Every year, Hollywood pumps out "historical" epics so distorted, propagandistic and self-serving, you have to wonder just how stupid they think we are. But, try "fixing" some of those historical inaccuracies and you'll quickly realize what Hollywood screenwriters have known for years: History is lame. ... The Patriot (1998)

In England, a loud stink has already been made of how the historical inaccuracies in the script make the British into inhuman figments of terrorism, ... In fact, it would be a mistake to think of "The Patriot" as a historical film. The movie doesn't deal with the issues of the war, and it only touches on its history.

The re-enactor consultants seemed to have had a hard time with the film's producers as well as the Smithsonian consultants (I have read one report by one of the primary re-enactor consultants that ripped the Smithsonian pretty well over several inaccuracies they were trying to put in the film.). Some of them walked off...

What simply astounds me is the uproar around the world as to the "historical inaccuracies" of the movie. I have to wonder what these critics are thinking. After all, this movie was overseen with painstaking attention to detail by our very own Smithsonian Institute. ... The Patriot is the absolute best movie of the year so far.

The Patriot is an entertaining film, certainly. There is beautiful photography and decent acting and direction. However, one should not rely on the film for historical accuracy. Although, as always with films, there are many small inaccuracies, there is no forgiving one of the central themes of the movie.
