Aww Poor Ellie 😢 Can we take a minute to appreciate one of the greatest movie scores/soundtracks of all time by the late great James Horner. It's pretty much perfect.
Not to put something down you love, but as someone who was quite familiar with Horner's work, I can't agree in the slightest. Horner was good and plagiarizing himself and others, but his well of own inspirations was very shallow.
Braveheart is a classic. Braveheart was Pre Gladiator. Mel Gibson gave an incredible performance as William Wallace and he should had got a Oscar nomination for Best Actor. The movie was epic, brutal and emotional.
I remember back in 1995, we came out of the theater after watching this movie and my friend told me that he feels at that time like he is Scottish... We are Malaysian btw
Lol Yeah I was a little girl watching this at home, I remember painting my face blue in my bathroom yelling freedom with a horrible Scottish accent and imagining green hills and battles This movie achieved what few movies do
This movie hits me hard. Even the soundtrack moves me to tears, which is a masterpiece by James Horner (rip). My ancestory left Scotland before the 1700s and immigrated to Fort Dearborn, Massachusetts. We fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and both World Wars. I don't know how to describe it, but this movie reminds me of my heritage and what we fought for then and even before. And, because of that, I'm touched and extremely thankful that my ancestors fought like warrior poets for freedom.
Ellie is now my favourite person on the planet. You feel the exact same way we all felt whilst watching this the first time. Thanks for an honest, true, reaction video. 🏴
Ellie is also my favourite, she as a real heart of gold and clearly cares about other people and pther things , not just herself , she's selfless. Ellie is definitely marriage material in my eyes and personally I would definitely date and Marry her. She's so kind , caring, genuine , cool, awsome and such a loving person, the other homies girls are aswell, but most of all Ellie especially with how much raw emotions she shows when reacting to movie videos here on youtube. Personally it might sound soft and cheesy but it's painful and very difficult// hard to see her cry (it's good to let it out though) and it makes me want to be there to hold her tight in my arms, ghve her hugs and cuddles While being there and comfort her with a shoulder to cry on. Also wipe and dry away everyone of her tears that sheds down her soft (face) cheeks , that might sound soft and cheesy, but i don't care if it does. Personally i would love to be there for her especially when she's going through her (raw) emotions.
The funny thing is that it doesn't matter. It compresses time, changes characters, events etc...but somehow still retains a kernel of the overall truth. I personally love Apocalypto (also by Mel Gibson) for the same reason.
The real history is so much more interesting. But of course movies have runtime to consider. But I think if they had the Scots dress up in mail and plate like the English (as they did in real life) and not in kilts (which came centuries later) or Pictish face paint (which came centuries before), the Scots would have been represented way better.
@@doesnotexist305 , Yeah I agree ... real history is so much better. Also the blue paint looks cool , but they didn't wear that lol. I mean they're pagen ancestors called the Picts did back in the 3rd century , and stopped like 300 years before this took place. Not only that , Scottish especially in those times were strict catholics , so I highly doubt they would ride into battle like their pagen ancestors. They even got some of the dates wrong 😆. But all said still good movie. Most of Mel Gibson's movie are like that. Like Apocalypto .. good movie , but hella inaccurate. For 1 in that movie they were wayyyy more Aztec than Mayan.
@@animal9633 Yeah , I still think they're great movies , but when u love history like I do , it does stick in the back of ur mind a bit.

For 1 they're depicted as Aztec wayyyyyy more than Mayan. But like I said I'm not hating , I got both films on 4k Ultra..Love both movies. Braveheart is probably in my top 10 favorite movie ever
Large parts of it were also filmed in Ireland and of course the Irish army obliged in the battle scenes, Ireland was very generous with tax breaks for filming, I also like the end scene where Wallace screams freedom as he dies at the same time as Edward II is on his death bed, Edward actually died in 1327 some 21 years after Wallace, having taken an interest in history whilst I like movies I now find it difficult to watch some films because of all the inaccuracies, as mentioned here real history is in reality far more engaging than Hollywood rewrites.

Greed, oppression, and violence don't have to be out of place in order for someone to feel contempt for those who engage in it or to feel empathy for those who are victims of it.

Kudos for knowing the correct term for what Longshanks did to his son's "Councilor." Most people today wouldn't even know that there is a proper term for it. Also, I caught that sudden change that she did as well. So funny.
