Film Analysis

Based on the film "The Patriot"(2000), dir. Ronald Emmerich. The paper is about; How Benjamin (played by Mel Gibson) represents the American man. How is the representation of the American man in "The Patriot" similar to the ideology of what the American man was like in the Revolutionary War time period (1775-1783) and also how is it different. Look for writings from American and British writers during that time period as well as paintings (1775-1783). Also readings about the film "The Patriot" should be helpful. The film is available to rent on youtube for 4$ i will pay the rental fee of course. If you can find it somewhere else cheaper that is good also. At least 3 readings peer-reviewed articles must be included in bibliography and 1 book (individual chapters accepted).
