going to be able to block the 2nd swing and closes his eyes as if bracing for the pain lol. I love it. And I forgot to mention all the 'draw cuts' in the clinch they were doing which is just awesome. Its not all chopping and slashing!
A French and a Spanish regiment participated in that battle. And the strategy of the battle was proposed to the American generals by the French general "De Grass" and the Spanish general "Galvez". The American generals studied the proposal and accepted it.
Americans like to manipulate history to their advantage. Without France, they would never have beaten England
Sadly, the anglos dispise when history is not on their side and restore to hide, modify and ignore facts at their convinience
From my understand the colonist at the time we’re getting their asses handed to them. If it wasn’t for the French and Spanish USA would be England right now
@@codeman9145 "If it wasn’t for the French and Spanish USA would be England right now" The US would be "England now" in the same way Canada, Australia and New Zealand are "England". The biggest change is arguably the Mexican American war likely never would have happened and Mexico would still own most of the western half of the continental US.
Jason Isaacs plays a great villain. Had the chance to meet and speak with him one day. He couldnt have been further from the villains he sometimes plays.
Agreed. I met him at Supanova 2015 and he's a really friendly guy in real life. It just goes to show what a great actor he is.
The mark of a great actor is being able to convince you he is someone much different than he truly is. Also, he gets chosen for roles like that because, in any story, the Villain has to be the most interesting person in the room. And Isaacs knows how to do that. Even when he didn't play a major role or a villain in ARMAGEDDON, when he talks, people listened.
Like him in case histories brilliant actor and gentleman..
Villain? Isaacs was the tragic hero in this movie, trying to bring a bunch of traitorous colonists back in line.
Willem Dafoe is reportedly the same way. Another actor known for playing villains who is very nice and down to earth in real life.
Spain was also involved in the American Revolutionary War. General Bernardo Conde De Galvez supplied the Colonists with weapons. Spain also used Revolutionary War as an opportunity to retake British West Florida, which included Mobile and Pensacola. 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇸

Yes unfortunately because of the hispano-american war over Cuba it's been pretty much stripped from the USA books about that fact.

We owe every thing we are and have to these greatest of men.
Not forgetting the French and Spanish assistance without which you'd still be a colony. (So thank goodness the French and Spanish helped you).
What Brits ?
@@alanbiles9912 They only assisted because they were oppressed by England as well. The Americans were the only ones who had the balls to stand up to England, so as usual the French and the Spanish rode America's coat tails.
@@mikelaughlin270 From what I can tell, the French were in no way 'being oppressed', but had just lost the seven years' war. France saw this as a big oppurtunity to avenge itself, and openly declared its support, and declared war on England. According to wikipedia ' France was not directly interested in the conflict, but saw it as an opportunity to contest British power by supporting a new British opponent.' Spain was involved for similar reasons. The Dutch Republic was also slightly involved, as part of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War, but it is also worth nothing that this war led to the decline of the Dutch Republic and led to the British Empire becoming the leading commerical power
4:17 General Cornwallis made a good choice ordering the sound to retreat, seeing from British soldiers being pushed back by the militia, which could risk the total loss of his army
4:23 I love when the British second in command, says " Sound... Retreat" so hesitantly but can't believe they've lost and just the look on his face
It's not surprising. The British had the most powerful military in the world at the time, so seeing them get defeated by a bunch of farmers, shopkeepers, and tradesmen was REALLY humiliating
@@DV_Dark_Jedi The French arguably had the more powerful army (if we're talking strictly army [ground forces]). The British had the most powerful navy in the world and no doubt the most efficient, organized and disciplined army.
@Scott Jarvis or Vietnam.
@@elpacho....9254 as countries you could say, like father like son. Defeated by farmers.
@@DV_Dark_Jedi You say that. During the start of the war the British army was really hammering the American forces. It wasn't until Dutch, Spanish and French military aid turned the tide of the war. People like to think it was the US militia men and continental army that won. But they received substantial help in terms of troops, supplies and money from the aforementioned nations. So in reality. It was the UK (a strong power) vs France (strong), Spain (a dwindling power but still strong at this moment) the Netherlands (financially strong with a decent navy) and the Thirteen Colonies (native defenders with the home advantage). It's not surprising the UK lost with the odds stacked against them so much. If it was JUST the colonies vs the UK, it would have been a very different outcome.

@@BeefCake1012 I mean Americans were the bad guys in the Revolutionary war if you think about it. All of the elite and the Founding fathers were a bunch of Englishmen with English culture, religion, ethnicity, etc and they rebelled against their homeland and their brothers in arms from the military in which they served because they literally didn`t like a tax raise. Contrary to what propaganda makes the British out to be the truth is that England was the most democratic country in the world at that point with Scotland being the second most democratic. It`s also worth mentioning that a lot of Englishmen wanted to give the US a parliament but their own was in gridlock for various reasons. All that aside at that time America was dumping ground for all the scumbags they didn`t want home and there was a sense of disgust against the things they were doing like slavery for example.