@@Rebelrocker69 I remember thinking it was so funny there was a word for that, and it just always seemed to stick with me because of this. I was happy to have a chance to use it properly! (Now I just need a good reason to use the word "callipygian" in the proper context... 🙈)
His actual name or they are most certainly referring to was actually called Piers Gaveston and he was actually assigned to King Edward I eldest son also called Edward (subsequently after his fathers death from dysentery at Carlisle in 1307) became Edward II 1307-1327. When Edward found that Gaveston was so extravagant for Edward he was sent into exile to France by Edward I, when the king died Gaveston was taken out of exile and given the 1st Earl of Cornwall title that really pissed off his own nobility, to the point he was killed in 1327 (after Gaveston was killed by his nobility as well).
Hats off to Mel Gibson on the hard work he put in to this movie. Researching the story line of who William Wallace was, how William liberated Scotland from English rule, depicting how the cruel world worked back in the 13th century, picking the actors and cast members, music and cinematics, directing, filming, and playing the main character is beyond amazing .
Because the film is made up. If you care about history or what is true, then you'll care that the film is a fairytale. You dont need to be a historian to care about real Scottish history.
@@Skedaddlemahgaggle The movie wasn't sold as a fairytale. He'll, 300 actually was presented as a fantastical retelling and even that movie was probably more accurate than this.
You are just about the most adorable woman with a lovely heart. As an Irishman, this was the fate of my Nation at the hands of the English for 700 years. They are gone now and Irelands people can breathe again.
Well, the Republic part at least. I'm curious, do you guys still consider those in Northern Ireland as "fully" Irish or has the long history of English colonization and intermarriage there plus the modern political separation made them more like one more set of distant Gaelic cousins within the UK rather than as your brothers/sisters?
@@SoSoKayla In my opinion the people in the North have a different mindset than those in the Republic. Ireland is a very accepting place with very liberal views, i do not believe the same exists in Northern Ireland.
They are gone??! It's sad to watch the political map of Ireland a seeing that big piece missing. But as Edward Longshanks wisely said "If you can't get them out, you can breed them out !!!;-)
Not as long as the Ullster counties belong to England. They come back, Ireland is whole and unified, one people again, then it’s over. Until that day, Ireland and Scotland still dream. And so do I.
@@SoSoKayla Those are the people that live there, it doesn't matter if their administration is in England or Ireland, it is their home. It's only a matter of semantics at this stage.
Dear Ellie, thank you so much for putting your true emotions out for us to see and share with you. I think you are the most amazing person on TH-cam. I am a regular guy here in the U.S. and I am with you every minute that I watch your reactions. You are a real sweetheart. God bless you...
I remember a Scottish mate of mine who was a sergeant in the Met Police. He said he saw this in a cinema in Glasgow and when they left, if there'd been a rack of claymores and a bus to London there'd have been a revolution.
you get it, the range of human emotions it takes to be a good human being. Believe in something good for everyone, then fight to make those who would enslave to keep power, pay dearly for their mistake , I just love your take on the world.
"If I swear to him, then all that I am is dead already." "No, this is _not_ exactly true because if you live, when he is dead she will be the queen because his son is piece of s--t and, maybe you can kill him, and then the things can be better." Very pragmatic, Ellie.
Many have commented on the historical inaccuracies of this movie. Let us set factual (or recorded by the victor, as mentioned in the opening) history aside for a moment and focus on it as just a story that is being told. This is an incredible story. The casting could not be better. The performance was superb by all the actors involved. The movie score fit the theme and tone of the movie. It was action, drama, political intrigue, romance. It made you happy, excited, anxious, horrified, angry, sad.... What more could you ask for?
I love her, she is so human so expressive , when she cry i want to cry and when she laugh or smile i want to laugh and smile too, so much humanity in her reaction.. great movie braveheart as well..
Great emotional reaction (exactly what I would have expected). There is a Netflix-movie called "OUTLAW KING", which tells the story of "Robert the Bruce" and can be regarded as a sort of a sequel to the story of Wallace.
this was how almost everyone reacted to this movie when it came out ellie. just imagine seeing it in theatres. great movie. loved watching you watch it.
lol imagine being lucky enough too watch this movie in a theatre with Ellie,or maybe with Beautiful Ellies reaction to it,you would both have likely been thrown out of the quiet theartre lol,love her.
