    You were right about William starting a war because of his love for his late wife & freedom. You were half-correct of the fainting of the English prince upon meeting/confronting his father. Your guess on Robert being the cavalier accompanying the English king in the field was true. And you were on point on William getting betrayed & ambushed at the end.

    You said "Nice. Great respect."
    But that's the point, isn't it.
    They 'quartered' him by tearing him apart and sending parts of his body all over the land.
    Why?
    Specifically to disrespect him and to make him seem small and weak in the eyes of his own followers and the eyes of the citizens of England.
    Also to show everybody what happens when you stand against the king of England.
    Of course there was no respect.
    It was designed to be as disrespectful as possible.

    Longshanks mother was a French countess and he was, in addition to being King of England, the Duke of Aquitaine, so he was also technically a vassal of the French crown. While his son’s wife, Isabella, was the daughter of the King of France, Longshanks would not have been without influence in the French court.

    ~Edit: No horses were harmed making the movie. They used fake/machine horses where they were going to be injured. Also, the movie is fairly historically accurate in detail, while also condensing about 50years of history & jumbling a few things around. Yes, Wallace was castrated at the end, along with his other limbs being removed.

    Warhorses of the era were quite formidable, they would bite, kick, spin and trample in close-quarters providing a stable base for riders to swing and chop with their weapons whilst keeping the enemy at bay and inflicting casualties.
    It's not the horses fault, but they're essentially an enemy soldier. They can't simply remove the rider and leave the horse alive, it's going to continue fighting regardless of the man on its back.
    P.S. Live horses weren't used in the action scenes. An animal rights group pushed production thinking horses were being harmed, only to realise that fake horses powered by CO2 (not entirely sure of the gas) canisters. No horseys harmed during filming!

    A rack is a torture machine designed to pull arms and legs away from the body so that the major joints all dislocate.
    Using a device like that would make it hard for the crowd to see and enjoy the show, so they're just doing the same thing with ropes - wouldn't want to displease the crowd; they need 5-star reviews!
    Wallace is about to have his shoulders and maybe hips dislocated, maybe other joints like elbows and knees too.
    It's excruciating and it cripples people for life - anybody 'racked' but not killed will never heal fully and will always have difficulty using his arms and legs.

    I think we know the answer to whether she is a lover or fighter. 20:44 Steven is my favorite side-character. He just had fun, wanted to kill the English and became a great friend.

    Forget what the naysayers say. They all hate Mel Gibson. Braveheart is one of the greatest, most timeless and effective movies ever made. I dare say Braveheart is the greatest medieval war movie ever made

    51:14 "I wonder if he has contact lenses because these are -- are _creepy_ blue." No, Mel Gibson's eyes are a pretty strong blue -- but it wouldn't surprise me if they boosted the saturation of the film, making all the blues slightly less dull and more colorful.

    54:05 "If it was up to me, I would _kill_ the Bruce. And I would kill _this_ guy, _second."_
    Cut the Bruce a little slack. I mean, it's true, in battle he betrayed Wallace's hopes and dreams, but then he had a change of heart and saved his _life._ Wallace is _alive_ because of him.

    19:25 "What the hell did the horse do?"
    Nothing.
    Or a better answer was that the horse had an enemy on its back.
    In the age of axes and swords, a man on a horse was more dangerous than five men on the ground.
    The horse gave him mobility, leverage, power, and speed, and horses could trample men on the ground.
    It's a huge advantage.
    Trained foot-soldiers knew that the best way, the only way, to get a fair fight against a man on a horse was to get him off the horse.
    Trying to fight the man up there AND making an effort to keep the horse alive and uninjured was almost certain suicide.
    The best way to get him off the horse was to just kill the horse.
    This was definitely unfortunate for horses because it made them targets.

    31:32 "You know what I like most about, like, these _period_ movies, and series, and whatever? They always show of how big of an importance religion has always played."
    Well now, don't be misled by the _literary_ license in this movie. It's true, the events revolve around people who really _existed_ at one point, but there are _also_ a number of details they just got plain _wrong._ Collider com refers to it as, "A master lesson on bollocks filmmaking."
    For one example, "Braveheart" was the nickname given to Robert the _Bruce,_ not William _Wallace._ For another, Wallace was the son of a minor _nobleman,_ not a _commoner._ That nobleman was still _alive_ when Wallace was grown.
    This film is set in the early _14th_ century, but it shows the Scots wearing kilts and belted _plaid;_ a practice they did not adopt until the _16th_ century.
    Queen Isabella of France would've actually been about three years old, and still in _France_ at this point in history; not the grown woman the _movie_ makes her out to be.
    There are _many_ historical inaccuracies in this movie, but one fairly _subtle_ example is that every clash between the English and the Scots takes place between two opposing groups of _Christians._ They said that Edward the Longshanks was a _Pagan._ That just wasn't _true._
    Contrary to the popular wisdom, teaching two groups of people the same religion tends to do a lot more to set them at _odds_ than to bring them _together._

    58:57 Normally when you execute someone by hanging, they fall a short distance before the noose brings them up short . This sudden stop causes the neck to break and the person to die. However, without that powerful yank, death is more gradual by suffocation. That's why they lifted him gradually here: so he would begin to suffocate, but not die before they proceeded to the next torture.

    A very good film but not historically accurate. William Wallace never had children and piers Gaviston was executed and not thrown out the window

    the king's son actually ruled for about 20 years. so i guess the princess failed. she did outlive him for about 30 years tho. she was also much younger when she married him, about 12/13 years old, while he was 24.

    I would never start a war over a woman...
    I would instead move in and destroy the enemy so damn fast, there would not be time for a war.

    "Groundhog Day" (1993) would be the perect movie to watch on Valentine's Day, but Ilike Braveheart much more so I'm glad you did chose this one for your great reaction.
