The Patriot (2007, Blu-ray Disc)

Movie Description
Mel Gibson stars in this action-packed historical drama from the director of INDEPENDENCE DAY and GODZILLA. Gibson portrays Benjamin Martin, an unassuming South Carolina widower who is forced to join the American Revolution when the British threaten to take his farm away from him. Together with his patriotic son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), the pair faces the vicious Redcoats with a heroism that reflects the stubborn pride of a young country's most dedicated supporters. THE PATRIOT is a sweeping epic adventure that sheds light on America's past, and at the same time entertains audiences.

    War is heck, and bloody. This part of the American Revolution is not glossed over, but that the concepts of freedom and liberty are at the core of the war - concepts which we, today, do not know any longer. With freedom, and with liberty come responsibility, and the "Patriot" sets the stage for early America as it delves into these concepts for the first time as a country.

    And to top it off, its just a good war flick.

    This is an excellant movie, one of Mel Gibson's best. It is set back during the war for independance. It has an all star cast and the detail in the costumes and props are right on. But that is what we expect from a Gibson film. Heath Ledger was his eldest son and turns in an explosive performance. I would recomend this film to aqnyone. My son's school showed it in US history this year as a staple of the curriculum. I think it is a good way to show our teens that the freedom they enjoy now was not free, but was built on the sacrifices of our ancestors.

    This is one of my favorite films. Its a dramatic recreation of a time when the US was becoming great. The action never slows down and the story just keeps coming. Still not sure Blu-ray is worth it. A good up converting dvd player provides similar quality on 720P and 1080i.
