I am watching this movie for my history though film class. This movie is supposed to help us learn what the war was like. The filmmaker is trying to tell us how important the war was. They were also trying to tell us how Washington handled the war. They were trying to tell us how everything went done and how organized they were during the war. They people didn't live in houses with a lot of electronics. This movie was in color not black and white. You could tell it wasn't that old by the clothes they were wearing. They also didn't have enough equipment for everyone who was fighting in the war. I was wondering how the horses would get shot at and not fall over and die. People would be shot at or stabbed and they wouldn't die. These guys dressed similar to the people that were in the other movie I watched. They also all rode on horses, there were no cars. I liked how they talked in different languages. I also liked how they would find a solution when something wasn't what they needed it to be. I also liked how they made things work. I didn't like when they would all ride up on horses and no one would say anything to the other person. I liked this movie more than the other movies we have watched. I think this movie had a good theme to it and it seemed more realistic. You couldn't tell that they were acting this out they made it seem real. I would like to see other movies filmed by this director. I think the different angles made the movie more entertaining. I liked how they made a positive out of the negative things.
