影片對(duì)白 Would you tell me, please,
Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three
thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's
rights as easily as a King can.
文化面面觀 The Patriot：電影背后的故事
我觀之我見
 Before they were soldiers, they were family.
Before they were legends, they were heroes. Before there was a nation, there was
a fight for freedom.
這是 The Patriot 這部電影的tagline。The
Patriot是一個(gè)美國(guó)式的“逼上梁山”的故事，梅爾·吉布森在影片中不太情愿地成為了一位為自由而戰(zhàn)斗的父親。節(jié)選的這個(gè)片斷發(fā)生在南卡萊羅納參戰(zhàn)前夕，人們召集會(huì)議討論要不要參戰(zhàn)。參加會(huì)議的代表們各懷心思，獨(dú)立派和保皇派唇槍舌劍，即使是獨(dú)立派內(nèi)部也存在分歧，一些人希望和國(guó)王談判來取得獨(dú)立，另一些人則認(rèn)為只有通過戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)才能獲得獨(dú)立。從中我們可以窺見美國(guó)民主的淵源。
