I visited Scotland once and I was flabbergasted by the scenery. I would have walks whole listening to Braveheart’s OST. It was magical!

my ancestors fought with wallace, and it was these battles and the years of battles that followed that helped shape scotland into what it is today

I'm Scottish,from Glasgow and this is still my favourite film of all time. I know it's not even close to being historically accurate but it's a film, not a documentary. I've been watching films now for over 45 years and I'd consider myself to fairly well educated in all aspects of movie-making and I've yet to see any film before or since this have such authentic and realistic battle scenes.

Braveheart is a top 10 movie of all time. I still remember watching this movie when I was like 12 and coming to the conclusion that this man had a bunch of different characteristics that made him about as close to the perfect man you could get.

I am currently at stirling University and can see the wallace monument right now as im typing this

I know you know how to fight, but it's our wits that make us men! There are so many amazing quotes in this movie

No, there's no historical evidence that this happened.

The score for BraveHeart was composed by James Horner, also known for Titanic (1997), The Mask Of Zorro (1998) and many others.

Yes, I visited Edinburgh and Loch Ness in Scotland in April, 2023. The landscape was amazing. Funny enough, everyone rips on Scottish food, but I didn’t have one bad meal there.

I’ve travelled to many places around the world and Scotland is my top 3 favourite. The nature, architecture, history…amazing!

Yeah, they were just playing. And yes, Gibson was the lead in The Patriot. And ya gotta realize things happened here and now back then. Things were very different, so love had to happen fast. The statement was, "You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me."

I can answer at least 2 of your questions. Yes, beating the crap out of each other growing up was common and a form of "playing". My mother was from Scotland, and the "spare the rod and spoil the child" mindset is embedded in the culture. I was by no means abused, my mother was a very loving woman, but I had a very healthy fear of consequences, which is what is seriously lacking in today's society. I did visit Scotland, and it was absolutely beautiful! Do yourself a favor and look up "Military Tattoo" from Edinburgh, and give that a listen! Amazing pipe and drum corps!

So many people misunderstand 9:50, its the opposite. Be a farmer then you can clap my daughters cheeks. He doesn't want his daughter harmed in retaliation from the enemy if he is a fighter or for her to be a widow.

I have quite alot of Scottish ancestry along with Irish and Welsh (from Clan MacKenzie) Chief Iian MacKenzie helped lead 500 MacKenzies in the Battle of Bannockburn defeating the English. Proud of my Scottish roots. The sound of the bagpipes always brings me to tears. The Vikings were brutal back centuries ago as we all know but they were warned to never go near the shores of the Scots as we were even crazier than them. I'm descended from the highland clans with castle Eilean Donan and Castle Leod both being in my lineage.

Phenomenal movie, based loosely on the life of William Wallace. I have lost count of the amount of times I've watched this movie, and it's my number one movie of all time, because I'm Scottish.

They had to hide a lot of Wallace death as would be to graphic to show in it's full "glory. To be honest it would be to gory for the SAW franchise.

Rob Roy is another Scottish historical film that came out the same year as Braveheart, and as a result was MASSIVELY overlooked. It stars Liam Neeson, John Hurt, Jessica Lange and Tim Roth. Tim got a well-deserved Oscar nod (his only one I think) for playing one of the best villians I've ever seen on screen. It's WELL worth a watch.

Great job young FLICKS!!

The live disembowlment was "shown" as well as it could have been

I've visited Scotland- The countryside is exactly what you see in the movie. (Of course, the cities are more like Trainspotting...) If you're a fan of the Braveheart soundtrack, check out Afro-Celt Sound System sometime. Their first album is full of this kind of stuff.

The Scottish "war pipes" are the most sorrowful sounding instrument ever made... respect.🔥they didn't play back then.. most likely they castrated him.. disemboweled him and showed him his guts while he was awake... before beheading him and pulled him apart with horses.....no play zone😅

hi, i’m from Scotland and Braveheart ranks high in my favourite films. My first 4 fave films are the planet of the apes reboot Rise, Dawn, War starring Andy Serkis as Caesar and the new one of the franchise Kingdom. The greatest trilogy of all time. Have you seen them? maybe you can review them sometime it would be greatly appreciated and you wouldn’t be disappointed in them at all. Back to Braveheart though it isn’t factually accurate it’s still an amazing film and makes me proud to be a Scot. In Stirling there is the Wallace monument that you can visit. It was built to keep a part of his body after he was cut to pieces after being hung, drawn and quartered by the english. His sword is on display there too. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this movie. Take care and thanks for watching it. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #FREEDOM🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Speaking of the initial "clash" of battle, there is a saying from a book called The Hagakure (Japan)....."A Samurai goes into battle the same way a hawk takes a dove. Though it flies into thousands,it pays no attention other than the one it has marked".

