content: Johny Tremain is Disney's telling of a young man's involvement in the beginnings of the American Revolution. Is it dated? Yes. Is it oriented to a young audience? Definitely. Is there dramatic license taken at times. Yep. But at the same time this is one of those movies that Disney, or anyone else, simply doesn't make any more. An unabashedly patriotic ode to the colonials who decided to shake off the shackles of a King and work to create a brand new nation.The highlights for me were the recreations of the skirmish at Lexington Commons and the battle which began at Concord Bridge where the Minutemen, a bunch of merchants, farmers and ordinary folk took on what was then the most powerful military on the planet. These were the first battles in this country's fight for independence. Stirring!
