Having your insides ripped out and not thinking about yourself for 1sec and screaming freedom for your fellow Scottish brothers...An act of true bravery and brotherhood.
It’s a movie with artistic licence. It never happened like this. Great film nonetheless but having Mel Gibson direct and in the leading role this was bound to happen. “We didn’t get dressed for nothing” if get my point
I like how the court officer that is taunting him by telling him to cry out mercy finally looks up and shakes his head like " this is worthless, this guy ain't gonna break".
@@kauztuv gave him a quick death instead of torture. They were gonna kill him anyway, but wanted to humiliate him first. The officer realizes, after practically disemboweling him alive, that the guy just isn't going to do it so he whacks his head off.
@Lenny Felix Well, the one thing they didn't want to happen as a result of his execution was for him to become a martyr. By making him scream out " MERCY" in front of all his followers would make him look like he was really weak and really wasn't this larger than life revolutionary. If he screams Mercy then it's over, he lost everything he worked so hard for and his torture was for nothing. Bottom line, they were trying to humiliate him.
To think people were really tortured like that from other human beings is beyond comprehension. I’m sure some of this still happens today. Evil truly walks this earth.
Yes, it happens, ISIS or drug cartels for example do this sh*t, and it looks and sounds way worse, what Hollywood shows you is a fairly tame version of the true ugliness of what people can do to others.
For those people that may not be understanding what's happening with him during this scene. They eviscerated his stomach and while they were removing his intestines the intestines were placed in fire. After which they mutilated his body and placed different parts of him throughout as a warning.
And the last thing he saw was Murron appearing out of the crowd and smiling at him as if to say, "Welcome home my love. I've been waiting for you." Beautiful movie. Well done Mel.
I watched this at the cinema in Inverness when it came out in '95. At the end, leaving the cinema there was none of the usual chatter that you hear after a movie. Everyone filed out in deathly silence. You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife. There was a sense of seething, silent rage. It was not historically accurate but it awakened something in the Scottish psyche. What a film.
Ironically, this was filmed in Ireland. Mainly in Trim and around the Curragh. For some reason Scotland wasn't keen on having the film made there. ... ?
@@JamesFlemingIreland from memory I think it was easier to film the battle scenes in Ireland and the Irish government made it a more attractive proposition to do those there. Nowadays there is a larger film and TV making industry in Scotland e.g. Outlander, so it might be different if it were made today.
I know what it awakened in the Scottish psyche….. After being in a cinema for more than an hour, it was probably the desperate need for more special brew.
@@natoshi_sakamoto True.. But Wallace was captured in Robroyston, near Glasgow, and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians.
Just that short clip caused me to tense up through almost the entire clip and when his hand released that cloth I was at ease. That whole movie to me is a masterpiece. I don’t see another movie made about William Wallace come close to this one. Thanks to all who made it. Great job....:.::..:
Still makes me bawl my eyes out after all these years. My beloved brother in law was found dead at home on 28th November, whilst his wife, my sister was in hospital. He was from Edinburgh and was the embodiment of everything good about Scottish men. I'm absolutely devastated. We've lost one of the best people I've ever known. RIP Derek Bruce.
I see true bravery from the heart, he loved his father, he loved his wife, he loved his life, he loved his nation, that's why he fought for the freedom to truly love.
Despite this movie being horribly inaccurate to actual historic events, no one know what he said..if anything. Are you a yank....you do know hollywood doesnt care about historical accuracy
The disembowelment process often began with the removal of gentilia, and cutting through the anus removing the lower bowel, so you can only imagine what they are doing to him at the beginning and immediately took him into a place of agony and breathlessness
To add more drama and realism to this film, Mel let the other actors remove his intestines. They were put back after the scene was filmed. He found it very hard to shout FREEDOM without his bowels intact.
a lot of people dont know william wallace's last words, heck, im scottish and dont even know But some sources say instead of just simply, 'FREEDOM!' it was 'I cant be a traitor to King Edward, As i was never his subject.' such a badass.
