Great film. When I was a boy my father told me the story of Robert the Bruce taking courage from watching the spider fail six time to land its web and then succeeding on the seventh try. Today I am in my ninth decade and we have the same fight for freedom in America against an enemy that has stealthily infiltrated us. I believe we will succeed.
If you’re Godfearing sir; I believe we’re going to be mercilessly persecuted in His name…soon. Our world is almost a complete cesspool because of His adversary. God bless you and keep you and your loved ones. In Jesus’ precious Name, Amen.
Great movie! For those who remember Braveheart from 1995 Robert the Bruce in that film is the SAME actor as Robert The Bruce in this film. Super neat to see the actor come back and reprise his role!
I watched William Wallace back then and believe Scotland is one of the best countries to live in or visit. I was there for about two & half years. This new movie, Robert the Bruce, reminds me of the Highlands and the mountains that I lived in while in Aberdeen, Scotland. The people are really pleasant and sociable.
But unlike Braveheart told, Robert the Bruce never betrayed William Wallace. It was strictly an adaptation for Hollyweird to make the film more than it actually was.
While fighting the cancer, my dad told me, his best time was a holiday in Scotland. After his death, I also went to this country. I will never forget those days, it was beautiful and magic. Now I am getting old, but I will ever love this country, the people and the tragic history. I hope, some day one of my daughters will share this experience with her father and her grandfather.
So the actor that played Robert the Bruce is Angus Macfadyen, the same actor who played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart in 1995, pretty wild how he played the same historical figure twice in two movies that were made 24 years apart
This seemed to me a sequel. Though very weak if actually tied to Braveheart. Kind of like avatar two both have a bunch of women and children fighting. 😂
As an America from Idaho my ancestry is traced back to Scotland through the Buttar family who were among the first Pioneers to settle in the lands I still live in to this day. Long live Scotland! And may America find the strength to free itself from the tyrants who are currently destroying it!
Indeed-I pray everyday we can stop those who are trying to march our country straight into authoritarianism! "We The People" means everyone, and our freedoms and rights belong to every American equally, and that's without race, religion and etc. as a consideration!
OUTSTANDING casting, acting, location, cinematography and story-telling. This movie is great. It tells a kind of human story that history books often ignore. The tale of the spider is well incorporated into the larger story. Fun fact: The Douglas coat of arms features the heart of the Bruce. They are my family, my clan. I raise my glass of highland single malt to my ancestors, their nation, and those who made this film, and can only wish that I may prove myself as worthy.
I cried my eyes out. This is not the movie you think it’s going to be but it was wonderfully produced and gives us another perspective of this time in history.
What a wonderful movie! I've always been fascinated with the Scottish people. The land is so beautiful. I want to see it myself. This was well done and I'll be watching it again. The one thing that rang throughout this true tale was the cry for freedom. The deep intense desire for freedom. It's our God given right. It's part of our DNA. The things people will do for it are astonishing and beautiful. And painful. Freedom is not free! We're now being shown great evil across the land. We have to fight wherever God leads us. May He bless us all.❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I have always had a great respect and fascination for Scotland and it's history as a latino i believe that every country deserves to be free and independent and that is how it should be. Excellent movie❗️
COURAGE SHAKES THE TREE OF FREEDOM, AND THE BLOOD RAINS FROM THE FIERY SKY AND PURIFIES THE HEART AND PROPELS THE SOUL TO WIELD THE SWORD OF TRUTH! GREAT MOVIE! ANGUS WAS AWESOME!
@@omgorangelollipop8184 I'm sorry to hear that. Longshanks was not a hero like the Bruce or William Wallace was. Freedom from English oppression has always been the goal of Scots, Irish, Indian, and Americans.
Great writing and great film craft all around. ❤ My favorite line is just as true today, “The sharpest sword in the world, wasted and on the dullest mind in the valley.”
Brilliant film, the atmosphere of the coldness and bleakness of mountains and hillsides, with the sound of snow beneath their feet. With the added fight for survival on both sides of war and the everyday struggle to survive as a family. The Actors played their parts so well that I felt drawn into the film as though i was literally there myself. Very well done
As I sit here in the company of my Grandma who turns 90 this month, you words resonate with exceptional truth. The infiltration goes over the heads of most, but clearly your years have been filled with accumulating wisdom.
