James Horner, who passed away recently, composed a very beautiful soundtrack.
Beautiful reaction.
Everyone in this movie should have won an award's for their performances
I agree… Even the tea boy, catering team and janitor. Oscar worthy
Who are all these weird people who feel like they need to go on every Braveheart reaction comments section and say the film isn't historically accurate?
I agree, they need to get a life.
They are so "original" /s.
one thus come It's one man, and his name is "Actual Lee" and for some reason he looks like Lewis Lovhaug.
The same weirdos who swarm every LOTR reaction to tell people that Viggo "broke his toe", or BTTF "Twin Pines becomes Lone Pine". Every movie's got something, and sadly this one is about its historical accuracy, which like, I get it. But nowadays it seems like suspension of disbelief is no longer allowed.
@@tfpp1 its not about suspension of belief, its about historical accuracy. The movie does a disservice to the people of Scotland who know the truth, and celebrate William Wallace for who he was and what he did for the country, and not what Hollywood would have you believe the events that lead to Scotland's Independence played out. If you ever get the chance to visit Scotland, the tour guides will quickly point out what a load of crap the movie is. If that's coming from the people of Scotland itself, than there's nothing weird about pointing out the inaccuracies surrounding this great man.
I can't be the first one that points this out, but I just love the true affection you all have for one another. It's so apparent when you all watch things together. ❤️
I noticed that too, but I think it was more of a friendship kind. Later on they talk about finding a man like(W.Wallace) to have. Kool reaction video no matter what though.
@@bryguysays2948 I think you may have misunderstood, and thus applied a different meaning to what I said.
yeah u wish.pervert
they are married
LOL, Vicky said, "They were naked under there."
And Michelle said, "Of course they are. Freedom!"
Now that was funny, I don't care who you are.
That made me lmao!
The only problem with that was the film is set hundreds of years before the Scottish were wearing kilts and tartan, and they never painted their faces.
@@peterdemkiw3280 and Isabella COULDNT have ever met william wallace because she wasnt born till after his death
Bore off Charles, stop begging it you simp
@@peterdemkiw3280::Peter Griffin voice:: Shut up Peter! You.. - you-- shut up!
In real life, the Battle of Stirling was actually the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Instead of using long spears to stop the Calvary charge on open ground. Wallace and his men waited for the English to cross a long narrow bridge over a river. When half the English, with the Commanders in the lead crossed, Wallace and his men attacked. The bridge was too narrow for the English to come over more than two horsemen side by side or three men across on foot. In the chaos, the other half of the English forces were trapped on the bridge, while their Commanders and Calvary, were wiped out. English soldiers were not trained to think for themselves, only follow orders. So when their Commanders were all killed, they turned and fled back across the bridge, not knowing what else to do. The remainder of the English troops fled, with Wallace and his men in pursuit, killing some of them and attacking and seizing the English army's supply train, with all their food and other provisions. It was considered by many historians a brilliant tactical play by Wallace.
The tactics had absolutely nothing to do with Wallace, it was sir Andrew Moray who was responsible for that, and he was injured and died of his wounds after the battle, thus why at the battle of Falkirk the combination of the English having an experienced commander and the Scots only having Wallace it led to a crushing defeat for the Scots. We sat in our schiltron formations and were slaughtered by the English longbowmen until there were gaps in the schiltrons, then the English sent in the heavy cavalry and we were routed.
also half of the English army was not at the battle to being with.
@@andoobs2 Of this film's many, many accuracy sins, writing the brilliant Andrew de Moray out of history is one of its most egregious.
I hope this part i true that he got to bang the future queen before death and she had hes baby cause thats a ultimate... for the king
@@ShadowWizard If he did it would have been pretty damn disturbing. Isabella was only 10 years old when Wallace was executed.
She'd also never even visited the Britain at that point.
Later on though she and her lover did have her husband Edward II murdered. However years later in revenge for the murder, her son Edward III would have her lover executed and Isabella herself banished from court.
Yea, the Plantagenet family were a troubled lot.
I liked how at the beginning you both seemed bored, halfway through you were becoming absorbed into it, and by the end it had totally consumed your emotions....Such great storytelling and filmmaking....We'd be lucky these days to get a film with half as much heart, half of much care into making it today, and half as good as Braveheart...
And less that half true..
Its an incredibly important film,especially today with so much governmental tyranny going on world wide.
