At the beginning of "The Patriot", the scene shows a happy scene. A family with many members. Although Benjamin's wife died early, she has seven children. There is a farm and a manor at home. The children grow up healthily, play with each other, and live happily and peacefully.

Such a life is undoubtedly what the audience dreams of.

The square was so quiet that many viewers stared at the screen with their chins in their hands, with a quiet smile on their faces and intoxicated expressions. For them, there is no more soothing to their hearts than such a shot.

But after the opening 7 minutes, the atmosphere was disrupted.

At night, Benjamin walked to the children's room with a light and coaxed the young children to sleep one by one. Then, he came to the living room. There, two of the seven children, the eldest son of seventeen-year-old Kabali and the son of thomas, were waiting for him there.

Close-up, an envelope is placed on the table.

That was the letter sent by the postman.

"What exactly is this letter? It's so enchanting!" General Pan Xing, not far from me, pulled his collar. It seemed that the old man was already impatient.

Benjamin sat down next to the table and signaled the children to unpack the letter.

Jiabaoli and Thomas rushed forward and opened the envelope. Jiabaoli unfolded the letter under the light, and then told his father word by word, "Peter is joining the Independence Army!"

"Dad, Peter is one year younger than me. He can participate, why can't I?" Jiabaili asked hopefully at Benjamin.

"You can't!" Benjamin glanced at his son coldly and rejected his thoughts. "No matter what kind of war it is, it will only bring harm. It's just my thoughts." Benjamin turned his head and looked out the window, with a lonely expression on his face.

Medium shot. Outside the window, a full moon hangs high on the azure sky, and the fields are filled with fog, trees, crops, and rivers are all immersed in the fog, which is beautiful, and such a scenery is undoubtedly refreshing.

"Jiabali, as long as I live, I will not agree to you join the Independence Army. Live a good life. Don't think of any battle." Benjamin stood up and patted his son on the shoulder.

The young Jiabaili looked at her father, and her eyes showed a disappointed and stubborn light.

The conversation between the father and son caused a slight commotion among the audience.

"Why didn't Benjamin join the Independence Army?! Is he a lackey for the British?!"

"Yes, if you are a hero, you should join the Independence Army!"

"If you guys, if you were Benjamin, had such a good home and living like this, and had seven children, would you join the Independence Army?"

People whispered and burst into laughter from time to time. On the screen, Benjamin walked to the window and took a deep breath of fresh air. He turned to his two sons and said, "The Council has notified me. Let me drive back to Charles Town tomorrow. You can follow me too."

This sentence made the dejected young man smile.

Medium shot. A winding road in the morning, a carriage wheel breaks into the picture. The camera pulls away, and there are cheerful children sitting on the carriage. Benjamin and Gabriel follow behind on horseback.

The camera rises, and in the distance, a huge town appears among the trees.

Charles Town, a town near the bay, carriages drove into the town. The streets were covered with well-dressed pedestrians, including merchants, craftsmen, and ordinary workers. In the harbor next to the street, huge ships were docked, and the high masts were spectacular in the sun.

There are no cars, no zebra crossings, no lights and wine, and what is presented to you is a standard town in the 18th century.

"I miss it so much!" Old Pershing looked at the town above and said to Eisenhower beside him: "When I was a child, the town where I lived was basically nothing like the picture. Although my life at that time was incomparable to the material conditions and now, it was millions of times happier than now. Sometimes, material progress does not mean that our living conditions and civilization progress."

Old Pershing's words immediately made Coolidge, Crowze and other older people nodded repeatedly.

The town on the picture was easy to find when I first chose the location. In 1930, it was basically impossible to find a town in 1776. In order to find this town, Dunar's legs were almost running thin, and finally found it in a place near Haiti, Georgia. The economy was underdeveloped, and local residents had always used fishery as their main source of life, so their lifestyle was little affected by big cities. In many aspects, they retained the living habits of many years ago. The buildings in the town were also very old, which surprised us.

Of course, before the shooting started, we also carried out a large-scale renovation of the town to make it strictly conform to the characteristics of the era in 1776.

Benjamin's family came to town, and the children rushed up the steps of a large house and then threw themselves into the arms of a woman.

"Aunt Charlotte!" the children shouted at a woman standing at the door.

When the woman appeared on the screen, bursts of awesome bursts of exclamations suddenly broke out in the square.

"Miss Jiabao!"

"Miss Jiabao! So beautiful!" Tee, wearing a light green long skirt, revealing her charming arms like long lotus root nodes, her blonde hair tied a very beautiful joint, with a charming face. Standing at the door, she was like a rose that had just bloomed, so charming.

No matter when or in what movie it is, as long as Jiabao appears, it will definitely cause a burst of awesomeness.

This is her charm.

The children snuggled up to Charlotte and were playing. Benjamin, who was originally extremely majestic at home, seemed a little embarrassed in front of Charlotte. The look of Charlotte looking at his brother-in-law was also very unusual.

"In my experience, the relationship between these two people is definitely unusual." Rutman is no longer as if the president is sitting upright. He put one leg on the handle of the chair, smacking his lips and bowing his waist, no different from ordinary people.

Medium shot. At night. On the streets of Charles Town, piles of bonfires were lit, and many people were crowded in the town. People among them used all kinds of people. Farmers, small merchants, farmers, farmers, soldiers... were varied and very lively. These people were in groups of three or five, discussing loudly with each other, and from time to time, some people raised their guns and shouted at the sky. The atmosphere was very warm.

Benjamin, dressed in very exquisite clothes, walked through the crowd with Gabriel and headed towards the center of the street.

"Hanging King George!"

