Brave Heart

Droit de seigneur - the right of the lord.

So they gave each other cloths they had made each other. I know they were poor so no wedding rings..but was the cloth thing common in Scotland?

That was fabricated for the movie ………. get it?

what do you think of the movie braveheart. (im scottish)

its a good film,, its just ashame that they filmed braveheart in ireland due to the midgies lol

No issue with the historical significance or facts. The gruesome depictions during the battles, rape of Wallace’s wife & final slow death of himself are visually disturbing.

Why not? It is historic. Perhaps you feel the final slow killing of the hero is too graphic? Not really as the exact punishment is only left in your mind.

it may also be called Brave Heart. it is about a Scottish guy named William Wallace

i got it free on frost wire

Years ago on the TY they said gays hated the movie Brave heart. I have seen the movie and wanted to know what gays dislike about it?

Hmmm. Could it be that Edward II is portrayed as a villain because he’s gay, despite historical evidence to the contrary? Could it be because his father tosses his gay lover out a window to his death?

Nah, nothing anti-gay there. <end sarcasm>

after watching the movie last night, I bought the soundtrack and its been in my mind all day! every emotion and scene is carried beautifully by Horner’s soundtrack…i may be the only teenager that grades movies partially on how good their soundtracks are.

i want all the video songs of that movie..n also the concert videos of that troupe using brazilian instruments especially the celebration song..its not in youtube..can someone give me the links..

This isn’t a poll…

Mel Gibson is saying that his box office sensation from 1995 is bogus. It really is, but I find it odd that he is saying it after all this time.

Things that bothered me about the Movie:
1. William Wallace did not know or wear a Kilt. Tartan would have been even more alien in his world.
2. There was not one Great Highland Bagpipe played (would have been just after the Kilt age-but if kilts, why not GHB’s). Instead they used an Irish Ullien Pipe.
3. Mel’s William was portrayed as very educated, but not well off, living in a Shilling (small rural cottage). This happens in the current world, but in the 1300’s, this would a bizarre sight. The article said it best, he was from a privileged background. That would be like Bill Gates moving into a 900 sq ft Ranch Home in a nearly rural town far from much. A rich mental case might, but most want what they can afford.

Most of the others are covered in the article. It just goes to show Hollywood is a bad place for a contemporary education though cinema.
He said it at a Scottish convention. I heard they are 50-50. The traditionalist hate the story, taken as truth. The neo-nationalist love it, see it as a symbol of their need to separate from England.

I also did not know that white supremacist were so into the movie. He might be trying to distance himself from that movement after his little Jew explosion when he got pulled over from DUI.

There have been an article here in the internet about most inaccuate films before. So I already knew it before he admit it.

I missed all week in my class and they watched a movie and I have to still do the questions! Help me please! And i have 3 other questions

Why does Robert the Bruce admire the young upstart William Wallace?

What rhetoric does Wallace use to rally the fleeing Scottish army at Stirling?

and!

On what grounds does Wallace criticize the Scottish nobles?

Thank you in advance!
Robert the Bruce admires young Wallace’s passion and desire to change things. One of the elders comments that it’s easy to admire someone who is uncomprimising…or something like that.

Wallace tells the fleeing Scottish that they can run if they choose, and they will live, for awhile. But if they fight now, they’ll be fighting for Scotlands sons and daughters.

Wallace criticizes the Scottish nobles for comprimising I think and fighting amongst themselves over Longshank’s "scraps" (Meaning land, estate, hereditary title)