I'm a Filipino & I don't know how many times I've watched Braveheart & this is the first time I've seen this movie. I like true to life stories. Scotland & Philippines share the same struggles in the past. Our ancestors fought for our freedom thrice against Spain, then against Japan and then the US. Long live Scotland! Mabuhay Philippines!
Braveheart was a fictional movie far from the truth. the only thing that was true was that William Wallace was a real person and he died and quartered at the hands of the English
I’m a direct descendant of Sir William Ramsay,who fought alongside Bruce at Bannockburn and also signed the declaration of Arbroath. Im American, and am proud to be, but I’m also proud of my Scottish heritage.

Living in Yorkshire England I read so many stories of Robert the Bruce fell in love with the stories of his life. Thanks for posting this movie. Loved it.
Were you born in England Barb? I've always wanted to visit England, it's beautiful from what I've seen of it in pictures & movies, I'm stuck here in Kentucky right now though👍✌️
In the make believe stories from film studios maybe. They were more concerned about killing each other and supported anyone that gave them the ability to get one up on other clans. Robert the Bruce, was not actually 'the Bruce' because his father was still alive and clan chief, also he had very little support from most of the clans, and only won because of the politics, infighting and weakness of the English monachy at the time of Bannockburn. Remember that Robert the Bruce and his clan changed sides on William Wallace and supported the English, which led to Wallace's capture and death, just for the promise of more land in England, support by the english verses a number of other clans, and support for them getting the crown of Scotland. He cared nothing about Scottish independence but rather clan dominance, land and wealth.
Loved this. Surprising how good this was. I’m saving a bunch of free films to watch…and so far…as someone who’s in the business…I’ve been shocked how good these films have been. None of them had I even heard of. Bravo to everyone involved. And thanks for posting.
Just got home from meetings in hamburg . Tube and bus . Just like back home. Thinking about what to cook, what to watch , then ! This said hello . I rented this movie a couple of years back. And you have made a normal Monday evening into something a bit special. Don’t know how you did it. But i am very grateful
❤️❤️❤️ I am descended from the Keith Clan And with t3ars in my eyes, pride in my heart and my fist in the air....i found nyself yelling BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE!!!!! Long Live Scotland
Im from the Bruce clan, but only from a cousin of this fellow (assuming he is the same as called Bruce the Red? So far back, must be millions of us now 😂)
Amazing film. What a pleasure to watch this. Hidden gem. Don’t know much of my Scottish heritage but this helps me understand the continuing fight for independence the modern day Scottish citizen has. ❤
It shouldn't because if you believe this film reflects real history you are very ignorant.....other than getting the name partially right, that is about it. If you really want to know the truth read books, not watch 2 hours of structured audience fodder.
Eh mmm, Aye, But, My fathers line was with bruce , and ehhh Grrrr bruce and my fathers line came from Normandy, via England, But grrrr dont you tell anybody, ok OK!,
I really enjoyed this movie. They say... "It Was Written". You can't escape destiny. Great cinematography, script and music score. Great acting as well. There is a great song - the last - as the credits scroll - "Kiss the Blessed Air of Freedom". I was unable to locate it.