That was his defense at trial, but Edward insisted that Scotland had been a vassal kingdom to England for some time before that, just as he did for Ireland and Wales.
@@ChB7124 In my opinion, maybe you should look at it this way. It is a 100 million (in today's money) Oscar winning story about the most famous Scotsman. It was scored, shot, and acted beautifully, and functions as a good movie even if you take out the name and settings and place it in medieval Japan. Many, in fact most historical figures from all countries will never get this chance to and never will get their own 100 million 3 hour epic.
Nah, they HATED Wallace and cheered his execution. As he was dragged to the gallows the crowd taunted him, beat him with sticks, and pelted him with excrement. And they were used to brutal punishments, that's just how things went in the Middle Ages.
If you think this is impressive, look up Major General Thomas Harrison. While he was being hung, drawn and quartered, after they started disemboweling him he got up off the table and punched the guy cutting his guts out right in the face.

Watch "Warrior King". It's actually directly related to this conflict and takes place during and post William Wallace. There is a scene in that movie that shows the visceral nature of being drawn and quartered (to some extent). There are obviously different ways of this punishment, but the scene is pretty insane despite being quite quick.
Kit Harrington did a series a few years ago for BBC about Guy Fawkes and that had a pretty grisly depiction of being drawn and quartered. It's stuck with me.
holy shit that brings tears to my eyes. what they did to him is unforgivable. william wallace is an absolute hero and his legacy will grow as time passes. what a great man he was.
@@cpj93070 yeah, but he did won at Stirling, betrayed and forsaken by his own and left to suffer and die at Smithfield London, and held it out to the end with his loyalty to Scotland just like the movie.
@@cpj93070 history marche have a full documentary about the wars off scottish independence you'd be surprised at how much is actually true 👍 it's now common knowledge that it was indeed the glasgow cathedral with Bishop robert wishart and Earl off Carrick the bruce with help from James Stewart the high stewart of scotland who helped wallace and made him guardian and scotland did indeed invade northen England they where based in Selkirk forest the Bishop willam Lamberton should also get a mention it was this group in 1297 that had a failed uprising in 1297 in irvine and this group that started the wars off scottish independence
I have been to the town this was filmed in Ireland...The town is named Trim and this castle is right in the middle of town...About 45 minutes outside of Dublin...Great town and great people...
Wallace and Bruce never met, they knew of each other but never met. Bruce was not at Stirling nor at the battle of Falkirk nor did he betray Wallace. The film is excellent as a film from Holywood but so many historical inaccuracies.
Braveheart had a lot of historical inaccuracies BUT you cannot deny that Mel Gibson is both one of hell of an actor and filmmaker. Ridiculously entertaining movie.
After almost a thousand years William Wallace is still a hero and his sacrifice will continue for another thousand years for his country and his people. I'm in awe of this man's spirit and strength it's almost like Christ.
Yes many of my countrypeople like being shoved around, bullied, their resources stolen and yet still say thank you dear England for being so generous. Fucking losers.
I think he was spinning in his grave first when the King James 4th of Scotland also became James 1st of England, United the two crowns and moved down to London to rule ;)
Hanging, drawing and quartering was not officially ended in the UK until 1870, but I think Robert Emmett was the last person to be sentenced (though iirc, he was just hanged and then beheaded once he was dead) in 1803.
Actually most of this movie is historically innacurate. Not only was the movie wrong about HOW he was killed as mentioned by the other guy in this feed but it was also wrong about WHEN he was killed. The events of his death in this movie are a solid like 15 years and another bunch of battles before his actual death. And im pretty sure he actually accepted some of the stuff that they tried to bribe him with prior to being killed. The real person wasnt near as badass or true to his moral code as the movie suggests. The movies just sortof loosely based on the life of the real william wallace. Its mostly bullshit.