Ellie i love you girl, never seen such emotion from any person thats watched braveheart, now you know how we feel watching this movie, we are so proud to be Scottish. We love you.🏴🏴🏴
I am moved deeply in my heart to see your love for my home country scottland 😭❤ You have touched my soul with your tears snd emotions by crying for my home country scottland😭❤ Words cannot decribe how much and deeply you have moved me😭😭❤ you will be welcomed in scottland with open arms ❤ If im in scottland one day in the future i will happily show you around❤ you will love scottland even more when your there seeing the country with your own eyes ❤ For the love and tears you have shown for my home country, i thank you from my very heart and soul😭❤
26:05 "Is he qualified?" - "I am skilled in the arts of secret backdoor negotiations and swordplay tactics, sire" - "Very well, I will make you responsible for the development of our airborne tactical doctrine"
Whereas factually speaking he is loosely based on a real person who was assigned by Edward I to his eldest son (also named Edward) household and his name was Piers Gaveston. When Edward I found out they had feelings for each other (as Edward of Caernarfon or Caernarvon depending on the spelling in Welsh as he was born in Wales or Cymru pronounced cumry) he sent Piers Gaveston into exile in France, after Edward I death from dysentery at Carlisle in 1307 he (Edward II by that point) brought Gaveston out of exile when sometime after Gaveston was killed by Edward II nobility and then later on Edward II was killed also by his own nobility in Gloucestershire (even his wife turned on him as well).
Simply loved your reaction! Pure emotion is what this movie brings out in you when you watch it, and feel it, and it delivers like very few others before or since.
Her reaction made me feel it as if I was there. I got a lump in my throat and watery eyes just like when I saw this in theaters back when it came out and I was 25 lol! Wow man, I'll be 52 in a couple of days. Where did the years go?!
Everyone needs an Ellie in their life. Outlaw King is a newer and far more accurate take on Braveheart story but also set just before the end of this one, stars Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce and was quite an entertaining film
Agreed. If you want a more accurate history version of Scotlands rebellion it’s outlaw king. Brave Heart is way of from actual history. The first big battle in the movie at stirling is way inaccurate. It was stirling bridge.
"We've got to try. You know what happens if we don't?" "What?" "Nothing." I've always remembered that quote. It's a reminder that doing nothing has consequences too. Sometimes we're so afraid of taking risks that we forget that nothing changes if we don't. Nothing changes until someone changes it.
The actor playing Robert the Bruce was great as was Edward longshanks actor,Braveheart is a very good film. Lol Ellie crying her eyes out again,gotta recommend a comedy I know:Caddyshack
Not sure if you ever watched the Netflix Show “Turn” (I’d definitely recommend it, fantastic acting.) but Angus Macfadyen (Robert the Bruce) plays a Scottish Frontiersman and mercenary during the American war for Independence named Robert Rogers. His performance was absolutely stellar.
@@ohauss Ikr the real William Wallace was a deranged religious kook who by today's standards would be considered a terrorist. When this film came out 1995? I remember the history channel had a program on him to capitalize on this films success,Mel Gibson took ALOT of "creative liberties" which is a euphemism in American entertainment industry for outright lie.Gibson directed this as well.A decade later he did the same with PotC which I did not see.
I love the fact that this movie is 100% historically accurate. Such a great film and so absolutely true to the 700 year old source material. Everything about this movie is correct and awesome. They even filmed it the battle scenes on the actual battlefields and in the county where he grew up. You can even visit the spot at an Edinburgh castle where Longshanks threw his son's lover out the window. So cool how perfectly they got the love story between Wallace and the princess - and his relationship with Robert the Bruce is spot on. My comments are sure to raise an uproar and I don't care. There are SO many folks that feel it is necessary to tell all of the rest of us how historically inaccurate this film really is...over and over and over again. I felt it was time to give a little bit of their nonsense back to them. It is SO tiring to see the same comments for Braveheart from one reviewer to the next, again and again. Who cares about historical accuracy? Good grief. The film is a magnificent, showpiece of drama, so let it be.
From crying to laughing to screaming at the characters all within a minute makes this the best reaction I've seen. Oh man, he's being taken to the gallows right now...I see her having a complete crying meltdown with what's coming next. Man, that ending analysis of her's was so spot on that I'm not sure anyone could've said it better. That idean is pretty relevant right now as millions of people ARE waking up and telling these monsters running almost every country to kiss their asses and it's time for them to leave.....for good.
your tears, then poor horses,, think i am in love! wipe those tears dear Ellie, as ugly as Humanity can be, it is also 100 times as beautiful when hero's rise, and love is found. Always keep your head high, and know each tear you ever shed, you shed with pure EMPATHY! Beautiful!!!!
If you ever visit my home town (Stirling) where the majority of this film takes place in and around id highly recommended visiting the Wallace monument. Its truly beautiful and gives you an amazing view of the castle and city.
