- I finally watched Braveheart even if it came after a poll on my Patreon for a Valentine's day suggestion. Now I don t think this is a Valentine's Day movie but what do you think?

Do you consider this a Valentine''s Day movie ?
Do you consider Die Hart a Christmas movie? 😂 all a question of the viewer’s point 🤷🏼♂️
No but it’s a great movie
Kinda
Ah ah hope not 🤣
Not at all
„The Almighty tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked.“ 😂
"My ancestors would have been very proud of this impailment"!.. I about died from laughter.that's one of the best things I've ever heard!
Vlad the Impaler, For The Win.
Not the first time she's used that line. 😏
Perfect line for that! Great timing!!!
Yes. That was Priceless! 😆👍
Amazing!
“My ancestor would’ve been proud of that impalement” 😂😂😂 vlad likes that comment
I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard when you said your ancestors would have been proud! 🤣 I don’t know how many people actually got that, but that was awesome! I’ve been enthralled with Vlad III ever since I read Bram Stoker’s Dracula as a kid. Always wanted to visit Romania ever since.
Certainly got it...and it was Priceless! 😁👍
The part when the little girl presents him with a thistle - the Scottish emblem is a thistle. It has a deeper meaning.
Yes, at least two meanings. One is a child comforting another child. The other is she is handing over the responsibility to help Scotland.
I learned to love the pipes when I was 3, that was 62 years ago. I still love them. Amazing Grace brings tears to my eyes always. Scotland the Brave gets the blood flowing.
16:42, "maybe this is a Valentine's movie" - 18:45, "this is definitely not a Valentine's movie guys." 20:40, "my ancestors would have been very proud of that impalement," LOL. I absolutely can't get enough. You are just too smart, and cute, but that is exactly why I love watching your reactions. Your sense of humor is first-class, and you are definitely not squeamish, put it all together and it makes one hell of a combination. What I like best thou, is that in this era and time of vain and conceited you-tubers, you stay true to who you are, and always yourself, that's very admirable and impressive, kudos to you Bisscit.
This truly is the Simp Age.
@@cockoffgewgle4993Dude would make his wife's kids homeless for a quarter of an ounce of roast beef.
😂
“They can take our lives but they'll never take our Freeeeedom!!!!” ...rings just as true as ever
This movie won 5 Oscars.
If the film had come out for the 95 Oscars it would have been up v Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, and the Lion King. Instead it was Braveheart or Babe.
Even with the lack of historical accuracy, as a proud Scotsman this evokes emotion deep inside me every time I watch.
For a wee nation of mad, mental alcoholic s'tnuc, we've done fucking well for ourselves.
Thanks again for your reaction, appreciated lass.
Cheers from Scotland 🍻✌❤
I thought Mel Gibson had a Wallace descendent to assist with the accuracy of the William Wallace story? Or at least that's what I remember from back when this was released
@@ctakitimu The inaccuracies are way into double figures.
Some with Wallace himself, even his Wife's name, but many more, Sir Robert's betrayal of Wallace, The Battle of Stirling Bridge, without the bridge, Isabelle of France was 10 years old when Wallace died to name just a few.
Gibson said it was 'historical fantasy' so it's not a criticism as I think it's great.
@@pauldryburgh6346 I guess it can't be classed as inaccurate then if it's fantasy. I really hated Robert the Bruce after seeing this film back in the day. Such a good film! Mel's a great actor (or at least he was), New York must be proud of him. Pretty sure he was born there
@@ctakitimu The film was written by Randall Wallace, an American who was inspired to write it when he visited over here to learn of his ancestral roots.
Many attribute the term Braveheart to Sir Robert The Bruce and not Sir William but they are both patriots who instill pride.
@@pauldryburgh6346 But Robert the Bruce was a coward! I saw it in the Braveheart biopic - Or at least that was what I thought for a good many years
You're very intelligent. All the languages and understanding of the differences between cultures and times periods. It's refreshing
I really enjoyed this reaction, Madalina. I used to love this film as a teenager. Also, loved the Vlad reference you made about your ancestor! So funny, I almost spat my coffee out!
Love from New Zealand
Wow. You were the only one I've ever come across who figured out the knight protecting Longshanks was Bruce! Very intelligent
I dunno about anyone else, but when the father tells young William he is needed to stay behind, that kid's face (at 3:21) really looks like a very young Mel Gibson. That gaze was spot-on.
