I just watched The Patriot again on Christmas night. Thing is, Mel's Martin character was not a Sam Adams or John Adams type. He just wanted to be left alone. He didn't step up to set up the guerilla style militia until after the dishonorable corrupt dragoon leader killed his son, stole his freeman laborers, and torched his house.
At this point, I’m ready to be both Sam Adams and John Adams.
