>America has the largest movie industry in the world
>No movies about the American Revolution
What gives? There was The Patriot which came out 25 years ago and thats basically it. Im sure theres some stuffy boring old shit from like 1943 that no one cares about, or maybe like some educational cartoons for kids, but NOTHING about the foundation of this country.

Why is there no big American Revolution kinos?

The people who live and work in Hollywood despise the founding fathers and what they stood for. They will never portray them in a positive light if they can help it.

>french fighting british over backwards nowhere colony and giving it independence to rub it in after winning
There is very little american in american revolution.

>>212335547 (OP)
John Adams (2008), it's a show though

>>212335630
My favorite part about this cope is that it was immediate. The British wanted to surrender to French officers, but the French refused the offer and they had to surrender to Americans instead.

>>212335547 (OP)
What gives is that there are thousands of Jewish movies and many just focused on Holocaust. You make the conclusion yourself to figure out who and what they really serve.

>>212335706
That is the whole rub it in part, french wanted full humiliation ritual, same as they did with germans in ww1.

American revolution has limited appeal to an international audience.

Watch one of the hundreds of documentaries on the subject instead

>>212335938
>muh limited appeal
you can say this about any historical movie from any country.

>>212335938
>can't make American historical movies because they only appeal to Americans
>can't make European historical movies because European film industries have no budget
I guess this is why we don't get historical movies

>>212335547 (OP)
Honestly think nobody has tried since The Patriot because it can't be topped

>>212335591
The people who benefit most from capitalism despise the country that allows them to make profit. Makes sense

>>212335547 (OP)
They're tearing down statues of their founding fathers because they owned slaves. You really think they'd make movies about them?

overthrowing government, revolutions, rebellions against tyranny

make the judeoboomer elite very nervous

also hollywood is overseen by military agencies

>>212335547 (OP)
>No movies about the American Revolution
You mean except for all the movies about the revolution?
Super obscure movies with actors you've never heard of like Mel Gibson and Al Pachino.
Every fucking kid int he country remembers watching the old Johnny Tremaine disney movie on the school tv.
Then you've got the John Adams miniseries with Paul Giamatti which is some of the best television ever produced about the most underrated of the founding fathers.

>>212336065
Rewatched this recently with all my friends, and we all walked away saying how a movie that was considered just okay when it came out, is putting anything new to shame almost 30 years later

>>212335547 (OP)
The Patriot is just Avatar without space

>>212336026
Historical movies can be risky. The civil war is over represented. I’d like to see a movie about the siege of Boston where the loyalists are run right the fuck out of town before the Contenental Congress even got their pantaloons on. https://youtu.be/0RT-ikYxOPw?si=D_CW0BnLh4umCcPp

>>212336265
>media from 50 years ago

grampa anything older than 2 years basically doesn't exist anymore in the current culture

>>212336608
Here's a picture of all the people who will ever give a shit about what fictional zoomer boogeymen think about anything.

Melly Sue only made The Patriot so he could continue his fanfic cinematic universe where he quantum leaps into his non-native counties history on a mission from god to fuck with the Brits

>>212335938
>colonists getting defeated has limited international appeal
no, the actual reason is that the American government doesn't want its people to feel inspired by such a notion.

>>212336671
he needs to do a movie where he plays Ghandi.
this board would love it.

>>212336671
>non-native
Gibson is actually an american by birth, he just moved to australia as a kid with his family.

America was founded in 1945

>>212336724
That's just Ghandi 2 from UHF

i agree, im surprised we didn't get a good revolutionary war movie in the 60s or 70s, but nowadays it would be deemed racist and controversial with how many people consider this nation to be "built on genocide".

>>212335547 (OP)
Hamilton, John Adams, 1776

its all crap. i want to watch saving private ryan but with muskets.

>>212337233
>saving private ryan but with muskets.
That is simply not possible. Warfare was too gentlemanly from the 1500s-1800s. Niggas literally lined up to get shot in their faggy ass tailcoats and generals scheduled pitched battles like it was a damn football game. The rawness, intensity, and brutality you see in modern warfare and even medieval/ancient warfare simply can't exist in flintlock-era warfare

>>212337510
Stupid and uneducated. Nice combo.

>>212335547 (OP)
Because boring old shit is better

>>212337510
There were multiple battles where British generals remarked on how American tactics were unusual, since many American hunters had more accurate rifles and instead of lining up in squares would hide behind cover and shoot at the advancing British that way. Apparently the British considered it extremely unsporting, but of course there's a reason they lost the war.

>>212338955
And that wasn't the reason. They lost because it was getting way too involved and islands just didn't want to commit so much resources to one up the french on the other side of the globe amidst international pressure.

>>212335547 (OP)
Because it's not kino. With that being said, I liked the HBO John Adams show.

>>212335547 (OP)
Watch the John Adams miniseries.

George Washington stole some cannons from the British and used them against them and it would make a good movie.

>>212335547 (OP)
No Jews or foreigners to worship in the story of the nation's founding.

>>212335938
Fuck the international audience.

>>212335547 (OP)
Hollywood hate America. Haven’t you figured that out yet?

That episode of righteous gemstones was kino and i want more of it. The South especially.

>>212340373
Im retarded that was the civil war. Point still stands.

>>212335547 (OP)
They don’t want to go into how much the US owes the French for support during the revolution

Also they don’t want to make movies about how the weak can stand up to the strong. How being the richest man in the world (King George II) means shit when the violence starts and people don’t want your money. How the lobbying system of the US was set up to track bribery and make it so the richest man in the world couldn’t just buy the colonies back. How billionaires aren’t necessary.

>>212336265
Who the fuck is Johnny Tremaine.

>>212336671
You need to go over there, to the Jeet section.

Jews aren’t heritage Americans and care about nothing befire that poem got slapped on Ellis island.

>>212335547 (OP)
The American revolution was lame. It was about muh taxes. It was a business enterprise more than anything. They couldn't even commit to the liberal values of the time because they didn't free the slaves like France did later

>>212335547 (OP)
The Americans are tsundere for the Brits and don't want to upset too much if they can help it.

>>212336088
Its more a cultural thing. Jews run hollywood and jews hate WASPs, simple really

>>212341641
Liberal values are shit and america has only gotten worse as it strayed away from the Roman republic ideals of volunteer farmer soldiers lording over the prime caste and embraced more and more democratic ideals. People who don’t have ownership stake in society, the useless eaters, peasants class and replaceable bugmen in the city should not vote.

>>212341773
Because WASP are as good or better than Jews in the legal, buisness and law pursuits except the selective breeding of the Boston Brahmin class made 6’2” model looking guys. That’s why for years they made films about nerds seething at the captain America football captain Ivy league kid.

>>212335547 (OP)
USA has become the British Empire of our time. It would draw negative connotations about US foreign policies. The military-industrial complex simply wouldn't allow that. (All major Hollywood movies require the approval of the CIA and the military apparatus).

>>212335547 (OP)
Drums Along The Mohawk
The Devil's Disciple
The Scarlet Coat
John Paul Jones

Revolution with Al Pacino is almost worth watching because it's such a gigantic mess