I'm glad I watched this I had seen William Wallace a few times and often wondered what happened to Robert The Bruce. I heard that he was king and did free Scotland but now I know how and am proud of him especially because of how his father treated him. If that part was true in the Wallace movie. I did also like the story of the spider it's so true. Loved this flick I think it was well acted and filmed. It's a film I will probably watch again. I love people like this. I am an American. Here's a big hat tip to Scotland. May you stay forever free and in peace!!! ❤✌️
great movie! so touching and heart felt...really made me feel the medieval times and brought it to life for me and the individual struggles of each nation to have their own freedom
Spiritual warfare, lets use our up to date lasers-why hide them?.. then use the old fashion formation like back in Crusades / Braveheart and with swords/knives, tanks, catapults, missiles etc. I do not understand how much ego a country has to make a hi-tech weaponry to the point where war is just lifeless, soulless people being zombies, and robots taking over yet deaths are increased due to lack of energy, enlightenment, food distributed(from greed and not bad tactical drawings). This war is spiritual or invisible and will have 'angels and devils' possessions with physical stare kingdoms in the flesh in this world. Fight hard or be a sitting duck to serve your enemies never understanding how it is an insult after the power.There will NEVER be peace, always war..repetitive war...musical chairs it seems for many centuries it seems. We can not even get insulted by a tech guy in India trying to brag how smart he is when his country has 4 rows outside on top of the train dangerously. Also, how the USA forgets their loved ones and chooses greed while letting enemies "run their army" because USA doesn't have enough faith to believe in "possession of souls" from the Middle East, then so be it. Live life, appreciate value on whats left or once existed then flick everyone off and say 'One throne world, lets die in vain from.stupidity' ... Amen
Sorry but a bit of a contradiction.....this movie is so far from history and actual facts it is frightening. What traditions were represented in the film?
This is one of my favorite movies from this genre... The fact that he is the same actor who played 'Robert the Bruce' in Braveheart is the icing on the cake for me!! ❤❤
Richard Harris was one of my favorite actors of all time; his range was without limits. (His performance as English Bob in "Unforgiven" alone is a show in itself.) But his son, Jared Harris, is mesmerizing; he brings authenticity to every performance.
God Bless what a powerful testament. Although this timepiece follows that of Braveheart, Robert the Bruce is so much more ancient, in all the right ways.
Great film. How good to see Angus Macfadyen co-write this film and reprise his role as Robert the Bruce as he did in "Braveheart". I guess he perfectly fits the persona of the Bruce.
My Great Grandfather was a young Bruce lad who immigrated down here to New Zealand after fighting through France in WW1 making it back home to Scotland and married a young Maori girl from Christchurch in the South Island, they had my Grandfather, another Bruce lad, who then had my Father, another Bruce lad, who then had me... I was actually given by my father an amazing original black and white photo of my Great Grandfather with all of his mates taken in Christchurch of the Scottish Pipes and Drums 1923, amazing looking guys who made it through the trenches of The Great War, it's pretty cool... New Zealand has a strong Scottish history.
I too am from the NZ ,Bruce clan. ,mothers side , Duncan Donald Bruce , sailed his own ship from Scotland, to New Zealand, 1800,s,am the 6th gen of him ,
I love hearing how many people have commented about being descendants from back in that era and theirs loads of links to people going back generations it's fascinating ❤
Look up my last name and it's different spelling the original being LOUDOUN. Look up who William Wallace's grand mother was. A hill that a famous battle was fought at. I have my family tree back to 1601. My name was first recorded in 1160. Look up who the Campbell clan is and them being of my clan.
I only recently found out doing my ancestry that this amazing man is my ancestral 22nd great grand father , now I understand where I get my endurance , stoichcal strength from and my ability to never give up when all appears to be lost , RIP amazing ancestor
I’m no Scot but somehow after watching this movie I feel more Scottish. 😅 Scotland never did my bloodline any wrong so my blessings to Scotland and all Scottish families in the World. 💯🫵🏼👍🏼🫡👊🏼✌🏼🇳🇱
Wonderful movie. Many of my ancestors were only beginning to build their castles around 1200-1300. Not long before the Black Plague would strike its terrible end.
The freedom and independence of today were fought to the last breath of our fathers before. Every drop of their blood went down to it for our prosperity. Freedom is one word with a plethora of consequences. It is good; it is bad; it is ugly. I am uncertain of what we are living in today.
Fascinating bit of little-known history, at least to anyone who is not familiar with the Scottish war of independence. For those of you who are, it's certainly a different take on the events, particularly if you thought that Bruce murdered Comyn without provocation.
Spiritual warfare, lets use our up to date lasers-why hide them?.. then use the old fashion formation like back in Crusades / Braveheart and with swords/knives, tanks, catapults, missiles etc. I do not understand how much ego a country has to make a hi-tech weaponry to the point where war is just lifeless, soulless people being zombies, and robots taking over yet deaths are increased due to lack of energy, enlightenment, food distributed(from greed and not bad tactical drawings).

