Does anyone know what he is saying, and what it means?
He shouts "Alba gu bra!",
It means "Scotland forever!".
In Braveheart, William Wallace shouts a Gaelic phrase after the freedom speech. What is he saying ?
What do the Brits think about the movie Braveheart?
I’ve always wondered wouldn’t a native born Englishman’s pride be a bit disturbed by the way Brits are portrayed in otherwise one of the most emotionally powerful movies ever made?
I’m not particularly bothered about the portrayal of the English in ‘Braveheart’.
The movie depicts - with a certain degree of artistic licence - events which took place around 700 years ago during the rule of an English king who was well documented as a cruel and ruthless man. What is shown may not be pleasant, but it’s behaviour which would have happened during medieval warfare and conquest.
In any case, we may have lost 1-0 to the Scots at Bannockburn, but we beat them 3-0 at Culloden and there hasn’t been a re-match since.
There have been movies where particular national or ethnic groups have been shown in a much more negative light, and in relation to much more recent events.
When ‘Black Hawk Down’ came out in 2001, there were complaints that the portrayal of the Somalis was racist, showing them as brutal and ignorant savages.The Malaysians and Pakistanis were also unhappy because their troops had been shown as mere ‘bus drivers’ evacuating the Rangers from Mogadishu when in reality several of their units were involved in firefights with the Somali militiamen.
What is the best film between Gladiator and Braveheart?
I dont know what one to watch tonight.
The majority of Braveheart is fictitious, but it’s still an awesome movie.
how can i transform my garden to look like a scene from braveheart?
my son is in the gala and the garden has to be "dressed up" he has chosen a braveheart theme but i am stumped! i need ideas
Hmm! This sounds fun! I don’t know much about gardening..but I loved Braveheart.
Since the movie took place in the hills of Scotland, that is pretty much the inspiration. I’d go with large boulder-size silvery rocks, a lot of green grass and large trees, and I can even imagine a handmade wooden 4 post canopy with big fluff square pillows and cream canvas hanging from it…adding wood, cloth, greenery, and maybe even some metal pieces (to duplicate the steel shields and swords) would be ideal. I hope this helps get the juices flowing!
In the movie Braveheart, Mel Gibson yells a battle cry that is something like Abla Kapla. What does it mean?
Also, what is the phrase?
A question that falls right into my bailiwick.
Wallace shouts "Alba gu bràth" which in Gaelic means "Scotland until judgment" or roughly "Scotland Forever". I am inclined to say that Sean Connery may have this tattooed on his arm?
Edit: That is Scottish Gaelic as opposed to Irish Gaelic
Does anyone think the movie braveheart is a true story or based on one?
Do you think braveheart is a truye story? I ask because I do think it’s true. Many have told me though that nothing has been found from that time period though so not many are sure.
There was a guy named William Wallace who was an important figure when the Scots were fighting against English rule. But I doubt that most of what happened in the movie is true. The big strokes were true, I’m sure, including Wallace’s death, but the rest was made up to make a good movie.
Anyone know where to find a Braveheart computer background?
It is the final scene with his sword and the landscape backdrop. Much appreciated
Google??? 0.O
Is there any scene in the movie Braveheart where it shows the upper class British people dining?
Just wondering what the movie shows the upper class British people (king and nobles) are eating, if the movie does show this.
Not that I remember…I think they sit around a table having a meeting at one point, but aren’t dining. Also, this may have been for the Irish side.
If Braveheart is real why don’t the modern Scots kick the Brits out of their country?
I don’t even think that Scots and Brits are even the same ethnicity. Everyone hates the Brits so why doesn’t Scotland give its southern neighbors a good kicking?
Scotland is part of the island of Great Britain.
It is part of the country called United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Scottish people are British citizens.
You are a troll. I see my response to your last trolling question was reported.
Post this crap again and I’ll report YOU. Clear?

Why isn’t Braveheart considered one the best movies ever?
I have seen A LOT of movies and nothing seems to top Braveheart. I recently got this movie as a gift and I have seen it about 3 times within the last week and a half. I have never been able to do this with any other movie without getting sick of it. I just can’t get enough of this movie. Dont you think it should be at the least in the top 5 of all time?
LOL you guys are right about Mel Gibson. That’s unfortunate because those who dislike him are missing out on such a great movie.
It won the best picture Oscar, so it is one of the best movies ever. I think it may not get quite the credit it deserves though because Mel Gibson has become so unpopular.
