William Wallace was an actual historical figure who led the Scots along with Andrew Moray in the battle at Stirling Bridge and Falkirk where he was defeated and brought to King Edward's castle in Glasgow and was tortured and killed, just like in the movie. There is a statue of him at Edinburgh Castle and at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, and another one in Aberdeen. So yes, Wallace was a famous figure in Scotland.

Some of it is accurate, but not a lot. The battle of Striling is actually The battle of Stirling bridge, as the Scots used a tactical advantage as a choke point for English soldiers that had to cross the bridge, not just a massive field they fought in. Also, the princess was only 9 years old at the time Wallace was executed, just for a couple of examples. That being said this movie's still in my all-time top 10 favorites, and has been since I watched it in theaters.

Mine too. I think I was also 8 or 9 when I saw this on DVD for the first time. Many parents would say my dad was _way_ too permissive with my movie watching. I was allowed to watch rated R movies when I was 7 (with his approval, to keep me away from anything too disturbing or sexual). My dad believes that if you try to shield kids from certain things, like violence and adult language, you just make it more attractive because it's "forbidden." So, it's better to normalize it as a part of life (within reason, of course). Part of me, I have to admit, also thinks that he just didn't want to watch "kids movies" all the time and letting me watch adult oriented movies made it more enjoyable for him when we watched stuff together. But he would never admit it even if it were true. ✌🤓

Does quite ironically fit in with the initial "Historians from England will say that I'm a liar" line. Like, no shit, buddy. Braveheart is one of Gibson's "historical" movies where everybody just shits on the real stuff (like "The Patriot")- which is weird, because "We Were Soldiers" is pretty much accurate to the real events.

Two war movies that are very historically accurate with very few liberties taken are both set during the American Civil War. "Glory" and "Gettysburg." I highly recommend both. "Gettysburg" centers around the battle of "Gettysburg" the bloodiest battle to take place on American soil and perhaps the most important battle of the American Civil War. The movie was originally supposed to be a made for TV miniseries, so it isn't as graphic as other war movies, and it is also long at just 4 and half hours. Glory centers around the 54th Massachusetts regiment. The first military unit consisting of Black soldiers to be raised in the North during the Civil War. Prior to 1863, no concerted effort was made to recruit Black troops as Union soldiers. The movie features tremendous performances by the entire cast, which included Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington who would win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

@jmadrigal2833 11 ай бұрын

I once had a biography of Robert Bruce written by a Scottish historian. If I remember correctly, according to the autobiography, Wallace and Bruce never met. At the time of the movie setting, the Bruce was isolated on his ancestral lands, struggling to save his House, which, at this time was threatened by the Lord's on the Scottish council, scheming for downfall of the House. His only ally, ironically, Edward, under whom he had squired and with whom he went on Crusade to the Holy Land. Also, the Bruce, along with Edward, and another knight in Edward's service (can't recall his name) were considered the TOP 3 Knights of Christendom, as they were tried in battle and the winners of all the major tournaments they competed in. Like William and the Black knight in "A Knight's Tale". So, if they had ever fought, Bruce would have crushed Wallace. (Who, according to accounts, looked more like Hamish, but, with black hair). It was through the Bruce's own machinations that he became the foremost Lord of Scotland and finally lead Scotland against Edward. The battle at the end, where the Bruce charges as if spur of the moment, he ACTUALLY planned for the location and the battle, and went there with the intent to engage the English in battle, NOT to negotiate.

@jmadrigal2833 11 ай бұрын

After Wallace's death, the Bruce finally secured the position of his House and began bringing Scotland and the rival Lords, one by one, under his control. He then began fighting the English as they portray Wallace doing. Sometimes he won, sometimes not. In one engagement he ordered a retreat. His force had to retreat across a brook/small river in a forest. To allow his men to escape he held the ford by himself against at least 12 pursuing English knights, telling them as they came up. The battle at the end, where he leads the Scots, was, again, not on a whim, but because by that time he was so successful in driving English forces out of Scotland that the new English King finally assembled another grand army to invade Scotland again. Bruce gathered the Scottish Lord's and the army and strategized where to meet the English and how they would attack. When the armies met at Bannockburn, Bruce rode out by himself to get a final look at the English. An English knight, Sir Charles de Bohun, I believe, who probably knew Bruce from tourneys and service in the English army, recognized him and with lance at rest charged him in single combat. Rather than turn back to the Scottish line Bruce charged, armed with a battle-axe. He deflected Bohun's lance and, as they passed, buried the axe in Bohun's helmet and head. He then rode back leaving Bohun on the field. It's said he was nonchalant and unmoved about the encounter.

