A decent historical movie

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie to see the progress movies had made throughout history. The was about a young boy who helped distribute knowledge about the British. He had a burned hand and couldn't do much else so he took the job. He was tasked with remembering the names of important people in history and deliver messages to them. The acting was pretty bad and so were the special effects used. The video was grainy and you can tell the set isn't as good as they are today. How Johnny was trained to ride the horse seems inaccurate to me. Along with the the tea party. The stand off with the Brits and how they picked them off so easily seems unlikely. I like how after the court case Johnny showed his dad he didn't need him or the cup. How Johnny knew his grandpa couldn't make a new handle so he tried to. Also how Johnny's impairment didn't stop him from trying to help. I didn't like how much of the og story was taken out. overall it was an ok movie. It did have historical accuracy. But it should not be looked at as something that'll teach you a lot. It was interesting to see how they made preformed everything in such an old film. It wouldn't be the end of the world if i never saw anything with the same people ever again.
