Jo, Patriot je filmová noční můra Na druhou stranu, co čekat od Rolanda "američtější než američané - ať už "američtější" znamená cokoliv" Emmericha, tvůrce takových geniálních děl jak je Den Nezávislosti a Godzilla.Ajantis píše:Popravdě už si Patriota moc detailně nepamatuji, viděl jsem jej hned po premiéře (před 6 lety), i proto jsem se k němu nechtěl příliš vyjadřovat. Konkrétně ty boje si nepamatuji vůbec, utkvěly mi v paměti pouze ty... horší momenty.
Momentálně úvodní komentář na imdb je IMO opravdu výstižný:

Mel Gibson returns in Braveh... THE PATRIOT. My ultra-patriotic America-loving Muslim-hating history teacher made me and all the good little flag-waving model American honors students watch this film as part of my honors social studies class. As the rest of the class oohed and awwed at the huge shows of Patriotism in the film, I laughed at the corny dialog and complained about the historical inaccuracies. I have now been branded as a sadistic America-hating terrorist who should be taken out and shot. This film is essentially a remake of Braveheart, except that it takes place during the American Revolution and has many more historical inaccuracies. It portrays the Amercan Revolutionaries as freedom-loving angels, cruelly taxed (We have to pay taxes! Boo hoo hoo!) by the evil, wicked British, who commit despicable acts such as burning churches full of women and children (which in real life, they didn't, but since when did Americans care about accuracy?). The dialog is corny and the plot is clichéd. This movie made me wish that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was still around, so that Joel/Mike and the bots could have a go at this ham fest. The two stars are for some decent battle sequences and blood.
Last gripe: Since the Americans who fought the Britsh were still British subjects, and a patriot is someone who serves his country, the revolutionaries are not patriots.
All in all: Poorly-done, overlong, bore-fest that will only please those blinded to these facts by Patriotism.
EDIT: Wow - pro militaristy - na imdb je v diskusi docela zajímavě probírán zmíněný konflikt mezi kolonisty a Brity - určitě to stojí za přečtení. Název vlákna je "One of the worst films I have ever seen"