Angus MacFadyen...very good film. Ay...very good. Maybe some will decide the Country worth uniting and dying for. I doubt it. It empties my heart. Edit-people nitpicking the movie didn't enjoy it. Too bad.
You may take my LIFE but NOT my Freeeedddddemmmmm!!!! Scotlands history is truly fascinating it's like you can smell the history in the walls of Edinburgh Castle and surrounding areas Arthurs Seat is really cool to make sure you go into Princess Street I. Edinburgh, leith is beautiful also. Amazing places in the island.
Very Great Movie👍👍👍 It makes me think and wonder for those that gave there's Life's 1st To start this Nation a Free Nation, I Pray to GOD that it one day not only be a Free Nation/World Free from Sin, but a True Nation/World for GOD'S Own Heart!!!!
A free nation indeed.....one that perpetrated the longest and most brutal slave trade in the history of the world. 40 million Africans murdered, many more forced to work for no pay under brutal conditions, punished for trying to educate themselves.
i honour you scots fighting with honour and courage i love Scotland and I'm British i hate what the British did to Scottish people. god bless william wallice and robert the bruce i goto say i enjoyed watching this
If you have not seen it...Black Sails....Captain Charles Vane played by the same guy that played the brother in Law that wanted the 50 pieces of gold for the king. His name is Jack McGowan. His acting in Black Sails series is superb.
Remember, Bruce also fought against Wallace. Just as Scottish lords jumped from one side to another depending on what was in it for them at the time. Scottish lords had as much land in 'England' as they had in 'Scotland'
As someone who was born and raised in England, I have visited and walked Scotland many times, watched the films and documentaries, read books about these heroes, and seen the statue of King Robert the Bruce and Braveheart. I've watched the British politics surrounding the independent wishes of Scottish Parliament and its country, and my only wish is that one day Scotland will have its independence. They just need to keep fighting for their freedom.
Great piece of history's accounting and glad to see the Brits once again were pushed out of a foreign land. Thank you for the upload, sure like history's pages like this one.
Great job does not cover it. No words do. Loved it when he was training the boy with a sward he told him not to let his anger do the fighting. Rage devours reason. Good fighting needs your reasoning in control and using the energy of controlled anger. That is Both in physical and verbal sparing.
A great film that tells as much of the story as it leaves out including Robert's Viking roots, albeit a slight nod when he exclaims that he's not going to Norway, but no mention made of where he actually did go.... Ireland. Other films celebrate the Knights Templar involvement in the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, but I like the way they were left completely silent with only a mysterious hint about France being the likely source of the "sharpest sword in the world". The Bruce never owned a castle? Surely he took control of many lands and castle alike and bargained them away to gain support and raise that invisible army everyone was praying for.. A secret mercenary army procured by one of his most powerful allies, the Church... no offense to the fierce and brave men AND women of Scotland, after all, the Romans couldnt defeat them and had to build an enormous wall to protect themselves, but after 30 years of war with England, the Scots were simply outnumbered. This could not stop the fighting spirit of the Scottish clans from winning their independence, and their legend lives on.
Robert the Bruce was born in Scotland as was his mother, his father or grandfather arrived with William Duke of Normandy and destroyed the English in 1066, a lot of Nobles arrived in Scotland appears William Duke of Normandy loved the way the Scots and Picts fought against the Romans and Anglo Saxons as did Charlemagne the Holy Roman Emperor in the 6th century.
I enjoyed this movie and learning more history of Scotland. I visited Scotland this past April 2023. Beautiful country. I will be visiting my ancestral home again. My DNA says that I am 48% Scottish. 13% on my fathers side and 35% on my mothers side. My Great-Grandmother was a Graham. We are direct decendants of Bonnie Dundee, Vise-count John Graham.
BS your DNA says no such thing. The genotypes are so mixed with different people that lived in Britain through out various invasions and migrations over the millenium. It certainly cannot state that you are 13% and 35%.....what idiocy and spectacular stupidity to actually believe such crap. 100% ignorant of how DNA works.