I would follow a leader like William Wallace was in real life ... btw he was a noble from birth .... 🤫 PS : The execution scene is pretty accurate..... was what happened to him in real life .... They are pulling hes "guts" out of hes stommach ....... 🤪 "You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me !" EPIC LINE !

Oh, my friend - that's a great one! And Horner's music!

In the scene where wallace tells murron that he loves her and wants to marry her, KZread reactors are always surprised at how fast hes moving because they think in terms of modern dating practices. The idea of multiple long-term relationships before settling down is a very new concept. Until very recently life was a REAL struggle, life spans were short, and many children died in infancy. There was no time to "find the right person" or "wait until it feels right".

Another great real classic movie with incredible film scenery in Ireland is THE QUIET MAN with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Great love story good action and great story. 1952 in color great movie

The king knew what was up and despite it all, he was trying to teach his son.

Historical note: The name "Braveheart" was never used for William Wallace, but Robert the Bruce (the guy who asked "... now bleed with me"). In reality he never betrayed William Wallace. The two were like besties. But as a Scottish noble Bruce had no real choice but to do his duty to the English king. In the end he was the one who freed Scotland and ruled afterwards as king of Scots. But before that he was hunted like an outlaw by the English and he was pretty badass, according to some sources. (I recommend you watch "Outlaw King", which does a better job portaying Robert the Bruce, the real Braveheart.)

This movie is fantasy based on fact. The film takes place 300 years before it was common for Scots to wear kilts, they didn't paint their faces blue, there was no French princess love affair, the battle of Sterling was on a bridge not out in an open field and even the name of the movie attributed to Wallace is false. Robert the Bruce was known as Braveheart, not Wallace. Still a fun film though.

Visited Scotland. Lived in Ireland for 2 years.

Another movie I would recommend in regards to the Scottish rebellion that is more accurate is outlaw king. It’s about what happens after Wallace was murdered. Also a series you might like is outlander. I mainly just recommend the first 3 seasons. It’s about the Jacobite rebellion which was the last rebellions made against the English. I love anything about Scotland it’s my heritage and we are very proud people

Awesome reaction. This was one of my favorite films growing up. Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors ever in my opinion. Also, they're splitting him apart at the end. It's an old torture device they used to do. They cut you open then pull your intestines out and wind them around thorns and they crank a wheel that pulls them out while they wrap around they stick off thorns. Something like that. Also, why aren't you gonna watch the passion of the christ on here? You really should. It's one of the most amazingly well done movies ever I think. Jim Caviezel is amazing in that movie. Truly incredible performance. He actually got struck by lightning while he was in the cross. Pretty wild if you think about it. He also got hit again I think and had pneumonia while he was up there. Guy is a beast.

If you’re talking about the Irish madman (“It’s my island!”), that’s David O’Hara. He’s actually Scottish. He was unrecognizable in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”. He played Albert Runcorn, an employee from The Ministry of Magic, as well as Harry Potter disguised as Runcorn. He was also in a movie called “The Matchmaker”, with Janeane Garofalo. He plays an Irishman in that one too. It’s a charming romcom, although I wish it didn’t have such an abundance of profanity.

I know this will be completely ignored. There are two movies out connected to Braveheart that you might want to consider watching. One stars the actor who portrayed young Robert and the other is about the young Robert starring Chris Pine. Another great movie that has been ignored COMPLETELY by reacters and Patreon members is a retelling of King Arthur with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley. Owen and Morgan Freeman are in an excellent period piece called The Last Kingdom. No spoilers here but imagine Freeman living in a castle as a Lord. If THAT doesn't pique your interest, I didn't know what will! I know you were VERY interested in The Last Samurai so you should consider watching 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves.
