The film mentions many times the Freemasons were trying to hide the treasure from the British, but Britain was where Freemasonary originally came from, and where it was still based at the time. However, prior to the American Revolution, colonial Freemasonry had begun to move away from its connections with British masonry, rejecting, for example, the need of the London Grand Lodge to approve new lodges. This trend accelerated during the Revolution as ties of Masonic brotherhood proved more fragile than temporal political allegiances. See more »
I went to see four movies this week (Birth, Incredible, Bridget, and this one, National Treasure).
I went to see National Treasure last because it got the worst rating by critics.
It turned out to be the best of four.
An excellent movie, packed with suspense, good acting, plot, from beginning to end.
Two thumbs down for critics. They missed this one just like they did for Riddick.
I heartedly recommend it to anyone.
