I liked "The Patriot" but I really liked "We Were Soldiers". Uncle Mel can act and had an eye for Directing movies.
I liked that one too. I think a fantasy of mine is to live in simpler times of an all White America in the 1790s to 1820s, born in 1750 and died at 70 surrounded by beautiful White children, family, neighbors, no nignogs or shitskins, working the fields, home cooked meals, no TV or internet. Amazing.
How about Last of the Mohicans? Epic I thought.
Wish I could’ve lived that America, even up to the 1880’s old west. Did a lot of re-enactments from French & Indian era to Rev War era to the mountain man days to the Dragoons of the Mexican War to the Civil War to the old west in my day. It was a lot of fun learning about and how to make or collect the items to be period correct be it clothing, weapons and other related ephemera of all the periods.
Then there were the mind blowing week long or better encampments where you got a taste of what it was like to be in those days. Amazing craftsmen reproducing items of the day from guns to canon to barrels to silver & copper works to tinsmithith to blacksmith to weaving to cobblers to you name it. Gunsmiths making the most beautiful and ornate flintlocks you’ve ever seen. Knife makers and hawk makers of same quality. The bead and leather works, again of outstanding quality. Hardcore fukrs who took it serious as hell to make it as authentic as it could be. Beautiful whole White families involved. It was amazing and inspiring to behold. Unfortunately it’s not as popular as it was from the sixties to 911. All us old guys are dyin’ off and with less and less youth to fill in the ranks it isn’t anything like it used to be. It’s still out there, but not the huge encampments there used be.
I agree 100%.
Those people are preserving vital skills that we will need after a collapse.
I’ve been wondering where to learn basic things like how to make and work with leather. Today we don’t realize how many critical things were made with leather back in the day. Everything from shoes to animal harnesses. Metal working and smithing is another major area.
The old war reenactment community sounds like a good place to learn those things.
