Braveheart is a top 10 movie of all time. I still remember watching this movie when I was like 12 and coming to the conclusion that this man had a bunch of different characteristics that made him about as close to the perfect man you could get.
They would have killed everybody at the wedding if she hadn't gone peacefully. And they would have ended up hurting her anyway. At least she got to save her husband and everybody else. It's awful what happened to these poor people!
I'm Scottish,from Glasgow and this is still my favourite film of all time. I know it's not even close to being historically accurate but it's a film, not a documentary. I've been watching films now for over 45 years and I'd consider myself to fairly well educated in all aspects of movie-making and I've yet to see any film before or since this have such authentic and realistic battle scenes.
im mostly scottish sadly that wasnt the last of suffering and pain we went after there were many masscres and after culludeon there was masscre where there entire clans wiped out and genocide and a wipe out of scottish culture followed so many people escaped to the north england
@paigeandmiamagicbeautygirl2988 your mostly scottish?. So not scottish! Do you live in Scotland? We're you born in scotland? Stop trying to claim shit that isn't yours to claim. The amount of americans I've heard saying "I'm scottish". Oh really! Where in scotland were you born then. Just because your great x10 grandparent was scottish doesn't make you scottish. End of. I'm scottish. I have scottish history. I was born here and I live here.
Unfortunately they never really gained their freedom from England. My ancestors are Scotts, English, French and German but I am American first, last and always.
So many people misunderstand 9:50, its the opposite. Be a farmer then you can clap my daughters cheeks. He doesn't want his daughter harmed in retaliation from the enemy if he is a fighter or for her to be a widow.
I can answer at least 2 of your questions. Yes, beating the crap out of each other growing up was common and a form of "playing". My mother was from Scotland, and the "spare the rod and spoil the child" mindset is embedded in the culture. I was by no means abused, my mother was a very loving woman, but I had a very healthy fear of consequences, which is what is seriously lacking in today's society. I did visit Scotland, and it was absolutely beautiful! Do yourself a favor and look up "Military Tattoo" from Edinburgh, and give that a listen! Amazing pipe and drum corps!
Yeah because it's mostly small towns we don't have have a lot to do so yeah fighting each other from different towns were the norm that or under age drugs and alcohol use
I can agree up to a point on “ spare the Rod Spoil the child “ but I never hit my children at all , I sat them down and explained the reason why they were being punished “ naughty step “ , taking their favourite toy for a time or grounding . Grounding being an important concept that goes beyond the being kept in doors and not allowed to go out to play with your friends as a punishment 🤗❤️🏴
Yes, I visited Edinburgh and Loch Ness in Scotland in April, 2023. The landscape was amazing. Funny enough, everyone rips on Scottish food, but I didn’t have one bad meal there.
The score for BraveHeart was composed by James Horner, also known for Titanic (1997), The Mask Of Zorro (1998) and many others.

My husband and I visited Scotland and it was a dream come true for me. Beautiful scenery, nice people. I would love to go back. I cried when I walked into the airport in Edinburgh and realized I was really there.
Yeah, they were just playing. And yes, Gibson was the lead in The Patriot. And ya gotta realize things happened here and now back then. Things were very different, so love had to happen fast. The statement was, "You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me."
I just found your channel and loved this review. This movie has a huge spot in my heart, as does the Patriot. I’m Scottish by blood (Clan Logan) and I had a chance to go to Scotland a few years back. It will forever be my third “home.” I will never forget that trip.
Phenomenal movie, based loosely on the life of William Wallace. I have lost count of the amount of times I've watched this movie, and it's my number one movie of all time, because I'm Scottish.
“…Excellent!!!” -Stephen I enjoy your reactions, there bromigo. Thanks for the perspective and the laughs. Keep on keeping on and Gritos from Tejas. “ *MY* *ISLAND* !!!”
I've been to Scotland twice. The first time was in the highlands on a wedding. The nature is so gorgeous. The hills, the lakes. Saw loch Ness. Didn't see Nessie though 😂
I have quite alot of Scottish ancestry along with Irish and Welsh (from Clan MacKenzie) Chief Iian MacKenzie helped lead 500 MacKenzies in the Battle of Bannockburn defeating the English. Proud of my Scottish roots. The sound of the bagpipes always brings me to tears. The Vikings were brutal back centuries ago as we all know but they were warned to never go near the shores of the Scots as we were even crazier than them. I'm descended from the highland clans with castle Eilean Donan and Castle Leod both being in my lineage.
