Tommy Flanagan talks about the unexpected series of events after getting Braveheart under Mel Gibson.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy, Power Book IV) joins us this week and opens up on how his near death experience after a knife fight led to him not only changing career paths from being a DJ to acting, but also allowed him to realize that it’s okay to fear things in life. Tommy talks about drawing from experiences and interactions in his past to inspire his ‘tough guy’ bravado that he portrays with a lot of the roles he has. We also talk about his underprepared experiences on Braveheart and Gladiator, how he was able to overcome imposter syndrome in this insecure business, and his time shooting Power Book IV: Force.

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.

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.

Damn, I guess I never realized Braveheart was Tommy's first movie. His performance made me think I'd seen him in a dozen or so movies dealing with historical realism, or historical fantasy ("Highlander" or "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" comes to mind). His performance in Braveheart was so eponymous I didn't realize he wasn't in other such productions in prior years. He's got "THAT FACE", you know?

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 Жыл бұрын
