Jesus H. Christ - The Passion, Mel Gibson's bloody mess. By David Edelstein In the Road Warrior and Lethal Weapon films, as well as such one-shots as Conspiracy Theory (1997) and The Patriot (2000), Gibson courted martyrdom, and he achieved it. Bad reviews won't matter, either, since Gibson has called his critics "the forces of Satan" or, more charitably, the "dupes of Satan." After Gibson's pre-emptive blasts, an attack on his Passion will be interpreted by some as an attack on their religious beliefs instead of on filmmaking that is theologically, morally, and—by the way—artistically suspect. Gibson had an ingenious idea for promoting his Passion: as the film that the Jews don't want you to see. www.slate.com /id/2096025   (871 words)

The Lion In Winter (1968 Film) - John Barry, John Barry The Patriot: Original Motion Picture Score (2000 Film) ($13.98) In fact, it was this rousing brass and choral work for Anthony Harvey's 1968 adaptation of James Goldman's play about the rise of England's King Henry II that garnered Barry his second Academy Award. I agree with others who have already commented, that this score is Barry's best, and that is saying alot about the genius of it to evoke powerful emotions: wistful, threatening, angry and even insane: there is that finale, where hope (for eventual triumph) is also vividly felt through the music. www.cdswap.ws /Content/findonamazonus-Asin-B000002AN2.html   (383 words)

"The Patriot" 5-Piece Colonial Infantry Costume The story was re-enacted in the movie "The Patriot" (released in 2000), and one of the relics surviving that film is this uniform. An exact replica from its tricorne hat to the elaborate buttons adorning the the front of the jacket. And as a unit, it is thoroughly convincing in our imagined notion of such an American colonial patriot. www.americanmemorabilia.com /Auction_Item.asp?auction_id=9473&   (383 words)

VH1.com : Movies : Person : Tchéky Karyo : Biography Fans of historical film may recognize Karyo from his roles as Vincent Van Gogh (Vincent and Me) and famed prophet Nostradamus (Nostradamas) in addition to roles in such historical films as 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) and The Patriot (2000). After an audacious turn as a loose-hinged policeman in the hyperkinetically tasteless Dobermann (1997), Karyo appeared frequently in such English-language films as Wing Commander (1999), Messanger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999) (re-teaming the actor with Nikita helmer Besson), Saving Grace (2000), and Kiss of the Dragon (2001). Soon becoming one of France's most popular actors, Karyo, with over 50 film and television credits to his name, found that his popularity wasn't limited by international borders through roles in such films as The Return of Martin Guerre (1982), The Bear (1988), and director Luc Besson's influential La Femme Nikita (1990). www.vh1.com /movies/person/32675/bio.jhtml   (383 words)

Greg Palast - Blog The good news is, until Patriot Act 3 kicks in, they can't stop us selling the film to you directly. Not one single U.S. citizen hijacked a plane, yet President Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft, through powers seized and codified in the USA PATRIOT Act, fingered 270 million of us for surveillance, for searches, for tracking, for watching. The White House once said that Chavez' winning a crushing majority of the vote in his 2000 election did not confer "legitimacy" on Chavez' presidency. www.gregpalast.com /blog.cfm   (383 words)

Roland Emmerich Emmerich and Devlin next turned their epic visions to the decidedly lower-tech (but still CGI-enhanced) action of the American Revolution in the Mel Gibson summer vehicle The Patriot (2000). Geared to repeat with the endlessly- and creatively-hyped version of Godzilla (1998), Emmerich instead faced the conundrum of directing a $100 million grossing film that did not live up to box office expectations. Born and educated in West Germany, Emmerich studied production design as well as direction at the Munich Film and Television School. www.djangomusic.com /actor_bio.asp?pid=P+88961   (274 words)

Reel.com: Hollywood Confidential - July 5, 2000 Expectations dropped somewhat when the entire film was screened — the film's first act turned out to be the strongest — but box-office projections remained high until opening day last Wednesday, when The Patriot's $5 million gross suggested to some that the five-day gross wouldn't be quite as historic as planned.

Archives 2000 R: ARCHIVE, S: MOVIES, D: 08/10/2000, B: Alicia Potter, Anchoring Steve is a tour de force performance by the incredibly versatile Logue, an actor still best known for his greaseball shtick as "Jimmy the Cab Driver" on MTV, though he's appeared in a slew of films, including this year's Reindeer Games and The Patriot. The title of her film actually refers to a philosophy of cool, a nonchalant way of looking at the world that's, well, guaranteed to get a guy laid. Written by Goodman, her sister Greer (who also stars), and North (thinly disguised as the film's hero Dex) himself, and directed by Goodman, Steve offers hope to the romantically challenged. www.bostonphoenix.com /archives/2000/documents/00523985.htm   (1434 words)

Flagwire The cavalryman's reputation was hardly enhanced by Hollywood's 2000 film "The Patriot," starring Mel Gibson, in which the exceptionally evil British commander, Col. William Tavington, was based in part on Tarleton. Colonel Tarleton has been credited with the capture, in 1776, of George Washington's Continental military rival, Gen. Charles Lee, surprised in his nightshirt and slippers at a tavern in Basking Ridge, N.J. Tarleton was renowned for his daring and for the ferocious speed of his attacks. One of the four flags is believed to be from a Connecticut cavalry regiment, which lost a standard to Tarleton's troops in Westchester County in New York on July 2, 1779. www.flagwire.com /index.php?doc=28&aid=813   (1415 words)

Traître ou Patriote Traître ou Patriote (in English version: Traitor or Patriot) is a Quebec documentary produced by the Office National du Film in 2000. Like other documentaries of his (Le Mouton noir, for example), Traître ou Patriote showcases Jacques Godbout's own style of putting himself into the narrative thread by setting up scenes where he researches his subject and interacts with others, to help push the documentary forward. One example of this is when he is filmed asking historians at a reception if they can recognize the picture of Godbout, the politician, which they cannot. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/traitre_ou_patriote   (196 words)
