What it does is mock history. For one thing, there was a bridge in the Battle of Stirling Bridge; in Braveheart there isn't for some bizarre reason. For another, Isabelle - the French Princess - was around the age of infancy when Wallace campaigned against the English. For another, William Wallace is often considered as the stereotypical giant Scottish warrior; Mel Gibson is a short, Australian anti-semite alcoholic.wouldyoukindly99 said:What? Like it stereotypes you as a people? It does potray Scotland as the heroes.
I get what you mean and all my quibbles are pretty nit-picky to be honest, but Braveheart is a topic that's often brought up amongst my friends and family, and it's treated regularly with such disdain that I've come to loathe that movie.
