Get your money girl.
Great video!!
One advice, don't use a full bright white background, the contrast is too much when the movie is in a dark scene 😉
Oooof
You got me laughing at your attempt at Scottish with that “stunning”, sounded more like stoning. 😂
10:49 Murron's execution is all the more heartbreaking when you notice that her eyes are scanning the hills, hoping to see William coming to save her. 💔😭
the highlands of scotland are some of the most beautiful places on the planet the sense of peace and quiet you get is just amazing.
I want to visit so badly! I've been to Iceland which in my mind is similar to the highlands of Scotland but I'm sure still quite different!!
As a 10 year old kid, i recorded this off the Tv on VHS. I used to watch the battle scenes over and over again, fantastic film and as an adult the battle scenes still are some of the best out there today
They’re ferocious and enthralling!! 🪓
Yes i am part Scottish and love it
I forgot we used to record stuff of the rellly on vhs 😂
Only the fighting scenes huh?..
I cried at the end first time, I can't lie. "FREEEEDOM!" 🗡
This is definitely a film that will bring a man to tears.
😂😂😂
My 3 year old nephew watched it with me and laid down on the living table and screamed freedom after the movie.
You do realise thst never happened
This movie literally raises every Scottish boy myself included, so buzzed to see people enjoy it!
Aww that’s so sweet! I adore Scotland for what little I have experienced of it in Edinburgh! Would love to go back!
Isabella from France was a total savage once she became queen. She’s known as the “she-wolf” and her story is fascinating.
She was also waaay younger at the time Wallace was still alive, they never met.
Love your movie reactions Jade! Thank you for allowing us to go on these emotional journeys with you. Keep being the beam of light that you are. Hope you had a lovely week. ❤
Aww thank you so incredibly much! This means the world to me! I’m so grateful for wonderful people like you coming on these journeys with me!!
I think one of the great things not often mentioned about this film, was Patrick McGoohan's performance as Edward Longshanks. It was such an professional and masterclass performance from an brilliant "old-school" Actor. Mel Gibson got it right in selecting Patrick for the role.
Great reaction like always Joob, this movie is epic love it and there are some fun fact about it, Many Scots were offended by the film's portrayal of Robert the Bruce as Wallace's betrayer; he's considered just as much of a national hero as Wallace. The scriptwriter Randall Wallace was inspired to write the film after learning about William Wallace during a holiday in Edinburgh. Most of the horses used in the battle scenes were fake, weighed 200 pounds, and were fuelled by nitrogen cylinders that propelled them at 30 miles per hour. And after shooting the scenes, Gibson was investigated by an animal welfare organisation who were convinced that the fake horses used were real. The blue body paint (woad) worn by the Scottish warriors in the film hadn't been used in Scotland since Roman times, around 800 years before the events detailed in the movie. It's a complete anachronism, The production used around 1500 reserve soldiers from the Irish territorial army as extras during the battle scenes. Around 40 of Wallace's descendants were used in the scenes as well. They tended to stand around Gibson during the opening shots of battles. And many extras also kept forgetting to remove their sunglasses and wristwatches, which meant the battle had to be re-shot several times. (if you look closely you can see some of them in the movie). Keep up the amazing work.
It's probably the most inaccurate time period movie, like they did not even wear the kilts you see in this movie back in those times, seeing they were basically not invented yet. But it's still one excellent Hollywood story. And it still made millions of people aware of William Wallace and the First War of Scottish Independence, he still would be just a few monuments in Scotland for tour guides to stop and talk.
I absolutely love hearing about stuff like this.👍
@@nutterbuttergutter Thanks :)
Believe it or not, my name is John, and live in Scotland uk lol, just outside Glasgow. I love this movie, seen it over 50 times since it's release in 1995, in my eyes, the greatest movie ever made, even though it's LOOSELY basedd on the life of William Wallace, who as far as records show, was NEVER married, or had an affair with the Princess of Wales. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I always cry at it, throughout the movie.
It's based on a poem written around 400 years after the event, it was during a time when there was extreme Anglophobia in Scotland for political reasons.
I just wish more people were aware that England and Scotland were friends prior to the Norman conquest of England, we were connected by blood.
Also your point about the princess of Wales, irl she was about 12 years old and living in France during this period in time
Best teacher I ever had was my high school Biology teacher. Taught me so well that I aced my AP Bio exam and my notes from intro Biology as a high school freshman helped me get good grades at The Johns Hopkins University - best school for medicine in on the planet. Enough said, this high school teacher bagged our lesson one day and had us watch Wallace’s speech before the first battle, and the battle itself. Legend. I am a high school teacher and try to model myself after my BIO teacher. School is going to suck unless the teacher makes class fun.
