In this first full episode of the Full Patriot Review, I will go over one of the most extreme and grossly offensive aspects of the film. That being its portrayal of racial relations in colonial South Carolina, and the institution of slavery. It shows that, far from popular opinion, this is much more than just a 'popcorn movie' where we can watch American heroes beat up on comic-book villains. Rather, it represents another chapter in a long string of dangerously revisionist media, the likes of which has a very real negative impact on society. Think I'm being a little too extreme? Well, watch the video...and you'll see what I mean!
