@@ForceOfLightEntertainment. Good movie to react to.
@ForceOfLightEntertainment Are there any other epic period piece films that is on the list for reactions ?
There's always 300, that's pretty epic
Braveheart is back and that means…FREEDOM!!!
Freedom!!
W, Wallace was a massive high born self proclaimed god given tyrant landlord to the Scottish people's..he called the Scottish people (surfs)..as in slaves ...and treated them as sutch, English elites came to replace his tyranny with their own...one tyranny for another... The majority choose change..lesser of two evils..eg maybe the new choice (KING) will be better to us? Movies are great craic.. but !
@@kelvinmeneely3116FreèeeeeeedooooMmmmm
@@kelvinmeneely3116 You ok? Pretty strange to make claims like this, as if you were there! lol
You might like "Saving Private Ryan" and also "Hacksaw Ridge"...
😁
"They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"
The betrayal scene is the best acting Mel Gibson ever did. Most people would have played it angry. He made it feel like real betrayal does: confusion, disbelief, numbness, the life flowing out of him. Absolutely gutted me the first time I saw it.
Also, this film is EVERYTHING even now after all these years, which never gets old.
I hated the betrayal scene though. It painted Robert the Bruce in a very bad light. It's thought by most historians that Robert and William never even met, and even if they did it more likely would have been just in passing.
Another thing that kinda irked me about the movie is Wallace being portrayed as some kind of "commoner hero". Wallace was the son of a minor nobleman, and they had a small amount of land and wealth. While Wallace (as most people) valued freedom, they weren't trying to change the SYSTEM, they were trying to change who "RAN" the system.
They wanted a Scottish King and Scottish nobles pulling the strings, not a king and nobles from England. However, that Scottish King (and nobles) would have still been lording over the poor common man, no different than the English were. They would just have been keeping all the "profits" for themselves.
@@waynepurcell6058 But that would have sucked as movie.
bravehart is way better than gladiatior
Exactly!!! These chicks is bugging. I love Gladiator but ain’t no way Gladiator is better than Braveheart. William Wallace is 10 times more compelling and inspiring than Maximus.
I actually think about this debate probably too much haha. Idk man i really can’t decide which is better. I think bravehart is better written, but gladiator might have better acting performances all around. I could be wrong on that though
@@KwizMatixmajor cap gladiator clears braveheart
@@Wick-33It all depends what relationship you have to the movie really. I grew up with braveheart and didnt see gladiator until i was maybe 17-18, so the impact was different. It’s like the forrest gump / the green mile comparison.
One is more famous gladiator/forrest gump, but the other two sure are great and better to some people. I prefer braveheart and the green mile over those, because i watched both of them at a time in my life where it had a greater impact emotionally. That will effect anyones judgement later on aswell
I mean yeah but for me they're not really comparable.
After almost 30 years, the MOVIE still touched the Hearts and Minds of every Soul who watched it... Mel Gibson deserved his Academy for Best Director...
“Every man dies, not every man really lives.” This gets me all the time
👏👏🥰
According to court records of that time, William Wallace actually did say those words, about longshanks not being his king, and therefore didn't agree with the charge of treason.
William Wallace was 'hanged, drawn and quartered' and beheaded.
The movie audience was spared the details of the ordeal William Wallace had to go through, on the day of his execution.
First, He was dragged naked by his heels behind a horse to the execution site, at Smithfield, London.
First he was hanged, and before losing consciousness, dropped down to the ground.
Then, The 'rack' pulled all the joints out of their sockets.
After that, while still alive, his genitals were removed, cut out, and thrown in a fire before him.
Then, while still alive, his abdomen was cut up, and his entrails spilled out, and were removed, and thrown into the same fire.
The executioner then cut out Wallace's heart, and then William Wallace was beheaded.
Finally, the executioner quartered William Wallace (cut off his arms and legs).
@@dioghaltasfoirneartach7258 Weird, thats the same process i use to prepare my Thanksgiving Turkey.
I printed that exact line and taped it to my drama/theater folder back in highschool.
As you now know, its not a "war film". Its about real love , betrayal, and patriotism. Great reaction
Thank you!
saw it 7 times in theaters in 1995.. Mel gibson is a genius director.. man without a face, braveheart, passion of the christ, apocalypto, hacksaw ridge
Masterpiece ever. Great
My cousin from Scotland watched this with me in Canada, 8 months before it was to be released in Britain. She was in tears when we left the theater. Amazing movie and phenomenal soundtrack. You both are awesome!
This would be extra emotional if you were from there!
I'm Scottish. This movie isn't historically accurate at all. They didn't even wear kilts in the 1300's.