Oh!! And The Messenger about Joan of arc. Stunning! The cast is amazing. What Dreams May Come is a little off this topic but another goody! Literally moving through heaven and hell for love. ❤
Scotland is absolutely stunning. Edinburgh is beautiful, the highlands are stunning. There's nothing quite like it. It's one of those places I visited not really expecting it to be as beautiful as it was, but it astounded me and it's now one of those places I would go back to in a heartbeat because I KNOW I barely saw any of it.
Speaking of the initial "clash" of battle, there is a saying from a book called The Hagakure (Japan)....."A Samurai goes into battle the same way a hawk takes a dove. Though it flies into thousands,it pays no attention other than the one it has marked".
Rob Roy is another Scottish historical film that came out the same year as Braveheart, and as a result was MASSIVELY overlooked. It stars Liam Neeson, John Hurt, Jessica Lange and Tim Roth. Tim got a well-deserved Oscar nod (his only one I think) for playing one of the best villians I've ever seen on screen. It's WELL worth a watch.
This is such a glorious movie. I was lucky that I grew up watching these movies with my dad. Please watch The Patriot it was amazing too. Good july movie idea for you
I've visited Scotland- The countryside is exactly what you see in the movie. (Of course, the cities are more like Trainspotting...) If you're a fan of the Braveheart soundtrack, check out Afro-Celt Sound System sometime. Their first album is full of this kind of stuff.
If you’re talking about the Irish madman (“It’s my island!”), that’s David O’Hara. He’s actually Scottish. He was unrecognizable in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”. He played Albert Runcorn, an employee from The Ministry of Magic, as well as Harry Potter disguised as Runcorn. He was also in a movie called “The Matchmaker”, with Janeane Garofalo. He plays an Irishman in that one too. It’s a charming romcom, although I wish it didn’t have such an abundance of profanity.
Another great real classic movie with incredible film scenery in Ireland is THE QUIET MAN with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Great love story good action and great story. 1952 in color great movie
Awesome reaction. This was one of my favorite films growing up. Mel Gibson is one of the greatest actors ever in my opinion. Also, they're splitting him apart at the end. It's an old torture device they used to do. They cut you open then pull your intestines out and wind them around thorns and they crank a wheel that pulls them out while they wrap around they stick off thorns. Something like that. Also, why aren't you gonna watch the passion of the christ on here? You really should. It's one of the most amazingly well done movies ever I think. Jim Caviezel is amazing in that movie. Truly incredible performance. He actually got struck by lightning while he was in the cross. Pretty wild if you think about it. He also got hit again I think and had pneumonia while he was up there. Guy is a beast.
This movie will always be great, glad you liked it. I think you’ll enjoy these iMovies! Little Miss Sunshine Anna and the King Dunkirk What we do in the Shadows
The execution of William Wallace was the most accurate part of the movie. The beginning was also pretty accurate. The rest was pretty much completely made up.
Depends what you call the beginning. Wallace was actually a noble to begin with, not a poor child/farmer and all that. Makes for a great movie ofc, and thats the goal.
hi, i’m from Scotland and Braveheart ranks high in my favourite films. My first 4 fave films are the planet of the apes reboot Rise, Dawn, War starring Andy Serkis as Caesar and the new one of the franchise Kingdom. The greatest trilogy of all time. Have you seen them? maybe you can review them sometime it would be greatly appreciated and you wouldn’t be disappointed in them at all. Back to Braveheart though it isn’t factually accurate it’s still an amazing film and makes me proud to be a Scot. In Stirling there is the Wallace monument that you can visit. It was built to keep a part of his body after he was cut to pieces after being hung, drawn and quartered by the english. His sword is on display there too. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this movie. Take care and thanks for watching it. 😘🏴 #FREEDOM🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I’m just glad Charles dance only ever played an iron fisted leader. If he ever did it for real, he’d make vlad the impaler look like a tattoo artist. A little Tywin here, a little vetinari there… shudder
The Scottish "war pipes" are the most sorrowful sounding instrument ever made... respect.🔥they didn't play back then.. most likely they castrated him.. disemboweled him and showed him his guts while he was awake... before beheading him and pulled him apart with horses.....no play zone😅
Losing a parent is devastating...i lost my mom suddenly 2 weeks ago tomorrow...its so unreal and when my dad called me to tell me she was gone i fell to my knees in the kitchen crying and screeming why her 😢
I know the feeling it's the worst feeling ever I woke up earlier than I ever have to a text saying ma mum had died I genuinely just sat there in silence I couldn't speak breathe move or cry honestly the worst thing anyone can experience
I would follow a leader like William Wallace was in real life ... btw he was a noble from birth .... 🤫 PS : The execution scene is pretty accurate..... was what happened to him in real life .... They are pulling hes "guts" out of hes stommach ....... 🤪 "You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me !" EPIC LINE !