Well said
@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 An important film in how to not make films.I love this film but only watching from the standpoint that it is just an action adventure film.It is about as accurate as a stormtrooper in Star Wars.Almost all of the history in the film is wrong and Scottish hero's such as Andrew Moray are missing from it.
They were never bored. 😂
Uncle Argyle was smart. though his part was very small the facts of life were conveyed very quick.
Braveheart became my favorite movie when I went to see it back in 1996 and remains at the top of my list. Loved seeing you two enjoy it as much as I did.
Great music, great acting!
Best line by Patrick McGoohan: “ But who will go to him? Not I. If I fell under the sword of that murderer, that might be my head in a basket.
And not my gentle son. The mere sight of him would only encourage the enemy to take over the whole country. 🤣 So whom do I send? Whom do I send?
Yeh ... Patrick McGoohan was masterful in this role.
Lol “not my gentle son” it’s the most epic burn
Well that's one of the funniest lines but the best is the speech before the first battle.
It's considered the greatest war speech in movie history.
My favorite was yes but we'll hit there's aswel, attack😂
A more accurate line would have been something like, "When I have that Wallace in chains he will suffer for raising arms against me"
I love the part when the king throws the guy out the window.
Satisfying
He was skilled in military tactics though😂
That guy's name was Phillip, thank you very much. Completely kidding, loved that scene
Honestly I was satisfyed. Because they were both clearly spoiled brats and well he had it coming
That's because he was gay.... perfect
Every Scottish person who has seen this movie wept when Wallace cried out freedom just before being beheaded, i was one of them and i still weep watching it to this day including during your reaction.
Mel Gibson's other powerful masterpieces worth watching are The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto and Hacksaw Ridge
And the Patriot and We were Soldiers
@@kattcity The Patriot is not a Mel Gibson directed movie.
@@Quotenwagnerianer He was in it though, lead actor, who directed if you know? What was wrong with the suggestion?
@@walkingwounded3824 It was a Roland Emmerich movie. And the wrong thing about the suggestion was that the original poster was mentioning only movies where he directed and not starred in.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Thanks! Understood.
My heart sank at the scene of Wallace's torture. Until now I can’t hold back the tears from the ending. Only the Lord of the Rings and the final battle from The Last Samurai evoke such emotions in me.
Get a grip!
In real life it was a 100 times worse.
@@nickc3250 Yes, I read about it.
Wallace (Braveheart) and Maximus (Gladiator) are the names that I will give my sons. 💪 ❤️
Soo cool.
My sons will be named Ashley and Madison.
@@iainsteele5737 depends where he's from, in Latin America it's common to name kids after historical figures
This film won loads of Oscars, it isn’t 100% historically accurate but I digress. It is still a fantastic and patriotic film🏴
Definitely one of the greatest movies ever made!I haven't watched it in a bit ,gonna have to revisit it .Mel knocked it outta the fucking park with this one .
Its not entirely accurate though
Pure Hollywood fantasy
@@Pazuzu82 you can say that again
As a Scotsman I’m hard to get emotional..l.I cry every time I watch this..seen it hundreds of times
You cry over a film that's complete B.S?
@@s.j.l.8736 get over yourself, the emotional themes in this movie are powerful
@@leob4403 lmfao
@@s.j.l.8736 nah he's right, get over yourself.
AM Scottish can't hear it
That form of execution was called being "hanged, drawn, and quartered". It was reserved for those declared traitors. Very brutal. The condemned was carried to the site of the execution on what was called a "hurdle", where then they were hanged until almost dead. They were then cut down, revived if necessary, and then stretched out as you saw in the movie. The condemned was then slowly disemboweled. When the condemned was finally dead, the body was cut into four pieces to
be sent to the four corners of the kingdom, as the actor playing Robert The Bruce narrated in the closing scene of the movie. I use this part of Braveheart in the history classes in which I teach, because I have MANY students asking me to explain what it meant.
I hope you don't use it as an accurate depiction of history. I pity your students if you do.
@@steveneltringham1478 LOL!! No, not at all. In fact, I tell them that about the only historically accurate thing about the movie is the fact that Scotland is north of England. LOL But I kind of use it to "set the mood" when talking about certain parts of Medieval society. The scene of Wallace's execution gets their attention before I start discussing "crime and punishment in the Middle Ages".
@@bradarmintor My faith in education is restored.
@@steveneltringham1478 there are like a million other reasons not to have faith in the education system
@@leob4403 You're one.