@@__D-B__you're replying to a comment that didn't suggest otherwise. But who cares? It's a phenomenal film
The little kid watching the execution at the end is insane.
@@__D-B__They did in the highlands . Not the lowlands . Earth coloured dyed kilts . Not Victorian era dyed colours . Yip but they did wear them in the highlands around these times . Which is why the kilt is not regarded as a national dress . It’s regarded as highland dress
“You bled with Wallace… now bleed with me!”
“WALLACE! WALLACE! WALLACE!……”
“They fought like warrior poets…”
😭😭😭😭😭
Nice one, Ladies. I enjoyed rewatching this with you! Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂 Oh, this one won the Oscar for best picture when it came out, and Mel won the Oscar for best director. He did good!
"he won her day one" lol. Was anticipating how you reacted to the preserved flower. Not disappointed xD
It was a baller move! Showed he cared and thought of her all through the years!
The "Call me"-sign joke after the princess first meeting with Wallace just killed me 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Ian Bannen who played the father of Robert the Bruce was supposed to be suffering from leprosy which is highly contagious that's why he was living in isolation in the tower
I like this because it’s based on a true person. Scotland still to this days considers him their greatest hero.
Try driving through the beautiful Scottish Highlands to this movie's wonderful soundtrack. It's absolute heaven!
Wallace's broadsword is on display at the Wallace Monument on the outskirts of Stirling. It overlooks the ground where the English were defeated.
So what if the movie is not accurate. We live in a world where virtually nothing the News media tells us is true either.
Wallace the man became myth. The myth became legend, and with all legends there's always truth blended in with the romance, just like the legend of Robin Hood.
The score from James Horner is an all-timer for me. So good!
One of the best soundtracks of all time 💖
I am slovak who lived 5 years in England and then 5 years in Scotland.And I have to say Scoltand Forever!!! Much closer to my heart and very similiar history with Slovakia.This movie proves it.Freeeeedom😉✌️
nice, but you do know 95% of this movie is made up Hollywood bullshit right? 🤣🤣🤣
@@chrisallen19821982 "95% bullshit"...not it isn't, stop lying Anglo. Its amazing how Scotland remains in the United Kingdom give the amount English people hate them with such unrelenting passion.
Not a single Braveheart comment section is spared of the overt anti-Scottish propaganda. The film is based on "The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace" written in the 15th century. Outlaw King is meant to be historically EXACT and William Wallace did exist and the full modern recorded story is a Million times more courageous and extraordinary then what anyone knew of in the 15th century.
Having said all that, England is a third world colonised hellscape today, worry about that as much as you do hating the only Native people of Britain (yall are from Germany).
I’m Czech..England rule..
@@chrisallen19821982 Like all Hollywood movies.So english did nothing bad to scottish?I know the movie has many facts wrong,so?The one that matters,did they behave like this in real life?How about India,Australia,New Zealand and so on.They kill and steal like no other country in Europe alonside Germany of course.
@@gazza1196 hej,vidiet na vasej vlade ako ste pokrocili v Cesku.Viva Fiala😉
Saw it in the theater opening night. Packed house. Only seats were on the front row.
When it was over, the room was silent. Full credits rolled until the end. No one got up from their seats. I stood and began to applaud. In moments everyone was clapping.
It was a moving experience and I felt kinship with every person there because we had all shared it together.
Mel might be a little psycho, but he knows how to move a story.
Seen it multiple times since.
Not that it matters but it swept the Oscars.
you just aint psycho enough
"And then everyone clapped!"
Yep. Nothing beats cinema
This Scottish thistle at the dad’s funeral and the bagpipes is poetic!
Ever since I saw this film as a lad, the quote "but its out wits that make us men" is something that lingered with me all my life.
"Rob Roy" is another Scottish historical movie worth seeing. Like "Braveheart", some creative liberties were taken with regard to history.
Rob Roy is another great film with little to no reactions on here. Criminal. I wonder how much it would cost to get someone to react to it?
"When the Legend becomes fact, print the Legend." Old Newspaper motto.
Not sure if you guys realized, but when Wallace gives the girl the flower she gave him as a little boy, the gesture wasn't only that he held onto it the entire time. She had no idea who he was and it was how he revealed his true identity to her again after all those years. That's why her face is so shocked. If you watch their conversation beforehand, they make it clear that she had no idea who he was. He says something about how she recognized him and she basically says she doesn't. Then, he says, "Are you in the habit of riding off with complete strangers?" and she says it was the best way to make him leave. So, she really had no idea who he was at all. That flower let her know exactly who he was... AND that he thought enough of her to keep it and return it to her after all those years.
Good point!
Thanks for the clarification lol.