Regardless if is a movie based on true story or just a good movie the point is your believe in something no matter what and nobody can break you up and no give up in your life
@@eddiewinehosen6665spoiler alert; a film based on the actions of an incredibly heroic guy due to his faith is not religious propaganda. The film would not exist without his faith. Was Star Wars Jedi propaganda? Just my opinion, I’m not being hostile. I’m not religious (and I have no time for Mel Gibson after he was outed as an anti-Semitic arsehole) but I quite liked the film 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t know what they actually did to him but I know that they tortured him probably cut off some toes or cut off a leg cut into the leg God knows. This scene has so much emotion I always cry. I love how he cared for something so much to die for and to have that passion just amazing.
Wallace was hanged, drawn, and quartered. After being dragged through town to the gallows, he was hanged multiple times until right before he died, then strapped down to the table, genitalia cut off and burned in front of him, then his internal organs were cut out and also burned. After that he was chopped into multiple pieces which were put on display in prominent locations as a warning. This absolutely barbaric execution method was the English standard for people convicted of treason or regicide. Stuff like that really puts the Middle Ages into perspective and makes you realize just how sick and twisted the human mind can become to think this stuff up
I remember there was a scene some time before his execution, where someone wanted to give him some medication that would mitigate the pain of torturing but he refused to take it
The princess offered him a Tylenol extra strength (trademark) and he refused because he said he already takes baby aspirin in the morning for his heart. That's the scene you are talking about. I remember it very clearly.
Damn, to think that times were really hard and violent in this age, that even being tortured alive doesn't even phase you. Death is like an old friend that's waiting to greet you.
A lot of criticism from historians but I think it’s one of the biggest masterpieces Hollywood has ever created. When you write stories it’s a story. It’s your own imagination. It’s what you perceive your image to be. He basically created his world and the way he wanted it to be. It’s historical fiction. And I think he did a terrific job. Not only that the acting was brilliant, the screen writing was brilliant, the costumes Al though historically inaccurate were top class, the pacing of the movie etc that’s why it won Oscar’s. If you want historical accuracy go watch a documentary. This is a movie. Totally different kettle of fish
The real execution was far more brutal and horrific. This movie has so many inaccuracies but still a great movie and William Wallace was a person who stood against Tyranny and corruption
You do know that the irish and Scottish came over to the united states in the 1600s in the potatoe shape boats they mixed with the white Americans from their the army kilt was born the army kilt came in 1600s they made an army slaughtered the native Indians crushed the country completely then in slave the black people to rebuild it and people should also know that haggis was made out native indian human organs when it came out it was originally known as a eating trophy 🏆 absorb the streath of the person they killed and Kings and Queens would have over Kings and Queens and have the heart brought to them and they eat it bit by bit to absorb the power I would like to apologise to native indian of what my ancestors did
The psychopathy of our species is never that far away from the brutality of this scene. We've seen it in Nazi Germany, Pol Pot's Killing Fields, ad nausea, over and over since the barbarism inflicted on Wallace. Will it soon change? Only if you believe that evolution happens relatively overnight. You see this kind of abject sadism is hardwired into our genome. That's why we must stand guard over our base instincts.
What I find touching is the two friends of him watching on as this goes on! When he shouts freedom the Irishman closes his eyes and takes in that shout of freedom like it resonated with his soul the big guy however just feels helpless and in total sadness as his friend and brother is mutilated before his eyes.
RUclips is getting worse it used to have 5 or 10 seconds advertisements and now it forces you all the time 30 seconds advertisements. It's time to move slowly to different place
Plot twist: Never ever torture or dehumanize your enemies, treat them with respect for they have shown you what they desire, as your offspring will pay dearly if you do so.
When this movie came out, I read that it had to be heavily edited because the original cut was too gory for audiences to handle. Anyone else hear similar?

As a Chinese audience, when I was watching this scenario, I had expected many times that there was a super hero coming out and taking Wallace away from the execution.
