      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).

The majority choose change..lesser of two evils..eg maybe the new choice (KING) will be better to us? Movies are great craic.. but !

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    • @waynepurcell6058
      @waynepurcell6058 6 месяцев назад +2

      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.

      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).

    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.

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.

    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!!!!

    This film is historically incorrect little is known about his wife and how she died and the princess was 9 years old at the time so they did not have a moment together and William wallace escaped to France for 2 years after losing the battle at Falkirk i believe and returned to Scotland for a funeral and was rated out and arrested and when he was executed he was draged on his back by horse then castrated and he was disimbowled while he was being hung by the neck as a Scottish person the film is still fantastic and one of Mel Gibson's best movies 😊

    I haven't seen this movie in quite awhile. Great movie, and I enjoyed your reactions to both this & Gladiator. Both fantastic movies, but I agree with your assessment between to two. Oh, btw. . . .yes, sometimes watching a Monty Python movie - it does tend to stick in your head for a bit. Hopefully, you will get to watch The Life of Brian (fair warning: you'll never look at Pontius Pilate the same way again in any future religious movie).

    A friend of mine that prides himself on being a super macho guy loved this movie. Thought it was one of the best. Until it was pointed out to him that it was really a love story with some fight scenes thrown in, but the majority of the movie was the love story. In other words, a chick flick as far as he was concerned. He was so crushed. Hahahaha!
    I would recommend watching the Count of Monte Cristo if you have not already. One of my all time favorite movies. Would have to be in the top five. Like the grandfather says at the opening of the movie "The Princess Bride", it has fighting, fencing, torture, true love. Plus betrayal and pirates. But not much blood at all.

    I know this film is historically inaccurate, but it’s a great film. I always say, if you want to watch something historically accurate, go watch a documentary. Films should be entertaining and Braveheart was defo that.
    Can watch Braveheart over and over, need more films like that.
    Got to say though, the film has some good characters, but David O’Hara’s Irishman has to be the best. Takes an Aussie to play a Scotsman, and takes a Scotsman to play an Irishman lol.
    Did you know they sort of mde a sequel to Braveheart. Angus MacFadyen played Robert the Bruce again, but it was a lower budget and nowhere near as good. Would have loved to have seen a Robert the Bruce film, with the same budget/scale as Braveheart.

    Hey there Michelle and Natalie! Glad you could get past the copyright guardians on this video. I was watching it when it was removed. I was able to finish it but couldn’t leave a comment.😂
    I’m glad you enjoyed the film. It is one of my all time favorites. It definitely has its moments where it feels dated and it is filled with historical inaccuracies but it’s a very well crafted film and the emotional core truly hits home when it’s supposed to.
    I hope you are both doing well. Thank you for another awesome reaction video!🙏💚

    I feel like Braveheart is superior to Gladiator, both excellent movies as you said though. Like for example the death of Wallace wife got a much larger impact in my opinion since they spent some time developing her character(and even parents), the battle is better and the overarching theme is more important. Gladiator to me feels rushed at the second half and more like a personal revenge story to me. Can't deny that Gladiator is more visually appealing of course and I slightly prefer Commodus as a villain to Longshanks but it's certainly close.
    Actually movies are so similiar, both involve personal revenge for a killed wife, a "love interest" in some form that's on the opposing side, death of protaganist at the end and so on.

    More violent than Gladiator? Yes. (We can always count on Mel Gibson for over-the-top violence -- watch the Messiah tortured, whatever.) Patrick McGoohan is the bright shining star of this film. Brendan Gleeson and the owner of Ireland also help buoy the film. Other than that... duck, there's an eyeball coming your way! Gird your loins, lasses, there's blood a flowin'!

    To watch it in theaters when it come out was an event!... Everyone's was dead silent in that last 10 to 5 minutes!... Only gasps in full packed cinemas!... Thats an event!... Yes some things arent right and they did take some creative freedoms bending some things in history, and there are many things to point out has not that good!... But, this was and still is an extroardinary tour de force drama filled with emotion for Mel Gibson!... Epic, great and timeless!... This is another movie that does really stands out of time!...
    Like so many others flicks, no cinema buff is worth anything saying they like cinema withouth also adding this one to their list!... The loss of the wife after the sweet build-up at the start gets everyone and changes the mood!... Thank You for the watch, its one thats stays with you no matter what!...
    Sometimes feel that for US audiences its a strange reaction watch with certain comments when the movie comes up with anything before the 15th Century, since they actually dont have sense of medievel history, considering that the country didnt actually existed in those "sword and conquer dark ages", so they learn the events from what happened in other places withouth having that history identity or cultural reference that started much later in early 1700 of the so called conquering of the "New World", soetimes forgetting the early 15th Century age of discovery with the spanish!... Thats not right or wrong it just feels like a lack of sense of the world, which is normal considering the diversity and size of the north american continent. In some ways it could even be explained with the more puritanic sense of education coming from early settlers influence from all over europe that negated many things, and that even now-a-days in some sense influences the perental recommendation for any flick in the US... Its actually something for graduates and dozen, hundreds of master dagrees not really fit for enjoyable comments here... Sorry! :)
    But on the 1st point, per instance, many in history classes thru majority of european countries learn in early school about the reference or even some times disputed fact of the presented in latin "Prima Nocta", or the french "Droit du seigneur", or the Portugues and similar spanish "O direito do Senhor", or the english "right of the first night"... Which, despite being disputed, was more or less a custom throughout the centuries, that gave feudal lords the right to have sexual relations with any female subject. Particularly on her wedding night for every man that worked on the lands of that Lord. Those men also must follow the Lord in batlle, whenever the King calls for those noblemen to gain more land thru wars or to fight invasions. To not do that, was to face consequence of either the Lord being killed and is subjects being slaved by their conquerers or invaders, or losing the granted right of harvest the lands of the feud to which they belong.
    The "Prima Nocta" is actually more referenced in medievel literature even from ancient Sumerian or Etruscan times thru Syrian and Greek time periods... :( Sad has it may be, the worth of a women back then was less then an horse, valued by their prime function of given more subjects to work the land of the husband, serve the feud, pay taxes and fight wars and invaders... Until the industrial revolution changed that.

    I have seen this movie more than 20 times and never get bored of watching it. In my eyes, this is the best movie ever, that's because I'm Scottish, and lived not far from where William Wallace was born. I know this movie is based very loosely on the Guardian and High Protector of Scotland William Wallace, and as many people will say, none of this movie is accurate, that it's all crap, I disagree, who are they to say it's all crap and not true? Were they around at the time of William Wallace? They will know just as much as me about him, where did they learn about Wallace? Through this movie, or from the internet, so unless you can prove to me that you are 700+ years old and you knew William Wallace, then this is true to me, lol.

    Watching your reaction, now I'm thinking about Braveheart vs. Gladiator :) This movie had a great love story followed by revenge and then ultimate freedom. I have a friend who liked The Patriot more than this, not sure you've watched it yet. On a side note, there is a film, I believe still on Netflix called Outlaw King which continues the story of Robert The Bruce, worth a watch. This movie though, the battle scenes, the music, it's still 1 of my all time favs and glad you both watched it :)
