"You're MY child!" is such an underrated line in this movie

The scene where Gabriel dies and Mel Gibson cries, Mel was actually thinking about how he’d feel loosing his own. Great acting! Great reaction guys!

I’ve seen this movie over a dozen times And each and every time That little yells “Papa Don’t Go I’ll Say Anything” Hits me straight in the feels.

Of course the evil Brit is played by Lucius Malfoy

“A shepherd must tend his flock….and at times fight off the wolves.”

40:05 so Mel Gibson’s character Benjamin Martin is based on a few real people. Dan Morgan, who was a veteran of the French and Indian War and commanded a pseudo special forces regiment during the American Revolution called “Morgan’s Riflemen” that functioned as scouts and guerrilla ranger light infantry. But he’s mostly based on General Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion who was actually from South Carolina like Benjamin Martin, and after he enlisted he was put in command of forces of the South Carolina Militia, again like Benjamin. And he engaged the British in what the Patriots called “irregular” warfare, what today we would call unconventional or asymmetrical warfare. He used guerrilla tactics and ambush maneuvers to harass the British even with significantly fewer numbers. He’s considered one of if not the father of guerrilla warfare and much of his military doctrine is still used by the 75th Rangers which are also sort of pseudo special forces.

Mel Gibson literally kills the main villain with an American flag... this is the most American film ever.

The movie that put Jason Isaacs on the map. One of the greatest villains in cinema history. 🙌

You two haven't seen Braveheart?! Unbelievable! You MUST watch that movie! It is Gold!

Every soldier melted into musket ammo was a round fired in vengeance for his son. His sons memory literally tore flesh and bone in vengeance. EPIC!

I do not purport to be a sword expert, but the sword Tavington used to kill Gabriel and slice up Benjamin Martin is called a saber; specifically, a calvary saber. The bend in the blade is meant to facilitate cutting, especially from horseback. This was my introduction to Jason Isaacs and why I was excited when I learned he was cast to play Lucius Malfoy.

Misconception is that Mel Gibson is Australian. He was born in New York. He holds dual American and Irish citizen through his parents, as well as Australian. This movie never fails to make me emotional.

I’m a proud British man and loved watching this movie as a kid growing up in England. Great film, great soundtrack!

I'm not American, but this is the most MURICA movie out there and I love every second of this classic. I must have watched it 10 times, such a good movie. And of course Jason Isaac being the villain is GREAT and having Heath Ledger is such a treat along the rest of the cast, which is so so great. Everything works in this movie, It's at times gripping, at times fun, at times horrifying, It makes you go through all the emotions while still being an "action & adventure epic", It's really a masterclass of a movie.

Issac does a great job at being the villain. This and his role as Malfoy really are some of his best performances IMO

One of the best mel Gibson performances, this movie has awesome action and story. .. What a cast !!

Tara and John FTW!!! I Need a Tara and John reaction to braveheart next historical tuesday!!!

Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors and directors of the modern era. He deserves a lot more credit than he gets

the amount of energy this started with i was like "oh no their hearts are gunna break XD"
