Patriots,Villains, and the Quest for Liberty: How American Film has Depicted the American Revolution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study of a dozen American films featuring the American Revolution (released 1939–2002) evaluates the major characters (patriots and loyalists), diverse plots, and various social/class themes. Cinematic and popular culture understandings of the revolution are compared with the interpretations of historians to reveal thematic consistencies, noteworthy variations, and conceptual gulfs between filmmakers and historians. Cette étude portant sur une douzaine de films américains qui touchent la révolution américaine (sortis de 1939 á 2002), analyse les principaux personnages (patriotes et loyalistes), les différentes intrigues et de nombreux thèmes liés aux classes sociales. Les représentations de la révolution américaine dans la culture populaire et la culture cinématographique sont comparées aux interprétations des historiens afin de faire ressortir les points communs, les différences notables et le fossé conceptuel qui existe entre les cinéastes et les historiens.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