Historical accuracy be damned this movie gets to me,it did when I first saw it 20+ years ago and still does to this day.Same with Saving Private Ryan,it doesn't matter how many times I watch it I still feel the same emotions as the first time I watched it.
0:04 "....and this is 'el profesor'.." Dios mío es hermosaaaaaaa😍😍😍 As a native Spanish speaker that was: 😘😘😘😘😘 The way she started the video was one of the cutest ever
the ones who didnt cry during this movie has no hart. I remember watching it in theater and it was all tears. One of the most inspirational stories i deed
Seriously the amount of times i saw her cry throughout this movie is the same amount of times i cry throughout this movie at the same scenes too and ngl we definitely have the saddest movie ever put to screen and ever made
King Edward was definitely a smart and cruel warrior king, but he was extremely successful, he became known as "the Leopard" (due to his coat of arms) and "the hammer of the Scots". He was also over 6 feet tall, a good height for the time
'It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.'
Great movie. Loved it. It had everything, even a small bit of comedy. I don't live in Scotland or the UK, but somehow knowing that Scotland is still part of the UK doesn't sit well with me ... especially since their vote to leave the UK was so close, then a year later the UK votes to leave the EU, meaning Scotland leaves the EU. Scotland wanted to re vote because of this, but weren't allowed... something so wrong about the whole situation. Just doesn't sit well with me.
England's queen died without children around 1600, and her uncontested heir was the King of Scotland. With this, the two countries' monarchies became a single line of succession. After some political maneuvering, the countries merged about 100 years later. So they have 3 or 4 centuries of being a single nation. That's a lot of history to break with.
It doesn't sit well with me that the English aren't allowed to have a vote and free themselves from having to pay for and subsiduse the sponging Scots. Screw Nicola Sturgeon. Freedom for England.
It touches my heart and soul deeply that you show so much love and compassion for my home country Scottland ❤❤❤❤❤❤ im moved to tears to watch your love and spirit for my home country ❤❤ thank you so much ❤ im 25% scottish on my mothersside of family snd i waear my kilt proudly, im the 9th genereation that wears the kilt in my clans family.
@@Waterford1992 probably can trace his line to a clan which has been proved to have taken part. not that hard. ofc he cant know 100% that his direct line was involved, unless he has some noble blood.
Your passion is amazing Ellie, I just love it! These are not just movies to you, but you are living the events as you watch them. This makes me live them to a greater degree than I did before, thank you!
Did you cry because it made a mockery of Scottish history? Like having them in kilts. Wearing tartan. Painting their faces. French Queen being 10 years old at the time. Or Braveheart being Robert The Bruce not Wallace?
Watching this through the eyes of a young person brings my back to my teenage years. This movie was amazing to a 15 year old me and now watching it again with her brings those teenage feelings back. If only for a short time. Thank you so much.
Nice, have hoped for this since i found your channel, this is my favourite movie of all time, saw it in the cinema as a young boy, cried so many times.... Love this movie
You misspelled "worse" A film set 200 years before the Scotts were wearing kilts and tartan, and Robert The Bruce was called Braveheart not Wallace. The French Queen was 10 years old at the time of Wallace's death. Wallace was known for burning alive English children, raping women and killing every Englishman he met. Young and old. Wallace never married. . Best movie ever made? Not even close.
The history is way of. They make Robert the Bruce look bad when really he was the one that gains victory over England. Robert one a couple battles. William only wins the battle of stirling bridge. It was on a bridge not a big open field like in the movie. As for love romance that’s also a bunch of BS.
@@yoehonjohn4832 - Yup... and there was never a single historical record of "prima nocta" actually being practiced. The only references to it are a playful wedding tradition. If the local lord attended a wedding and he claimed 'prima nocta', the groom was expected to defend his bride's honor by paying off the lord with a single coin (usually a penny).
Laughable costumes (it would be several centuries until anyone would wear a kilt. Conversely, the face paint is probably several centuries late). And laughable romance with the French princess (who was significantly younger than in the film and would probably have struggled to figure out what that "romance" thingie was all about to begin with if she'd been in Britain at all at the time)
“I’m skilled in the arts of war, and military tactic, Sire.” Not too skilled in the arts of landing there 😂 I know you don’t like Longshanks but you’d have to admit he is one of the best characters
Ellie might be my favorite person on the planet. Between tears and fury, she is the absolute best.
And always a smile in between.
I love how she really wears her heart on her sleeve.
Same! She's so pure and genuine.
