Is it assumed that the Phillip guy, was being gay with the effeminate soy prince. And Longshanks realized this, and that's why he taught him how to fly? And that is why the prince was so upset and tried to stab his dad. Longshanks realized if the Scots found out about the prince's lifestyle, they would sack York in a day.

Is there a question or discussion point in there or are you just making an observation about a 27 year old movie?

I just re-watched it for the first time in about 10 years. I never connected the dots that they were both buddies like that and that's why the King gave him the heave hoe. I thought he was just doing it because he was a d*ck. Makes sense now.

Op just likes watching gay people fly. Kind of odd, but who am I to judge?

It’s crazy to me that Longshanks wasn’t portrayed as the LGBT ally that he actually was

I agree...after another re-watch, Im convinced now that William Wallace started his rebellion, not out of a quest for freedom for Scotland, but because they had murdered his wife.

Call me crazy

The Defenestration of Prague was the highlight of European History class.

Yeah, I mean it's super obvious. Not trying to be a dick.

Listen to the narrator during the marriage scene between him and the French princess. It goes along the lines that "It was said that if the princess was to conceive then Longshanks would have to do it himself, and that may have been the goal all along."

He didn't kill Philip because he had an epiphany that his son was involved with him, he did it as a punishment because his son was not interested enough in running the kingdom. He removed a distraction.

Also, Philip was giving him "advice" on how to deal with Wallace, which may have pushed him over the edge. His son was weak and easily influenced, someone using his attachment to rule via proxy was dangerous to the future of his kingdom.

I think they had already sacked York when that scene occurred. I believe that's the scene where they find out that Wallace had sacked York and he sent them the head of Longshanks' nephew.

My takeaway from this post is that you are highly deficient in gaydar. Which means you will be 10 minutes into an arse pounding before you realize what happened.

Agreed, but they murdered his wife because they married in secret so the English lord would not have sexual rights to her. If the Scots were free, they would not have needed to be secretly married

Maybe you’re speaking in a more historical accurate context but I think the movie implies they secret marriage was because of her disapproving parents

ETA i rewatched recently but that’s how I remember it, could be wrong