I teach history, and side note, no one uses C.E. anymore, that was a passing fad in the aughts (2000-2010) give or take a few years.
Cannot wait to see your reaction! A very historically inaccurate film, but A+ when it comes to production, drama, acting, writing, and most importantly, inspiration to go out and succeed no matter what the cost!
One of the top movies on my list, it is so cool. Great reaction young lady. The actors were all great and everyone helped make this film outstanding.
Thank you so very much! Yes it was brilliantly acted by those in it!! 🙌
The real baby who became Edward III was born 3 years after the death of William Wallace, so...
Another movie from that era is King Arthur(2004) starring Clive Owen and Keira Knightly. One of my favorites.
The Battle of Stirling was actually Stirling Bridge, Wallace used the Bridge to his advantage to trap the English in a death funnel, Wallace was actually a brilliant tactician.
I always wonder if he had read anything about the Spartans and got the idea from that.
He knew Highlanders are always going to be much fiercer warriors than some nobles in armour.
Scotland is indeed a separate country from England, Wales and Ireland but they also come together as the United Kingdom...sadly any countries throughout the world that share borders have pretty much featured conflict in their histories... (even relatively new countries like the USA have had their battles with Mexico and Canada...)
Relatively new? Within the last 150 years? Reckon that's "new" as far as history goes.
@@bobbyjennings6480 yes
Not super historically accurate but a great emotional ride.
Btw if you want more story about Robert the Bruce then The Outlaw King is another great movie about Scottish Independence.
Yes I came into it believing it was more of an entertaining film than accuracy based so it was fun to watch!
The Outlaw King is definitely better overall, but still far from being accurate.
It's a movie based on an epic, for all those about to list all the historical inaccuracies. Legends were made in the past, much like they are today... through exaggeration and poetic license.
Yes! Exactly, it’s how he came to be 7 foot in the story!
Unfortunately the opening scene with Robert the Bruce narrating, indicates the events were real and he is lying. The sad truth is Robert the Bruce would know the truth and wouldn't need to fabricate events are forget the timelines for events that never happened. It's important to point out the historical inaccuracies, because viewers need to know this. The Scottish people know and its an insult to them and their heritage to fabricate such nonsense.
Also, by distorting historical facts (let’s not talk about truth) wars get started. So, it‘s fine to enjoy a good story, but it’s also important to realise where the line between fact and fiction (sometimes propaganda) runs. It’s a good exercise for being wary about historical epics.
And I was going to suggest: When you travel more of Scotland (and do do that) don’t talk history based on that movie, because Mel Gibson being called a madman is among the more friendly comment I‘ve heard 😂
@@jeffburnham6611Thank you.
Though it helps showcase some of the historical background behind why Scotland doesn’t exactly see eye to eye with England, the number of inaccuracies in this movie are numerous.
The biggest one is the French princess this movie tries to suggest had some romantic feelings for Wallace, in reality they never met and she was very young (about 4/5 if I remember correctly) when he died.
Though I guess they covered themselves with that line about the exaggerated stories about Wallace even when he was still alive so being even more elaborate many years after these events fits that narrative too.
But the fact so little of the film was made in Scotland and casting someone who wasn’t Scottish as the lead is a huge source of criticism for us Scots…also as much as I do love the score it pains me they used an English augustra.
Those of us who fight for Independence aren’t doing so because of this movie like a lot of others like to claim.
Another one I think you'd really enjoy is Rob Roy - it's another Scottish period piece. Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, John Hurt, Tim Roth, and Brian Cox make for an amazing cast.
I love Braveheart but it's like the most historically accurate movie around. I think it's best to think of it more like a fantasy movie like Lord of the Rings, not a history lesson.
Yeah that’s fair! It is a very entertaining film and I imagined it as a history of an alternate universe’s Scotland hahaha!
Crap, most historically *inaccurate* movie! Don't trust predictive text, folks, it will make your sentence mean the opposite of what you meant.
Hmmmm......
Braveheart?
Star Wars?
Braveheart...
Star Wars...
Ok, I'm gonna go with Star Wars as the more historically accurate.
I would love to see your reaction on the movie Tears of the Sun with Bruce Willis
Really enjoyed that movie
Nice one, Jade. Edinburgh is my favorite city, and the Isle of Skye is my happy place. 😊
Thank you so much and ugh I adored Edinburgh! I'd love to see more of Scotland!