It didn't have that effect on me as s kid - there's a difference between Hollywood & historical fact - an enormous difference. You'd easily fall pray to authoritarian propaganda. People are slowly forgetting the art of thinking 😂
"In the year of our lord, patriots of Scotland who were outnumbered charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets, they fought like Scotsman and they won their freedom.... forever"
I love that we don't see what the executioner is doing. Even the goriest scene wouldn't compare to what our imaginations can conjure. And Gibson sells it with a great performance.
What could they do about it? 2 people who snuck into an English castle/town surrounded by enemy troups. They would've been dead before they could shout freedom!

I really love the Torturer. You’ve got appreciate a man who truly dedicates himself to his craft, wants to do a good job. This crown employee seems he would do the job for free… They had disemboweled him, castrated him, burned his guts, then finally they quartered him.

@@cpj93070 yeah, but he did won at Stirling, betrayed and forsaken by his own and left to suffer and die at Smithfield London, and held it out to the end with his loyalty to Scotland just like the movie.
@@Jason4GodandUS Only for Scotland to join with England couple hundred years later to form the Britain right? 😂😂
@@cpj93070 yup, it's crazy how things are.
@@cpj93070 history marche have a full documentary about the wars off scottish independence you'd be surprised at how much is actually true 👍 it's now common knowledge that it was indeed the glasgow cathedral with Bishop robert wishart and Earl off Carrick the bruce with help from James Stewart the high stewart of scotland who helped wallace and made him guardian and scotland did indeed invade northen England they where based in Selkirk forest the Bishop willam Lamberton should also get a mention it was this group in 1297 that had a failed uprising in 1297 in irvine and this group that started the wars off scottish independence
I have been to the town this was filmed in Ireland...The town is named Trim and this castle is right in the middle of town...About 45 minutes outside of Dublin...Great town and great people...

Right now the world needs more William Wallace's.
Trust me, America has one.

With no body. Just his head hovering
You still celebrating your draw?
@@vinzchannel01 The soul is immaterial.
And then Scotland's entire identity was based around being grump at their neighbour and never reaching a final.
His last meal was a fried Mars bar and he headbutted the executioner before saying, "pull down my kilt, they can see my willy." The he died. 😢
Fantastic movie with a magnificent score.
Robert the Bruce ended up becoming my favorite character. A man that screwed up bad and realized he'll never do it again.
He never met Robert the Bruce ya clown 🤡
@@trueblue3719 What are you trying to say, genius?
Wallace and Bruce never met, they knew of each other but never met. Bruce was not at Stirling nor at the battle of Falkirk nor did he betray Wallace. The film is excellent as a film from Holywood but so many historical inaccuracies.
@@johnsmeredith1 Cool story.
@@jgbecker24 He's right though.
They weren’t showing it, but they were ripping his intestines out and piling them up next to the table. His torso was hollowed out.
He had the guts
@@reymicroc I've never been so wrong in my whole life
Read they cut his wang off too.
@@reymicroc not any longer
Disturbing. I thought he was torn apart by horses
I believe many many Manly Tears were shed during this particular scene. A masterpiece of a movie and a Tale for the Ages.
Freedooooooommmm.....!
One of the best movies ever! One of my all time favorites.
Screaming "Freedom" is the act of brave, being a strong man, and having freedom in your life
the way he shouts his last breath freedom is just beyond bravery at the time and forever,,,,,,
This movie is a pure masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
Braveheart had a lot of historical inaccuracies BUT you cannot deny that Mel Gibson is both one of hell of an actor and filmmaker. Ridiculously entertaining movie.
Powerful moving film ...hard to watch at.times the cruel old days.
Also totally historically incorrect and massively dramatised to the point of hilarity, but yes: good cinema.
And today we have Scottish people watching the crown on Netflix.
