About Me
- Ms. Duke
- I am in my fifth year as a Social Studies teacher at Coventry High School and I love my students and my subject. I received my BA in History from ECSU and will complete my MA in American History at CCSU this spring. My areas of focus are military history and modern terrorism, the Antebellum Era, and the Civil War.
Was a good movie overall. I liked most of the battles, they seemed intense and were an accurate display of what they were really like back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jason, it was a good movie. It was not dull by anymeans. The characters in the movie were very accurate toward the way the people of that time period would have acted and been seen as. Overall if I were to rate this movie I would give it an 8 out of 10.
ReplyDeletei think that the movie was very good and it was very intersting. the outfits and clothes were just like it was like back then. the battles were cool. i really like the intensity of the battles. so overall i though it was very good.
ReplyDeletethe movie was good the battles they had were very good but not all of them seemed like it would not of happend back then
ReplyDeletei think the movie overall was good, and the battles were fought how they would be fought during the time period, a few things didnt make sense like when he took two muskets and shot them at the same time...
ReplyDeleteThe movie was fun to watch. It was both realistic and unrealistic in ways. The accuracy of the tactics used by both the British and the Native Americans were realistic. For example, the indians used guerrilla warfare ambush tactics while the British lined up to fight like they were in an open field (conventional warfare). The unrealistic parts were: The muskets were more accurate in the movie than in real life, and the 3 of the main dudes killed way too many enemy. Over all it was a good movie.
ReplyDeleteit was a good movie and it helps me understand the war between the french and indians ive seen it a few times and every time i watch it i learn something new
ReplyDeleteI liked the movie. The battles were fast and intense, and most of the movie was realistic to the time period. One of the main things that wasn't realistic was the accuracy of muskets but the movie wouldn't have been as cool if they missed 90% of the time. Overall a great movie.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a good movie...the battle scenes were very exciting and apparently historically accurate. It was realistic for the most part, the only critique i could make about realism is that the main character in parts took on a lot of people at once... he seemed very Rambo-ish (taking on several enemies without ever getting so much as a scratch).
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else has said, it was a good movie. The battles seemed realistic enough to show how battles were fought with just enough action to keep it from being a boring movie. Even though like everyone else said also that the muskets clearly are way to precise in the movie against real life at the time.
ReplyDeleteThe movie was good. The action was intense and the guerrilla warfare was pretty accurate. I though the battle at Ft. William Henry was not so accurate though. i laughed when the main character was picking people off in the woods from the fort battlements from 1/4 mile away, and when the cannonballs exploded when they hit the ground or walls, because cannonballs are not explosive. I might have missed it but was there a reason the girl jumped off the cliff when she was being escorted home?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the muskets in the movie were really unrealistic, some of the tactics they showed, especially in the siege scene, were really indicative of real 18th century warfare. Overall it was a good movie, more entertaining than real.
