The blue paint on the face is 1000 yrs out of date . It goes back to ancient Scotland and was not used in Wallace's time.Still a great move, l have seen the move a few times and have seen the ending once and have never been able to watch the ending again.
England has a long history of very angry countries. India, USA, Canada, Australia,countries in Africa, France, all throughout the caribbean. Scotland, Ireland were first.
I have a suggestion for a fim for you to react to: ANACONDA (1997), another very fun killer animal film, with a star-studded cast and great practical effects, you'll like it
After 50 years, "Braveheart" is the greatest film I've ever scene. Here's why: The default answer is usually "The Godfather", however "Braveheart" masterfully adds elements :The Godfather" cannot, like weaving in not one, but two love stories into the plot, plus comedic elements. "The Godfather" is technically sound, but stoic. "Braveheart" is thrilling and memorable.
@robsquadmoviereactions another good Scottish War film is The Outlaw King about Robert The Bruce starring Chris Pine, don’t worry it’s got abit of a love story too. And then you’ve also got Mary Queen of Scot’s (who was a descendant of The Bruce)with its own trials and tribulations…worth watching both to get a grasp of some of Scottish history
. A little googling brought up that Edward II inherited the throne form Longshanks but his wife turned against him and came back from France with an army and she and a guy named Mortimer possibly her lover, deposed EdwardII. His son Edward III became king.
Braveheart is one of the least historically accurate movies ever made, drawing upon a fictional account of William Wallace's life. The film misattributes the title "Braveheart" to William Wallace, when it is actually associated with Robert the Bruce. The clothes they wore weren't used until the 16th century, they didn't paint their faces blue, there is so much more that isn't true.
The good thing to remember is that this is not a true story and the timelines of characters are all over the place, but it is based on some real characters and makes for a good fantasy stories. For example Scots didn't wear kilts at this time, they hadn't been invented yet!
Legend has it that Edward II (Longshanks' son) was assassinated by having a red-hot fire poker inserted into his rectum. Most historians agree that was just a rumor, propagated by the conspirators who deposed him, to rationalize his murder as divine retribution for his homosexuality. All that's known for certain is that Edward II died on September 21, 1327, and the evidence points strongly to murder being the cause.
Much of this is based on real events of course, but while people often focus on some of the exagerations, its important to note that the one thing they really underplayed was how violent and cruel the English treatment of the Scots really was. It looks horrific here, the reality was much, much worse.
When will we see your like again That fought and died for Your wee bit hill and glen And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again
Its strange to me that you guys say you're teachers but apparently you are to sensitive for history. History is brutal and I realise you two think the world today is so oppressive but a little history will make you not so shocked by the way people use to act.
The king of England's son was a rumored homosexual. Shortly after becoming king his nobles rebelled against him on two separate occasions. During the second rebellion (supported by his wife) he was captured and forced to relinquish his crown to his son. He died under "mysterious circumstances" rumored to have been murdered by having a Red-Hot Poker shoved up his anus.

"The sun never set on the British empire."
Fun fact: the real ‘Braveheart’ was actually Robert the Bruce.

One of the best soundtracks in movie history, up there with The Mission for me.

love the way you casually said "should have cut his willie off" LOL
Brave is actually more historically accurate than Braveheart?
The only fact hollywood got right was Wallace's name.
I wonder if you two might watch the movie ‘Michael Collins’ staring Liam Neeson. It’s about how Ireland became independent

Epic film – I also suggest SPARTACUS directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Kirk Douglas for a lavish historical spectacle in the same vein.
