- Produced in 2006 by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, this film features the story of George Washington's most important military achievements and special personal moments of his life. The film sheds new light on old hero by portraying him as kind and brave man who changed the history of the world.
George Washington’s best quality for me was his ability to listen to the advice of his subordinates. He was aware of his strategic limitations and very open to new ideas which gave him eventual victory.
American fought for it's freedom but now privenety others to do so
What a shame to honestly
@Gravelgratious AND he gave up his position and power, willingly and openly, transferring power. This is something NO ONE IN HISTORY EVER DID. He was appalled when people wanted to call him "king", replying that America just faught tyranny through 8 years of war, and that he was returning to civilian life. That, to me, was his single greatest act and a true indication of his love of America and points to the strength of his beliefs in freedom and liberty. I am in awe of what our founding fathers created. The more I read and learn, the more amazed, the more proud and the more patriotic I become. I look at the flag ans am reminded of what they almost died for, for ALL OF US. So, when I hear Trump and Republicans speak about tearing apart our democracy and getting rid of the constitution I become enraged, over and over again. We have to be ever vigilant, as our democracy and our freedom is a fragile gift we have to defend and fight for every day

The guy who played George Washington also played Colonel John Glover in the 2000 HBO TV movie, "The Crossing" about the crossing of the Delaware and subsequent Battle of Trenton. Not the biggest budget film, but considering the lack of good Revolutionary War movies, I would highly recommend it. Especially with Christmas coming up!
Great movie. Really hit home in terms of that war’s violence as well as how human Washington actually was. Jeff Daniels played an outstanding Gen Washington
Roche has somehow played as many American Officers as Nazi Officers all while being Frenchman lol.
Peter Woodward also played a British officer in "The Patriot" just as he did here. Surprised to see that.
Also briefly played the fuhrer in the Man in the High Castle too.
Sebastian Roche-----I remember him from Law & Order, he played an out of control rock star, character name C-Square, the guy is an amazing actor, he can play anybody and make it believable.
It is truly amazing how inspiring this man was, especially given his level of self-awareness. Motivating his men to actually attack and endure this hard endeavor is just on example of his unique influence.
Gosh this was beautiful! Thank you Mt Vernon Ladies for making this for a nation which desperately needs it... and him.
I was Indian but now I am American I like and love George Washington. USA,USA ,USA,USA,USA,USA,USA,USA,USA,USA.😊
We are happy to have people like you🇺🇸
You are very gracious sir
Native Indian or Hindu Indian?
Are u voting for trump
@zachfrey8541 When hell freezes over
I'm not American but I love the story of one of the greatest general in America.
YOU ARE A PATRIOT IN SPIRIT! BE AND BECOME YOUR NATION'S OWN FOUNDER!
LIBERATE HUMANITY NOW, FROM ANY AND ALL INADVERTANT FORMS OF SLAVERY!!

@@original.intent.bitcoin *YEAH! FREEDOM!*
Not the greatest I'd say, but absolutely the humblest when it came to command.
Washington was never a particularly great general.

man i grew up watching this movie at my grandmas i don’t know why but it always gets me so hyped up
Where are the truly great men today? Men of unwavering conviction and morals? Men who will not budge from these qualities? I do not see them myself, and I am sad for it. If you are out there, for the love of God, please step forward.
HIS NAME IS DONALD J. TRUMP
These men were a different breed… Men amongst men
They gave their lives , their wealth and their souls to say they will live Free
President George Washington's example of selflessness, honor, loyalty and duty to this nation should be the standard that any/all politicians should either strive to be or are. Otherwise they do this great nation and the millions of brave citizens who paid the Ultimate price of giving there lives for freedom not merely a dishonor but disgrace all who work tirelessly that this great nation may endure. As Benjamin Franklin said to a woman who approached him and asked him "what type of government has been created" after the creation of the US Constitution was written he replied " a Republic madam, now if only we can keep it". Words to never forget.
Amen!
You got that right.
Ok the Braddock’s Defeat flashback was pretty epic.
@StarWarrior91 Braddock was a good and well accomplished soldier, but he was the wrong general for that kind of fighting
That was a greatly appreciated detail! The infamous Braddock Expedition is an interesting footnote of the French & Indian War and Colonel Washington led the retreat succesfully.
Was super surprised when I heard Stephen Lang narrating this. Great and underrated actor!
“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” - George Washington 1777
The more one learns about him, the higher his star rises.
@RC 591 about him owning a slave?
@RC 591 did you receive my reply?
When european monarchs and dictators learned that Washington declined being declared the king of the colonies they were in awe .
This is exceptional. The cinematography is excellent and the story telling even better. General Washington was truly an inspirational leader. President Washington set an example on how to lead. Thank you, for producing this short movie. Well done. 🎗🎗🎗
*Freedom.*
He did. God bless General of the Armies and First Commander-in-Chief President George Washington wherever he is.
Hopefully he sends his blessings and gets rid of Trump. This country can’t go into totalitarianism when the men of the revolutionary war fought so valiantly.