Ah, I watched this in cinema when I was 11 years old, good times!
I really think that this genre of (historic) epics is severely missing from todays cinema culture and its a shame.
But I guess I understand all the different reasons for this. Too expensive, not fast enough for modern audiences, not funny enough, fear of offending someone in multiple stages (casting the "wrong" actors, portraying countries/ethnic groups in a bad light, offending religions and so on the list of possible controversies seem endless).
But especially some of the values and the positive masculinity that all these movies like Gladiator, the 13th Warrior, Braveheart, Last Samurai and so on showed feel lost in todays media.
There’s a reason for that in your last paragraph that it’s not shown. Men need to be mad docile
@@chrischreative2245The reason is the length of the text…that’s it.
They could easily switch the paragraphs around so the last one is the first.
Take of the tin foil hat!
@@ObsessiveGeek No it’s for the reason I said. If you can’t see it then you’re purposely blind and have on a tin foil hat.
It's a little subtle but it's insinuated that Philip, the Prince's "right hand man", is actually his lover. Which the King suspected and obviously despised, fearing his only son would be a weak and unworthy successor to the throne.
Fun fact: all the location stuff in this film was actually shot in Ireland. The production company got a big tax right off from the Irish government.
I'm proud to say I'm a descendant of Robert the Bruce. Chris Pine made a Netflix film that continues the story of Robert Bruce and Scotland's quest for independence after Wallace died, titled: "The Outlaw King."
damn fine film
Far better than braveheart. Unfortunately no one reacts to it
Outlaw King is the much better movie for historical accuracy, plus Chris Pine.
I smile so big when i see your videos come up! Excited to see this
That has made my day!! Thank you so much!
Several things about this time: Prima Nocte, also known as the "droit de seigneur" was normal all over feudal Europe. (maybe not among the Scots, but pretty much everywhere else) and sanctioned by the Church. The killing of horses was expected in war but also on the farm, streets and so on. Europeans ate (and still do eat, even today)"chaval", so the end of the battle also meant fresh meat for the survivors. It was a tough world.
Please do An officer and a gentleman with Richard Gere it's such a great movie thats a military movie, a love story, a buddy movie but most of all a movie about overcoming hardship and believing in yourself. Also it has such an iconic ending.
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).
😢 That is beyond intolerable an evil.
Bruce never betrayed William.
It's not even confirmed that they met at all.
Braveheart is about as historically accurate as Gladiator ... but they do make for good cinema.
The greatest movie to grace the silver screen. Hands down. The best movie ever. Yeah, I know it's not historically correct. But I don't care, it was an amazing movie with great action scenes, the music was another badge on James Horner's list of great movie soundtracks. Like Glory, Titanic. Field of Dreams, Avatar. His musical genius spans decades.
Love these reactions jade. Awesome movie. I watch it at least once a year.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed!!
Interestingly, when Scotland and England eventually united to form Great Britain in the early 1600s, it was largely because, when Queen Elizabeth I of England died, her heir was her cousin, who also happened to be King James VI of Scotland!
One of my all time favorite films. They don't make movie like this anymore.
Thank god
Scotland is physically smaller, and has a smaller population but managed to fight off England for centuries
If wasn't for England you'd still be third world country
Beautiful again Jade, Thank you, and yes Scotland is beautiful, i spent a week in Windermere 30 years ago, its not in Scotland but i come from Kent in the South (the Kentish countryside is beautiful also) Windermere is stunning, and i am to ill now to go to Scotland, but i have beautiful memories of Windermere.
Keep up the continued great job with the reviews.
Best wishes kind regards
Chris....
That is amazing Chris what an awesome experience!! I have only been briefly to Edinburgh and it was spectacular so I’d love to see more of that beautiful country!
Would love to see you react to the movie, The Whale. One of my new fav movies, it's amazing. Brendan Fraser who plays the lead male character won Actor of the year or an oscar for his performance in it
Great reaction as always. This is such a great movie.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Props on realizing they were disemboweling him. Started developing a complex since it seems like everyone else has no idea what is going on in that scene. I thought I learned about it in history class, but since nobody else seems to know about it I started questioning my sanity and thinking I was some nutter researching torture techniques in my spare time.
HAhahah 'nutter researching torture techniques in my spare time' a whole mood! I'm not sure how people didn't get that but perhaps I am just as morbid as you! 😂
It was worse than in the movie. While he was still hanging they disemboweled him. They carefully opened him up, cutting him from top to bottom and ensuring they didn't kill him. They removed his intestines and burned them in front of him. They then opened his chest, removed his heart and showed it to the crowd (still beating).Obviously he was braindead by this point but they didn't know that. Back then, they believed your soul/consciousness was in the heart.
