Everything Wrong With The Patriot In 16 Minutes Or Less 

I loved the final sin, "We named him Gabriel" *sarcastically* "Not Thomas, that kid was an idiot." Priceless.

The patriot. I prefer to call it Braveheart 2 American boogaloo

The fact that his children never aged at all in this eight-year war was NEVER brought up. Twenty Sins for YOU!

The boys reacting to the mail is actually pretty accurate. Mail was a big deal circa 1776, as it was the main method of communication for thousands of years, and still was for a solid 100+ years after the American Revolution.

"You have nothing to be ashamed of." *Video Cuts to Axe Overkill with Jeremy laughing his ass off* I'm dying.

I live in the Town in South Carolina where a large part of this movie was Filmed. there was a sandwich resturant that had invited Mel Gibson to eat there for weeks. After he ignored their invitation and the filming was concluded, the Sandwhich shop's sign read "Bruce Willis would have come"

“It’s like they’re anti-stormtroopers” 😂

"Not Thomas. THAT kid was an idiot." is still the best line of this whole channel.

'We named him Gabriel. Not Thomas. Thomas was an idiot'. Classic!

Missed one. The hilariously evil colonel is drinking from a martini glass when the ship explodes, a glass that doesn't date back much further than the late 19th century/early 20th century.

Actually, that amount of cleavage was common at the time in the southern colonies, and the setting is South Carolina, so that's not an issue. If it was set in Massachusetts you would have a point.

Has anyone else ever noticed how the Assassin's Creed III fighting style is oddly similar to Mel Gibson's in this movie?

Seeing a speedy scene of Mel Gibson falling off the rocking chair and angrily throwing it to a corner is just f**king HILARIOUS.

Should have shown that battle scene. I'd take away a couple sins for that. Hidden away in that scene are a couple of interesting historical details. The one that I find the coolest but is hardest to catch is that when they have close-up shots of soldiers shooting, you can see some of them look away right as as they are firing. This is so they wouldn't get powder burns from the priming powder on there face or in their eyes. Another cool detail how the British behaved when under fire. Even in the midst of a volley from the enemy with men dying all around them, the other soldiers expressions don't change, their eyes stay locked ahead, and they stay in perfect lock-step. Exactly as you'd expect from British troops at the time. Finally, while most of the cannon fire is portrayed as being shot pointlessly into the ground, there is a scene with a bouncing cannonball! YES! That's the most common way you'd use round-shot in a pitched battle like that, bouncing it through enemy ranks. Whew, sorry for the wordwall, this ended up being longer than I meant it to be. If anyone makes it through all this, I salute you.

I feel like the black ink in her mouth was there way of telling us they made out all night. Lol

It wasn't uncommon for bodies to be left hanging for days or weeks. In some cases bodies were purposefully left to hang until they were completely decomposed

0:39 Holy shit did you see those kids running through that field of wheat, that must be the naughtiest thing they ever did as a child.

Holy shit. I'm in an CinemaSins video. I'm the patient in the background center at the 6:28 mark. My life is now complete. The birth of my daughter is now my second proudest moment.

Can we talk about how awesome Jason Isaacs was in this movie?

_"It's my new film, where I defy the English, to free England from the English."_ -Peter Griffin.

CinemaSins forgot the obligatory "Discount Lucius Mal-HOLY SHIT!" Sin.

you can add a sin for the representation of the french flag in the only shot where it appears. it wasn't blue white and red at the time, you have to wait for the french revolution for that. I dont know if we must blame them for lazy research or for knowing that the american public wouldnt even notice.

So sad that the actress who played the little girl who didn’t speak for the longest time committed suicide at the age of 21...

Original sin: Lucius Malfoy has used a time-turner go go back 200 years to be an evil wizard in Revolutionary America, using the Imperius Curse to make British soldiers do things they never did otherwise.

Being a dad who can't see his daughter, that scene where the little girl finally speaks and cries for her poppa always hits me in the feels.

The Patriot, also known as Braveheart 2

After seeing this, I came to realise that when Jason Isaacs played Lucius Malfoy, he wasn't acting at all.

Lmfao.. "We named him gabriel." "But not Thomas. That kid was an idiot."