Simply stunning the lengths George Washington went to in order to secure the victorious outcome of the American Revolution, and the spirit he held to continually aid the nation despite his longing for a peaceful retirement at Mt Vernon.
He gave us all that he had.
Indeed, he did. What a man he was.
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Historical movie with me .
Totally ditto. 😊
If we remain true to his memory 💘
Well get ready boys !!! We
Bout to need to fight for our freedom
Again
General Washington defines the word CHARACTER.
As a general, we tend to embellish him a bit. However there is one discipline in military leadership he has where he is totally unrivaled. His ability to keep his army capable of fighting.
Washington treated his soldiers like family , Because they were his family. He listened to them , took care of his own.
Wonderful picture of a great leader. Thank you for making and sharing freely this movie. You have done a great job.
Great film. More of this please.
This was excellent, thank you for this great movie.
One of the greatest leaders that history has known. I am really interested in knowing more about this man
He never sought a great name for himself, offering his service but demanding nothing, including honors. The Europeans were stunned by his humility in resigning his commission and turning down a crown. They thought him the greatest man of his era. In eight years he set the country on a stable path that would be able to stand without him. You'll find that in books too.
Thank you for teaching American history.
this presentation is exceptional, greatly entertaining and informative
I've been to Fort Necessity .... There you learn that George Washingtom almost single-handedly started the French and Indian War! The 7 Years War!
Live from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇺🇲💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
If we remain true to his memory? Wow, we haven't exactly done that!
Im British a good historical segment of early shared history...well done.
If I'm not mistaken, the actor that played Gen. Braddock also played Gen. Cornwallis's aide in The Patriot.
You are correct
@@makingmajic1938General Charles O’Hara. Who surrendered Cornwallis’ sword at Yorktown.
Well done . . . the story feels like real people . . . not characters in a novel or official history textbook.
Washington had one great strength as a commander; he could keep an army together no matter how bad things became. Which was a good thing as he lost a lot of battles. I give him credit for realizing early on that the Americans couldn't fight their way out of an outhouse. Washington knew they lacked the professional training required to defeat the British in open battle. Then again, he was incapable of training them and we had to wait til von Stueben showed up.
General Washington always was my mentor. 🇺🇸
Impressive and beautifully made. Well done!
I love this
I am proud to be a American Sailor 🇺🇸⚓
The French and Indian war battle was very well choreographed.
It says independence war tho
0:57
I would love to get a DVD or Blu-Ray Copy of this movie.
Please do more stuff like this!
I love George Washington
george washington you are man of smart people
you are an inspiration to me washington hope is a great word and belief
Liberty Or Death....Don't Tread On Me!
The Battle Cry of our Revolution will always be relevant to every debate....Man never stops to control other men....
Is that Stephen Lang as the narrator?
A good movie overall for sure, but also probably has one of the best looking forms of The Battle of The Monongahela I've ever seen put to film.
George Washington 22:39 deserves the honor and gradiosity that He achieved.
It's amazing how a bunch of undisciplined and farmers can overcome the expertly trained British and Hessians. They truly wanted to be free.
Hey, it's the "laughs in British" guy from The Patriot!
that's me
A great man without doubt
Great quality acting and production. Also score.
Great Script Too, Very unhistoric and biased. Clearly the British won
1900 i love America and ay form philippines
*Freedom.*
Who is the man playing General Washington? BTW, excellent movie. I may use this later in the year when my 7th graders are learning about the Revolution.
Sounds like Sebastian Roché, who played Colonel John Glover in "The Crossing"
@@lamondracing9832 Ah, yes, thank you. Knew he sounded and looked familiar.
If only George Washington was alive to see what we have become in America I think he would be very upset with how we act and selfish self-centered we have become
@@JB-uv4hmyou might try reading the correct books and not the ones that play fast and loose with facts in order to get lots of attention and make some money.
@@JB-uv4hm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@miketackabery7521 i was expecting a ‘review’ of the GW historiography so I could avoid the fast and loose.
He'd be horried you freed the slaves
@@LeComtedeSaintDomingue trump owns you and I'm ok with that 🖕🏻😉
For the people who have watched the vampire diaries tv show the guy who plays George Washington is Mikhail Mikhailson ( the vampire who hunts vampire's)
I like George Washington 👍😎 George would be angry, what America has become today. 🇺🇲
Indeed he would. So would the other Founding Fathers. And rightly so.
Pisces also can be a excellent warrior😊
I think in 1758 Washington was still a Major. He was promoted to Colonel in 1763 after the Battle of Monongahela at the start of the French and Indian War.
Good
The actor who plays General Braddock is the same guy who played the role of General O' Hara in the movie ''Patriot'' as General Cornwallis' 2nd in command.
I managed to take the identity of ma boi Braddock
Stephen Lang here looks brilliant
The guy who played Washington in this is the same who played the priest in 1883. Good actor!
I'm still trying to figure out which was greater- Washington or Lincoln. We've sure had some great presidents in the distant past.
Washington, lincoln was a tyrant and dictator.
Both of them were great in their time, but Washington's advantage is that he is the founding father and led the nation to liberate itself from the largest superpower of that era.
General Washington and General Bonaparte, two of the finest Generals to live. Long live the Republics.