The ages of the characters weren't right. The French princess was a child at that time. But she did what she said ... her husband, the first Prince of Wales, was a loser, who threatened her and her children. She became Isabella, She Wolf of France.
Top 3 90s movie.
Another Jade gem. Always a pleasure watching a film with you especially one that I have seen many times. Oh and "Sic Semper Tyrannis" means "Death to Tyrants" it is on my state flag
Thank you so very much and oh wow! Which state is that?
@@MovieJoob you are welcome and thank you as well. It is on the Virginia state flag. You can look it up see the words and see there is a man standing on top of another man laid down on his back with a spear in him. Virginia was so against the Tyrant King George 3rd of England they put that Latin phrase on the state flag. Death to Tyrants. America's George Washington is from Virginia as is the writer of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson. So a English colony here America as yours as well Australia. Thanks for your time. As Always be blessed
I love watching your reviews
Scots are genetically dispositioned towards surviving the cold, thankfully. Although the downside is that when it comes summer even in Scotland a lot of Scots struggle to deal with the heat. An australian summer would cook me alive.
Love your videos!
Thank you so much i'm so glad!
Scotland is a separate country still. I love scotland.
Living of English money
I absolutely love you mate!
A raid shadow legends ad? You've really made it!!!
I love watching your reactions. You have a infectious personality. You are so funny
Aww that is so lovely and kind!! Thank you so much Kevin! 😊
👍
This is a great movie, get your tissues ready.
It’s really too bad copyrights prevent you from playing the music… this film has one of the best soundtracks of all time.
Great reaction!🌸🌿
Thank you very much 😊
This is a great movie with a great story with some of the best scenes have zero dialog in them, I just wish Gibson hadn't used real names, because too many people seem to get to 'hung up' on that and overlook what a great/good movie/story this is with a Great soundtrack too.
You do know he didn’t write the script?
And it is based around historical events…so would be kinda weird not to include actual historical figures that were around at the time.
Most the irritation, especially as a Scot is so many foreigners always ask us about the movie like it’s a factual documentary.
The only accurate thing about this movie are the names, "William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and Edward Longshanks." you can forget the rest!
It's a great movie, but it's basicly fantasy
I have the outlawed tunes music on my playlist love when it comes around
Hi Jade hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thank you as always John! Hope you have a great day too! ❤
"He looks so happy."
Not for long....
0:01Jade from the future? quick what's tonights winning lottery numbers?
Hahaha don’t gamble kids! But I am truly from the future for everyone living west of Australia or east of the int date line so I am a truly futuristic being 🤖
"Everyone and the English" lol
Past, present and future Jade is always good enough for me. This was awesome and I enjoy every bit of content you post. The king who insulted the Irish kind of took me by surprise, since I happen to be of Irish descent and proud of it. Found out I was of German and Irish descent in addition to being of Danish descent during my family reunion on my Grandma Webb's side of the family July 16th this year. Got to see relatives I hadn't seen in a while plus met some distant relatives I hadn't met before let alone know that I was even related to till meeting and saw old family photos as well as territory in both Germany and Ireland and Denmark where my early ancestors originated from, plus saw a castle in Ireland which my Irish relatives resided at one point in time
Thank you so much as always Randy!! And oh that's so awesome! I wish I had Danish descent I love Denmark! Though I love Ireland too!! (I've never been to Germany sadly) So so cool!!
@@MovieJoob you are absolutely welcome. My great grandma Hansen's maiden name was menke, her family originated in Germany while my Great Great Great grandpa Hansen was born in Denmark and my great great great great great great great Grandpa Nevin and his wife were both born in Ireland. I always enjoy your content and I hope to visit Denmark, Germany and Ireland at some point in the future and potentially see where my early ancestors originated from in each country
Thank you mate

Hey Jade, you have got to add The Impossible to your movie reaction list. It’s based off a true story regarding the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
Omg I watched that years ago and I could hardly see the screen through my tears!!!
See how far I threw that rock lol so funny you made me laugh honestly that was really funny 🤣 thank you for that 💯👍❤️
Yessssss! Thank you :)
Thank YOU for joining me! 😊
Of course. I appreciate you taking my suggestion. I'll try to think of some more that maybe aren't all such tear jerkers lol. I feel like that's what your money maker is though. People love seeing that heart of yours. I know I do.@@MovieJoob
@@MovieJoobmight I suggest a couple very good series to react too? Black Sails is finished airing 4 fantastic seasons. Gets better as it goes.