"Hang him! Hang the British!" The doll burned and scolded loudly. At the same time, someone threw the British flag into the fire.

The atmosphere in the movie suddenly became tense.

Old Pan Xing and others immediately raised their backs. Such a picture was undoubtedly very exciting for these veterans.

In the mid-scene shot, an older man who was a little fat standing in a carriage and shouting to the person below: "I am Peter Hall. I have lost my left leg and my left hearing, all to attack the French and Indians for the British, but how did King George repay me?! He used taxes to charge my other leg!"

"Hang the British!"

"Twist them out!"

The people below shouted loudly.

"Not to mention, Jennings' cameo appearance is really interesting." In my back row, Marskolov and others looked at the fat man on the screen and laughed.

This fat man is no one else. It is Emile Jennings, who is famous in the Hollywood film industry. He may not know much about this person. People in later generations may not know much about him. His status among Hollywood actors is extremely important. Because in history, he was called the founding actor of the Oscars and won the Best Actor at the first Oscars.

Jennings entered the industry very early and was famous for playing tragic characters. Whether he was the boss, director, or ordinary colleague of Hollywood film companies, he praised his acting talent. Now, he is one of the veterans of Paramount Film Company.

Jennings would not have been included in the cast list of "Patriots". He played a supporting role in "Gone with the Wind". When two movies were filmed, he came to us for a walk and happened to meet the actor who played Peter Hall, who was not performing well, so I pulled him in and it turned out to be very outstanding.

When Jiabaili passed by this fat old man, he stopped in front of his woman. The two young people knew each other and felt wrong about each other.

Immediately afterwards, the anger of the people on the streets was fully reflected in the parliament.

Close-up, a wooden mallet knocked hard on the table, and the speaker announced the beginning of the meeting.

The speaker was about to announce the first issue when it was interrupted by people. Angry people asked for recruitment against the British. The speaker had to invite Colonel Habel to give a speech.

When Colonel Hapur, dressed in military uniform, appeared, there was a burst of applause in the square.

The person who plays Hapur is James. As a veteran of DreamWorks, James has won the recognition and love of all Hollywood filmmakers and the American people with his acting skills. Playing a tough guy has always been his specialty. For the people, their favorite thing is the toughness of the scar on James' face when he is angry, which is what fascinates them the most.

It can be said that in Hollywood, there are many people who are famous for playing tough guys, but if there are few who are unique and can never forget them, there are probably only John Wayne and Gary Coopers who can compete with James.

James, wearing a military uniform, was tall and handsome, and his whole body exuded a military iron-blooded look, which immediately brightened the hall of the parliament.

"Everyone knows why I came here. I am not a speaker, and I don't want to convince everyone of the reasons for fighting. I am a soldier. We are fighting. Now, many states have issued the Declaration of Independence. I hope your state can join our ranks! Now, eight of the thirteen states have contributed to our Independence Army. I hope your state can become the ninth!"

Although Colonel Hapur's words were not passionate enough, they were very important.

"Massachusetts are fighting, Virginia is fighting, but there is no war in South Carolina!" Someone stood up and objected.

"We are not fighting for independence from one or two states. We are fighting for one country!" Colonel Hapur immediately retorted.

"Then tell me. Which country are we fighting for?!" someone stood up and questioned.

"America!" Before Colonel Habel could answer, the fat man named Peter Hall stood up and shouted.

"USA!"

"America!" He was passionate, and many people roared and waved the star and striped flags in their hands, especially the veterans.

For these people, the United States, this word is the existence that represents the highest honor.

"We are the nation of America, but our freedom and rights are subject to the tyrants three thousand miles away!" Peter Hall shouted loudly.

Medium shot. Sitting in the crowd, Benjamin stood up and faced Peter Hall and asked, "Mr. Hall, why should I trade three thousand miles of tyrants from other places for three thousand tyrants a mile away?"

His words immediately made a burst of laughter burst out from the parliament.

"This Benjamin Martin is not patriotic!" Old Pershing looked at the screen and shouted angrily.

On the screen, Benjamin's speech continued: "Col. Habel, if you ask me if I'm angry about the heavy taxes of the British, I do. If you ask me, agree or not agree with American independence. I think so. But if you ask me if I can declare war on the British army, my answer is no."

Benjamin's words immediately put the parliament in greater chaos.

The audience in the square was a little confused. They saw not a hero, but a coward.

"Is this what Colonel Martin, who was furious in the British-French War, said?" Someone in the parliament immediately stood up and ridiculed Benjamin.

Benjamin didn't speak, and Habel did it on his behalf.

Habel looked at Benjamin Martin, and then looked at the man who mocked Benjamin. He said, "Mr. Martin, the person I respect most in the parliament. I have fought a war with him under the command of General Washington, and he is the most trustworthy!"

In the face of doubts, Benjamin Martin talked: "I have seven children, my wife has passed away. If I go to fight, who will take care of them?! Remember my words, this war is not on the front line, but in our homeland, our children will experience the horror of war, and their innocence will die with us!"

Benjamin Martin's dialect made all the people in the parliament bow their heads.

Among the audience, the original restlessness disappeared immediately.

At this moment, people see that they are not a tall and unhumane character, but a real person, and a person who is no different from them.

Such a character is true, because the truth has deeply touched the heartstrings of the people.

Yes, if it weren't forcing me to take such a path?

Medium shot. Outside the door of the hall, Benjamin and Gabriel stood together, and the father and son were separated by a distance and did not speak for a long time.

Jiabaili questioned why his father did not agree with recruiting soldiers, and said that his father's actions made him feel humiliated.

This young man, who was excited, obviously could not agree with his father's point of view.