Very interesting for fans of Braveheart. There are some inaccuracies of course, for example, the family praying like Protestants, but there were no Protestants back then. It would be correct for them to do the sign of the cross at the beginning and end of the meal prayer.
My family were from Edinburgh. The Scottish people had it tough from the English for many many many centuries they fought hard For freedom.They are very tough people they also had to fight the Vikings.That’s why President Trump is such a fighter because he is a Scotsman man God bless Scotland and America.
👏 BETTER THAN BRAVEHEART. Love the "Stillness and Quiet" in this film. Poor sword fighting. The handles never used close contact where appropriate.😡 "my name is angus of the clan McDonald and by the authority granted by Ronald I give you BURGERS to feast on!"😂

Make 10 decades good sir! That's an order not a request!😊
Vote Trump, it was the demoncrats that have pit us in this place. MAGA TRUMP 25. Modern day, Bruce.
I hope we will succeed but the stealthy enemy has embedded itself quite deep. The best way to win is with education and not giving up our rights.
If you’re Godfearing sir; I believe we’re going to be mercilessly persecuted in His name…soon. Our world is almost a complete cesspool because of His adversary. God bless you and keep you and your loved ones. In Jesus’ precious Name, Amen.

It shouldn't because if you believe this film reflects real history you are very ignorant.....other than getting the name partially right, that is about it. If you really want to know the truth read books, not watch 2 hours of structured audience fodder.
Great film. Thank you for showing! I am English, but I would have given my loyalty to the Bruce.
Yea I agree. Great leaders tend to have that effect on people.
Eh mmm, Aye, But,
My fathers line was with bruce , and ehhh
Grrrr bruce and my fathers line came from Normandy, via England,
But grrrr dont you tell anybody, ok OK!,
me too !!!
I really enjoyed this movie.
They say... "It Was Written". You can't escape destiny.
Great cinematography, script and music score. Great acting as well.
There is a great song - the last - as the credits scroll - "Kiss the Blessed Air of Freedom". I was unable to locate it.
I'm glad I watched this I had seen William Wallace a few times and often wondered what happened to Robert The Bruce. I heard that he was king and did free Scotland but now I know how and am proud of him especially because of how his father treated him. If that part was true in the Wallace movie. I did also like the story of the spider it's so true. Loved this flick I think it was well acted and filmed. It's a film I will probably watch again. I love people like this. I am an American. Here's a big hat tip to Scotland. May you stay forever free and in peace!!! ❤✌️
It was filmed in Montana 😊
😅Wallace and the Bruce did meet. He was disgusted by the flailing of the skin. It's good that I only stay 3miles from his grave
Great movie,thanks, fear often brings forth the courage needed to do what must be done.
Brilliant movie, great storyline and fine actors & acting, directing, production and music. Thanks ❤
great movie! so touching and heart felt...really made me feel the medieval times and brought it to life for me and the individual struggles of each nation to have their own freedom
Spiritual warfare, lets use our up to date lasers-why hide them?.. then use the old fashion formation like back in Crusades / Braveheart and with swords/knives, tanks, catapults, missiles etc. I do not understand how much ego a country has to make a hi-tech weaponry to the point where war is just lifeless, soulless people being zombies, and robots taking over yet deaths are increased due to lack of energy, enlightenment, food distributed(from greed and not bad tactical drawings). This war is spiritual or invisible and will have 'angels and devils' possessions with physical stare kingdoms in the flesh in this world. Fight hard or be a sitting duck to serve your enemies never understanding how it is an insult after the power.There will NEVER be peace, always war..repetitive war...musical chairs it seems for many centuries it seems. We can not even get insulted by a tech guy in India trying to brag how smart he is when his country has 4 rows outside on top of the train dangerously. Also, how the USA forgets their loved ones and chooses greed while letting enemies "run their army" because USA doesn't have enough faith to believe in "possession of souls" from the Middle East, then so be it. Live life, appreciate value on whats left or once existed then flick everyone off and say 'One throne world, lets die in vain from.stupidity' ... Amen
I was wrong-I thought there was No way I'd enjoy this sequel to Braveheart. Liked it even more
Braveheart 😂😂😂 a load of Pish 😂Hollywood drivel 😊
Great moving film! Brought out my wee bit of Scottish blood on my maternal side! Thank you~
What a brilliant Movie. I love history and maybe that's why I love Scotland and its traditions.