And the newer series Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. 1 season in.. brilliant. You’ll love the acting.
I think you would love the series The Last Kingdom!
You left out, "Bleed with me." Bad girl.
You look like a Targaryen. I love your reactions
The “Brave Heart” is a title used to described Robert the Bruce
Wallace’s father’s name was Alan Wallace, not Malcolm, and he would not have been killed when Wallace was a boy.
Uncle Argyle is a complete work of fiction.
William is shown to have romantic relations with Isabella of France, the wife of Edward II, in reality she was 9 years old when Wallace died, they never met. In the film their affair is shown to take place after the Battle of Falkirk, but at this time the real Isabella would have been just three years old and living in France.
The idea that King Edward of England introduced a law that meant nobles could sleep with their female subjects on their wedding night is a ridiculous myth.
Piers Gaveston, the supposed gay lover of Edward II that King Edward I throws to his death outlived the king by 5 years and was killed by a sword, not tossed out a window.
Thanks!
As powerfully done as this film is, I think it's a shame it didn't stick to more historical accuracy and authenticity to make it many times better. I know not everything is accurately done in history-based films and TV dramas, but Braveheart took the inaccuracy to a point of being morally one-sided and absurd just to tell a cliched action-adventure story. You ought to watch History Buffs' and Cynical Reviews' videos on Braveheart, since it's too much to type up here.
Hi Aussie girl ,nice to see you again.
Great movie by Mr. Mel Gibson an Aussie ,well not quite ,he was born in the US grew up and learned his craft in Australia.
BTW ,you didn't answer my question where in Sydney are you from ?
Great reaction,
See ya later girl ,bye bye !
Thank you so much! And I don't want to say online where, but roughly near the cbd of Sydney! 😊
@@MovieJoob Ok ,it's alright no problem.
I was just curious being a Melbourne boy myself I never went to Sydney it was too far away like 1000 K from me .
Anyway ,you are a very sweet girl ,
great reaction ,
It's pretty hot here where I am I think I'll
drink a Vic. Bitter, um ,sorry, wrong beer ,
a Heineken lol lol !!!
Hi Jade how are you doing? :)
The kings son preferred Phillip they were lovers, until his father tossed him out the window.
You should hear the rumors of how Edward II allegedly died.
Thanks ...
This film takes place shortly after the end of the "First Hundred Years War" which was a political & military rivalry between the House of Anjou (England) & the House of Capet (France). France won quite handily & the House of Anjou's once vast holdings in western France had been diminished quite considerably (the fault of a certain King John, yes the one from Robin Hood) & after John's son, Henry III, had failed to win the lands back, an agreement was reached to end the fighting. Indeed, during the course of this film Edward I would have signed the "Treaty of Montreuil-sur-Mer" (1299, ratified by the Treaty of Paris in 1304) to officially end the conflict. To seal the pact, Edward I married King Philip of France's sister, while Edward's son, Edward II was betrothed to Princess Isabella, Philip's daughter. Ironically Isabella & Edward II's son, Edward III, would use the fact he was Philip's grandson as a claim to the throne of France some years later & so the marriage pact that ended the first hundred years war ended up being the literal cause of the second hundred years war. The invasion & attempt to conquer Scotland in this film is a direct result of the English king NOT having a war to fight in France for the first time in a hundred years. He needed something to do with all his troops.
Also Jade I was wondering if you play Diablo 4? The Diablo series is one that I would recommend and I have played all the other games. :)
Yes my husband and I played it together a ton when it first came out!!
Hacksaw Ridge, The Patriot, Braveheart, I'm glad to see how much you appreciate Mel Gibson's work, "Apocalypto" (2006) is also one of his best productions, which I can only recommend at this point.
14:43 This mistake is one of the biggest jokes in the whole movie. In real life, it was deliberately staged by the Scots on a bridge, to take the superior English numbers out of the equation. They could only cross the bridge about 2 at a time and the Scots just picked them off.
Although this film takes a lot of liberties with the actual history of what happened. It’s still a great watch
Yes I expected so! Very entertaining indeed!!
@@MovieJoob Outlaw king is another great movie. More about Robert the Bruce than Wallace and is a bit closer on the historical side of things. Keep up the great reacts!!
