"Braveheart"Was HORRIBLE! Especially considering it was marketed as The 'REAL' History of William Wallace... And it wasn't even CLOSE... I'm surprised that Wallace himself didn't rise up outa the ground and rodger Mel Gibson all over the fields where they filmed this atrocity.[/QUOTE]
Braveheart is one of my favorite films, and it's story is very inspiring. I have never met a strait man who did'nt like this movie. Bet you would like to see Wallace and Mel makin' sweet love in a green feild by a babbeling brook, wouldn't ya princess?
Nobody knows the complete "REAL" story of William Wallace,not even you Sally. The main events in the film and the basic story are based on oral stories of the legendary Scot. A 14th century bard named Blind Hary first wrote his version of the story that he got from Wallace's scribe. And it is infact a pretty good rendition of Wallace as a legendary, historical figure -and the people of Scotland loved it. In Braveheart, William Wallace is presented as a kind of Scottish Nationalist super hero. In this respect, the movie was indeed accurate about the role the myth of Wallace played in history.
