I am watching this movie for a history through film class. We are watching it to see what they were trying to convey to Americans in 1957.
The movie makes me question its historical accuracy a lot because the characters are very emotionless. During the battles they react very calmly to people dying. They are very small battles and they don't last very long.
I liked that the movie was trying to make the viewers feel patriotic although they didn't do a very good job.They did a good job with the costume wardrobe and the setting. I liked the old houses they had in the setting.
The characters in the movie had little to no emotion. They tried to show that the girl liked Johnny but you could hardly tell because the actors showed almost no emotion. The militia fighters in the war had very slow reaction times and sometimes no reaction at all. Even when Johnny burnt his hand in the silver his reaction was very dull.
