The Patriot Rated by Rebekah Walton

I watched this yesterday, the fourth of July to celebrate our Independence from England. It was a really good movie but it was also sad. I rated it with an A+. The sad parts were basically all the people that died dieing. But it was realistic and I believe that sometimes when movies are good movies they not only have to have a good ending but they have to be realistic, so those people that died made the move sad but realistic. I would like to say this was nothing compared to Saving Private Ryan which I have watched twice. Even though, there were a lot of sad parts there were a lot of happy and funny parts too. The funny and happy parts include: the ink in Gabriel and Anne’s teeth, Benjamin Martin trying to dismantle the rocking chair of the Redcoat’s to see why it worked when all of his chairs did not, Susan saying,‘‘Poppa, Poppa don’t leave.’’ Gabriel and his father Benjamin eating apples slices before the Gabriel’s wedding, the dogs following them, Gabriel talking to Anne’s father (every time he talked to him it was happy or funny), Anne’s good speech in the church before a lot of men enlisted for war including the Preacher, and a lot of other funny and happy parts. This was a great movie and except for a few comments about the French and the good people dieing this is an awesome movie. This should be seen every Fourth of July.
