"One Man's Hero" tells the little-known story of the "St. Patrick's Battalion" or "San Patricios," a group of mostly Irish, and other immigrants of the Catholic religion, who deserted to Mexico after encountering religious and ethnic prejudice in the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. The plot centers around the personal story of John Riley, an Irishman who had been a Sergeant in the American Army, who is commissioned as a Captain in the Mexican Army, and commands the battalion, as he leads his men in battle, and struggles with authorities on both sides of the border.
Anyone who has studied the history of the Mexican-U.S. conflict will have no doubts come across the story of the St. Patrick's Battalion. It could have been made into an excellent movie, maybe even an Oscar contender, but instead it ends up like a bad B-Movie. Terrible acting, awful accents and worse of all are the action scenes, they made me cringe with embarrassment. My favorite part was when the credits came up at the end so I could check the director's name so I could avoid his future movies at all cost. It's a real shame though, if Scorcese or Spielberg had got their hands on the history of the St. Paddy's battalion they could have put together a fine cast and an excellent script. Let's hope like many movies, they decide to make a remake and let's hope someone can tell this fantastic historical event the way it should be told.
What a great story, and what a great film. Three days now since I left the theater and the little shiver still runs down my spine every now and again at the tragic and confusing events portrayed in this great film. The issues raised in the film are much more complex than one would think possible to bring out in a film... a normal war epic like Braveheart was able to reform a very vague myth into an almost childishly simple tunnel-vision of freedom good, English bad mentality, and I think comes off much shallower than the true history presented in One Man's Hero. This is a film very much rooted in the reality of a TRUE situation. The one thing most apparent in this situation is confusion, and the film molds itself deliberately to represent this to the audience. There is no big bad evil villain one can blame everything on... there are bad guys on both sides, and of course this means there are also good guys on both sides. The film centers its focus on the choice of the Irish soldiers who desert, because it is such a damn confusing choice indeed. Where is freedom if not in the "land of opportunity and freedom"? On which side is the grass greener? The tragedy of this story is that there is no magic utopia one can fight for and achieve, except in death; and this speaks volumes about our true world, not the mythical one people are used to seeing in movies. I admire this film so much because it is so sensitive to this issue. The director takes what seems to be a classic approach to what one would think would be a classic war-tragedy film (once again, like Braveheart, etc.), presenting it in a style of filming that recalls the glory days of John Huston.
But he turns it around on itself, so that we don't get lost in this golden/yesteryear view of 'well that was then... oh how horrible... but this is now'. Instead he presents at the same time all of the confusion of real life. The viewer gets invested in so many great characters, that your loyalties are pulled in different directions and are left wondering who to root for (or actually, who not to root for), just like the San Patricios themselves had to choose. This is a GREAT film, and a must-see for anyone willing to face up to the dark realities of our history, and appreciate the courageousness of those who try to bring life
Has the stuff of a cavalry classic...but it lacks the vision and personality to attain such a level of artistry.