Bless you lassie, we think that way too, slainte x #Scotland
Thank you so much my good lad!! 🙌😊x
@@MovieJoobif you want another Scottish based movie (a much better one that doesn't receive as much attention) is "Rob Roy" starring a young Liam Neeson.
It's about a Scottish Highland chief, you'd love the movie
The "right hand man" is so happy because he's so gay for the prince. As is the prince.
Great movie. Another great historical movie that came out the same time but was overshadowed by this movie success is Rob Roy 1995 with Liam Nisson.. Also there is the great movie The Count Of Monte Cristo 2002
23:22 "I hate that horses were used so much in war. I don't understand."
It's easy.
Being on a horse is a huge advantage.
It makes it easier to kill the enemies on foot because you have speed, power, and leverage.
It also makes it a lot harder to kill you because you can wear much heavier armor and use that speed to avoid most danger while your enemies have no power or leverage against you.
I've studied a lot of war over the last few thousand years. Take my word for it or google it yourself.
A man on a war-trained horse could kill 5, 10, maybe 20 enemies.
On foot, that same man might kill 1 or 2.
If the battle is going badly...
Oh his horse, that man can escape the battle and ride to safety fairly easily.
On foot, he just dies.
Horses won more battles than men did.
That's why they used them.
Now, when you said "You don't understand." perhaps you meant that you don't understand why people would be so cruel to horses?
So imagine this.
Your king tells you that you must go to war.
You own a horse.
Will you ride it, maybe kill 10-20 enemies AND survive the battle?
Or will you keep your horse safe at home and go to war on foot, maybe kill 0-2 enemies, then probably die?
For me, that's an easy choice.
Now, on the other side:
You're on foot in a battle like you see here.
A man on a horse rides toward you, an enemy that will try to kill you. All the speed, power, and leverage are his.
You will almost certainly die if he stays on that horse. It's a huge, huge advantage to be up there.
Will you chop the legs of the horse, basically killing the horse and making the man fall to the ground where you can kill him too?
Or will you spare the horse and carefully fight only the man and almost certainly die?
For me, that's an easy choice too.
That's why they used horses.
That's why they didn't keep them safe at home.
And that's why the soldiers killed horses first.
Every bit of it is to survive the battle and get back home alive.
To be clear, I don't want horses to be hurt either.
But I'd rather lose a horse than lose my life.
I watched it I believed for 11 times now hehehe
The beginning of this movie is what tyranny looks like……..
When I saw this posted, I thought you'd be a wreck since this movie is tragic but I think all these war movies and shows have hardened you a bit haha I don't think I saw any tears
So true hahaha, I was very sad and some parts even on the verge of tears but I didn't shed any!
Another great movie, but don’t take the events as historical facts 😂, the outlaw king it’s also set in this period, freeeeedoooooommmm!
Great editing and of course another great reaction!
Thank you so very much this means a lot to us! 😊
I dont think its historically accurate, the big picture. Scotland doesnt have their freedom today, I dont know that they ever did.
Can you watch movie "A knight's tale".
Very good movie. Your videos are great like always ;)
Fantastic commentary once again! Even though this is a COMPLETELY fictionalized account of William Wallace and his exploits (I mean it was one of the most a-historical "based on true events" film Hollywood had produced in a while), "Braveheart" is still an amazing action/adventure drama. Mel really knocked it out of the park.
Another Mel Gibson film worth checking out is the animated film "Chicken Run." Yes, that's right, Mel lends his voice to one of the main characters. It's a really witty, charming, and amusing stop-motion film from Aardman Studios. It spoofs a myriad of Hollywood prison break war movies.
It's not a documentary, it's a movie. Some films "Based on true events" are completely made-up stories. This movie also literally says right at the very beginning that some will disagree with how events are portrayed, but history is written by the victors - letting you know that it's not going to line up with historical events.
@@UncleUncleRj Yes, I know. However, A LOT of reactors have taken "Braveheart" as an historical movie even though about the only thing the writer got correct was a few of the names. For instance, the French princess never even met Wallace because the timeline portrayed in the film was totally incorrect.
Though, you have to admit the narration caveat at the beginning of the film was pretty weak. Most historians will say history is written by the victors, but then they don't proceed to make the entire thing up where their portrayal is more like a fantasy than real life, they instead investigate through historical clues to come to a consensus. This is still probably one of the worst modern movie offenders of twisting an actual historical figure and historical events.
@@dan_hitchman007 Yeah, I know, she was like 5 or 10 or something, but I honestly don't care, I'm not taking a test, I'm watching a movie.
Here we go, about to cry my ass off with you again
