American Revolution on Film

He didn’t have previous records of commanding a large group of armies but as it turned out, he became the commander of chief of the conventional military forces. His natural leadership skills as depicted in most of the American Revolutionary films such as , Revolution, The Crossing, Benedict Arnold: A Question of Honor, and The Patriot enabled him to hold the American military together for quite a long time, a skill that enabled him to win the Yorktown war and finally led the great nation of America to independence. Most importantly, George was appointed into the commanding position in June 14th 1775 and didn’t go back home for over five years. He was coming from outside of New England and this too was an added advantage, not only in the war but also in the political arena.

In most of the wars that George fought, he couldn’t just volunteer to take up the mantle which most people were afraid of – he was a brave and courageous young man, very ambitious and the first president of the United States of America. He gave up his family, wealth and freedom for the noble cause of history and just like many men among the army members during the American Revolution Era, he was blinded by selfish gain thus turning his story to be the biblical Judas of his time hence leading to the unacceptable of his name to be included into the books of warriors of the revolution cause. The film is seen as being selective and selfish since the stories such as Benedict Arnold’s story are equally important and should be included and written among other names like George Washington and John Adams.