She watched John Wick - 😱 - with her little dog beside her! I thought "Oh God, this is not gonna end well!!" 😭

His actual name or they are most certainly referring to was actually called Piers Gaveston and he was actually assigned to King Edward I eldest son also called Edward (subsequently after his fathers death from dysentery at Carlisle in 1307) became Edward II 1307-1327. When Edward found that Gaveston was so extravagant for Edward he was sent into exile to France by Edward I, when the king died Gaveston was taken out of exile and given the 1st Earl of Cornwall title that really pissed off his own nobility, to the point he was killed in 1327 (after Gaveston was killed by his nobility as well).
Hats off to Mel Gibson on the hard work he put in to this movie. Researching the story line of who William Wallace was, how William liberated Scotland from English rule, depicting how the cruel world worked back in the 13th century, picking the actors and cast members, music and cinematics, directing, filming, and playing the main character is beyond amazing .
This movie is in my top 5 best movies of all time. Still to this day gets me emotional.
Ikr never gets old to me
Same here. Mel Gibson's finest
It is #1.
As a Scotsman thank you for your reaction. We feel the same. Hope Michelle watches this too.
Loved her expression when the king threw the guy from the tower.
Ellie crying almost as hard as historians when they watched this movie.
Crying as hard as me every time the film audio keeps cutting out at the wrong moments
Because the film is made up. If you care about history or what is true, then you'll care that the film is a fairytale. You dont need to be a historian to care about real Scottish history.
yeah,hahahahaha,but,it was entertaining.
@@Skedaddlemahgaggle The movie wasn't sold as a fairytale. He'll, 300 actually was presented as a fantastical retelling and even that movie was probably more accurate than this.
@@buddabudda Yep. I hear you.
You are just about the most adorable woman with a lovely heart. As an Irishman, this was the fate of my Nation at the hands of the English for 700 years. They are gone now and Irelands people can breathe again.
Well, the Republic part at least. I'm curious, do you guys still consider those in Northern Ireland as "fully" Irish or has the long history of English colonization and intermarriage there plus the modern political separation made them more like one more set of distant Gaelic cousins within the UK rather than as your brothers/sisters?
@@SoSoKayla In my opinion the people in the North have a different mindset than those in the Republic. Ireland is a very accepting place with very liberal views, i do not believe the same exists in Northern Ireland.
They are gone??! It's sad to watch the political map of Ireland a seeing that big piece missing. But as Edward Longshanks wisely said "If you can't get them out, you can breed them out !!!;-)
Not as long as the Ullster counties belong to England. They come back, Ireland is whole and unified, one people again, then it’s over. Until that day, Ireland and Scotland still dream. And so do I.
@@SoSoKayla Those are the people that live there, it doesn't matter if their administration is in England or Ireland, it is their home. It's only a matter of semantics at this stage.
Dear Ellie, thank you so much for putting your true emotions out for us to see and share with you. I think you are the most amazing person on TH-cam. I am a regular guy here in the U.S. and I am with you every minute that I watch your reactions. You are a real sweetheart. God bless you...
I remember a Scottish mate of mine who was a sergeant in the Met Police. He said he saw this in a cinema in Glasgow and when they left, if there'd been a rack of claymores and a bus to London there'd have been a revolution.
I'm on board for that
Buaidh no bas!!
Yeah and thr English would have beat them like they usually do
When Michael Collins was shown in Ireland everyone was the same.

you get it, the range of human emotions it takes to be a good human being. Believe in something good for everyone, then fight to make those who would enslave to keep power, pay dearly for their mistake , I just love your take on the world.
Braveheart: A historical fairytale, taking so many liberties with the truth.
But it's a DAMNED good fairytale 💙
That's a great way to express it, aye :nods:.
Doesn't mean it didn't happen some where at one point on this earth.
@@ihavetubes ..lol...yep probably somewhere in the world at sometime over 400 years 🤷😅
Oh shut up and give us all peace. Pain in the backside.
Ellie is so invested, love your authentic feelings.
"If I swear to him, then all that I am is dead already."
"No, this is _not_ exactly true because if you live, when he is dead she will be the queen because his son is piece of s--t and, maybe you can kill him, and then the things can be better." Very pragmatic, Ellie.
"They fought like warrior poets, they fought like scotsmen and won their freedom".
🏴
And lost it again lol
This just might be your best reaction video to date. Well done Ellie! You showed true respect to one of the greatest movies of all time.
Many have commented on the historical inaccuracies of this movie. Let us set factual (or recorded by the victor, as mentioned in the opening) history aside for a moment and focus on it as just a story that is being told. This is an incredible story. The casting could not be better. The performance was superb by all the actors involved. The movie score fit the theme and tone of the movie. It was action, drama, political intrigue, romance. It made you happy, excited, anxious, horrified, angry, sad.... What more could you ask for?