Another movie I would recommend in regards to the Scottish rebellion that is more accurate is outlaw king. It’s about what happens after Wallace was murdered. Also a series you might like is outlander. I mainly just recommend the first 3 seasons. It’s about the Jacobite rebellion which was the last rebellions made against the English. I love anything about Scotland it’s my heritage and we are very proud people
16:13 your talking about it an hour in and only feels like 25mins….Mel Gibson said the movie moves that fast when they done what felt like the final edit the movie was 4hrs long and they really struggled to cut another hour out (he’s thinking about releasing the full version because of the love for the film)
This movie is fantasy based on fact. The film takes place 300 years before it was common for Scots to wear kilts, they didn't paint their faces blue, there was no French princess love affair, the battle of Sterling was on a bridge not out in an open field and even the name of the movie attributed to Wallace is false. Robert the Bruce was known as Braveheart, not Wallace. Still a fun film though.
In the scene where wallace tells murron that he loves her and wants to marry her, TH-cam reactors are always surprised at how fast hes moving because they think in terms of modern dating practices. The idea of multiple long-term relationships before settling down is a very new concept. Until very recently life was a REAL struggle, life spans were short, and many children died in infancy. There was no time to "find the right person" or "wait until it feels right".
Let's break this down for you… As accurately portrayed, William was the second son of a minor Scottish noble. In such a position, it is the norm for all sons to be schooled in the art of warfare, and William, bein g a particularly large and robust fella for the time, was trained to be a bowman. Indeed, his letter-seal ring bore the emblem of an archer. Also, it was common that the first-born would become the heir to the estate and title of the father and the second-born would to go to the church. William therefore, was sent to the High School of Dundee to learn Divinity. It was during that time that Edward of England first invaded and seized Scotland's castles, completing a successful occupation and slamming Scotland rightful King, John Balliol in the Tower of London. The situation in the towns was not pleasant, with English occupying soldiers mistreating the local population. One particularly problematic individual was the son of the occupying English Sheriff of Dundee, Marcus De Selby, who fancied himself a bit of a bully boy. He would pick on locals just outside the castle gates where he was assured of protection from the English soldiers present. Of course, being young and hot-headed (at 17 years of age) William and his peers didn't much appreciate this situation. One day, as William strode through the streets of Dundee in his olive-green suit, he was himself accosted by De Selby and two of his "heavies", who demanded of him; "Where does a low-life Scot like you get such a fine dirk?", referring to the 16" jewelled dagger on his belt. William responded, "Would you like to see it?", immediately drawing the weapon and plunging its blade into the chest of De Selby! The lad dropped to the ground and the the two accomplices took to their heels, running into the castle and raising the alarm. William took off down Dundee's Murraygate and into the mediaeval labyrinth that was the Wellgate with English soldiers hot on his heels. He dashed into a tavern known as 'The Ladywell' and sat himself down on a stone bench in front of which stood a spinning wheel. Throwing a blanket over his head, William began peddling the wheel. When the English soldiers barged in through the door, they saw an old woman spinning in the wheel and demanded of the barkeep: "The boy, which way"? The man pointed at the back door and out the soldiers ran! William made his way out through the city gates by horse and cart, still hooded by his blanket. He made it out west along the Carse of Gowrie to his aunt's cottage, where he sat on a stone butter churn and drank some milk before then making his way south to the Forests of Ettrick to join other disaffected Scots keen on avenging Scotland's occupation. There he was joined by his friends, Stephen and Faudron as well as a monk from Dundee. Jack Short became his manservant. Together with a band of marauders they raided the baggage trains of the English who were stripping Scotland of her most valuable documents and cultural icons. Not least the Stone of Destiny which was also taken to London. William and his men also conducted guerilla raids on English patrols, causing considerable alarm among their numbers, yet he was always able to escape disguised by his plaid hood. Because of this, the English took to referring to him as "The Robbing Hoodlum". However, one