Date: July 4th, 2026 2:30 PM Author: animeboi (.) Fuck you, Roland Emmerich.
Fuck you for your depiction of happy pseudo-slaves who want nothing more than to work for their masters all day in the field.
Fuck you for simplifying a morally complex and nuanced war between combatants that had parents and children and loved ones into a simplistic “good vs. evil” wankfest.
Fuck you for trying to create a hero narrative out of an unrepentant, slave owning mass murderer solely because he didn’t kill white people and you knew Hollywood doesn’t care about the suffering of Native Americans.
Fuck you for using the genocide of Native Americans (Not one of which appear in this movie) as a plot device for Mel Gibson’s man pain when the figure his character was based on couldnt have cared less about the Native Americans he slaughtered or their families.
Fuck you for making Heath Ledger look like he can’t act.
Fuck you for casting Jason Isaacs, one of the best actors in Hollywood, to play one of the most poorly and lazily written bad guys I’ve ever seen and making him look like a hack.
Fuck you for making the most half-assed and artificial romance of the 2000s and killing off the love interest because you are incapable of creating anything that produces genuine emotion beyond embarrassment, anger and shame.
And ESPECIALLY fuck you for taking a war crime committed against Native Americans (“Burn the Church”) by Patriots and changing it so that the Patriots were victims of the British because you think it’s edgy.