"no man holds his own flesh & blood in hatred, and I am no exception.
I must go now and join my own people, the nation in which I was born.
Choose whether you will join me, or depart"
Robert the Bruce 🏴💙
'Patriotism is the virtue of the viscous'. Oscar Wilde.
That princess was a badass in her own right. She would eventually lead a revolt to over thrown her own husband and place her son on the throne. Backfired a bit when the son came of age and killed her lover and imprisoned her.
It was also through her lineage that her son started the Hundred Year's War.
"That is Bruce", wow what a great call on him being in the armor.
Love the sassiness, the rolled r’s, the wrinkled forehead, and the sense of humor! Hope your success is never ending!
I detest it. Her attitude stinks.
You have to be most intelligent and intuitive movie reviewer out there. I absolutely love your reactions.
Haven't watched this in forever Granted my VHS tapes got warped when moving 2 decades ago. Saw it in theaters the first time. Was pretty awesome.
~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.
I disagree, the movie is about 80% historically inaccurate. They don't even get the names of the battles right. Its a made for hollywood movie, its enjoyable but as a Scotsman who enjoys history the film is laughable at times.
A famous cowboy once said a Horse won't walk out of a burning barn they are that stupid.
Other "Valentines" 1980's movies you would enjoy is Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile. They fit in well with what we have all watched together so far.
Towards the end of the movie you asked what were they doing to him when Wallace was placed on the cross they were gutting him alive and pulling his innards out. Gruesome torture.
I thought they were castrating him. If he was having his innards pulled out. He would already be dead and not able to cry out.
@@stinkbug4321 they don't remove the heart or lungs to prolong the suffering... pulling the guts out does not kill a person right away, that's why he struggled to cry out
@@stinkbug4321 if you watch the performance by the jesters right before Wallace is brought out, you can see they are pretending to pull his guts out with a length of rope…
They castrated him first
A form of torture known as being hung, drawn and quartered. Hung to NEAR death, then disembowelled then the body cut into 4 pieces and the head separated. Typical dirty English scum behaviour.
“I understand the assignment”. I’m dying 😂
You asked who was our favorite “Side character”… Robert the Bruce ..what a transformation…and great acting
"My ancestor would have been very proud of that impalment."
💃🦇
A lot of the music was played on the Irish Uilleann pipes rather than the Scottish Bagpipes. They have a more mellow sound and are played sitting down
which parts specifically so i can listen?
Its so funny how she goes from super sweet and cute to full on blind vengeance lol
I have learned that Biscute is a ruthless battle commander.
A truly intimidating military strategist
22:17 That character is the Scottish warrior Campbell, played by Scottish actor James Copeland, whose stage name is James Cosmo.
The old man also played a Scottish warrior , who made sure Connor got free in the kick ass 30 year old movie, Highlander!
You are so refreshing to watch reacting to movies like this one. You are definitely a military strategist your brain is like a steel trap you got everything that was going on in this movie in the combat sequences you understood you reinforced it. The way this world is nowadays young lady whoever means anything to you pull them in close when the time calls for it cuz they're definitely going to need your expertise. I definitely really respect and enjoy and love your reactions. Thank you very much you have a good evening good day.
right? she has the mind of an strategist or at least the potential to it and its very refreshing to watch a woman with this mindset.
Your favorite side character was the same as mine. I can’t remember his name, but he was just very likable for how he raised his son, how he fought, and the example he set. I was exposed to these movies at a young age and their message resonated with me a lot of freedom and self development toward that end.
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.
46:39 My favorite "side character" is the Irishman: "The Lord tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked . . . Ha HA ha!" 😝
The wife guy, with the big scar on his face, has been a side character in many movies and TV series. He was also a side character, in Gladiator!
36:50 "Oh look, this one is of stone. This one is rich."
This one is the city of York.
It's a very major city in England, near the northern border with Scotland.
All those little wooden forts were just temporary military bases, built on foreign (Scottish) land, for small groups of British soldiers.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
"Start war for them!" Then that laugh...low 😊 Great Reaction!
Thank you so much ❤️
She saw how the old man fought and said, “This is my spirit animal” 🤣🤣🤣
Hei! Care-i treaba, Bisscute. Loved your reaction. I really enjoy your sense of humor and am always impressed by your detailed understanding of the plot and characters on your first time viewing. Your combination of thick Romanian accent and great English vocabulary is always surprising to me XD. Also, fantastic reference to Vlad Țepeș lol.
