Historical Accuracy/Inaccuracy and Its Significance to the Film �The Patriot�
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the historical accuracy of the film �The Patriot� and the reasons for any inaccuracies in the film. The release of director Roland Emmerich�s 2000 movie �The Patriot� starring Mel Gibson caused a considerable amount of controversy in regards to its historical accuracy, or more so inaccuracies. In reality, the story and its characters are fiction, except for General Cornwallis, but the story itself is placed within the historical timeframe of the American Revolution which provides a powerful setting for its characters and their causes and does a good job of promoting American propaganda and providing American audiences with a large extravagant and dramatic movie. There are several areas which are shown not to be historically accurate however and which for all accounts are admitted by Gibson and Emmerich as actually being �juiced up� for dramatic effect (May, 2003). Several areas of contention are those which include the brutality of the British regulars, the scope of the conflict, the degree to which America was unified during that time, the inaccurate portrayal of the slaves, and the military scenes along with many other aspects.
Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Historical Materialism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Throughout history, mankind has
attempted to separate itself from the rest of the natural world by devoting time and energy to the pursuit of individualism. This perpetual quest, as chronicled throughout the ages, has caused humanity to turn into a myopic entity whose complete and utter focus is upon the self as opposed to society � and the entire natural world � as a whole.