I cried so many times during this movie, it's not just you
Pathetic the movie is.nonsense and not true it's full of errors from start to finish
I honestly can't watch this movie without getting choked up
Same here

This is one of my favorite movie of all time. It is a masterpiece, from the cinematography, the quotable lines and the beautiful soundtrack.
Yup it has everything. Love story. Amazing battle scenes. Amazing cinematography. Incredible soundtrack.

"Are they sleeping together?"
Not anymore lol
Exactly what I said when Ellie asked that :D :D

That's exactly what I was going to comment!
It seems we were all thinking the same thing lol
Lool 😂😂
I love her, she is so human so expressive , when she cry i want to cry and when she laugh or smile i want to laugh and smile too, so much humanity in her reaction.. great movie braveheart as well..
Great emotional reaction (exactly what I would have expected).
There is a Netflix-movie called "OUTLAW KING", which tells the story of "Robert the Bruce" and can be regarded as a sort of a sequel to the story of Wallace.
It’s a much slower movie...but at least more historically accurate
this was how almost everyone reacted to this movie when it came out ellie. just imagine seeing it in theatres. great movie. loved watching you watch it.
lol imagine being lucky enough too watch this movie in a theatre with Ellie,or maybe with Beautiful Ellies reaction to it,you would both have likely been thrown out of the quiet theartre lol,love her.
In fact Robert Bruce was called Braveheart, not Wallace, and princess Isabelle was only 13 when Wallace died so they wasn't lovers as the movie shows.
Remember never take Hollywood movies as historical facts but more for entertainment that is all
@@WillsonT011 I suppose that there are many lazy viewers who don't make after watching any research and take these films more serious😉
the movie is not meant to be historical. there are so many things wrong. but it did make wallace known worldwide.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Its just a movie man, but hey I know what u mean 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴✌
Ellie i love you girl, never seen such emotion from any person thats watched braveheart, now you know how we feel watching this movie, we are so proud to be Scottish. We love you.🏴🏴🏴
Robert the Bruce’s father is in charge. So Robert is in a situation where he wants to do what’s right, but must honor his father’s wishes as well.
Internal conflict
I am moved deeply in my heart to see your love for my home country scottland 😭❤
You have touched my soul with your tears snd emotions by crying for my home country scottland😭❤

If im in scottland one day in the future i will happily show you around❤ you will love scottland even more when your there seeing the country with your own eyes ❤
For the love and tears you have shown for my home country, i thank you from my very heart and soul😭❤
Fun fact: Robert The Bruce and “Mad Anthony” Wayne, an American revolutionary, inspired the name *Bruce Wayne* aka *Batman* 🦇
Wow great info
She made me cry man! She has real feelings!
Being drawn and quartered was a public way of execution like hanging was in more recent history.
Hung drawn and quarted was only for the worst of the worst seen by the crown.
The pain from being stretched is worse than the gutting.
26:05 "Is he qualified?"
- "I am skilled in the arts of secret backdoor negotiations and swordplay tactics, sire"
- "Very well, I will make you responsible for the development of our airborne tactical doctrine"
😂😂😂😂
Whereas factually speaking he is loosely based on a real person who was assigned by Edward I to his eldest son (also named Edward) household and his name was Piers Gaveston.
When Edward I found out they had feelings for each other (as Edward of Caernarfon or Caernarvon depending on the spelling in Welsh as he was born in Wales or Cymru pronounced cumry) he sent Piers Gaveston into exile in France, after Edward I death from dysentery at Carlisle in 1307 he (Edward II by that point) brought Gaveston out of exile when sometime after Gaveston was killed by Edward II nobility and then later on Edward II was killed also by his own nobility in Gloucestershire (even his wife turned on him as well).
That bear has gone through a lot lately...and the smile hasn’t left his face! 😉🧸
How many of us would be willing to switch places with the bear? I know I would. 😍
The bear was alive before the reaction.
R.I.P. bear (died by affixation 😂)
@ Magy will revive him again. 😉
If you were being held in Ellie's arms, you wouldn't care what else was happening either.
Hey, put me in the bear's place, with Ellie ... and I'll be smiling non-stop, too!
Simply loved your reaction! Pure emotion is what this movie brings out in you when you watch it, and feel it, and it delivers like very few others before or since.