Fun Fact: Robert The Bruce and American “Mad” Anthony Wayne was the inspiration for the name of Batman’s secret identity, *Bruce Wayne* 🦇
The princess is known to history as The She-wolf. She killed the boy and ruled in her own right. A real badass. Great reaction.
The reason why the crowd were pelting him with items, and much of the soldier beatings, was because there wasn't exactly a national news service. The English people were told that Wallace was a murderous barbarian who was killing families and sacking towns. I've always enjoyed this movie, not too historically accurate, but very enjoyable. I'm from Falkirk, the theater erupted in cheers when that battle started. Literally not more than 500 meters from where I live.
From the what I have read there actually was a man named William Wallace, and he did kind of start the independence revolution for Scotland, Earl Robert the Bruce did actually finish what William started at the battle of Bannockburn which won Scotland they’re freedom from English tyranny. It was finalized with the treaty of Edinburgh in 1328. But it was Al started with William Wallace who was the Commander and Chief of the wars for Scotland against the English. I don’t know why people say it isn’t true. From what o have read, most of it is.
The fact, that you leave freedom speech quiet, make me sad. Probably the best part of whole movie. At least for true man's. Because every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Greetings from Slovakia.
Hello, Brother Slovak. ... There is so much power and truth in this one sentence. We Slovaks have suffered too much in the history of our nation in the slavery and oppression of stronger nations. It makes me weep for the men who live in our state and are weak to fight for justice, freedom and a better livelihood for their children. Where have we come from as a nation ? ...
@@Slovakman23 Love u brother.....a dakujem za koment
"I hate nobles" Welcome to 5000 years of history and struggle.
Lol...5000 years , what you on about!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤦
Real life Wallace was a noble though.
@@mestupkid211986 ...exactly , he was not an Australian Dulux worker 👍
@@glastonbury4304 that hates the English for aome reason
@@mestupkid211986 .. I'm Scottish, but it always gets me how many sheep there are in the world...England didn't become England till only a thousand years ago and one of the greatest Celtic warriors lived close to London and fought the Romans , who was known as Boudica Queen of the Iceni 🤷😊
The old Scottish father who died, played Connor McCloud's friend, who saved him from death, in the great movie about 40 years ago called, Highlander! A must watch. The best evil psychotic bad guy of all time, is in that movie!!!
The person the “Princess of Wales” is based on was Isabella of France and she became a force to be reckoned with after her father-in-law died and her husband took the throne. She became known as the “She-wolf of France”.
Homies! Other Mel Gibson epics to check out: Apocalypto, The Passion of the Christ, The Patriot.
The Passion of the Christ was directed by Mel Gibson and its a great movie. yall should react to it
Dont girls! Please don't!
@@nickc3250 what's your problem?
Yes it’s a great movie
No please no :(
No! That would literally break them all...no more innocent Ellie or viki.
I love to watch your reactions, It shows us how emotional you get when watching and it makes you guys more relatable.
The saddest character in this movie was the Princess because she was trying to save the father of her baby. If she convinced the King to spare him she would have set Wallace free after the King died. In the end she has to listen to the father of her baby die and she is powerless to stop it. By the way, if you were wondering what they were doing to him that we couldn't see. The book said "they disemboweled him." Its to cut open and remove the internal organs.
Pity the Princess had nothing to do with William Wallace, she was a kid at the time ...but makes for a good bit of romance in the film although complete rubbish 👍😉
_Braveheart_ won five Academy Awards out of a whopping ten nominations. It won Best Picture, Best Director (Mel Gibson), Best Cinematography, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Makeup.
Great, girls! And in these days more than ever: Freedom!!
Greetings from Norway 🇧🇻
It's Christmas time! You all need to watch two of the greatest Christmas movies ever: "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989) and "A Christmas Story" (1983). Have a wonderful holiday!
Good reaction. Michelle was right about the Viking influence. England, Ireland and Scotland were all ruled by Viking kings for an extended period. However I do believe this rule had a greater influence on the Celtic Scottish and Irish Cultures than it did the Britons, who already had been influenced by both the Roman and Saxon invasions.
The English were also heavily influenced by the Norman French.
@@Invisiblewiz Correct. The irony of all post 1066, pre-Elizabeth I movies is that the English royalty should probably be speaking Norman French as a first language. The only TV series that I know of, off the top of my head, that portrayed this was The Bastard Executioner from FX.
Your obviously not a history buff then. Same as the script writers
Haven’t you ever heard of the Dane law????