Hahaha
Doesn't current British monarchy actually follows from Scottish monarchy through Robert the Bruce?
Just realized it’s the same guy who’s playing as a badass in expandable 3.. lol incredible guy! Legendary!
After almost a thousand years William Wallace is still a hero and his sacrifice will continue for another thousand years for his country and his people. I'm in awe of this man's spirit and strength it's almost like Christ.
Almost like Christ?! Behave yourself 😂
@@benx6549 yes William suffered more than Christ.
@@mikeyu5004 no one has or ever will suffer more than Christ.
@@susanlester1 Trust me, Christ is as real as Santa. When I hit my toe, I already suffer more than Christ.
@@alenparker3056 not true, but carry on.
30 years later and the movie is still brilliant and incredibly inspiring
The most beautiful movie score ever made. James Horner. Hans Zimmers work is my second favorite
Hans Zimmer music makes me cry!! The interstellar theme is beautiful.
@@firefly-fu3ce oh god it is insanely beautiful.
More proof that Braveheart is one of the greatest movies ever made. This is one of the most painful death scenes ive ever watched
If this was Robin Hood, his Merry Men would have come from the crowd with bows and arrows and pulled off a dramatic rescue.
And Scotts voted to stay with England... Wallace is spinning in his grave like a fan(((
So his effort was a waste of time ,bit like Nicola Sturgeon ! she seems a bit fishy to me 🤔
Yes many of my countrypeople like being shoved around, bullied, their resources stolen and yet still say thank you dear England for being so generous. Fucking losers.
I think he was spinning in his grave first when the King James 4th of Scotland also became James 1st of England, United the two crowns and moved down to London to rule ;)
You sure he has a grave?
Don't worry though, they'll keep having referendums until they get the result they want.
Hanging, drawing and quartering was not officially ended in the UK until 1870, but I think Robert Emmett was the last person to be sentenced (though iirc, he was just hanged and then beheaded once he was dead) in 1803.
A true Patriot of Ireland if ever there was one
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c That he was!!
You are one of the few I've seen use the word "hanged" properly. Kudos!
@@madddog6790 Don't mess with England then.
They could have all just overwhelmed them but chose to just watch him die probably the most ending i hate.
In reality most of those watching were there to watch him die. Dont give into hollywoods lies about history
Their were only a small handful to witness Wallace execution the rest were British commoners everyday people or villagers that witnessed it.
The ending you hate most* but yes I understand your frustration with inaction
its like the people here
just sitting around doing nothing :D It is our world! and you dont hate that too? xD
i mean there's probably a bunch of archers and crossbowmen up on the ramparts keeping watch
One of the most powerful scenes ever
Now, I have watched this movie more than 10 times (Literally), And this scene gives the essence of it in 3 mins. Goosebumps!
It's more heartbreaking when even those who want Wallace dead start saying "mercy"
Gets me everytime!
This was downplayed to how gruesome the real thing was.
Of course otherwise it would have been impossible to put it in a movie
No it's brutal
What was the real way he died like
@@matthewperez555 he was castrated then dragged through the streets while being whipped, and finally he was decapitated (I think)
Actually most of this movie is historically innacurate. Not only was the movie wrong about HOW he was killed as mentioned by the other guy in this feed but it was also wrong about WHEN he was killed. The events of his death in this movie are a solid like 15 years and another bunch of battles before his actual death. And im pretty sure he actually accepted some of the stuff that they tried to bribe him with prior to being killed. The real person wasnt near as badass or true to his moral code as the movie suggests. The movies just sortof loosely based on the life of the real william wallace. Its mostly bullshit.
1:56 me on the last day of school
Lol 😆
The sheer pain on Stephen's face was perfect for this scene. Brilliant actor.
Regardless if is a movie based on true story or just a good movie the point is your believe in something no matter what and nobody can break you up and no give up in your life
The film braveheart was based on the true story of William Wallace. However, roughly 90% of the films story was made up.