I love how when he misses the kill shot to the chest and hits the british officer's non-dominant arm, he's like: "Alright... we can do this the fun way instead".
Benjamin Martin only missed because of the cannon explosion near him causing him to jerk the trigger.
He lost his aim cause of the cannonball hitting near his location. That would've been a kill shot had that not happened.

That is what whole crap propaganda was pushed on us through ages Taxation with out representation. But fails to mention that a avg person in colonies paid 1/26 of what someone over in London was paying for taxes. So just like Civil War The Revolutionary war was bunch rich white people getting the lower class to fight war in order to abuse a non-white group for profit.

@@loading2256 In addition to multiple armies wich fought and won alongside.

Thanks buddy. I’ve always loved Americans. Maybe not the woke crazy ones of today but the culture and music, humour, cinema, obviously inventions which were on a high level like that of our own. I will never understand why many non white Americans seem to deny being American Citizens and are against your Country and Culture like it’s uncool or something, then again it’s the same here in England these days. We are hated from within and everywhere else despite doing so many countless incredible things for the worldwide community as a whole.
I love it in the movies when someone gets a serious injury to a limb, like a bullet to left upper arm, and fight as if it was "tis but a scratch."
It's actually not that unbelievable. Seriously. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug and they're in prolonged combat so it was definitely pumping. I once tore my ACL in a mosh pit and still walked a mile on it back to my car, drove 45 minutes home, and went to bed. Didn't know anything was wrong until the middle of the night when the adrenaline finally subsided. I literally didn't feel a thing I just noticed my leg was moving weird. Also he was using his other hand to fight with. He got shot in the non dominant hand.

The French were like, “Hey, we’ll help you defeat a kingdom that has basically an identical ideology as us, hoping that we won’t enter a revolution.”
made me laugh how the french guy during the cheesy bit with mel gibson says "vive la libertie" with the symbol of the monarchy slapped on his chest
Much like William Wallace quoting the American Founding Fathers in the 13th century while a nobleman of a feudal monarchy.
And after the war was over Americans decided to back on their promise to the French to give them land. So much for allies.

I wish I could go back and thank all those who fought and sacrificed so much for our freedom. 🇺🇲❤️
While you're at it, you better thank the Taliban, and uncle Osama! If Americans are 'free', why the Capitol riots?
The revolution was an utter disgrace. Greedy British men killing other British men so they didn't have to pay tax. The founding fathers were traitors to their country first and foremost. If they didn't rebel, slavery would have been ended a decade earlier in the US. There'd be no cold war, no Vietnam, no segregation, all the global problems I the world would simply not exist if those founding fathers actually had honour instead of greed.

Sorry, meant a century earlier,
Instead of that, maybe do some research on how bullshit this film is in terms of accuracy
Same here. Back then socialists were strung up instead of tolerated. If they pulled the terrorist trash they do today, they'd be shot on sight back then. America needs to go back to her old ways. The less liberal America becomes, the better.

It's a fantasy, made by a man who never misses a chance to have a go at the British or more specifically the English. Check out Braveheart, it has no basis in historical reality at all. In the film Mel and his Scots burn York. (in reality they didn't) and he sleeps with the future Queen of England. Ludicrous. Oh and he personally invents a weapon that the Scots had been already using for centuries. Laughable. His film Gallipoli is another example, all the English fault. Except it actually wasn't. If you want to know about the history of your country Mel Gibson is not the source to go to. I'm not convinced he's a great lover of Jewish people either.

Excellent display of weapons and uniforms and soundtrack
Cinematography is a masterpiece
True!
No it's not. It's bog standard action filming and boilerplate blocking, nothing more. Gibson is a HORRIBLE director.
The initial pistol shot with a silver ball would have shattered his shoulder and collar bone. The fight could never have occurred.
he was hit in the upper arm.. that's nowhere near the shoulder..
And it’s not silver, it’s lead. Melted from his dead child’s lead toys.

I was born in Ireland. Emigrated to America. While driving to ceremony to become U.S. Citizen, I turned my car around and went back to my apartment. Two weeks later, I packed my bags and went back to Ireland.
America cause they won lol
The scone/biscuit, cookie/biscuit arguments you must have.
the Patriot is a very important movie to me. Several of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary war and would continue to serve in every war America would be in sense. My family, the Bledsoes, are credited with being some of the very first settlers of Tennessee with proof of their settlements dating back years before 1776. We are one of the few families in Tennessee with such a long history and Im one of the few tennesseans that is a legitimate 10th generation Tennessee born male.
Did you just assume your own gender ?