@@bertybasilbennett3040 LOL! You obviously don't read English well! "England, Ireland and Scotland were all ruled by Viking kings for an extended period." Have you ever heard of Hooked on Phonics? 😃
Watched this movie the first time when I was 13... These girls react to these classics makes me feel quite old :D
This film has everything, love story, betrayal, action, war and disembowelment. Well, as far as real history no. A good film and love the girls watching
Problem with it is it’s very inaccurate to history. The movie makes it look like robert the bruce betrayed William but they actually never knew each other. Robert is the actual hero of Scotland.
Like Gladiator and every single historical Hollywood movie ever made....do people obsessively visit those movies and make the same comments? Or is their scope of history that narrow to believe all the other Hollywood fabrications are true?
Not true. No Vampires.
yep, this film is not completely accurate historically but fun to watch
Kudos to Philip the advisor being England's first official airman by decree of the king.
Say what you want about Mel nowadays but every movie he made from this on is a masterpiece
In real life, it is said that the commander William talked to at Sterling, the English guy, when the battle was over... Wallace skinned him alive... and used his skin as a new holster carrier for his longsword. Wow.
At the end he was disemboweled and then castrated. That's what you couldn't see them doing on screen. This is my all-time favorite movie. The weekend it released to theatres in 1995, I went to the theatres 5 times to watch it that weekend. That's how much I loved it.
"They barely know each other, but they have this connection..."
My parents dated for 3 weeks; they were married for 50 years.
23:03 "Because they (the horses) cannot fight." What???? Oh I beg to differ. They most certainly can fight. War horses are trained to fight. They will kick, stomp, trample, and bite. They train them to be around lots of people and lots of noise so they won't be spooked in battle. Now this doesn't mean they deserve to die and it's tragedy that they had to suffer because they fought on the wrong side. But unfortunately in battle, it's the horses (and their riders) or you.
Prima nocte was also known as "droit de Seigneur" and practiced all over feudal Europe for hundreds of years. It had been imposed on the English after the Norman invasion and the English imposed it on the Scots and Irish when they were conquered. Any nobleman had the right to have sex with a vassal's bride on her wedding night. Also, horse meat (known as "chaval") was much consumed, so a battlefield of dead horses provided meals for the survivors. It was a rough time.
The best/worst moment for me is when Murron is seen walking through the crowd as William is taking his final breaths.
Just imagine being 18-19, you are out clubbing and then this braveheart dance mix comes on ... was epic! Also last of the mohicans, blade , lock stock the fking lot :)
people sleep so hard on last of the mohicans and it's by far one of the best period pieces
Imagine being 14-15 because your age was in contention and were handed a gun and told to march
A lot of great historical corrections in the comments. One thing you have to remember is, as today even, England has 10 times the population of Scotland and much more rich farmland. That is why it was so easy to bribe the Scottish nobility. The last great example was after the Darien affair. I am so glad Michelle is there for Viki, especially when it comes to equine matters!
13:20 William Wallace to Isabella..Oo chochou who is a cute little baby..(or that is how he would have spoken to her as she was only two years old)
45:33 - she was about 10 years old
gotta do the last samurai next... beautiful movie, u ladies will love that 1 I'm sure
No horse were harmed in the making of this movie, they used CGI and practical effects to make it look realistic. No animals were harmed.
When you said you got the viking vibes it was actually correct - the land of Scotland (which wasn't Scotland back then) was invaded by vikings many times over. Many of us, Scots, actually share blood with the vikings. By the time the Braveheart happened it was about 500 years after the last viking invasion there.
@46:00 mark. You ladies are the first reactors I've watched that have picked up on the symbolism of the sin/evil slowly but inevitably killing the wicked men. Bravo
the world hasn´t changed much since that time, there still is very little honor in the world and the kings have gotten better at stopping the honorable ones before they gain any influence or the idea of freedom would spread
there has been tries to create freedom, but everywhere there are people that crave power who fight against it
I love the movie, it is like Edward Snowden of the past, fighting against power abuse against all odds :)
You aren't wrong, I am glad though the brutality of war has scaled back. Any war is terrible but total war is a horrible thing, the ROE's when I was in the military was more restrictive than the police most of the time and I'm glad that was the case.
