The revelation that Charles O'Hara is the only general with the distinction of having surrendered to both Washington and Bonaparte is just 🤌

My favorite single clip from this movie to watch out of context is the line “tell me about… Ohio.”

As someone who is neither American or British, there were parts of the movie that were just too on the nose and made me roll my eyes. The scene with Cornwallis' dogs suddenly liking Benjamin more than their owner who by all acounts treated them well and choosing to abandon him made me roll my eyes. Also the coincidence that the main character was a guy from South Carolina(the first state to join the confederacy) who had free black workers and was also oposed to slavery in the 1770s is just a really forced coincidence to make the main character more likable, this comes up when the British were offering freedom to those who fought for them.

10:30 "The new aristocracy will be ... landowners!" Lolwut!? What did they think the old aristocracy were?? 😂

I love history buffs old intro

I can’t believe this is how I found out Tom Wilkinson passed away. 😢 R.I.P to one of the greats.

Small side note: I met Jason Isaacs at a comic con in Michigan (Motor City Comic Con), and he was an absolute delight. He was a true gentleman, shook hands with and had a smile for everyone meeting him for pictures (as I did), and was laughing and joking with everyone meeting him for autographs.

You wanna see Nick rip into a Mel Gibson movie? Watch the History Buffs review of Braveheart.

The Patriot is about as historically accurate as Inglorious Bastards...

As an american that at a young age watched the patriot and took its portrayals very seriously i appreicated nicks review educating me more on the subject necause sadly school doesnt do a good job of it either, as a lover of history now as someone "older" i relate to nick being so angry when history is needlessly changed or ignored to make a movie excellent review and reaction to the review :)

The laughs in British meme might be the only good thing out of this movie

As a "History Buffs" longtime subscriber, I really like when he gets worked up a little bit. As a latin american, I like the passion he shows in learning and portraying history. That said, there are other episodes when he is more calmed and composed, and still manages to deliver. Anyways, good video!

"Calm yourself down a little bit Nick" 😂😂😂

I feel as tho Americans view the film as pro-American whilst us Brits view it as anti-British. Also I have legit had someone online say to me that they believed the church burning scene in this was based on history so Hollywood films definitely do influence certain people

I love that intro, especially the transition between the painting and the cavalry charge from Waterloo

17:45 yup, René Auberjonois, maybe best known as Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, although I was first introduced to him in Police Academy V. And yes, Napoléon sister married into the Murat family and further down the line a female Murat married an Auberjonois and their son was René Auberjonois, the actor. RIP.

He has a valid point, see the patriot was screen around the world, so cultures that barely know about the U.S history and British history assumed this was true, just like with braveheart and apocalypto.

5:59 Not a VTH video without Chris’s family tree!

oh this is going to be fun.. i've watched history buffs  for years.. and yes he does rip into this movie pretty harshly but well deserved to a degree

edit: his old intro was fire

Jason Issacs is like Alan Rickman. He is perfect for playing bad guys. It is too bad he did not reprise his role as The Grand Inquisitor in live action.
