Braveheart

[Bubba]

Oh my good lord... I didn't think it was possible to have so many historical inaccuracies in one film but I think Braveheart might just take the biscuit. At least Gibson admitted that the much of the film is fictitious. The majority of it was done for dramatic purposes. Things such as William Wallace fathering Princess Isabella's child (wtf?) and The Prince of Wales being portrayed as homosexual even though he fathered five children. It really didn't show Robert the Bruce in the best light either considering how much he is revered in Scotland.

My two best friends are from Glasgow and I love the country and its people. Though I don't think this film helped relations between England and Scotland very much. Showing English Lords bedding peasant women on the night of their marriage... what absolute bollocks. This never, ever happened. I just don't think Mel Gibson likes the English very much. For further proof... see The Patriot.

The speech is indeed very rousing though. I'll give him that.