@@nihrke3844 I agree, each time that any kind of unecessary brutality is brought into the light, we take one small step closer to a better world, glad to hear ur view of it and lets hope others follow the examples and also lives up to them
It is people like in this movie that knows what the right thing to do and brave enough to do it without personally expecting to gain anything from it that are the heroes in the world
"The one who plants a tree knowing they will never sit in its shadow has truly understood the meaning of life"
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Great reaction I cried like a baby when I first saw Muron die too
you should check out the Patriot also. Same concept different time period. Both classics!
well Ellie was crying through the entire movie like a baby so you guys did pretty well emotionally compared to her haha
@Matrixnukum trust me I know all about it, I'm Scottish 😂
@@andoobs2 And also hundreds of years old lol ?
@@justindenney-hall5875 I never said that did I? But when its the history of your countries fight for freedom it's pretty well known to every person that lives here, its taught in our schools, even our national anthem is about it.
@@andoobs2 Well you must be hundreds of years old because it happened in Medieval times, and you said you knew all about it, so I figured you had to be alive at the time because that's the only way you have truly known all about it.
@@justindenney-hall5875 did you not read what I just said ... I literally explained this
Women simply cry during this movie. So do guys.
And so do us Scottish people.
Some historical inaccuracies happened in this film, but it's still at least a hit film about our culture. We are so happy that other cultures can react to our heritage in a positive and emotional accepting way.
Someone needs to react to passion of Christ by Mel Gibson! Seems like people are scared to..
Fuck that!

Freedom is not free...
It costs blood. It's costs lives.
men like Wallace stories and tails of theirs led me to have a love for the Arts opera and ballet, I was an ice skater, and learned gymnastics despite being poor my mom made sure I could do these things. I am a Veteran of the Army, a singer songwrite I write poetry, and I'm a hopeless romantic. however one day the time came for me to face my fears and an enemy. at 3 AM my wife's cousin broke in with the intent to kill my wife, I had a chance to run and flee to save myself or risk it all to save her. my attacker her attacker is 6'7" weighed 320 lbs and I am only 5'9" had to look up to this giant of a man. I had my ice ax from my bedroom wall and I went after him but he had already jumped on her and began beating her before I could collect myself from being head butt. I swung my ax in hopes of hitting him and they rolled at the last second. I didn't know it at the time but I did get him across the abdomen. we were now locked in hand to hand combat, his experience was years of hand to hand fighting for fun and mine was basic training in the Army. we fought rolling off the bed I nearly put the ax into his eye, he rolled to try and gain the upper hand, but he failed as I drove the adse into his thigh. we rolled into the living room into broken glass from the windows that blew out when he kicked my door clean off its hinges. it took 22 minutes for the police to arrive. they had to kick him in the head repeatedly with steal toe boots to get him off of me and to let go of my ax. I won because I kept my wife alive and I survived. for the injury count I had 2 dozen shards of glass in my legs and back I received 41 stitches just from the glass. I lost nearly 2 pints of blood, 3 broken ribs, blood in my lungs a broken orbital socket, broken nose, and a severe skull fracture, I developed massive brain swelling from the skull fracture and pneumonia from the blood in my lungs. I had broken jaw and at first no one knew I was dying so they didn't treat my head injury and I was released 4 hours later I was in the hospital strapped to a table wrapped in ice getting medications and getting a CT. I was placed in a dark room once it was safe for me to sleep. I was put under so I would sleep. I still suffer from the brain damaged he caused, but I'm alive. after all that no one ever thanked me for saving my wife. her parents sided with the man who tried to kill her, she was angry is still angry that I saved her, even the cops thought it was nuts. the 7 officers who responded shook my hand and they told me I did the right thing. but to this day still no one has said thank you and man all I wanted was just some gratitude from her family. I still love her but this broke me emotionally. I have been jaded since and even though I'm often put into situations I can and do help others it does give me pause knowing the impact it might have on me and with potential of not even gratitude. well in my mind I did the right thing.
So adorable both of your genuine reactions. 💕
They're great at reminding you why you love the movie so much. Watching a good reaction video is almost as good as watching it the first time
God bless your innocence, girls. I've seen a couple of your reactions now, and love that you've never seen the world as so many of us have. 💕
Seen this movie so many times I forget how shocking it is that Murron is killed like that.
FYI the Flower Wallace kept Fron Murron is Scotland's national flower.
The Thistle. Also embroidered on her wedding gift to William that he drops as he is beheaded. Robert the Bruce pulls it from his gauntlet...
Carry on
I think you girls skipped to upload some of the most beautiful & emotional scenes where James Horner’s music themes really shine.