Sorry but a bit of a contradiction.....this movie is so far from history and actual facts it is frightening. What traditions were represented in the film?
The brave people of Scotland used as motivation for so many freedom fighters around the world, god bless Scotland
This is one of my favorite movies from this genre...
The fact that he is the same actor who played 'Robert the Bruce' in Braveheart is the icing on the cake for me!! ❤❤
Richard Harris was one of my favorite actors of all time; his range was without limits. (His performance as English Bob in "Unforgiven" alone is a show in itself.)
But his son, Jared Harris, is mesmerizing; he brings authenticity to every performance.
He barely spoke in this movie but Robert the Bruce is so articulate he didn’t need words. Masterpiece
One of the best films I've ever seen.
Impressive acting. Seriously. The child actors are killing it! Dude, it felt real...
Great Film Robert the Bruce King of the Scotland!!!! 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️
@adamdaddesa7270 Actually, his title was King of the Scots. Not being pedantic, but it denotes quite a difference.
And then one of Bruce's successors inherited England and Scottish independence came to an end.
God Bless what a powerful testament. Although this timepiece follows that of Braveheart, Robert the Bruce is so much more ancient, in all the right ways.
Great film. How good to see Angus Macfadyen co-write this film and reprise his role as Robert the Bruce as he did in "Braveheart". I guess he perfectly fits the persona of the Bruce.
My Great Grandfather was a young Bruce lad who immigrated down here to New Zealand after fighting through France in WW1 making it back home to Scotland and married a young Maori girl from Christchurch in the South Island, they had my Grandfather, another Bruce lad, who then had my Father, another Bruce lad, who then had me...
I was actually given by my father an amazing original black and white photo of my Great Grandfather with all of his mates taken in Christchurch of the Scottish Pipes and Drums 1923, amazing looking guys who made it through the trenches of The Great War, it's pretty cool...
New Zealand has a strong Scottish history.
NZ born with Lyndsay Clan roots alongside Danish in Yorkshire and pre treaty NZ. Got zero time for the English crown.
I too am from the NZ ,Bruce clan. ,mothers side , Duncan Donald Bruce , sailed his own ship from Scotland, to New Zealand, 1800,s,am the 6th gen of him ,
@@duncanbarriball3039 We shud connect. Its 2024 in NZ and our people are still suffering.
Good movie, the actor playing Robert the Bruce also played Robert the Bruce in Brave heart.
I watched brave heart again and again and again and I knew that Bruce was enlightened to continue whst Wallas started great movie .
I love hearing how many people have commented about being descendants from back in that era and theirs loads of links to people going back generations it's fascinating ❤
Most of them are lying obviously
Look up my last name and it's different spelling the original being LOUDOUN. Look up who William Wallace's grand mother was. A hill that a famous battle was fought at. I have my family tree back to 1601. My name was first recorded in 1160. Look up who the Campbell clan is and them being of my clan.
I only recently found out doing my ancestry that this amazing man is my ancestral 22nd great grand father , now I understand where I get my endurance , stoichcal strength from and my ability to never give up when all appears to be lost , RIP amazing ancestor
Do yourself a huge favor and watch this great movie~ well worth your time!
I’m no Scot but somehow after watching this movie I feel more Scottish. 😅 Scotland never did my bloodline any wrong so my blessings to Scotland and all Scottish families in the World.
💯🫵🏼👍🏼🫡👊🏼✌🏼🇳🇱
Wonderful movie. Many of my ancestors were only beginning to build their castles around 1200-1300. Not long before the Black Plague would strike its terrible end.
Yes but this movie is the lamest one in the world because they built it piggyback off of the other one there's actually true. W mad max dude
Man, that was great. Scotland Forever!!!