I'm a patron on Patreon and saw that you had Saving Private Ryan on a poll a few months ago. I highly recommend it and hope you put it on your list soon. Thanks for the great time!
"For the horses to come." I could tell you were trying to come up with the word "cavalry".
"Say something powerful." His reaction said all he needed to say.
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!
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. So here's your share of the winning bets that you had placed!
Thank you so much
@@BissFlix You're welcome~
I just now noticed that I forgot to add or mention the involvement of the french princess in aiding William in his endeavors due to falling in love with him & his noble cause, which of course you were correct about as well
"Oh you giving up? Oh that's soo sweet...kill them!" Love that one!
Great reaction. I wouldn't consider it a Valentines movie, it's a great story about love for persons and a love of country. Also really liked your little facts about history of stuff I didn't know.
Is it?
Not a great reaction at all.
I cant believe you speak all those languages. Was really impressed with that. I really enjoy your reactions, please keep them coming
I'm proud to have 1/5 of my blood representing Scotland! Freeeeedom!
William Wallace was driven by love for his wife, love for his country and love for eternal freedom. 💯
This is a Valentine´s movie and an every other day´s movie! ❤💥
25:49 _"We_ know what a tongue is for."
Aye. Rrrolling those Rrrr's.
I don't know how you did it but you actualy made it funny.That joke about your ancestors made me spit coffee all over the pc screen 😂
18:45 "This is _definitely_ not a Valentine's Day movie, guys."
Ah. This was your sentiment after they had barely scratched the _surface_ of how dark and disturbing people can be.
Mel's main producer of his True story war movies such as hacksaw Ridge or once we were soldiers, his last name is Wallace, a descendant of William!😮😮😮. Another good true type story of the Scottish and English, is Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson!😮😮😮
20:38 "My ancestor would have been very proud of that impalement." Me: (on the floor unable to breathe)
Not my first choice for a Valentine's Day movie but good one still. Loved your reaction. Bright and insightfull.
Hello dear Bisscute 🙂i wouldn't call it this epic cinematic picture a Valentine's day movie , i would name it like romantic and tragic story during very very old times of Scotland. Mel Gibson is my favorite action movie star and this movie made him so popular , that brought to him his first oscar for directing braveheart , beautiful movie , amazing cast , dear Bisscute your reactions to legendary movies are getting and better 🙂if one day you will be in Scotland , Edinburgh and will have a chance to ride a horse , paint your beautiful face half blue like William Wallace and say this famous line while riding a horse in a full speed - they might take our lives , but they will never take our freeeedom. Thank you for this emotional and beautifu movie reaction l dear Bisscute 🙂, since you dived in into ancient times , please make a reaction to ancient Greece movie called Troy , you will love it very much ❤
My favorite side character was Steven, you and he both have the best laugh, can't stop smiling
i liked your comment on your your ancestor Vlad. Transylvania was my favorite part of my Romanian vacation. the mountain views were amazing
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.
My ancestors would be proud of that impalement,I liked that,You sounds like a Warrior princess..
59:10 "I don't know what 'rack' means."
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 find it ironic that Longshanks sits and debates who to send when, actually the best candidate he just threw out a window because they didn't show impropriety.
48:10 "Say a line like 'you betrayed your country' etc."
Nope.
Mel Gibson sold this moment, perhaps the most powerful moment in the movie, with stunned silence and a look of hopeless betrayal on his face.
No words could top that.
Gibson is not really hailed as a great actor, but this moment, in this scene, his silence and the look on his face is more powerful than a thousand pithy words.
3 Ireland, 3 Scotland and 3 all countries who's people do not have self determination.
RIP to all the martyrs who fought for it.
Not only is this Biss an excellent reactor and polyglot but if she murders you, she’ll still look after your pets afterwards
"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.
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.
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.
Crazy Irishman is definitely my favorite side character.
Every girl who watches Braveheart: "Noooo! Not the horses"
When I was in the military traveling all the time, I could hold conversions I'm german, Swedish, Norwegian, Ukrainian, Turkish. And Japanese. Sadly, I haven't been around enough people speaking any of them for so long I can barely do anything but german anymore. The Latin based languages just confuse me. At least 15 years ago they did. Everything else came fairly easily.