fateful day, William escaped an English patrol by running through a house. The English soldiers saw where he went and killed all in the house. Marion Braidfute, William's woman, was among them. On another occasion, William's father and brother were captured and put to death. Soon thereafter, William was joined by notable Scottish knight Andrew De Moray and together they planned a battle engagement at Stirling Bridge, at which they were victorious. Unfortunately, Andrew, who should really have been credited with the victory, was fatally wounded and died later of his injuries. This catapulted William into the spotlight and saw him knighted and declared High Guardian of Scotland… at just eighteen years of age! In his office, William worked to drive the English out of Scotland's castles, with notable success. He also reopened trade links with numerous European countries. Unfortunately, William was betrayed by Jack Short and captured by the English, dragged to London, put through a mock trial, condemned to death and then went through the horrors of hanging, drawing and quartering. No, there was no affair with a French princess, as interesting as that may have been! With William dead, the country erupted and Robert Bruce was declared King. He began a lengthy campaign to eradicate the English from Scotland, initially suffering a series of defeats and betrayals but eventually winning his first set piece battle at Loudon Hill… which is portrayed very well in the follow-up movie "Outlaw/King", which was filmed right on the spot of the original battle. That movie is considerably more historically accurate than Braveheart. It introduces you to Sir James Douglas who becomes another Wallace-like notable fighting figure. Robert led the Scots to a spectacular ultimate victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Many years later, Sir James Douglas would go on crusade into Spain to face the Moors, carrying the heart of King Robert Bruce in a lead casket. As he charged into battle, he launched the casket at the Moors and shouted "Onward, brave heart!" List of Scottish movies by historical Chronological order... The Eagle: about the disappearance of the Roman Ninth Legion in ancient Caledonia. Any movie about Merlin, Arthur or Robin Hood (William Wallace)- but usually highly embellished with Hollywoodesque nonsense. The Bruce: Angus McFadyen (Braveheart's Robert Bruce) returns to tell of a perdiod in The Bruce's recovery and rise to the crown. Outlaw/King... Effectively Braveheart part 2, telling more of the story after Wallace's death. Rob Roy: True story of Robert Roy MacGregor, a 17th century Highland folk hero defending an ancient Scottish tradition. Stone of Destiny: True story of the theft of the Stone of Scone from London 700 years after Edward of England stole it from the Scots. Trainspotting and Trainspotting 2: Semi-fictional story of a youth surviving drug addiction and the vaguearies of friendship in run-down Edinburgh.
Historical note: The name "Braveheart" was never used for William Wallace, but Robert the Bruce (the guy who asked "... now bleed with me"). In reality he never betrayed William Wallace. The two were like besties. But as a Scottish noble Bruce had no real choice but to do his duty to the English king. In the end he was the one who freed Scotland and ruled afterwards as king of Scots. But before that he was hunted like an outlaw by the English and he was pretty badass, according to some sources. (I recommend you watch "Outlaw King", which does a better job portaying Robert the Bruce, the real Braveheart.)
This is my favorite movie of all times and I’ve watched so many reactions about it, and I can easily say that yours is my favorite! Keep up the good work! 🫶🏻
I am currently at stirling University and can see the wallace monument right now as im typing this

I think Tommy Flanagan played the crazy one. He was one of favorites on the movie.
No I think he plays the husband of the wife who’s taken on their wedding day.

I've never been to Scotland, I would love to visit one day. But I live in New Zealand, some of that scenery is very similar.
My number two all-time behind Predator. This movie is so fricking awesome.
They had to hide a lot of Wallace death as would be to graphic to show in it's full "glory. To be honest it would be to gory for the SAW franchise.
It would have been too graphic for the "Faces of Death" franchise....

I know the feeling it's the worst feeling ever I woke up earlier than I ever have to a text saying ma mum had died I genuinely just sat there in silence I couldn't speak breathe move or cry honestly the worst thing anyone can experience
`Michael Collins` is the Irish version of Braveheart, Brenden Gleeson 'Hamish' gets too show off his violin skills and all
41:52 They actually disembodied him (they shut open his abdomen, pulled out his intestines and BURNED THEM IN FR9NT OF HIM!!)