@jmadrigal2833 11 ай бұрын

Also, as the Bruce was a Great Knight and victor of tournaments, he had won many prizes and was actually outfitted in the most modern (for the time) and state of the art armor and weaponry. Armor like Edward's or any rich English knight, not the scrubby, second-hand looking armor they show him in at the end.

Look up the detailed description of the punishment referred to as being "drawn & quartered". The "drawing" refers to being hanged by the neck until almost becoming unconscious. Then lowered onto a table where they removed the person's genitals which were placed in a container & burned in front of the person. This was followed by being disemboweled with the large curved blade that was set out on the table in the movie. Next the axman removed the head before the arms & legs were tied to 4 horses & torn into quarters or hacked into quarters with an ax. The head & quarters were then taken to various parts of the kingdom & displayed on bridges & other structures in major cities. This punishment was reserved for anyone who was a traitor or went against the Church. There were some executions that someone might even think were worse, i.e., for attempting to poison the King, etc.

So Wallace raised the armies to fight for Scottish independance. Robert the Bruce fought with Wallace in the Battle of Stirling which was their greatest victory. He was then betrayed (as in this movie); at which he was drawn and quartered. The final scene is Robert the Bruces vs King Edward in The Battle of Bannockburn. The main character has to die, since its all (loosely) based on historical events 😂 William Wallaces long sword is still on display in Stirling.

The universe is a strange and unknown thing. Those who have died and come back tell of total love and a wonderful reality. Death is not to be feared but invited. It is our way out of this horrible world that we live in now. There is nothing to fear but fear itself! The most true statement ever made!

You really do excellent reactions to your many movies. I feel I should like to suggest two more for you to watch one, is a rather oldie called Random Harvest w/Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson. It's a tear-jerking romance. The second is more modern, called Steel Magnolias w/Sally Field & Julia Roberts. I truly believe you will enjoy both movies! Thanks again for sharing.

The only DVD commentary that I have ever enjoyed for any movie was Mel Gibson's commentary for this one. This movie was fascinating to make. He got sued by animal rights groups all over the world because they thought that he was actually killing horses when they ran into the spears. This movie spawned the invention of an animatronic that is still used to this day because it is so realistic. My favorite commentary Insight though is about the purple flower. Mel said he would have loved to use Scottish thistle, which is what that is, But he was forced to use artificial Scottish thistle. Because if that little girl had tried to pick real Scottish Thistle they would have had to give her surgery to repair the tendons in her fingers that got severed. It is apparently some of the sharpest and toughest thorns in all of the plant Kingdom.

William fought for the previous Scottish king, John Balliol. After Wallace was executed, Robert the Bruce turned on King Edward, assassinating the last Balliol supporter, John Comyn the Red, in a church. That is the Scottish noble that betrayed Wallace at Falkirk in the movie. Robert the Bruce was excommunicated for desecrating that church. Robert the Bruce rose up in revolt ... achieving independence 8 years of total war. If you have Scottish ancestors, you have ancestors who fought in these wars (250 years before Highlander).

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).

Mel Gibson won the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director for the film, and it is easy to see why. Screenwriter Randall Wallace would go on to write more films as well as direct. His films include: - The Man In the Iron Mask with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gerard Depardieu, and Gabriel Byrne. Based on the novel by Dumas, which is a "sequel" story of The Three Musketeers. The older actors are the immortal Musketeers...Malkovich (Athos), Depardieu (Porthos), Irons (Aramis) and Byrne (D'Artagnan), - We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson, Sam Elliott, Barry Pepper, and Greg Kinnear. Based on the book We Were Soldiers Once and Young by Hal Moore and Joe Galloway. Gibson plays Moore and Pepper plays Galloway. About the first major battle of Vietnam and the battle fought on the home front. - Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Garner, Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Directed by Michael Bay, Not the greatest, but the recreation of the attack on Pearl Harbor is amazing! Voight as FDR is also impressive. Wallace wrote it only. - Secretariat with Diane Lane and John Malkovich about the famous thoroughbred racehorse Secretariat. Wallace directed the film only. As much as I love Brenden Gleeson (Professor Mad-Eye Moody) as Hamish in this, my favorite character is Stephen played by David O'Hara. I have used the "The Lord says He can get me out of this, but He's pretty sure you're f------d!" line numerous times in real life. O'Hara also was in Harry Potter in 'The Deathly Hallows' as Albert Runcorn and as Harry Potter (thanks to the polyjuice potion).