Fantastic movie. So glad I took a chance and watched it!
The freedom and independence of today were fought to the last breath of our fathers before. Every drop of their blood went down to it for our prosperity. Freedom is one word with a plethora of consequences. It is good; it is bad; it is ugly. I am uncertain of what we are living in today.
I love that Angus Mc wrotes and starred...even if it was imagined in quite a few areas. Id watch it again.
The kid actor's were great.
After having watched Brave Heart is so wonderful to watch Robert the Bruce!
I don't understand why the boy died can you explain that to me
always be a great movie.who watch it with me 2024-11- 11 south african time❤
Me greetings from Canada 🇨🇦.
Great historical drama brilliantly cast and excellently played.
Fascinating bit of little-known history, at least to anyone who is not familiar with the Scottish war of independence. For those of you who are, it's certainly a different take on the events, particularly if you thought that Bruce murdered Comyn without provocation.
Spiritual warfare, lets use our up to date lasers-why hide them?.. then use the old fashion formation like back in Crusades / Braveheart and with swords/knives, tanks, catapults, missiles etc. I do not understand how much ego a country has to make a hi-tech weaponry to the point where war is just lifeless, soulless people being zombies, and robots taking over yet deaths are increased due to lack of energy, enlightenment, food distributed(from greed and not bad tactical drawings).

Academy award winning acting. Perhaps even better than Braveheart.
It really was outstanding. I don’t know how I missed this
I am an American by birth. But my ancestors are Scottish. Warrior blood runs thru my veins.
One of William Wallace’s brothers was my forebears. Freedom!
Angus MacFadyen...very good film. Ay...very good. Maybe some will decide the Country worth uniting and dying for. I doubt it. It empties my heart.
Edit-people nitpicking the movie didn't enjoy it. Too bad.
You may take my LIFE but NOT my Freeeedddddemmmmm!!!! Scotlands history is truly fascinating it's like you can smell the history in the walls of Edinburgh Castle and surrounding areas Arthurs Seat is really cool to make sure you go into Princess Street I. Edinburgh, leith is beautiful also. Amazing places in the island.
There must be a sequel LONG LIVE SCOTLAND 🏴!!!!!
Very Great Movie👍👍👍
It makes me think and wonder for those that gave there's Life's 1st To start this Nation a Free Nation, I Pray to GOD that it one day not only be a Free Nation/World Free from Sin, but a True Nation/World for GOD'S Own Heart!!!!
A free nation indeed.....one that perpetrated the longest and most brutal slave trade in the history of the world. 40 million Africans murdered, many more forced to work for no pay under brutal conditions, punished for trying to educate themselves.
🤩 For a free movie, that was phenomenal.
i honour you scots fighting with honour and courage i love Scotland and I'm British i hate what the British did to Scottish people. god bless william wallice and robert the bruce i goto say i enjoyed watching this
Holy shit is that Angus Macfadyen playing Robert the Bruce again?!
Yeah, this film is a sequel to Mel Gibson's Braveheart.
If you have not seen it...Black Sails....Captain Charles Vane played by the same guy that played the brother in Law that wanted the 50 pieces of gold for the king. His name is Jack McGowan.
His acting in Black Sails series is superb.
One of the best. Exquisite. God bless whosoever has uploaded this movie
Remember, Bruce also fought against Wallace. Just as Scottish lords jumped from one side to another depending on what was in it for them at the time. Scottish lords had as much land in 'England' as they had in 'Scotland'
As someone who was born and raised in England, I have visited and walked Scotland many times, watched the films and documentaries, read books about these heroes, and seen the statue of King Robert the Bruce and Braveheart. I've watched the British politics surrounding the independent wishes of Scottish Parliament and its country, and my only wish is that one day Scotland will have its independence. They just need to keep fighting for their freedom.
Great piece of history's accounting and glad to see the Brits once again were pushed out of a foreign land. Thank you for the upload, sure like history's pages like this one.
@JJM-qf8dz I think you mean the English, not the Brits.
Wow,a great movie
Wasn't sure what to expect,did not disappoint.