Disemboweled. Although I suppose his soul and spirit were disembodied shortly after that.

Not the most accurate film but i love my country and love this film
All time favorite! Passion of Christ is 1st of course. Mel Gibson is a great actor and producer... I put him on my list with Mr. Shymalan.
Officially the most beautiful country in the world!
Apocolypto!!! (Directed by Mel Gibson) ...must watch.
Am from scotland edinburgh
Me too , left a week before I was 16 , through no fault of my own , family problems. My heart remains in Edinburgh for ever
Great reaction. Checkmate! 😂
Couple of recommendations for you.
Last Of The Mohicans
Snatch
Tombstone
Meet Joe Black
Silence of the Lambs
You should definitely watch The Patriot! Another amazing Mel Gibson movie!
I would follow a leader like William Wallace was in real life ... btw he was a noble from birth .... 🤫
PS : The execution scene is pretty accurate..... was what happened to him in real life ....
They are pulling hes "guts" out of hes stommach ....... 🤪
"You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me !" EPIC LINE !
Another movie I would recommend in regards to the Scottish rebellion that is more accurate is outlaw king. It’s about what happens after Wallace was murdered. Also a series you might like is outlander. I mainly just recommend the first 3 seasons. It’s about the Jacobite rebellion which was the last rebellions made against the English. I love anything about Scotland it’s my heritage and we are very proud people
You have bled with WALLACE now bleed with me. - Robert the Bruce
My heart is beating fast, im enjoying this
Watch Trainspotting set in Edinburgh in the 90's, during techno club era, gritty and truly funny! Ewan McGregor first movie
16:13 your talking about it an hour in and only feels like 25mins….Mel Gibson said the movie moves that fast when they done what felt like the final edit the movie was 4hrs long and they really struggled to cut another hour out (he’s thinking about releasing the full version because of the love for the film)
Oooh, I would watch the hell out of a reaction of yours on The Patriot
This movie is fantasy based on fact. The film takes place 300 years before it was common for Scots to wear kilts, they didn't paint their faces blue, there was no French princess love affair, the battle of Sterling was on a bridge not out in an open field and even the name of the movie attributed to Wallace is false. Robert the Bruce was known as Braveheart, not Wallace. Still a fun film though.
🏴🏴🏴🏴 Freedom
In the scene where wallace tells murron that he loves her and wants to marry her, TH-cam reactors are always surprised at how fast hes moving because they think in terms of modern dating practices. The idea of multiple long-term relationships before settling down is a very new concept. Until very recently life was a REAL struggle, life spans were short, and many children died in infancy. There was no time to "find the right person" or "wait until it feels right".
Yeah boy 🏴❤️
Aye. It holds up.
Let's break this down for you…
As accurately portrayed, William was the second son of a minor Scottish noble. In such a position, it is the norm for all sons to be schooled in the art of warfare, and William, bein g a particularly large and robust fella for the time, was trained to be a bowman. Indeed, his letter-seal ring bore the emblem of an archer. Also, it was common that the first-born would become the heir to the estate and title of the father and the second-born would to go to the church. William therefore, was sent to the High School of Dundee to learn Divinity.
It was during that time that Edward of England first invaded and seized Scotland's castles, completing a successful occupation and slamming Scotland rightful King, John Balliol in the Tower of London. The situation in the towns was not pleasant, with English occupying soldiers mistreating the local population. One particularly problematic individual was the son of the occupying English Sheriff of Dundee, Marcus De Selby, who fancied himself a bit of a bully boy. He would pick on locals just outside the castle gates where he was assured of protection from the English soldiers present. Of course, being young and hot-headed (at 17 years of age) William and his peers didn't much appreciate this situation.
One day, as William strode through the streets of Dundee in his olive-green suit, he was himself accosted by De Selby and two of his "heavies", who demanded of him; "Where does a low-life Scot like you get such a fine dirk?", referring to the 16" jewelled dagger on his belt. William responded, "Would you like to see it?", immediately drawing the weapon and plunging its blade into the chest of De Selby! The lad dropped to the ground and the the two accomplices took to their heels, running into the castle and raising the alarm.
William took off down Dundee's Murraygate and into the mediaeval labyrinth that was the Wellgate with English soldiers hot on his heels. He dashed into a tavern known as 'The Ladywell' and sat himself down on a stone bench in front of which stood a spinning wheel. Throwing a blanket over his head, William began peddling the wheel.
