    Mel Gibson owned a world-class cattle ranch near our home in Montana. His employees really liked him. One night he brought the crew into a bar my sister worked at. He tipped so well that my sister went into her bank the next day and paid off her car loan. If memory serves, this was just after the Mad Max series.

      I think he's a pretty sound guy as when they were filming braveheart there was a crew of them came into a bar by the Clyde that we were in,Mel was there along with James Cosmo n a load of others,the pub wasn't that busy as it was a Monday but they bought the whole bar drinks n by all accounts Mel was an absolute gentleman n good company.

I don't think Mel wanted any part of it so they blacklisted him. Just like so many other actors and actresses you read about that have come out against key people.

      The historical accuracy argument aimed at this movie is tedious. Just about every second world war movie was grossly inaccurate. The Great Escape featured mostly made up characters and scenarios with maybe two or three actually being based on real people, and there are a plethora of other movies which claim to be based on true events but are simply bullshit.
      At the end of the day, feature films have absolutely zero obligation to be historically accurate, and Gibson delivered one of the most beautiful and well made epics since the glory days of Spartacus.
      Every one of those Oscars was earned, and people using flimsy excuses like historical accuracy just come off as salty.

    In 1994 I was driving up Glen Nevis to do some climbing. I was stopped on the road by a traffic control and wondered why. I was informed they were making a film and couldn't let me proceed because I would be in the shot. I was surrounded by highland warriors on a break and looked down into the glen and could see a wooden fort on top of a knoll and an entire village by the side of the river. A little further down the glen were two guys on horses lit up by extra lighting and watched as it was filmed. I ended my day in the hills standing at the top of the mountain that features prominently in the village scenes of the movie and often wonder if I'm in Braveheart!

    I'm a student of history, it was my favorite subject in school and still is now. While i love when a movies get it right with historical accuracy, i also know how to look past accuracy while enjoying a film. Some people get very upset when movies change history and Gibson is known for ignoring history or rewriting history, so are 99% of film makers who do historical films or films "based on a true story". Braveheart is an awesome movie and one of my personal favorites.

    • @uchibenkei

    As much as people bash BRAVEHEART for being historically inaccurate, it needs to be given its due as a film. It brought back and made popular again the epic “cast of thousands” medieval/ancient films of the 50s and 60s. I dare say, if it weren’t for BRAVEHEART, we probably wouldn’t have had films like GLADIATOR, 300, or even the LOTR trilogy.

I couldn't connect him to anything I'd seen before, AND BRAVEHEART IS IN MY TOP 10. It wasn't until I started watching SOA in 2010 when it clicked. I was watching Braveheart one Saturday morning and it all came together. I called out to my very disinterested wife....."Hey baby! That's Chibs!" That is the effect of a really great actor.

    He forgot to mention Face/Off as another movie he did right after Braveheart. Granted, it's a tiny role and I don't think his character ever speaks, but it was another terrific flick at the beginning of his career.

    Only time I was in a cinema watching a movie that when it finished and William Wallis shouted out freedom!!! Then there was a small manolog about Scots winning their freedom and the film was over......then the whole picture house erupted with screaming and shouting and a standing ovation I've I've niver seen it before and in all my years I have niver seen it since it was just the best thing I ever seen in a movie theater. Mel Gibson is a real movie maker.more of the same sir please.!

    It's the FUCKING Scars. Flanagan is a good actor. On those two cases they may have simply looked at his face and said "Oh gee, let's keep that guy and his battle scars."

    • @zakofrx
      @zakofrx 2 года назад +1

      His scars stop him from being a major leading man but allow him to act all the time as a secondary character..
      Unfortuanty being a great actor may not have been enough without the scars that help to tell a story..
      You look at him and without a word you think he is not soft...
      His hardest job would be if they ever hired him to play a very low "T", Weak effeminate guy as he would have a hard time acting against his looks..

    Mr. Flanagan is a memorable actor who has had an active career and is good at what he does. Who is the asshat referring to anything after Braveheart as "shit". What was his first job before he planked out in whatever hole he's in to interview people? Ya'll need to call people like him out. He should be respectful of the people who give him their time and walk him through their life experiences.