I love this actor as well as his directing of the movies Apocalypto and Hacksaw Ridge
Hacksaw ridge was literally one of the greatest true story movies ever
@@tylercaramella2213 Hacksaw Ridge was an atrocious POS movie with so much disgusting religious propaganda it made me puke!
@@eddiewinehosen6665spoiler alert; a film based on the actions of an incredibly heroic guy due to his faith is not religious propaganda. The film would not exist without his faith. Was Star Wars Jedi propaganda? Just my opinion, I’m not being hostile. I’m not religious (and I have no time for Mel Gibson after he was outed as an anti-Semitic arsehole) but I quite liked the film 🤷🏻♂️
Go back to r/atheist
This is movie making genius. Our imaginations are all we need to understand the gravity of what Wallace went through.
1:55
US American wakes up in the morning.
Don’t know what they actually did to him but I know that they tortured him probably cut off some toes or cut off a leg cut into the leg God knows. This scene has so much emotion I always cry. I love how he cared for something so much to die for and to have that passion just amazing.
Wallace was hanged, drawn, and quartered. After being dragged through town to the gallows, he was hanged multiple times until right before he died, then strapped down to the table, genitalia cut off and burned in front of him, then his internal organs were cut out and also burned. After that he was chopped into multiple pieces which were put on display in prominent locations as a warning. This absolutely barbaric execution method was the English standard for people convicted of treason or regicide. Stuff like that really puts the Middle Ages into perspective and makes you realize just how sick and twisted the human mind can become to think this stuff up
@@sandervanduren2779 I don’t know how anyone can with stand that kind of pain.
simonap99. They cut him open and pulled his intestines out.
Eviscerate
Historically, he was tied down, disemboweled and then drawn and quartered and his entrails were burnt.
love James Horner score in this movie!
Stunning
It's beautiful
Crowd - "Mercy Mercy Mercy"
William Wallace - "TATAKAEEEEE"
I remember there was a scene some time before his execution, where someone wanted to give him some medication that would mitigate the pain of torturing but he refused to take it
The princess offered him a Tylenol extra strength (trademark) and he refused because he said he already takes baby aspirin in the morning for his heart.
That's the scene you are talking about.
I remember it very clearly.
@@We_Are_Borg_478 🤣🤣🤣
He refused to numb his wits
William didn't take any medication because he had heard what painkillers can do to your kidneys and digestive tract, constipation etc.
@@We_Are_Borg_478 you added (trademark) 😂😂☠️
This was my great grandfather from years ago I can’t believe they made a movie!
Damn, to think that times were really hard and violent in this age, that even being tortured alive doesn't even phase you. Death is like an old friend that's waiting to greet you.
It's a movie. Calm down. In reality he would have been screaming like a 3 year old girl. It's literal biology.
One of Mel Gibson's finest films, defiantly deserved best picture and best director. 👍
A TRUE WARRIOR NEVER DIES BUT INCREASES HIS LEGACY UPON OTHERS ✊️👊💪⭐️🌟⚡️
A lot of criticism from historians but I think it’s one of the biggest masterpieces Hollywood has ever created. When you write stories it’s a story. It’s your own imagination. It’s what you perceive your image to be. He basically created his world and the way he wanted it to be. It’s historical fiction. And I think he did a terrific job. Not only that the acting was brilliant, the screen writing was brilliant, the costumes Al though historically inaccurate were top class, the pacing of the movie etc that’s why it won Oscar’s. If you want historical accuracy go watch a documentary. This is a movie. Totally different kettle of fish
The real execution was far more brutal and horrific. This movie has so many inaccuracies but still a great movie and William Wallace was a person who stood against Tyranny and corruption
You do know that the irish and Scottish came over to the united states in the 1600s in the potatoe shape boats they mixed with the white Americans from their the army kilt was born the army kilt came in 1600s they made an army slaughtered the native Indians crushed the country completely then in slave the black people to rebuild it and people should also know that haggis was made out native indian human organs when it came out it was originally known as a eating trophy 🏆 absorb the streath of the person they killed and Kings and Queens would have over Kings and Queens and have the heart brought to them and they eat it bit by bit to absorb the power I would like to apologise to native indian of what my ancestors did
This scene turns your stomach.
it turned his too I'd imagine.