Sins as told by a military historian: -COCKED HATS ARE MEANT TO BE WORN TILTED SLIGHTLY TO THE SIDE -The marching pace of the soldiers seems off always. -napoleonic pattern muskets in 1776 -Camden wasn’t lost because the continentals faced the redcoats in open field. The british light infantry flanked the continentals, which btw during that battle were mostly militia, and ended them with guerrilla tactics. Also, the militia fough almost shoulder to shoulder, while the redcoats used an open formation to be less of a mass target practice. -militia forces were not that good, Washington himself said they sucked. Most if not all major battles were won by the professional continental army, not the militia. -Tarleton dragoons had a different uniform. -the order would be “make ready, present, and fire.” Not “make ready, aim, and fire.” You don’t really aim a musket. -Also, no. You don’t need to look away as you fire a musket. It’s true one can’t properly aim with one, but for obvious reasons it’s good to be sure where you point a projectile, just in case. -The swords used by the Dragoons are not from that era, can’t pin them out but they look like the French model 1821 - The redcoats wear all the same red uniform with blue sleeves. There were more than one regiment, and the 7th of Foot, the one of the blue sleeves, wasn’t present in every battle. -fire orders are still off. Soldiers fire as in a “fire by file” or “fire by section” when the NCO specifically said just “fire” which means all must fire in volley at the same time, with no delay. -Some scenes the continentals present their weapons before being ordered to do so. Not a single 1742 pattern hanger in sight, despite being the most common sidearm. -Why would a company deploy their musicians all gathered in the centre of the formation? Soldiers must hear the music to know how fast to march and when to stop. Usually every small compny would have it’s own drummer and fifer by the flank. Not having all musicians gathered at the centre of the entire army. -Not a single mention to the Kentucky Long Rifle despite it being one of the few actual guerrilla elements used in battle. The stars and striped started as a naval emblem, not very common in land battles. -The french had little to no respect or interest in arming guerrilla forces, the Prussians though, already experimented users of rifles and guerrilla tactics did. It would make more sense for a prussian officer to lead and train the militia, not a French one. - Those cannons are too big for the quick paced land battles of the War of Independence. Usually the cannons used would be 3, 4 or up to 6 pounders. Except maybe some specific battles like perhaps York Town saw bigger artilliery pieces. -Not a single Ranger or Light infantry unit for the british. -Not even the Tarleton Dragoons would even dare to burn civilians alive. That’s even considering that Bloody Ban actually deserved that name. -Also, what happened with the Hessians?? -Also, what happened with the Spanish? -Also, what happened with the Dutch? -Historically, this movie is a mess.

15:37 "Benjamin tosses his gun aside because he now has the ultimate weapon: *The American Flag*." I'M DYING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The “we have a bunch of guys over this hill” routine is literally how the brits won Waterloo

Dude you cant deny Mel shreds when he's on top. I like his attitude in movies

Welcome to the patriot. The original assassins creed 3

I'm so excited for CinemaSins to tear the sh*t out of the Emoji Movie

The British army never burned a church full of civilians. Not once, ever. 5 sins added right there.

The “we have a bunch of guys over this hill you foolishly ran over” look up the battle of cow pens, that maneuver is no joke

The Patriot: the only movie I've ever seen that makes flintlock muskets act like snipers.

I want a "sin along" or "sin in the blanks" where the scenes are presented without Jeremy's narration and the audience has to figure out what the sins actually are

"We named him Gabriel," in my head, 'Oh how sweet.' Cinema Sins: "Not Thomas that kid was an idiot." I lost my shit on that lol!

Tavingtan's reaction to the ship exploding while the woman was wasted is perfect. You also forgot to sin the fact that the son that said the freaky shit to the woman at the beginning was a psychopath after they saved Heath

movie disregards the existence of France using America as a proxy war which is historically accurate *ding*

Hahaha "CGI ages faster than a nfl running back" dude awesome line

Ah Heath my fellow Australian.. such a good looking guy! Gone too soon

All of the costumes in this movie are amazing

It is worth pointing out that sin number 113 was based on actually events in the Revolutionary war. Using terrain to hide a larger force and draw your opponent in is actually a technique that has been seen in a few battles throughout history.

"I forgot about how the Revolutionary War ended bigotry and slavery!" lmaaaaaao

As an Australian I very much enjoy seeing 2 Australians play the leads in the most USA patriotic patriotism that every patriots

the "fireworks" scene deserved 5 sins off. It was that good.

haven't watched this movie. haven't even heard of it. but i'm gonna watch it's sins anyways.

