>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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