One of my all time favorites
Her reaction made me feel it as if I was there. I got a lump in my throat and watery eyes just like when I saw this in theaters back when it came out and I was 25 lol! Wow man, I'll be 52 in a couple of days. Where did the years go?!
Everyone needs an Ellie in their life.
Outlaw King is a newer and far more accurate take on Braveheart story but also set just before the end of this one, stars Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce and was quite an entertaining film
Agreed. If you want a more accurate history version of Scotlands rebellion it’s outlaw king. Brave Heart is way of from actual history. The first big battle in the movie at stirling is way inaccurate. It was stirling bridge.
"We've got to try. You know what happens if we don't?"
"What?"
"Nothing."
I've always remembered that quote. It's a reminder that doing nothing has consequences too. Sometimes we're so afraid of taking risks that we forget that nothing changes if we don't. Nothing changes until someone changes it.
The actor playing Robert the Bruce was great as was Edward longshanks actor,Braveheart is a very good film.
Lol Ellie crying her eyes out again,gotta recommend a comedy I know:Caddyshack
There ya go. Perfect for her, a lot of visual humour.
That actor plays in a great underrated action movie with Christian Bell called Equilibrium
Not sure if you ever watched the Netflix Show “Turn” (I’d definitely recommend it, fantastic acting.) but Angus Macfadyen (Robert the Bruce) plays a Scottish Frontiersman and mercenary during the American war for Independence named Robert Rogers. His performance was absolutely stellar.
A very good film if you had no concern for actual history.
@@ohauss
Ikr the real William Wallace was a deranged religious kook who by today's standards would be considered a terrorist.
When this film came out 1995? I remember the history channel had a program on him to capitalize on this films success,Mel Gibson took ALOT of "creative liberties" which is a euphemism in American entertainment industry for outright lie.Gibson directed this as well.A decade later he did the same with PotC which I did not see.
I love the fact that this movie is 100% historically accurate. Such a great film and so absolutely true to the 700 year old source material. Everything about this movie is correct and awesome. They even filmed it the battle scenes on the actual battlefields and in the county where he grew up. You can even visit the spot at an Edinburgh castle where Longshanks threw his son's lover out the window. So cool how perfectly they got the love story between Wallace and the princess - and his relationship with Robert the Bruce is spot on.
My comments are sure to raise an uproar and I don't care. There are SO many folks that feel it is necessary to tell all of the rest of us how historically inaccurate this film really is...over and over and over again. I felt it was time to give a little bit of their nonsense back to them. It is SO tiring to see the same comments for Braveheart from one reviewer to the next, again and again. Who cares about historical accuracy? Good grief. The film is a magnificent, showpiece of drama, so let it be.
Lol
From crying to laughing to screaming at the characters all within a minute makes this the best reaction I've seen. Oh man, he's being taken to the gallows right now...I see her having a complete crying meltdown with what's coming next. Man, that ending analysis of her's was so spot on that I'm not sure anyone could've said it better. That idean is pretty relevant right now as millions of people ARE waking up and telling these monsters running almost every country to kiss their asses and it's time for them to leave.....for good.
Great reactions. Braveheart won the Oscar that year. It was a surprise because it had little warning that it was going to win big.
One of the greatest scores of ALL time. Emotion through music
your tears, then poor horses,, think i am in love! wipe those tears dear Ellie, as ugly as Humanity can be, it is also 100 times as beautiful when hero's rise, and love is found. Always keep your head high, and know each tear you ever shed, you shed with pure EMPATHY! Beautiful!!!!
If you ever visit my home town (Stirling) where the majority of this film takes place in and around id highly recommended visiting the Wallace monument. Its truly beautiful and gives you an amazing view of the castle and city.
Her empathy touched my heart and soul ♥
Incredible music in this. It really elevates the movie to a whole new level.
I just wanted to give this poor lassie a hug while she watched that! She was going through all the emotions 😂❤
Historical accuracy be damned this movie gets to me,it did when I first saw it 20+ years ago and still does to this day.Same with Saving Private Ryan,it doesn't matter how many times I watch it I still feel the same emotions as the first time I watched it.
0:04 "....and this is 'el profesor'.."
Dios mío es hermosaaaaaaa😍😍😍
As a native Spanish speaker that was: 😘😘😘😘😘
The way she started the video was one of the cutest ever
ELLIE: "At least it had a happy ending..."
**The 1707 Act of Union has entered the chat**
That is a happy ending though
Yeah, when you consider how disproportionate Scots were in running the British Empire, it is kind of like they used the English to conquer the world.
the ones who didnt cry during this movie has no hart. I remember watching it in theater and it was all tears. One of the most inspirational stories i deed
34:45 "Then belieeeeve!" hahaha, so funny and sweet
Ellie is my favorite Homie. It fills my heart to see a woman in touch with her feelings and express them.