Edward I "Longshanks" was actually one of the best kings England ever had. He's a villain here, sure, but the real man led a very fascinating life.
There was also a reason why Edward I Plantagenet was also known as “The Hammer of the Scots”.
He was a great king for England. For Scotland, he was an absolute nightmare...
@@XX2Media In Eddie Longlegs defense...The Scots were asking for it.
They're the ones who asked him for help. They asked him to help with arbitration during their succession crisis. He did. (Of course choosing a very pro-English king) But the Scottish nobles kept flip-flopping and some of them even attacked English settlements in Scotland. So Eddie returned the favor and showed himself more thorough and brutal than any of them could ever hope to be and from then on, as expected of a king who radiates Black Air Force energy, made a point of humiliating the Scots with every malicious fiber of his being. Even in death he still wanted to fuck with them with the Stone of Scone and wanting for his body to be boiled, stripped clean of sinew, and his bones used as standards for the next hammering of the Scots. Too bad (for England, but good for Scotland) Edward II was nothing like his dad.
(Also, I find it funny that Edward Hammertime Longshanks is actually King John Softsword's grandson. So in a way with Edward I and later Edward III John's line kinda redeemed itself.)
Also, it's possible Wallace might have served Longshanks before becoming a national hero. Wallace was the younger son of a minor noble and was something of an outlaw and brigand. He might also have been a mercenary at some point, and his coat of arms suggests he might have served as an archer under one of Edward Longshank's campaigns. Some are even rumoring he might actually be the real Robin Hood.
@@Borderose that’s all actually really funny...
You should react to the TV show Peaky Blinders you will absolutely love it I can promise you that. Cillian murphy is unreal as Tommy shelby in it.
It almost seemed like you guys were turning Scottish right in front of my eyes lol when I started hearing “ooch” very few minutes 😆
As a teenager, I watched this movie more than 10 times in the theater. They re-released it for the Oscar's at Christmas, and I watched it even more. One of my HS buddies joined me for at least half of the viewings. Still makes me tear up 26byears later. I have a 4k bluray player just because of Braveheart
Great movie. You should also react to his underrated great action movie Ransom. Also other great historical movies are Rob Roy 1995 and The Count of Monte Cristo 2002.

This is ancient Greek and I'm sure I'm butchering it but it's something like: The only men who call for war are men who have never experienced the true nature of men.
I've been married for 16 years together for 18 and counting. I am committed I believe after all these years it's safe to say she is too. I have 3 children. I grew up very poor and I've managed to provide much more to my children in terms of stability I am grateful for how things have been no one else could put up with my crap like she does and she's positive no one else would have put up with her for so long either. until death takes one of us we will be together.
Vicki , Thankyou. Its not often we see real emotion in this day and age. Lucky the soul who connects with you.
I literally watched this 68 times. It came out in the year i graduated high school in 95. I watch clips all week. It's just an iconic movie i can't get over. I'm probably gonna watch another reaction of it right after this lol.
But anyway, yall are fine as hell....wish i could watch somethin withya😏
Every movie Mel Gibson touches is golden
One of my favorites. That music in the movie. I love it
"Braveheart" is one of those movies that just gets you if you have real human emotions, and those can't be faked. Wonderful reactions from both of you. I followed both of you on Instagram just now as well. Keep being real...from your newest fan!!!
P. S. If you wanna do another great Mel Gibson movie, you must do "The Patriot". It's every bit as good as "Braveheart".
Only two guys in movies ever got for real choked out while filming a torture scene in a movie, Mel in this, and Jim Caviezel, in Mel's movie, Passion of the Christ!
RIP James Horner.
He wrote such beautiful soundtracks.
I've been a movie collector for a 36 years now, and, just to mention,
here is my top 6 movies ever:
1. Titanic
2. Braveheart
3. Schindler's list
4. The Shawshank redemption
5. The green mile
6. Gladiator
Schindler is on third place only because of being very hard to watch many times.
I've seen Braveheart and Titanic for 50 times each, and Schindler for 30 or
so times, not because that that movie is worst then the other two, but
because it's very hard to watch too often. Otherwise, it could easy be on no.2
TITANIC IS STILL THE BEST MOVIE EVER (for me, at least)! And I've seen
A LOT of movies, thousands litterally...
(NOTICE THAT, EXCEPT NO.4 ALL THE MOVIES ARE 3 HOURS OF LENGHT). Greetings from Croatia.
