Braveheart

DAMN I LOVE THIS MOVIE.


"BUURRN IT!!!"

Must have seen it a million times when it was on HBO like all the time a few years back.

and to this day Scotland is not free and still dominated by England

Just a TERRIBLE movie. A complete abomination in every sense of the word. I cant imagine how one could not laugh at the comedy of errors in this dopey movie.

The worst part is people actually walked out of the movie theaters believing the events portrayed in that overrated garbage movie.


Im still on the fence on what is worse, the actual movie or the roadkill that Mel Gibson chose for his wig in the movie. Its a toss up at this point for me.

Yes. Because every movie absolutely MUST be 100% historically accurate.
Don't be a dumbass.
I personally like history, particularly military history, but this is hollywood. This is just a movie.
It's for a couple of hours of mindless entertainment.
NOT a documentary.

Except for the "overrated garbage" part of your statement, I agree here. I think people are not as smart as they used to be. They in general tend to believe what they are told, instead of learning for themselves the truth.

But, dude, come on. Braveheart was a very good movie.

TBro, I understand what you are saying but the egregious liberties with histoy that Braveheart takes are so preposterous it completely destroys the movie.

To suggest that William Wallace impregnated the future queen and therefore sired the future King of England is so laughable that it doesnt even merit a response.

And if that was not bad enough, which it is, the most offensive distortion(at least to a scotsman) is the gross attempt to villify a true hero of Scotland in Robert the Bruce.



This glosses over the ridiculous portrayal of the Kings son and other such idiotic inclusions, tartans, kilts, etc.

Thank you Baloo, that is another excellent point.


It defies logic. The entire movie is an abomination.

I enjoyed Saving Private Ryan but I thought 300 was just TERRIBLE. Roided up men running around in speedos and capes screaming their heads off. Just sheer stupidity.


Clearly this movie was made to play to the tapout/affliction/MMA generation that enjoys mindless idiocy like this.

I've always really enjoyed the movie from an entertainment standpoint, but once I found out how inaccurate it all was it definitely hurt it a little for me

I can still watch it and enjoy it, just not as much

What fact is grossly inaccurate?