If there are reaction Oscars this may win 'Best Picture' LOL ... the emotions!
did you see her react to The Princess Bride? There was child like joy.
Braveheart is in my Top 5 favorite movies of all time!!
Word of the day: Defenestration (26:01)
#TheMoreYouKnow
I LOVE her reactions, she’s so honest with her emotions, it’s awesome!
The scene where Wallace saw Robert the Bruce had betrayed him and Scotland and it defeated Wallace to the core hits me so hard every time
And never happened
In the fictional movie? yes it did. In actual history? of course not. Movie's aren't history.
Seriously the amount of times i saw her cry throughout this movie is the same amount of times i cry throughout this movie at the same scenes too and ngl we definitely have the saddest movie ever put to screen and ever made
King Edward was definitely a smart and cruel warrior king, but he was extremely successful, he became known as "the Leopard" (due to his coat of arms) and "the hammer of the Scots".
He was also over 6 feet tall, a good height for the time
Hence why they called him Longshanks, his height :P
*reads comment, shrugs* Nah, fuck that piece of shit.
His son who became Edward II was also slightly more than 6'2 and described as muscular built

“ your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.”
Great movie. Loved it. It had everything, even a small bit of comedy.
I don't live in Scotland or the UK, but somehow knowing that Scotland is still part of the UK doesn't sit well with me ... especially since their vote to leave the UK was so close, then a year later the UK votes to leave the EU, meaning Scotland leaves the EU. Scotland wanted to re vote because of this, but weren't allowed... something so wrong about the whole situation. Just doesn't sit well with me.
England's queen died without children around 1600, and her uncontested heir was the King of Scotland. With this, the two countries' monarchies became a single line of succession. After some political maneuvering, the countries merged about 100 years later. So they have 3 or 4 centuries of being a single nation. That's a lot of history to break with.
It doesn't sit well with me that the English aren't allowed to have a vote and free themselves from having to pay for and subsiduse the sponging Scots. Screw Nicola Sturgeon. Freedom for England.

As a Scot who's cried many times over this movie,I love your own reaction and your comments were wonderful
Did you cry because it made a mockery of Scottish history?
Like having them in kilts.
Wearing tartan.
Painting their faces.
French Queen being 10 years old at the time.
Or Braveheart being Robert The Bruce not Wallace?
@@peterdemkiw3280Triggered over a movie lol
Watching this through the eyes of a young person brings my back to my teenage years. This movie was amazing to a 15 year old me and now watching it again with her brings those teenage feelings back. If only for a short time. Thank you so much.
Nice, have hoped for this since i found your channel, this is my favourite movie of all time, saw it in the cinema as a young boy, cried so many times.... Love this movie
One of the best movies ever made, and the music is so beautiful
You misspelled "worse"
A film set 200 years before the Scotts were wearing kilts and tartan, and Robert The Bruce was called Braveheart not Wallace. The French Queen was 10 years old at the time of Wallace's death.
Wallace was known for burning alive English children, raping women and killing every Englishman he met. Young and old.
Wallace never married. .
Best movie ever made? Not even close.
I worked on Braveheart when it set in Ireland.
Everyone should revisit this film these days. It's lessons are being quickly forgotten.
Good lessons, but almost no historical accuracy whatsoever.
The history is way of. They make Robert the Bruce look bad when really he was the one that gains victory over England. Robert one a couple battles. William only wins the battle of stirling bridge. It was on a bridge not a big open field like in the movie. As for love romance that’s also a bunch of BS.
@@yoehonjohn4832 - Yup... and there was never a single historical record of "prima nocta" actually being practiced.
The only references to it are a playful wedding tradition. If the local lord attended a wedding and he claimed 'prima nocta', the groom was expected to defend his bride's honor by paying off the lord with a single coin (usually a penny).
@@Mr.Ekshin thats right
Laughable costumes (it would be several centuries until anyone would wear a kilt. Conversely, the face paint is probably several centuries late).
And laughable romance with the French princess (who was significantly younger than in the film and would probably have struggled to figure out what that "romance" thingie was all about to begin with if she'd been in Britain at all at the time)
You let out the best line, "I am not a liar, but I am a barbarian."
“I’m skilled in the arts of war, and military tactic, Sire.” Not too skilled in the arts of landing there 😂
I know you don’t like Longshanks but you’d have to admit he is one of the best characters
