Our topic today is “Negotiation” and the film segment is from “The Patriot” a movie produced in 2000 which depicts the story of an American Colonist, Benjamin Martin, played by Mel Gibson, who was a volunteer officer for the revolutionary army. He leads a band of local South Carolina militia against the British forces of General Cornwallis, played brilliantly by Tom Wilkinson.
In this scene, Benjamin Martin is taking a great risk to negotiate directly with his enemy, General Cornwallis, for the release of his men being interned as prisoners of war. In an earlier militia raid, Benjamin had acquired a wagon full of personal possessions and effects of the General along with two Great Danes, that were given to General Cornwallis by King George himself. Benjamin knew could use them in trade for his imprisoned militia soldiers.
We join them as the negotiation for the release of the militia prisoners commences.

Martin knew that Cornwallis was a man who lived by the code of being a proper gentleman. When Martin easily gave up the dogs and personal belongings, Cornwallis felt to be a gentleman in return he had to give up something also. Martin took advantage of this

Here is the problem: When you use subterfuge or deception in your negotiations, you squander your reputation and ability to engage in subsequent issues. You are only as good as your word. When you garner a reputation as a dishonest player, it is almost impossible to recover and negotiate in good faith. Therefore, your short term aims are achieved but long term or strategic initiatives become much harder to obtain.

@undyingknowledge7818 6 лет назад

Stone Garden I agree, its esp bad to do so if you are outnumbered or on what would potentially be the losing side (obv he wins in the end but I'm just saying).

@johnrobinson1762 6 лет назад

Deception. That's a great word. Dishonesty and deception are definitely words which are linked. What if you yourself are dealing with deception, and you adopt deception on your own behalf to achieve your goals? If someone walks up to your house and starts hurling bricks through your window, are you going to politely walk outside and ask the assailants to stop? Word to the wise. Except the same treatment that you bestow on others. In the simplest terms. After the 16th brick has hit your house, with the windows and siding all beat to crap. You then come out with a yard stick and bust it over the attackers head, and the attacker sues and claims some sort of moral violation.

@CurtHowland 5 лет назад

Agreed. The trickery used in the film ensured the further escalation of hostility and reprisal. In the context of the film, the asymmetry of forces appears to justify such trickery, at least emotionally. The church burning sets up a whole lot of banked sympathy.

Technically, Cornwallis did via the telescope and from his point of view he saw men. Keep in mind it's not that easy to tell if they were people or dummies at that distance with a telescope.

Martin ''Ghost'' lost a serious trump. In addition to the fact that there will be no more negotiations, this is a huge motivating factor for the English. It's not even about avenging your fellow soliders. The officers will now be more determined, knowing that in a fight they cannot hope to be captured and will either win or die either way. ''do you see him? This is what awaits you if you waver or lose heart. This is a fight to the death!''

@ICantThinkOfANameB Год назад

I love the scene, love the plan, love the execution, but there's that niggling reminder in my head that such a trick can only happen once. Now, Martin can almost never expect to do something like this again, and maybe no one else in the Continental Army because of how embarrassingly he fooled Cornwallis.

@bobbyricigliano2799 6 лет назад

Brilliant scene and brilliant film. This compensates for the artistic license taken with this fictitious scene. Although eventually defeated, Cornwallis would not have engaged in the buffoonery in this scene where he trades prisoners for straw men without making any effort to verify their identities. He could have easily held Martin temporarily while a scout under flag of truce rode out the few hundred yards to verify the "prisoners."

@josephhertz5549 5 лет назад

The dogs were the key. Without the dogs the general would have held Martin for proof. The real risk for Martin was what if the general hated those dogs.

@orkleth Год назад

Also, the ranks of captured officers and the fact they didn't give their name should have raised suspicion. If three Majors and a Colonel were captured, not only would word have gotten to Cornwallis asap, but there would be active efforts to negotiate with the Continental Army for their release.

I cannot believe Cornwallis did not know the Colonialists did NOT have 6 or 7 British officers as prisoners and that he just took colonel martins word.

But as to the examples of tactics of negotiation and the advice printed on the screen--that was excellent and I look forward to more lessons! I can think of lots of gangster movies that have great clips of life and death negotiations.

@jiaweichew3370 2 года назад

A lot of these things used in negotiation appear to be only usable if the person requesting the negotiation has some advantage. However, negotiations in general is tough to do as each step seen here is a calculated risk of pull and push. Plus backstabbing in negotiation means the person will be forever considered untrustworthy to negotiate to.

The Patriot was loosely based upon the life and times of Francis Marion, the Revolutionary War hero from South Carolina, nicknamed "The Swamp Fox." The film's narrative, however, avoids the fact that Marion was a slave owner (and not a particularly nice one) and the fact that while Marion's actions were brave, they certainly weren't as noble as they were portrayed as being.

I know in the modern sense, this is seen as some kind of one-up to the British but this kind of move, especially at the time, is extremely dangerous. Sure you may win back your men but you forfeit the lives of any and all in your army who get captured in the future. Reputation and goodwill despite opposing ideologies are extremely powerful tools. To throw those away for this tiny “victory” was exceedingly foolish.