He was the first revolutionary. Salute
It’s too bad Hollywood hates Gibson now
Hollywood hates him for telling the truth. He is a drunk, but in his drunken rage he told the truth.
I guess it's because he supported the guy who tried to overthrow democracy and get himself re-elected in an illegal way, or maybe because he's been recorded insulting everyone who isn't white and likes to abuse women, yeah Hollywood isn't fair with him
Everyone seems to hate everyone now.
@@Triumphs1962 no, there are many who love all their neighbors and don’t buy in to the enemies propaganda
Yet Roman Polanski gets standing ovations for his movies.
If anyone here has been in a real war, please explain to me where the orchestra is hiding, because i have watched this clip 900 times and I still can't see them. Damn! their camouflage is good!
I'm pretty sure they stopped using them
Sound comes from the skies.
This was the America we thought existed, a bunch of rebels that wanted freedom, to govern themselves, one day I hope to return to that
Soon

Such an amasing movie.
The tomahawk fighting is way cool !
Wow, Braveheart was such a great Movie !
One of the best roles Mel Gibson ever played.
If this was his best ?
I don't know, we were soldiers and conspiracy theory were both really freaking good
Could you imagine being hailed as a deadly successful war hero. Lose you wife in the prime of your years. War breaks out in your back yard. You have to deal with an officer preying on your CHILDREN and this predator picks off two of your offsprings. In history, this has happened to many a family.
Not really, its a movie. Lol
It’s a movie dude
This never once happened in the American Colonies. Not once. Perhaps in a “choose your own adventure” series, but certainly never, ever in real life. In real life, the American rebels lost most of the battles and no British regular would EVER, ever, ever murder a civilian’s children. Ever. This ridiculous film is riddled with so much bullshit that it’s astounding. In the Carolinas, which is where this film takes place, there were a couple accounts of local Loyalist and Rebel “patriot” militias that committed a few atrocities. But that was late in the war and that happened between local irregular forces. If a British officer burned down a church, violated a local woman, or shot someone’s child, he would be promptly arrested and face almost certain execution. Would you like to know which people DID indeed commit horrific crimes of humanity during that war? Look up Jane McCrea to find out. Brace yourself, though; it is not very politically correct.
@@charlesmaximus9161 y’all are so dumb. lmfao. I said “could you imagine” since it’s a discussion about a book or movie. same as saying “could you imagine battle a white whale 🐋 as your ship sinks” as we discuss a fictional book. It’s a piece of media that is good enough to immerse the audience of the emotions or other responses from being viewed. Go take a literature or english course. Because this bit triggered an irrelevant conversation that has nothing to do with me, lmfao.
@@charlesmaximus9161 This movie is Republican propaganda.
Linda demais 👏👏 essa morte
0:44 HOLD !!!! 🏴🏴
1:29 I love how the quality changes slightly and looks a little more grainy or darker as they start to fight
Excellent movie, the beach scene where the young girl calls to her dad always chokes me up a bit. Then there's Joely Richardson, I could watch her breath all day.
Yes, that scene breaks me. EVERY time. And add in the fact that the "Susan" actress, Skye McCole Bartusiak, died far too young. But, then again, so did Ledger.
3:36 ultra instinct before ultra instinct
As a father I look at these "revenge" movies like gladiator and this differently from when I was young. I see this in the light of him having lost 2 sons, no victory is really worth anything to him and you can hear the gloom in his voice reflecting that in the end, he does not care about the future because it is a future without his children and he only thnks of meeting them in heaven.
No way man. He is filled with hope. He marries again and has another child. He defeated his despair on the way to this battle while he was mourning Gabriel.
Never realized but he fights him with the 2 things his sons cherished. The Flag that Gabriel sewed. And Thomas' steel figurines.. and of course the Cherokee Tomahawk!
Man, imagine the movie we could've got if the filmmakers actually cared about real history.
Imagine if journalists cared about real history and real current events.
This part of the war never got covered in high school history. It wasn't neat and clean in the South. Many people in the South were the people transported in chains as rebels from the Jacobite rebellion.
Then there would be no movie! Films can't be 100% accurate, they are entertainment, first and foremost.
@@IronMan-tk8uc Then how did they make movies like Waterloo or Gettysburg? Yeah they probably can't make a historic film 100% accurate but they can get really close. Also, The Patriot is almost 100% inaccurate.
That actually sounds boring
You know that bayonet was hot as hell sitting in the fire like that and just grabbed it with his bare hand 🤣
God bless it I love big American!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
God bless the PATRIOTS, in Jesus name!!!
Love the look on Tavington's face at the time of his death. The look of defeat and broken British pride.
I know what you mean. It was the very same "look of defeat and broken pride" that the last Americans fleeing out of Saigon had on THEIR faces, 200 years later.
Would that be the same "broken British" who burned down the American Capitol about 40 years later, stopped you grabbing Canada and abolished slavery decades before you in "the land of the free" got round to it?
@Phillis "Dick" Black ......but I got the history right. 🎯
@@alangilbert6064 Yup! That'd be them! LOL!
Mel Gibson is not Australian, he hold US and Irish citizenships only.
Long Live a Free America 🇺🇸‼️🇨🇦
Canada is free, and they never had to fight a war of independence.
Grande film capolavoro di recitazione.
The video title: The British Surrender The thumbnail: Shows a British man being viciously executed
One of the best movies ever
@@captainjacksparrow9728 not really, it's kind of not realistic in some scenes of the movie you can see pistol shots hitting like 200 yards away and irl they fell way short of their target