What about me?😢
Caesar, Alexander Frederick II, Hannibal would all like a word with you.
Anyone to tell me title of the movie please???
Did the dialogues and scenes take place in reality ?
10:46 IT'S HIM,THE,"hehehe",GUY FROM THE PATRIOT
This a amazing and I don't know this happening
Что за фильм?
HE WAS TRULY THE FATHER OF OUR NATION
Shut Up im still salty about Yorktown
18:20 "Bye, Miss Laura"
Iwent to Valley Forge and the area around it years ago. The shelters and living conditions of the troops and junior officers were miserable. The others? well, Washington and his wife and some of his staff spent the winter in a grad mansion. Movies aside, I doubt George and Martha lost an ounce that winter.Major Aaron Burr (later Vice President) had a 3 story brick and stone townhouse which was a fine restaurant in the 1970s. Other senior officers did as well. Always good to look at the ground.....
Much of your report is wrong about General Washington. I grew up at Mount Vernon grounds. My ancestors came to "The New World" in the 1600s and early 1700s and owned the lands adjacent to Mount Vernon. I have studied, researched and loved the General all my life -- more than 60 years. Washington was a stalwart gentleman of impeccable integrity, wisdom, and kindness. First, he never had improprieties with women. He had smallpox in his teens and was impotent therefrom all his life. Sally Fairfax was a neighboring friend who taught him elegant social graces, but the two were never romantically engaged nor active. Since when is flirting a romantic declaration of permanent intent! It is critical to incorporate the language and practices of the times when interpreting historic documents and treasures. Also, George and Martha Washington loved each other. They were deeply devoted to the Godly mission of establishing a new nation consecrated in freedom. She traveled by carriage from Mount Vernon and stayed with him and his men through the harsh winter at Valley Forge, tending to ill soldiers and knitting socks for those with nothing on their feet who literally bled in the snow. No woman does that unless she is devoted to her husband and his mission. Slavery was the common practice in the 18th century and many of our finest founding fathers freed their slaves and in so doing, resolved to the financial ruin of their families and homes. Let's be honest: Colonists and Europeans did not invade Africa and capture Africans for slaves. African tribes IN Africa sold fellow slaves to European tradesmen who sold the Africans who had been defeated by fellow tribes. The entire practice of the African wars and the winners selling the losers was evil and entirely disgraceful. Not unlike the current practice in America of Illegals invading our nation and bringing sex slavery, murder weapons and drugs. Clean up our current culture before you attack those who fought for your freedom in earlier years. The USA was literally established by men and women of higher standards, moral principles and a focus on high principles like justice, freedom of speech and kindness which we must get back and reconsecrate in America if an honorable society is to survive! We must teach basics, math, science, how to actually read and write, philosophy, real, documented history and the lives of great men and women to our children and eliminate the dangerous anti-God teachings of willfulness, sex changes, communism and other lies if our children are to be happy and successful. Teach the truth, and not the nonsense you included for drama in your u-tube. We have historic documents, documented records, artifacts, family Bibles, other rock solid evidence that these were stalwart, humble, self-sacrificing, commanding leaders who gave all so today, the USA would offer freedom for every citizen to create and succeed limited only by their own vision, faith, and willingness to think and work hard. May the Lord help us to restore those original values for the sake of reestablishing a good and honorable nation of Liberty so all can succeed!
Where were your ancestors from ?
Make your own lol
LMFAOOOOO Braddock is played by the actor that was General O'Hara in the Patriot , a very smug, sassy officer, typical British. He repeats it here - man was born to play this role!
awesome scene (and miniseries) btw. Even better than the Indian attack in "The last of the Mohican" which was unconvincing... you can really see the Indians use terrain to their advantage here, and maul Braddock's columns.
Less than 250 years later, where did this freedom go?
Special education is awsome 🇲🇽🇺🇸🇲🇽🇺🇸👍👍👍
Is it a disadvantage to wear red and so neatly in the forest to fight while their opponents' is almost naked, whose skin color similar to that of the forest?
The story comes from form 4 format of the American people fighting for freedom. I understand all history of the American. Even though, my own country.
The only thing is that there were no redcoats at Trenton. It was a German Hessian regiment. Led by Colonel Rall.
GOD bless America
idk why but im watching this at 24 now and it coming out in 2006 i would have been around 8. Just wonder what i was doing the day this came out. Haha weird random thought.
General Glover got promoted to General Washington
Is that Stephen Lang?
Sebastian Roché was a good choice to play Washington.
Its like the 2000s version of Last of the Mohicans
Never mentioned him being a mason and attending lodge .
18:52
Mai Indian hu but I like Ingland and Britain
And America
不自見，故明；不自是，固彰；不自伐，故有功；不自矜，故長。夫唯不爭，故天下莫能與之爭，古之所謂曲則全者，豈虛言哉？誠全而歸之
10:46 i know this man.
Its me ofc btw do i look drippy in uniform?
Aye, I laughed, and that part were General Washington surrendered power to build a nation for the people gets me every time.
A Representative Republic, for the People, by the People of the people only if Under God, yeah thats a noble cause.
