francis marion was one of the influences for the main character of benjamin martin in the 2000 movie "the patriot", which according to crawford "exaggerated the swamp fox legend for a whole new generation". the contrast between the film's depiction of martin "as a family man and hero who single-handedly defeats countless hostile brits" and the real-life marion was one of the "egregious oversights" that "time" magazine cited when listing "the patriot" as number one of its "top 10 historically misleading films" in 2011. in the film, the fictional character benjamin martin (mel gibson) describes violence he committed in the french and indian war.
