“…For we must fight this war, in meeting houses and Congress and the halls of Parliament, as well as on the field! But what it's all about, you'll really never know. And yet it—it— it's so much simpler than any of you think. We give all we have. We fight! We die, for a simple thing. Only that a man could stand.” We start this semiquincentennial Fourth of July with a movie I watched when I was young. A Disney film based on a novel that I also read as a child. Assuredly the novel is better as I recall it being more focused on the characters while this really only cares about everything as it relates to the Revolutionary War. Indeed what does Johnny Tremain or any of the other people care about besides liberty and freedom? Johnny himself seems to care little when he is unable to continue in the trade he was naturally gifted toward and learned his whole life up to that point.