She knew who he was when he showed up at the wedding.
Watching two beautiful ladies watch one of my all time favorite movies!!
Ciao Bella’s 😉👌🏻
The flower she gave him was symbolic as well, as it was a thistle, the national flower of Scotland.
28:05 "Is he qualified?"
- "I am skilled in the arts of secret backdoor negotiations and swordplay tactics, sire"
- "Very well, I will make you responsible for the development of our airborne tactical doctrine..."
I loved this movie, one of my top 10 all time………You two ladies are beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I'm a proud Scot. I've probably watched this movie over 100 times as well as watched many reactions. I still sob my heart out every single time ❤
My family and friends watched this multiple times in the theater.
In 2019 they made a great follow up called ROBERT THE BRUCE. A very good movie that has the same actor as in this one. Definitely recommend it
I remember this in theaters when it came out. when he cut her throat, just absolute silence for like 2 minutes. People looking at each other. "Did that just actually happen?"
In love with the red head. You are stunning. You could be in braveheart wow.❤
Hehehe you girls made me shed a tear at the end of your reaction (The execution part) .... 🤪
PS : William Wallace was a REAL historical person
Just to say, while it might not be totally accurate historically, both Wallace and Bruce were real men who fought for the freedom of Scotland and we shall be forever indebted to them. Also Bruce was never a traitor as he was perceived in this film. ALBA GU BRATH!!!
I'm glad you reuploaded it. I didn't finish the last time you posted, then it got claimed.
Let’s hope this one doesn’t!! 😂🙏🏻
Pedo
It's the quiet peaceful men you need to watch out for. When they get pushed to their limit and fight back, nothing in the world can stop them except death itself.
Something about bagpipes that really tug at the heartstrings.
💯
Great reaction! I love it!
Thank you!! 😁
Thanks so much, #ForceOfLightEntertainment, for the reupload of this awesome movie reaction. I love your content so much because it's absolutely amazing, and I'm still continuously supporting you because I really enjoy watching your reactions to different movies.
Thank you!
41:54 I was really amused right here when Murron was smiling at Mr. Wallace while he was getting his head chopped off. 😎 She was not amused when Mr. Wallace slept with the princess. Wallace HAD to die for that, and Murron couldn't WAIT to get her hands around his throat in the after life.
I’m Scottish & I think because this is what they done to keep out land makes it heart breaking but also very proud if u listen to our nation anthem ul understand it after watching the film ❤
28:02 "Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?" is such a great burn 😂
Say it all the time... when my sister speaks to me 😂
Back to thunb up this one for that damn algorithm. Lol. Great reaction, ladies!
Thank you so much!!
About 1% of this movie is historically accurate.
Braveheart, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, 3 great movies that really stand the test of time.
Yes the guy who's wife was taken on their wedding was the guy who played as the servant in Gladiator the name of the actor is Tommy Flanagan
Notice his Glasgow grin given to him in a Pub fight, rough!
@@jasongarcia1886 and might I add, chips in Sons of Anarchy
@@jamessellers8472 Good shout! Probably autocorrect, but his name is Chibs.. which in Scots Slang is a term for a Knife. Chib = Knife, Chibbed = stabbed/Slashed..
in other words... Tommy was Chibbed in the face and is now nicknamed 'Chibs'
The Irishman in this film actually was a regional King of Ireland at the time. When he remarked "Yeah, It's My Island!" It really was his Island.
Oh cool!!
No it wasn't, there was no "king of Ireland" it was a collection of chieftains who constantly fought with each other
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33Yes - and if you're smart enough you'll look up the guys name. He was a chieftain who ruled over most of the Island at the time. Prick.
@@the98themperoroftheholybri33 There were plenty of regional Kings at the time.
@@jamenta2 right, but no "king of Ireland" like you claimed
Despite this movie being based on a poem rather than historical fact and the anoint of poetic licence taken with this, as a Scotsman this film cannot help but rouse a feeling within me that makes me feel like I’m a warrior who should be fighting for my country 😂
Despite it being total bullshit you mean lol,
Watching two beautiful ladies watch one of my favorite movies all time!! Another one to watch, if you haven’t already, is Seven, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman!! Ciao Bella’s 😉
There's alot of tear jerking moments in this movie. This is one of my favorite movies.
Braveheart is based on a true story
Only film I watch in silence all the way through, straight to the end credit's so I can soak up that glorious soundtrack
When based on true events the story is pre-written! And that much more impactful!
Only small parts of this movie are historically accurate.
for the algorithm... and FREEDOM!
Thank you!!! Freedom!!!
Ugh, good old Mel and THE SOUND OF FREEDOM!!
