I think, to some extent, Americans today realize that the Revolutionary War was largely about the British posing obstacles to American expansion West, and to the extermination of the Native Indian tribes, and the exploitation of their lands, so, Americans aren't quite as proud of the Revolutionary War as they used to be.
The cute innocent gorgeous daughter in The Patriot (2000) (movie night recommendation) was even more jaw-droppingly stunning in person. Like WAAAAAAY more and was not innocent at all. Circa 1999 or 2000 I was at a private party featuring top DJ Paul Oakenfold in NYC, hosted by SoftImage (IIRC) - and she was there with this thick Asian dude who apparently was a rich video game developer. They were a couple though I forget if they were engaged or married or what. I'd already seen the movie, and didn't even much recall her 18th century dainty character but her 20th century beauty in person was an assault on your eyes.