I have Scottish ancestry along with my Native American heritage and proud of my Scottish ancestors.
Verder nice, enjoyed it very much as braveheart is one of my favorite movies ever this one is almost if not as good as it. Thanks for uploading ❤
Very underrated actor in black sails
As a Bruce , very well done in every aspect.top marks.
Good movie. Would love to visit Scotland one day if the lord wills it.
Great job does not cover it. No words do. Loved it when he was training the boy with a sward he told him not to let his anger do the fighting. Rage devours reason. Good fighting needs your reasoning in control and using the energy of controlled anger. That is Both in physical and verbal sparing.
Best film I've seen in a long time. Thanks. As far as I'm aware there's no Scotish in my Family. Lovely part of the World though.
A great film that tells as much of the story as it leaves out including Robert's Viking roots, albeit a slight nod when he exclaims that he's not going to Norway, but no mention made of where he actually did go.... Ireland. Other films celebrate the Knights Templar involvement in the 1314 Battle of Bannockburn, but I like the way they were left completely silent with only a mysterious hint about France being the likely source of the "sharpest sword in the world". The Bruce never owned a castle? Surely he took control of many lands and castle alike and bargained them away to gain support and raise that invisible army everyone was praying for.. A secret mercenary army procured by one of his most powerful allies, the Church... no offense to the fierce and brave men AND women of Scotland, after all, the Romans couldnt defeat them and had to build an enormous wall to protect themselves, but after 30 years of war with England, the Scots were simply outnumbered. This could not stop the fighting spirit of the Scottish clans from winning their independence, and their legend lives on.
Robert the Bruce was born in Scotland as was his mother, his father or grandfather arrived with William Duke of Normandy and destroyed the English in 1066, a lot of Nobles arrived in Scotland appears William Duke of Normandy loved the way the Scots and Picts fought against the Romans and Anglo Saxons as did Charlemagne the Holy Roman Emperor in the 6th century.
Um ok, THAT was one of the BEST movies I’ve seen in years!!!!!!
This was a great movie!
I enjoyed this movie and learning more history of Scotland. I visited Scotland this past April 2023. Beautiful country. I will be visiting my ancestral home again.
My DNA says that I am 48% Scottish. 13% on my fathers side and 35% on my mothers side. My Great-Grandmother was a Graham. We are direct decendants of Bonnie Dundee, Vise-count John Graham.
BS your DNA says no such thing. The genotypes are so mixed with different people that lived in Britain through out various invasions and migrations over the millenium. It certainly cannot state that you are 13% and 35%.....what idiocy and spectacular stupidity to actually believe such crap. 100% ignorant of how DNA works.
Very interesting for fans of Braveheart. There are some inaccuracies of course, for example, the family praying like Protestants, but there were no Protestants back then. It would be correct for them to do the sign of the cross at the beginning and end of the meal prayer.
Beautiful movie ❤very brave history love it...❤ from republica dominicana ❤
My family were from Edinburgh. The Scottish people had it tough from the English for many many many centuries they fought hard For freedom.They are very tough people they also had to fight the Vikings.That’s why President Trump is such a fighter because he is a Scotsman man God bless Scotland and America.
Drumph- (German) and he's a traitor! No Scottish Blood in that parasite unless it was sucked out of a Scottish Codpiece!
Great movie tears were flowing as they chanted BRUCE BRUCE BRUCE
thanks for sharing this movie. i am a Phyfe via a Fife arriving at Ellis Island. i hope to be fortunate enough to visit ancestral land one day.
✌️🐝➕
I hope you're able to do that. One my friends, since I was a teenager just went to this beautiful country for a family reunion. She loved it.
Robert the Bruce picks up after Braveheart ends. Fantastic movie !!!!
Freedom, the greatest gift to man kind.
GREAT STORY
GREAT FILM
LONG LIVE FREEDOM
🙏💪👍
👏 BETTER THAN BRAVEHEART. Love the "Stillness and Quiet" in this film. Poor sword fighting. The handles never used close contact where appropriate.😡 "my name is angus of the clan McDonald and by the authority granted by Ronald I give you BURGERS to feast on!"😂