So u know, Gladiator and Braveheart are intended parallels of each other.
That is why one particular actor works in both films...
The guy with scars on both sides of his face.
The one who's bride was taken from their village was in Gladiator as the Valet of Maximus.
Also a costar of Sons of Anarchy.
Kinda had a JOKER look with those real scars of his right?
Funny as Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator was foreshadowing his role as Joker.
"Smile for me brother!"
All movies... connected.
😊
The Declaration of Arbroath, created by Scotland in that era, was a major inspiration to the US Declaration of Independence. 🏴🇺🇲
This movie rings more true still as it did in that time period.
"they don't have a brave.....heart." I love it
😁
Both of you are single? Madness.
Braveheart is a true story nothing like Gladiator Wallace is a real person that last scene happened , yes it’s Hollywood but they kept the story
Helluva movie. Mel Gibson is such a gifted actor. Great reaction, ladies. 👍
Thank you!!
G'day ladies, I just want to let you know that I find myself fortunate to have discovered your channel. You have a new subscriber and I have already begun experiencing your back catalogue. Bugger! I dropped the phone and had to come back with an edit! Anyhoo, I was originally enticed by your reaction to Monty Python and The Holy Grail, which was perfect! Love your reactions, love your sincerity and you're both staggeringly beautiful! I wish you well and look forward to all your future videos.
Thank you so much!! 😊
42:29 why does this part get me everytime...i mean ive seen the movie a hundred times but that doesnt help whatsoever! thx for the reaction ladies xo
hi lady's Robert the Bruce father had leprosy hope yous enjoyed love from Scotland ❤
Braveheart, Dances with wolves, and Last of the Mohicans were the three biggest blockbuster hits during their times....
Titanic came out in '97 that movie sold a few tickets.
Bless Saint Stephen
This is the pub legend told by old men to young boys entertainment first accuracy second
How did I just now notice the co stars
4:41 He saw his father and brother laying on the cart, then turned away, like "If i didn’t see it, it never happened!" 💔
You know I went to see this on first release , and like everyone, I thought it was a great movie. I told my girlfriend of the time and recommended she see it. She, knowing me, said I should go see Rob Roy, because she thought I might like it more. And Truly, there is no comparison, between the comic book portrayal of Scotland and it's people in Mel Gibson's farce, and the majesty of Rob Roy. If you cannot tell the difference, then it is no bad thing :) You are just being true to your nation.
26:25 Right when you said "I guess you could play dead," that's exactly what I was thinking LOL. Anyone who isn't dead would do just that.
Oh my god, the woman with the red hair is absolutely stunning looking.
There both stunning imo.
17:45 As she was being taken away, she took a knife from her husband. She most likely committed suicide rather than have him lay a hand on her.
Equallly depressing.
You got to react to Master and commander. Greatest naval film ever made.
ridley scotts first choice for the gladiator was mel gibson but he turned it down i think alot people dont knnow that.
I was in Ireland in 2015 and all that was on the news there at the time was Scotland finally had the choice to break away from England but ended up choosing not to break away. Anyone have any context on that situation? Would like to hear what others think outside of the news media that know about it.
I like that it shows the captain getting his throat slit graphically but spares murron by only showing her face in a way keeping her dignity.
Another great reaction. This movie has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. There are other two similar movies. Troy 2004 and Kingdom of Heaven 2005. Both also preferably with the Director's Cut version. Troy is my personal favourite and I just love those fight scenes.
The young William Wallace was so happy to see them come back...but then he did not see his father or brother, he knew that they were dead!
Ignore what the Mel-hating naysayers say. Braveheart is one of the greatest, most timeless and effective films ever made. This is probably the greatest Medieval war movie of all time.
Enjoyed this until the 2 lassies said they believed Gladiator was the better film. This has a better story, better music, better scenes and much more passion & i love the gladiator film, but that is a nonsense opinion.
He was King Edward III Plantaganet (Longshanks), Of the same family as Richard The Lionheart. In doing my family tree, I have Both Longshanks and the 16th Robert The Bruce.
ugly death
Now you've got to watch Rob Roy which is basically the same sort of movie set a few hundred years after the events of Braveheart, though interestingly both came out the same year. Sadly, it seems the freedom didn't take as we know from actual history and the Scots are again fighting against the English. Rob Roy stars Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth, and John Hurt.
I'm glad you guys finally saw this. It's an all-timer! Pretty much everyone had it rough in that movie - even the bad guys. But that music....gets me every time.
In the first battle, the Scottish army was outnumbered 3-1 wth 300 "heavy horse".
Get it??
You 2 have beautiful hearts.
the guy theat went out the windaow was the lover of the Prince.