Good list, those are all great movies
I'm Scottish and I used to play football with 2 guys who were in Braveheart. One was just an extra but the other was Dave McKay, who was the guy who said '' home...the English are too many'' and '' William Wallace is 7 foot tall'' To be fair he was a bit of a dick and not very good at football either...but at least he got to be in the greatest film ever made. Also the soundtrack was just stunning ❤
On the subject of the poor horses:
Braveheart was the movie that introduced this after, of around, 30+ yrs of having to kill the calvary horse to get to the rider.
Since then, it has been non-stop movie, after movie, after movie of horse killings in combat. And yeah, it sucks. However, the difference is still there between Braveheart and the rest of the movies. In Braveheart, killing the horses with long spears was a very clever way to stop the calvary from trampling over them. Which has actually happened in the days of combat calvary.
In every movie since, every hero, in every war, in every time period, is an apparent expert in stopping combat calvary (Boo! 😉).
But glad you still liked the movie. Keep on keeping on, homies!!! ❤
loved your review,- William Wallace was a real Scottish hero, and his death was more brutal than was seen in this film, we have a national Monument dedicated to him. The princess of Wales was three at the time of his death and was living in France. Robert the Bruce was not at the battle of Falkirk fighting for the Scottish or English. The Irish did switch sides but came over to the Scottish side the night before. The shortest distance between Scotland and Ireland is 16 miles across the Irish sea.
Scotland did win its freedom at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 were there is a monument to Robert the Bruce and a visitor centre. you should watch the Outlaw King which is historically accurate and shows how Robert the Bruce became king.
I don’t know if they are gay or straight or no, doesn’t matter to me, but they are very cute together, and if it is just a friendship they have together, it is a very strong one, I hope they stay in each others lives forever. Everyone needs a friend/ partner like those two. As for the movie Epic is the perfect word, even though we all heard the Mel tapes and know he is a crazy/ bad human being who has 9 kids just because he can and needs to “ spread his seed” or whatever, ( seriously though 9 kids with 3 different women, I doubt he even knows his own kids names), regardless he is one hell of a director, this is one of my favorite movies he has done, this along with The Patriot. Also people forget Mel was born and raised in New York City, his family moved to Australia later on. Just another fact about Mel. Bad person, good director, and unforgettable movie.
No, he didn't send the queen, he sent the _princess_ . To be the queen, she'd have to be Longshank's wife... as she's his son's wife... she's a princess.
I watched you react to The Green Mile before this one, and im subscribing because of the way you enjoy the heavy emotional aspects of these movies. And in hopes that you will soon watch Sling Blade. I grew up surrounded by a lot of abuse and because of that, Sling Blade is both very close to my own pain and close to my heart in the times when im reminded of such things. Sling Blade is a movie that any person must watch at least once, so if you ladies would give that one a peep, it would be special.
Mel was Director, (Director, ladies, not "Producer"), and Lead Actor.
They used army personnel as extras for this film. My friend was in the NZ army, stationed in the UK at the time and he was in this movie.
When the Bruce betrayed Wallace and you say "You see what you've done!?" I believe that is one of the best portrayals of someone realizing what they've done. When he's walking amongst the dead and falls to his knees. The dude is a great and underated actor. You should see him in the show Turn, about British and colonial spies during the American Revolution. He's a fucking Beast.
So great an actor you don't know his name...
Braveheart is now on Netflix
William Wallace story is
Very well told out by Mel's ICON production
The final execution was called “Hung, Drawn & Quartered” in English history it was to worst punishment ever.
The part you didn’t see was they disembowel & castrate while the person is still alive.
The ending called Quartered was the body for cut into 4 parts with the head being left on display.
Anyway the you for your reaction video. 👍
Yea it was so brutal.
Two other movies starring Gibson worth a look are The Bounty and Hamlet.... yes Mel Gibson once portrayed Hamlet. He's much younger in each movie.
Anybody who knows horses, know that they are fighting too. They are very intelligent and will stand by their master. So no horses are not innocent.
That flower is called a Thistle and is a national flower of Scotland.
The follow up movie to this is The Outlaw King (2018), starring Chris Pine who picked up the role of Robert the Bruce. Might want to check it out.
Freedom is not free... OK, not historically "accurate" but shows theme sacrifice is required to fight tyranny, which, yes, does still occur today in sometimes obvious and sometimes subtle forms