The Movie Sins Videos playlist now has 420 videos.

2 notes. 1. The guy who cinema sins says "died" too late during the tomahawk massacre scene didn't die. He's the one who tells Tavington what happened. He's the only one to survive. 2. In the deleted scenes, they show how Tavington got the list of names. The bounty hunter who spit tobacco and left after their first major defeat was captured and tortured by Tavington, as well as several others. He gave the names.

Benjamin going berserk with the hatchet wasn't so much overkill as it was his composure shattering. He had to keep it together long enough to save Gabriel - after that, he had nothing left but white hot rage.

Movie about American Revolution, two main characters are Australian with Australian accents.

Movie: The Patriot Category: *Fantasy*

I love his actual intelligent sports references. I appreciate him actually knowing what he’s talking about when he says it.

I remember watching this back in the day and most of my memories of this movie were the rescue scene. Just re watched these days and as a father to a little girl, what stroke me the most were Susan screaming "papa" scene.

I'm sorry to hear you saw a suicide first hand man. Hope don't feel messed up from it anymore

"F*ck you, dude. I don't care if you were on Firefly". Yes! :) Also, everything wrong with Predator.

CinemaSins, I have to say, your laugh is so unique, and I love hearing it in these videos. It makes the sinning that much more enjoyable. Keep your excellent work, my good sir!

Still binge watching your vids. Love them!

Actual propaganda from the Revolutionary War was less anti-British than this movie.

I think you had a lot of fun filming this one. I actually laughed out loud.

The battle at the ending was based off of the Battle of Cowpens

ding ding ding....what the hell. i still like this thing ya did. your the bomb. you rock!

Cinemasins is for the people who can't afford to watch movies 😂

Literally nothing about the battles was realistic: In North America, British fought differently than in Europe - in wide ranks, sort of like the light infantry of the period. They didn't slowly march towards the enemy, they jogged or walked fast, muskets pointed forward. That's why US Independence war battle casualties were so lower than European battles of the time (honestly, even the biggest battle like Bunker hill is barely a skirmish by the standards of 7 Year War or Napoleonic Wars - more soldiers died in action at Battle of Borodino in one day than in 8 years of US independence war). Secondly, bayonet charges didn't happen the way they did - usually the side charging would either break before reaching the enemy, or the enemy would break when they approach them. Slo-mo fighting bayonet-to-bayonet? Forget it, happened extremely rarely. Battle of Camden in the movie was the closest to the realistic battle of the time although it's also very imprecise. Also, muskets are depicted as too precise. And guerrilla war in the movie happened rarely and not in the way portrayed (this style of guerrilla as we know it was born in Vendee counter-revolution in France in 1793 and in Spain during Napoleonic wars) If you want to see how a realistic battle of time looked like, watch a scene ''Battle never mentioned'' from Barry Lyndon. British company is walking fast towards the French company. They withstand 2-3 volleys (each volley consisting of like 100 shots, but only around 5-10 soldiers falling every time). Scene cuts short after the captain is hit and Barry helps him, while in the background you can hear British hurrah-ing the charge, and the French yelling ''retire-vous''! (retreat!) right after that. Result of the whole battle is probably 30-40 british casualties (most just wounded), and similar number of French killed by retreating or captured).

So, two things: 1. The names and addresses were provided by the loyalist sergeant. 2. The retreat into a hidden waiting army is historically accurate.

I have watched hours of your videos but in my honest opinion this one was a masterpiece!

15:02 Also the first Stars And Stripes flag was not made until 1792, during this point in history the Americans just used their colonial battle flags, so Benjamin should have been waving the Battle Flag of South Carolina or his local militia. +1 Sin.

The patriot: Stars 2 Australian actors.

A lot of people shuk corn when picking it. People even shuk it at Wal Mart, then again it is Wal Mart. The muskets were hard to shoot and most people looked away when pulling the trigger to avoid going blind. So I agree with that sin. When I watched this in the Theater my friend and I both said "For Scotland!!" at the same time. The Braveheart similarity was a bit too much for us.

