The Patriot (4/8) Movie CLIP - Papa Don't Go (2000) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Susan (Skye Bartusiak) runs after her father (Mel Gibson) begging him to not leave the family again to go back to war.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the director/producer team responsible for such sci-fi blockbusters as Independence Day, Stargate, and Godzilla, take a step back in time with this drama set during the American Revolution. Farmer Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) was born and raised in South Carolina, and fought bravely during the French-Indian wars. But since the death of his wife, Benjamin has renounced violence and quietly tends his crops, raising his seven children alone. In 1776, over Benjamin's objections, his oldest son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) joins the fight against the British. Gabriel returns from battle seriously wounded, with Lord General Cornwallis (Tom Wilkinson) calling for his arrest. A skirmish breaks out on Benjamin's plantation, and one of his children is killed as Gabriel is captured by Col. Tavington (Jason Isaacs) and sentenced to hang. Benjamin sets aside his vow of pacifism and rescues Gabriel; with the help of his former comrade-in-arms Harry Burwell (Chris Cooper), the father and son form a regiment of Carolina patriots whose cunning and ruthlessness make them heroes among the colonists -- and wanted men by British troops. Loosely adapted from the true story of Francis Marion and filmed on location in South Carolina, The Patriot was the first feature film made with the cooperation of the Smithsonian Institute, who advised the producers on historical accuracy. Joely Richardson also stars as Charlotte, Benjamin's sister-in-law who helps him care for the children.

[judemiller]

How can you NOT cry when she says "Papa"? God, I break every time.

[jodydunning]

I'm a 47 year old man and this clip always brings instant tears...

[victoriaprovost]

"I'll say anything you want" my eyes are leaking

[faheemzafar]

This scene always bring tears to me, despite how many times I watch. Fathers love to his children is unlimited.

[crookedarmdaungiven]

I just found out this actress passed on July 19, 2014. The fact that I never knew this talented girl personally doesn't take away from the sadness I feel. Her performance in this scene is so moving. One of the few scenes in film that chokes me up in tears every time I see it, and as silly as it may sound, when an actor or actress is able to make you react emotionally, they really do claim a small piece of your heart. When someone touches your soul in that way there is always some sense of loss when they pass. Thank you Skye, Bless

[KeezyDaGamer]

I love how instantly he stopped and turned around after he heard

[renekackline]

I not only cry when she says, it's Mel reaction that gets to me the way he responds to her. Loved it!

[mariakal]

Phenomenal acting by her, her crying seemed so legitimate

[davidquinones]

I can watch this movie a million times and it is this scene right here that gets me choked up every time... so so sad

[johnstjohn]

As a father to a little girl myself this scene gets me....

[Lady-Kanerasoka]

I’m willing to bet anything that this had to be the audition scene for the child actress playing Susan because this was really her most memorable moment in the entire film. This scene makes me cry EVERY TIME! It’s NOT EASY finding a very young child actor who can make you cry instantly just by acting like that. Skye McCole Bartusiak was a genius. May she rest in peace (2014 at age 21 from accidental drug overdose according to IMDB)

[nancysorto]

I'm not even a parent, just an auntie, but this scene makes me tear up every time 😢.

[colinm]

Women cry at the Titanic, but that scene makes grown men cry. Imagine the hundreds and thousands of men who rode off and they DIDN'T come back. Damn i need a tissue.

[Snowman]

RIP Skye and Heath :(

To me, this touching moment between Benjamin and Susan is nothing short than cinematic gold!!!

[TheRcboy]

As a dad with a daughter this scene always getsme. When he is looking at her, he stays strong and calm for her. He makes her feel like its going to be ok even though she is scared. But when he hugs her, his face is full of heartache that he has to go.

Such a great scene.

[jovanniebazil]

What makes this scene so fantastic is the reaction of Susan's siblings and love ones after she says "Papa". Just little details like such makes this movie as whole incredible. If only movies would do things like this these days and not just CGI and action every few minutes. This is more believable and occur in people's lives; kudos to Mel Gibson.

[jacksparrow]

Don't cry...don't cry... ah damn it.

[ellenmurphy]

16 years later,  and this part still makes me cry.

[novelynp]

So sad that the actress that played the role of the little girl passed away.
R.I.P Skye Mccale Bartusiak.

[Voltuss]

Say what you want about Mel Gibson. No one makes movies like this anymore.
