"The Patriot" is known for the inspiration in it and delivers that so perfectly since we know Ben Martin was a good man, working the farm with his family. He had done some shitty things but it was understandable why he did them and it a kind of atonement to live in that peaceful way.
Then the Brits came to start wantonly killing with one of his boys going down from it so immediately we absolutely hate those bastard Brits. Unknown how much historical truth there was to that much brutality but it doesn't seem credible Gibson just pulled it out of the air.
There's all sorts of guerrilla war with the Brits and son, Gabriel, was sewing together the blown up parts of the thirteen-star flag. Martin and his militia crew had a great time bushwhacking those bastard Brits in multiple engagements. We're diggin' it with this guy, Martin, since he's highly-intelligent, well-versed in law and on the battlefield, crazy cool, and brave beyond belief.
Immense tragedies take place since Martin's militia take their losses in the troops and their families. We start hearing stay the course quite a bit. They did and they had to with Cornwallis finally falling apart at the hands of the Americans and the French and what a grand moment to be American.
There's not even a small problem with the movie since it must have been grand.
Long after the movie, we started hearing stay the course so frequently it became cliche in the context of any military conflict and the reason that's a false extension is there has never been another American war like that one. The people were fighting for freedom from the invader and they have never had to do that again although the Confederates may try to make the case they were doing the same thing.
Taking that partial Revolution to an extension, it would have wound up with two independent countries and I suspect they would never have stopped fighting. Unknown how that would have actually played but the countries in Europe are in close contact and they have delighted in fighting each other for centuries.
That's a marginally-relevant side note since the primary thesis is regarding the transmogrification of staying the course for the purpose of Independence and doing it for any other military purpose when they are specifically not the same. That's in part why the Rockhouse decries the use of fake news when news with that type of thematic distortion in it is inherently fake but that would never get filtered by any of these posturing clowns who say they will protect against it.
Staying the course meant nothing in the context of the Middle East since it was always a possible to turn around to go back home. Staying the course has ultimate relevance when you're fighting for Independence and you can't go back to home because the Brits fucking burned it.
On the basis of that which it presents, I love the movie and have watched it multiple times since of course it's inspiring to see the people fighting to be free along with the side story about a black man earning his freedom. He fought for that and then he continued fighting for America. The movie is riddled with all manner of inspiration. Mel Gibson is strongly religious and that showed at various points but so was America at that time and I didn't think he was heavy-handed about it so the combination of all these things was exceptionally inspiring.
I do have a problem with distortion of staying the course and that case is already made.
There's no need for some extended editorial since you can readily infer it.