When I saw Odo from Star Trek I thought that there would of been a reference for sure...but I guess not

Okay, you completely misunderstand what's happening when he uses the flag to run back up the hill. Flags weren't just for decoration during that time, it's how armies, particularly ones amidst all the smoke (and there was a lot in those battles) of musket fire used them to rally troops and guide troop movements. The flag carrier by note, is usually weaponless, and where that flag goes, the unit goes. So if the flag carrier suddenly breaks and runs, the unit will start to collapse, likewise, if the flag carrier charges there's a likelihood everyone else will. So in a sense that flag is more powerful than his flintlock pistol, it's "controlling" an army.

"You expect the French to keep their word?" It's funny because the natives said the same thing about the Americans for, like, over a century and a half.

5:32 dude didnt want to kill him, he wanted to hurt him. He didnt beat him to death, he beat him to the point where he would die and then left him to feel it. Brutal.

“Not thomas. That kid was an idiot” 😂

Sin 113: This actually happened during the real battle of cowpens. They tricked the enemy into thinking all their forces were deployed, only to discover they were behind the front lines waiting to counter attack. You get a sin for not knowing your history (Or at least pretending to know)

Holy shit, Mel Gibson impaled someone with an American flag a year after The Simpsons had him impale the President with the American flag in the Mr Smith Goes to Washington remake.

What an exceptional great Episode!

You forgot that there is no hill or hilly ground behind charleston. Its the "low" country. Theres no high ground for about 50 miles inland

Am I the only one who uses cinemasins to watch the movie?

This movie makes historians want to drink with all the historical errors.

I agree with most of this HOWEVER i have literally just watched this movie and come straight here... When she says "it's a free country" she immediately followd it with "well soon will be" you sir must knockoff 10 sins for your error!

"Dear lord knows what to you women"...kid's dark🤣

"We named our son Gabriel" "Not Thomas..that kid was an Idiot!" phhhf lol

The tradition of bindling bags (the whole sewing people into bags) was common in that era and previously. Given many people traveled a very long distance to visit other people having your guests sleep over was extremely common. (Especially considering some people traveled by horse for days to visit others or conduct business) If a gentleman was coming to court (date) someone’s daughter it was very common that they would allow the gentleman to sleep in the same bed so the couple could talk and woo (if given permission to court her by her father) but the gentleman was sewed into a canvas equivalent of a sleeping bag to keep the girls virginity in tact. Co-sleeping was also common back then also so them sleeping with all the children was normal. (Referring to the sun about the whole family sleeping together in the barn)

Little girl from Patriot and the boy from the road tie for best delivery of "papa"

Can we also talk about how the British would have known which of their men were prisoners. Or at least might have taken time to verify if they had prisoners?

+20 sins for how comically evil Tavington was.

I give up, we will not see the bee movie or rogue one's sins

Man, you are so frikkin funny! Awesome work!

I lost it at the “two whole minutes of marching”. Only because in the real military, two whole minutes of marching would be a dream come true 😂😂😂.

‘Guns at the ripe old age of 6’ Really? Thats a bit late in life isn’t it?

The last sin you missed; at that time it was illegal for someone to marry their deceased spouse's sibling; no such marriage would have been legally recognised, & any children resulting from such a marriage would be illegitimate- now, perhaps socially they mightn't have suffered much, as Benjamin was a hero of the Revolution, but legally, I don't think they had any inheritance rights. Also, I'm not defending the inaccuracies in this film (or others like it- I just think they should say 'inspired by' rather than 'based on' a true story- that way people's hopes aren't gotten up); but if a historical movie piques interest, & encourages you to learn more about *the real history*, surely that's a good thing, right? There have been plenty of people, for example, who go off about the character of 'Benjamin Martin' being based on someone who was not a great person (Francis Marion)- I'm not disputing that, but he was in fact *a composite character*, with elements from multiple historical persons including Thomas Sumter, Daniel Morgan, Nathanael Greene, Andrew Pickens, *&* Francis Marion.

The costumes are extremely well done.

Should've done Everything Wrong with Braveheart

4:30 Yes, he would know the terrain better than the British, but those soldiers would have been local troops who signed up to fight on the side of Britain, not British troops who sailed all the way over.

GG, I lost it when the sentence you gave them was "Communism".

I can't stop rewatching this movie though 🤣

yes a man and 2 kids single handed took out a whole column of trained troops. with muzzle loading muskets and an axe .
