The Patriot
Roland Emmerich was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He was born on November 10, 1955. Emmerich began his career in Germany. When he was young, he was mainly interested in the arts and later went to film school. While in the director's program at film school in Munich, his student film, "The Noah's Ark Principle," went on to open the 1984 Berlin Film Festival. The feature became a huge success and was sold to more than 20 countries. Ronald's latest works include "Godzilla" and "Independence Day" which have both went on to become major blockbusters. He co-wrote both movies as well as directed them. Mr. Emmerich now owns his own production company by the name of Centropolis Film Productions. The Patriot begins in 1776, in South Carolina. In the north, the war against the Crown has begun. The Americans revolted against the English in order to become free of English rule. The Colonies are searching for volunteers to join the regular army. Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson), the legendary "Hero of Fort Wilderness" and now a farmer, he does not think that war is the best way to go and worries about the effect the Revolution will have on America. He tells his peers, "This wa
The objective of " The Patriot" is very unclear to me. I think that this movie was made without a straight forward point. Instead it was made as a semi-historical battle of good versus evil. r will be fought not on some distant frontier but among us, among our homes." His patriotic son, Gabriel (Heath Ledger), does not think that his father is right and joins the Continental army with an enthusiasm for the cause that Martin does not believe to be worth it. The scenery, in this movie, was amazing and the action scenes were very well choreographed. There were special effects used in the battle scenes that made you feel as if you were right there, in the middle of the battle. In my opinion, this movie had the right mix of action, love, and guns. In my opinion, this movie did not really have just one clear objective. I thought that the point of "The Patriot" was to stand up for your country, for your freedom, and for what you believe in. Yet, the only reason that Martin (who is supposedly the patriot ) "stands up" is to revenge his son's death. This movie, just like many other movies, has an underlying idea that good always triumphs over evil. In this movie, the good was represented by Benjamin Martin and the evil was in the form of the English army. I think that there was also a different message that was being conveyed through the movie and that was that you have to stand up for yourself and what you believe in. The Patriot symbolized the idea that the colonies had to be free and they were not free until they revolted. I think that this mo