This movie was one of the best depictions of recent history, this and terminator 2. A really great romantic comedy.
The psychopathy of our species is never that far away from the brutality of this scene. We've seen it in Nazi Germany, Pol Pot's Killing Fields, ad nausea, over and over since the barbarism inflicted on Wallace. Will it soon change? Only if you believe that evolution happens relatively overnight. You see this kind of abject sadism is hardwired into our genome. That's why we must stand guard over our base instincts.
What I find touching is the two friends of him watching on as this goes on! When he shouts freedom the Irishman closes his eyes and takes in that shout of freedom like it resonated with his soul the big guy however just feels helpless and in total sadness as his friend and brother is mutilated before his eyes.
Actor insuperable lo maximo sus actuaciones.fantasticas y sublimes👏👏👏👏👏👏💜
RUclips is getting worse it used to have 5 or 10 seconds advertisements and now it forces you all the time 30 seconds advertisements. It's time to move slowly to different place
Plot twist: Never ever torture or dehumanize your enemies, treat them with respect for they have shown you what they desire, as your offspring will pay dearly if you do so.
When this movie came out, I read that it had to be heavily edited because the original cut was too gory for audiences to handle. Anyone else hear similar?
enough to make grown man cry
One of the best movies ever.
This man is a legend. It's a shame what happened to him
For a second there even his Executioner admires his bravery.
one word which can completely describe this movie! “Freedom” ❤

As a Chinese audience, when I was watching this scenario, I had expected many times that there was a super hero coming out and taking Wallace away from the execution.
Mel Gibson cut that part out at the last minute. Apparently is was historically inaccurate
I cried as kid watching this. This movie made authoritarianism my enemy.
It didn't have that effect on me as s kid - there's a difference between Hollywood & historical fact - an enormous difference. You'd easily fall pray to authoritarian propaganda. People are slowly forgetting the art of thinking 😂
Vaccine mandates
Öne of best scenes of cinema history. Mel gibson s film are so Good. İ recommend you "sound of freedom" too
I just watched it. I am really impressed. Some heroes are immortal, I know that. Freedom is just freedom...
"In the year of our lord, patriots of Scotland who were outnumbered charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets, they fought like Scotsman and they won their freedom.... forever"
I love that we don't see what the executioner is doing. Even the goriest scene wouldn't compare to what our imaginations can conjure. And Gibson sells it with a great performance.
As a army veteran, I would not watch my brother in arms tortured. My opinion .
Pretty sad
What could they do about it? 2 people who snuck into an English castle/town surrounded by enemy troups. They would've been dead before they could shout freedom!
@@eddiewinehosen6665 live for nothing die for something daddy
I couldn’t even be in the same room where my dog was euthanized.
@@justicegusting2476 sad thing is, I bet your pup was looking for you the whole time wondering where you were. Gotta be in the room with them even if it rips your heart out.
I could only watch this movie once. My mom and i went. I remember seeing his guys in the crowd and thought they were going to rescue him (i didn't know the story). When it didn't happen and he was gutted like that it broke me. Never was able to see it again.
Not a single smartphone in the crowd, just the people living in the moment!
I really love the Torturer. You’ve got appreciate a man who truly dedicates himself to his craft, wants to do a good job. This crown employee seems he would do the job for free…
They had disemboweled him, castrated him, burned his guts, then finally they quartered him. I mean that’s a delicate bit of workmanship…it’s not just your usual chop chop and it’s over. You’ve got to be meticulous, really draw it out (pun intended).
