Hollywoods bastardization of Scottish History
Back in 1995 when I first saw this movie I was wowed, it was a cinematic epic and one which I thoroughly enjoyed.... a few years later when I met my future spouse I was subjected to this movie on a weekly basis and now I cannot bare to watch it.
Anyway back to the movie, if you have been living under a rock and haven't seen it here's the basic story Mel Gibson plays William Wallace a Scottish highlander who leads his people in a uprising against the English monarch.
Now just so you know this film however "based" on historical events is completely inaccurate, Wallace was in actual fact a Scottish Noble (his family was rich), Wallace never had a wife, and the French princess Mel gets jiggy with would've been around 8 years old at the time, the only real truth in the movie was that he was hung drawn and quartered and he lead an uprising...the rest is Hollywood bullsh*t.
I'm giving the film 4 stars because if you are unaware of the historical inaccuracies and you haven't seen it 100 times you will be entertained, its a good movie.