If you watch this you have to see gladiator with Russell crow. I cry every time I see her and him the flower 🌼
"...my ancestors would have been very proud of that impalement..." 😍
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.
RAWR!
I can not find you doing a reaction to ' The Thing ' your sarcasm and quick wit plus your beautiful accent plus the sound of terror will have me laughing for day's.x Cheer's Gorgeous 🇬🇧. Edit: everybody love's the dog, until?? No spoilers here!
You need to watch "Hannibal" TV series, it's an unforgettable experience.
"I feel these are the party poopers coming on horses"
LOL!!! Yeah, party poopers riding on actual poopers! Watch where you step! 😀
An account from a hand written book written by John Blair, who was Wallace's close friend as read by 'Blind Harry' said it was Edward I'd second wife, Margaret of France who was sent to meet and negotiate with Wallace.
They were in the account claimed to be very attracted to each other and consummated their attraction.
20:44
-Aaahh! You given up! Ahh that's sooo sweet! KILL THEM!
I died in my chair! 🤣 Best reaction ever!
Love watching your videos. You're really smart and that makes your videos very entertaining.
I loved your reaction to this film.. hillarious, insightful and smart . You a very cool person. Happy I subbed
This was a terrible reaction
Im from scotland and live near all these battlefields my picture is a monument dedicated to william wallace it is the home to where his sword is kept
There was a time when Mel Gibson was one of the biggest movie stars, even once considered for the role of 'James Bond'... His performance in the movie 'The man without a face' was so powerful... He was an action movie star in 4 'Lethal Weapon' movies w/ Danny Glover... One of my faves was 'Payback'... Then, the original 'Mad Max'... He did 1 movie that was a good Valentine's day movie - 'Forever young'...
Things went bad for Mel Gibson in later years when he went through a bad divorce, and then was caught on tape ranting and raving racist epithets against Jews and black people... Even actress/ TV personality Whoopi Goldberg was shocked by his tirade, knowing him personally... Gibson tried to do damage control, but then an ex- gf released a taped conversation where Gibson was hurling vicious racist and violent insults at her for their breakup... Mel Gibson's career crashed as a result.
He still got some movie roles as a supporting character, but his lead role status has been mostly ignored.
Great man ruined for no good reason. One of many.
@@unclebounce1495 Not really... expect consequences for being an arse.
@@sumonjamal1653 Only an arse holds others to standards they don't hold themselves. If you think it's right for a person to suffer for cursing during a heated argument or while drunk, you're a completely hypocritical selfish mor0n. Anti-Free Speech Mor0ns like you are the bane of humanity. You either believe it or you don't. You don't get to say "it applies to you (or the government) and not to me." You clearly don't believe in free expression. "He dared say something offensive about the protected elitist class", so he deserves to lose everything. Pathetic and deluded.
@@unclebounce1495 U see what u said just there?
U defended the indefensible.
Remember, the Germans had "free speech" too in the 1930's... and they abused it to spread nazi and far-right hate speech & propaganda to whip the country into madness and that resulted in World War II and the massacre of HALF of Europe's population.
There is a LIMIT to what u can say... making death threats and terroristic threats is NOT "freedom of speech". They are vile and evil and it is NOT 'hypocritical' of me or ANYONE to call out arseholes like u who think that it gives u the right to p!ss down my back and call it 'rain'.
Did u know that "freedom of speech" on social media was what was used in Myanmar to orchestrate the massacre of 25,000+ Rohingyas and displace 1 million of them from the country in 2017?
The Myanmar military and their supporters did this by spreading the trope on social media that "killing a Rohingya is equal to killing an insect" and that made it OK for the rest of the country to tolerate their genocide of Rohingyas.
...And they got what was coming, because the Myanmar military soon turned their guns and warplanes on the rest of Myanmar in 2021.
Now, Indian Hindu nationalists are using that 'freedom' to spread anti-Muslim hate across India and had lead to mob attacks and destruction of homes and deaths of minority Indian Muslims... and the police & army won't help cos they are in LINE w/ the nationalist garbage speech that is all over the net and social media.
So yeah... u keep a dog as a pet? U don't give it complete freedom or it will wreck ur home & crap all over the place...