Longshanks didn't do Pride Month.
Hello from Scotland, love your reactions to this film, thank you so much for reviewing it. Some historical info regards this film was the real Braveheart was actually Robert the Bruce ( you bled with Wallace, now bleed with me ) who then became King Robert the Bruce and his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey where i live, his heart is in Melrose Abbey and his organs are in St Serf Church in Dumbarton. William Wallaces mother, Lady Margaret Crawford is also buried within the grounds of the Abbey in Dunfermline. If you can, i'd love you to review "Outlaw King" which is about King Robert and the Scottish Wars of Independence.
Thank you!! 😊
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment - I second that. "Outlaw King" about Robert the Bruce is a great historical epic, and I believe much truer to real history in its storyline, sets, and costumes than Braveheart, which is cartoonish in comparison. I watched it on RUclips for free a few months ago; it might still be up.
28:14 He didn't see that coming, either. 🤷♂
New subscriber! One of the best movies ever made!
I was a kid when Braveheart came out the “realism” etc the sound everything blew me away back then I had never seen anything like it. A lot of films like “Gladiator” “saving private ryan” really learned from this and war movies somehow became more permanently realistic after this. It’s really the sound effects that’s changed the game. Braveheart I think won lots of academy of awards but that was the one in hindsight that was revolutionary. Although in my age I realize how historically inaccurate it is but still a legendary film.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight...war movies like Saving Private Ryan , learned "realism" from Braveheart....not from Apocalypse Now's helicopter assault scene...or Platoon's brutal jungle combat....or "Come And See" (1985). Or other war movies.
Braveheart scenes are just depictions of gruesome violence. They are not "realism" and were not revolutionary at all. Sorry, Mel Gibson with a mullet, a kilt and absurd warpaint is not "realism".
@@USCFlashwho said “platoon” and “come and see” Weren’t revolutionary??? Not I sir 😂😂😂 nice way of projecting something that was not said.
@@USCFlashI’m talking about the Impact of and after “Braveheart” not the films before it. If you wanna talk all of film history that’s. Different subject. 😂
@@bigmikem1578
Laughable. You said Saving Private Ryan.
"learned from" Braveheart. Which is total nonsense.
SPR was not in any way influenced by Braveheart.
And previous war films were far more influential.
That is fact.
Braveheart had little to no impact on "realism", since it was not realistic.
It just had graphic violence.
And it's not a different subject, when you claim Braveheart is influential in film history, to talk about film history, stupid.
@@bigmikem1578
Actually I said Braveheart's scenes were not revolutionary at all. Go take a reading comprehension class.
When you talk projection, first learn to read.
I am a Scotsman from Edinburgh and this movie is great!!!! However it is inaccurate, The way Wallace died was real, the battle that we won when heavily outnumbered was real and the law that Englishman had to take away a Scotsmans wife on the day of their wedding in an attempted to breed us out was also real. If the husband tried to stop it he would be executed. But the inaccuracies is that Wallace and Robert the Bruce never met, And even though Wallace was a great warrior……he wasn’t actually the hero of Scotland.
The real hero was actually Robert the Bruce. He was also a great warrior and amazing tactician who put his title and life on the line to free Scotland. And he wasn’t a king that sat and watched his army do the work. He dug trenches with them, fought in battles etc. If you want a real historically accurate series about the war then watch “OutLaw King”. It’s about Robert The Bruce, It is very accurate from his story to battle tactics. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!
Also amazing reaction!!!! 😁👍🏻
Thank you!!
Gladiator? Jesus?.
William Wallace was a real man and he did die that way, Outlaw King is a continuation of the story and at the start there's a scene where Wallaces arm (one of the four corners of Britain) is put on display as a warning to the locals (had no effect, enraged them further).
I've thought Steven was the true hero of this film. He My Father I'd say...nevermind I identify as Irish...the Lord got me safe but you....
Thanks for putting up with a load of bull, to get this back up. Well worth it.x The battles were great/graphic and fun hearing Michelle and Natalie saying O O no no and stop now while pretending to cover their eyes. So Crying and Squirming made this an emotional reaction which is the power of good film/story telling. Also I have this and many other films that you have reacted to. But it's always nice to see how others see them. Cheer's Beautiful Ladies.xx
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THE ONE WITH RED HAIR, GREETINGS, BEAUTIFUL
The father of Robert the Bruce had leprosy, a disease that wasn't exactly common but not rare either in the middle ages. That's why he looked so terrible and why he stayed in the tower portion of the castle of Edinburgh.
So! Rob Roy(1995) next, ladies?
^You'll ♥ Tim Roths part in it 😛
