Currently watching Mel Gibson's The Patriot

@SW-User Yup.

@chrisCA Nowhere was- before or after colonisation.

This is an interesting clip.

@chrisCA William Johnson surely thought so.

@MalteseFalconPunch All good this was a civilized discussion 😃

@AbbeyP I understand that a movie will definitely add dramatic and unrealistic events for drama purposes.
I never claimed that it tells the ultimate truth. I'm not responsible for what the movie portrays. However I'll watch your video because I'm curious now.

@AbbeyP Braveheart made Robert Bruce to be against Wallace, when the opposite was the truth, and had the Irish fighting with Wallace. No mention of England's Welsh allies who won us the Battle of Falkirk.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Braveheart was about the Scots fighting the English. The Irish barely figured and Great Britain did not exist for another four hundred years.
Pity - I'd have liked to see Gibson as an Irishman! :-)

@LizOwen Wait a second I now get why everyone is pissed at me 😂 I confused the two nations the Irish and the Scotish. My bad lol it was an honest mistake. It all makes sense now.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether We all make honest mistakes - but it takes a big man to admit to them!
😘

@TheRascallyOne ok Gibbo

@GovanDUNNY don't cry too much

@TheRascallyOne i dont

@LeopoldBloom English and Jewish hate one hate us all British at end of the day

@LeopoldBloom How do you know he does? I'm not a huge fan but I have no idea what you're talking about or whether you're right or wrong.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I'm going by Gibson's drunken antisemitic comments, and his admiration of his father, a vicious antisemite, compared to the obvious hatred of the English in "The Patriot" and "Braveheart." Although the antisemitism in "The Passion of the Christ" was pretty bad. The translations of certain scenes in the Eastern European releases were significantly different from the English version released in the U.S., implying that he was trying to encourage violence against Jews in areas with historic antisemitism. Fortunately, audiences didn't fall for it. But I would still say his Anglophobia is worse than his Judeophobia.

@GovanDUNNY based VERY loosely on truth. Wallace was a true hero, anyway. One of the great men of history.