The same w/ pr!cks like u... If I let u spew out your nonsense, we will end up w/ more karens and kkk that we want to handle. And that cannot be tolerated... neo nazis belong at the end of a rope... No other way.
and BTW, even drunk, I've NEVER gone on rants and tirades against ethnicities... If u do that, it truly reveals what a deplorable human u are within... and it is NOT hypocritical to call u out on that! 😈
@@sumonjamal1653 You cannot abuse free speech. They did not have free speech, mor0n. they attacked, threatened, and bullied anyone who spoken against their agenda. That is social terrorism. That is censorship and deplatforming and controlling speech - the method YOU condone. the only immunity to engineered conversations is absolute uncontrolled speech, and that is the ONLY solution. But i'm not surprised, people today are 10 times dumbed than they were centuries ago. sad.
Awesome reaction 👍👍
What do you mean? This is the Best valentine movie of all time! 😂 Excellent reaction. You are very keen and smart.
I wish I could hear the movie
BAGPIPES
The ONLY musical instrument
Considered a Weapon of WAR
I’ve read that it takes 10-15 minutes for someone to hang until they die
In the end they were pulling William's intestines out. It is called disemboweling and is very painful.
Happy Sunday Bisscute, Braveheart will always be one of the great movies. Mel did it great, Cant wait to see your reaction
We caught the ancestor reference. Good old, bad old Vlad.. :)
We did a ghost walk through London. It's included the square where it all happened. It's a little park now. You still feel the misery of all the executions. Brutal times
The two jesters before the torture were showing what would happen to Wallace (the rope represents...)
th-cam.com/video/Pismg8l57Rs/w-d-xo.html
I wonder how many of your viewers understood the connection of you being Romanian and the Vlad reference. Great video. also, when you said you hope they didn’t cut off William Wallace’s junk, that is exactly what they did before he was beheaded. I recommend “The Outlaw King” which is a slightly, but not much, more historically accurate story of Robert the Bruce.
Speaking on the historical aspect, Edward I the Longshanks had a different nickname : The Hammer of the Scots. The movie nails his ruthless nature. His son, Edward II was also pretty true to the portrayal, a weakling. The wife, Princess Isabella, was only 9 years old, so Wallace was not sleeping with her. The first battle was even more impressive in real life, it took place on a bridge, the Scots let the English get halfway across, trapped them, and beat the hell out of them. The Scots also didnt wear kilts and shit (they didnt even exist at this time, thats a 17th century invention), they would've been equally equipped, and the Scots really liked their pikemen. Robert the Bruce wasn't a traitor, he was in the rebellion from the start. England did not occupy Scotland for 100 years, maybe 4 or 5, so the whole freedom notion was silly. Wallace was actually rich, second son of a minor noble. his daddy didn't get killed, and there was no proof he was married. The movie is still fun though. French and English were pretty close language-wise at this point in time, as this was still during the period of the Norman influence on England.
Yeah, a great film but one of most grossly historically inaccurate films ever made. Wallace was a noble, his father and 1st wife weren't killed by the English, the Battle Stirling Bridge had a bridge in it (who knew!), The Scots didn't have blue face paint, primae noctis wasn't a thing and on and on ... but still. fun film
4:39. You are, after all, a genius! You have proven it time, and again!
Favourite character is the old man, closely followed by the crazy Irish King.
The old man plays lord commander Mormont in game of thrones, his son, the red head is in Gangs of new York, Mad eye Moodie in harry potter and many other shows.
Mel Gibson’s amazing blue eyes are part of why he was a star up until he got drunk and started yelling racist and expressing antisemitism while being filmed and lost his career.
Campbell was Hamish's father. A Scottish berserker.
The guy who is part of Mel's production company, the last voice in this I think, is a descendant of Wallace!😮😮😮
Mel Gibson movies are usually based on true events or true story movies. Passion of the Christ, Braveheart, Once we were Soldiers, hacksaw Ridge. Not Blackhawk Down tho some people think so. His films are very beautiful and violent.
This is one of my favorite movies, it made such an impact to me that each scene is etched in my brain. The only thing about it is that this was very inaccurate that it's a totally different story from the real life persons it tried to depict. It's really loosely based on William Wallace, although the story of the movie in a vacuum is a masterpiece.
Very inaccurate is the understatement of the century regarding this movie. The facts end at the main character names, everything else from the clothes through to the love affair (the princess was 8 or 9 when Wallace died) to the ending is complete historical horseshit.