When the English soldiers barged in through the door, they saw an old woman spinning in the wheel and demanded of the barkeep: "The boy, which way"? The man pointed at the back door and out the soldiers ran!
William made his way out through the city gates by horse and cart, still hooded by his blanket. He made it out west along the Carse of Gowrie to his aunt's cottage, where he sat on a stone butter churn and drank some milk before then making his way south to the Forests of Ettrick to join other disaffected Scots keen on avenging Scotland's occupation.
There he was joined by his friends, Stephen and Faudron as well as a monk from Dundee. Jack Short became his manservant. Together with a band of marauders they raided the baggage trains of the English who were stripping Scotland of her most valuable documents and cultural icons. Not least the Stone of Destiny which was also taken to London.
William and his men also conducted guerilla raids on English patrols, causing considerable alarm among their numbers, yet he was always able to escape disguised by his plaid hood. Because of this, the English took to referring to him as "The Robbing Hoodlum". However, one fateful day, William escaped an English patrol by running through a house. The English soldiers saw where he went and killed all in the house. Marion Braidfute, William's woman, was among them. On another occasion, William's father and brother were captured and put to death.
Soon thereafter, William was joined by notable Scottish knight Andrew De Moray and together they planned a battle engagement at Stirling Bridge, at which they were victorious. Unfortunately, Andrew, who should really have been credited with the victory, was fatally wounded and died later of his injuries. This catapulted William into the spotlight and saw him knighted and declared High Guardian of Scotland… at just eighteen years of age!
In his office, William worked to drive the English out of Scotland's castles, with notable success. He also reopened trade links with numerous European countries. Unfortunately, William was betrayed by Jack Short and captured by the English, dragged to London, put through a mock trial, condemned to death and then went through the horrors of hanging, drawing and quartering. No, there was no affair with a French princess, as interesting as that may have been!
With William dead, the country erupted and Robert Bruce was declared King. He began a lengthy campaign to eradicate the English from Scotland, initially suffering a series of defeats and betrayals but eventually winning his first set piece battle at Loudon Hill… which is portrayed very well in the follow-up movie "Outlaw/King", which was filmed right on the spot of the original battle. That movie is considerably more historically accurate than Braveheart. It introduces you to Sir James Douglas who becomes another Wallace-like notable fighting figure.
Robert led the Scots to a spectacular ultimate victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Many years later, Sir James Douglas would go on crusade into Spain to face the Moors, carrying the heart of King Robert Bruce in a lead casket. As he charged into battle, he launched the casket at the Moors and shouted "Onward, brave heart!"
List of Scottish movies by historical Chronological order...
The Eagle: about the disappearance of the Roman Ninth Legion in ancient Caledonia.
Any movie about Merlin, Arthur or Robin Hood (William Wallace)- but usually highly embellished with Hollywoodesque nonsense.
The Bruce: Angus McFadyen (Braveheart's Robert Bruce) returns to tell of a perdiod in The Bruce's recovery and rise to the crown.
Outlaw/King... Effectively Braveheart part 2, telling more of the story after Wallace's death.
Rob Roy: True story of Robert Roy MacGregor, a 17th century Highland folk hero defending an ancient Scottish tradition.
Stone of Destiny: True story of the theft of the Stone of Scone from London 700 years after Edward of England stole it from the Scots.
Trainspotting and Trainspotting 2: Semi-fictional story of a youth surviving drug addiction and the vaguearies of friendship in run-down Edinburgh.
Top 5 all time! Please check out The Patriot. Another good one!
Amazing movie ❤
Historical note: The name "Braveheart" was never used for William Wallace, but Robert the Bruce (the guy who asked "... now bleed with me"). In reality he never betrayed William Wallace. The two were like besties. But as a Scottish noble Bruce had no real choice but to do his duty to the English king. In the end he was the one who freed Scotland and ruled afterwards as king of Scots. But before that he was hunted like an outlaw by the English and he was pretty badass, according to some sources. (I recommend you watch "Outlaw King", which does a better job portaying Robert the Bruce, the real Braveheart.)
Just subbed.
This is my favorite movie of all times and I’ve watched so many reactions about it, and I can easily say that yours is my favorite! Keep up the good work! 🫶🏻
Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom, bro!
Life happens Mark, it’s ok! Thank you though!
