I'm sitting here catching up on some work that I'm behind on and Mel Gibson's The Patriot has come on television. I've somehow avoided seeing this movie, not because I'm not patriotic, but rather because Mel Gibson bugs the crap out of me.
Anyway, those damn Redcoats have just shown up and their acting like jerks. How dare they come in and occupy someone else's country and burn their houses and kill their children and make up the rules and laws as it suits them. Especially when Mel is just trying to stay neutral and just wants to live and let live! Oh man, they've really pissed Mel off now! Screw it, now it's time to go kick some occupation military ass.
Am I the only one who sees more than just a little irony here.
