This movie definitely takes creative liberties, and some of it is definitely historically inaccurate, but it's still an EXCELLENT movie. James Horner's music score is absolutely perfect. This descendant of Clan Stewart is happy you guys finally got around to watching it.

We agree, a fabulous movie that I wish I had seen earlier!! Oh man the music is phenomenal and very tear jerking! Glad you enjoyed watching along with us 😊

This bit was too much for me 😥 so special. Wish I had seen this film earlier!

[@alisonscott1469]

The irish guy Stephan was an irish noble man who was thrown out of ireland which is why he kept saying My Ireland. Did you know when Scotland was going to try and get independence from the UK and support ourself there was a yes no vote which the yes vote lost by 2%. One of the things that was banned during it was showing the movie Braveheart incase it gave the Scots ideas and the tv show Outlander about the Jacobite uprising was banned at that time too which is crazy to me. Take care 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Ah this makes so much sense 😂 his character was supeeeer confusing.. I remember the vote but didn't realise they banned the film during this time. wow! It is definitely an inspiring film so I can see why they wouldn't want to promote it during this time, crazy😂

Thanks John, I definitely got teary at the flower scene but it was such an emotional roller-coaster! Lost it completely in those end few scenes 😭 Great film all round!

If you enjoyed Braveheart and it created a desire to know more about the story, I’m yet to come across anyone who’s done a reaction to Robert the Bruce’s movie Outlaw King with Chris Pine and Florence Pugh. A brilliant modern continuation of this story!

Oh this sounds right up our alley! We have added to the list!

It was so interesting to see it from the British and Scottish perspective. You guys were fun to watch. This is one of my favorite movies. You guys are so cute together.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Aww thank you! It really was a fun watch with us being on opposing sides 😅 but all in all we both loved this film! What other films would you like to see?

[@AmandaTuI-u2f]

I would recommend Outlaw King it’s like a sequel and I think it’s better. It portrays Edward the prince more real than his. Edward was just as brutal as his dad he wasn’t as talented military which the movie shows

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Ah yes! I was thinking after we saw this we need a Robert The Bruce centric film so will have to give it a go soon! I (Harry) love all the medieval style films so very keen to give this one a view! Thank you for commenting to let us know and for being here!

The soundtrack to this movie is awesome. Being from the USA and have traveled all over Scotland through the many decades. I have always enjoyed seeing those places in history where the actual real battles took place as seen in the movie.

We also love to travel to where the real events happen from the historical events. Did you visit these sites when you visited Scotland?

[@silvioantoniopatinoportill8717]

I met William Wallace in the eighties, in an episode of the BBC series called "History of the English-Speaking Peoples", based on a work by Winston Churchill. I always thought that someone should make a movie about such an interesting character. Mel Gibson granted me that wish.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Woah that's crazy, bit of a shame since Scotland is so stunning!

[@alisonscott1469]

Hi, looking forward to your reaction. This is my first time watching your reactions. Braveheart makes me do proud to be Scottish despite the films inaccuracies eg the french princess was 9 when the real William Wallace was around. The battle for Stirling bridge was won because of the bridge not a field. But it’s still an amazing film. The real William was did lose his wife to English soldiers and he was executed that way by being hung, drawn, ( stretched till limbs popped) and quartered (disembowelled ) then beheaded, then torn to pieces. A part of his body was sent to Scotland as a warning to quell the Scottish but it had the opposite effect. There is the Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland not far from where i live which you can got to the top of. It sits next to Stirling castle and it holds William Wallace’s sword on display. It originally held the body part that was sent back to Scotland. Robert the Bruce has a statue at Bannockburn. The battle after Wallace’s death in 1314. William Wallace is still known as the high protector of Scotland. I hope you enjoy this film. I’m gonna stop commenting and watch your reaction. Take care 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Hey! Thanks so much for being here and for this background info too! It's definitely a movie to be proud of even with the inaccuracies like you say, but its about more than the details, its portraying an important message and idea that all Scots should be proud of, and anyone who values freedom and overthrowing oppression! We really hope you enjoy watching this with us Alison and hopefully will be able to see you on future videos too!

[@wolfie35p]

Braveheart, my favourite movie of all time, because I'm Scottish. Based very loosely on the life or Guardian and High Protector of Scotland William Wallace. William Wallace and the Princess of Wales were not of the same age, she was only a kid when Willian was older. If you think about it this way...just like the 6 Nations Rugby tournament, the Irish, hate the English, just as much as the Scottish lol.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

It is such a beautiful film but yeah a shame it isn't 100% accurate. I (Lauren) am a kiwi so always love a rugby reference 😅

[@emultra759]

Mel Gibson's The Patriot (2000) is a bit of a spiritual sequel to this, dealing with the American Revolutionary War. Check it out! Great performances by Gibson himself, Jason Isaacs, Heath Ledger, Tom Wilkinson, and Tchéky Karyo.

I saw this 30 years ago in the theaters I came out of the theater thinking I just saw my eras Lawrence Of Arabia. 30 years later this film still resonates with the young and older alike. As I said it's up there with Spartacus and Lawrence of Arabia. It's truly a masterpiece in every way.

Longshanks (Edward I) invaded and subjugated the Welsh before attempting to do the same to the Scots.

They were more French than English, descendants of the Angevins. They even held court in France.

I remember when this came out it did well critically and finically and most people in Scotland and England hated it because it made the English look bad and Scottish people said mel gibson accent was bad or not that good but it's only in the last 10 yrs that people are giving it more respect even tho it's basically fiction it uses real people historical events and bends them very much but this movie has always slapped 80s and 90s mel gibson was firing on all cylinders like Tom hanks they couldn't miss glad he is getting more respect recently absolute classic movie just great

[@Flix-n-Feels]

We thoroughly enjoyed it. It may take some liberties here and there but the essence of the movie is what makes it great in our opinion 😊A persons struggle for what they believe in versus a tyrannical and powerful opponent. They translate this into the conflict between Scotland and England but they could do it for any situation and it would resonate similarly. It just so happens that there is a wealth of interesting characters in this time period to attach it to. I think most now days understand that it doesn't have to be overly accurate to be a great story 😊 Thank you so much for being here and inputting to our channel! We really appreciate it!

Not quite as historical as Winnie The Pooh.

[@michaeldavis5610]

Thanks for giving a great film the great reaction it deserved.Have a great weekend !

[@Flix-n-Feels]

[@NoLongerMyFellowDJ]

my reaction after seeing this pop up on my feed screaming to my partner "THEY HAVENT SEEN BRAVEHEART!!! WTFFFF" lol :P i cannot believe it!!!! its such a classic, youll be straight on amazon buying some blue face paint!!!! FOR FREEEEDDDDOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!! Great video guys!

[@Flix-n-Feels]

I feel a bit embarrassed to have never seen it given how much I love all things Scottish!! Also noticed afterwards how much Harry matched in with the colours 😂

[@chocolate-teapot]

As historically accurate as the Teletubbies

[@Flix-n-Feels]

are you trying to tell me you don't think the Teletubbies are real?..

[@chocolate-teapot]

@@Flix-n-Feels they are terrifyingly real, when you've been doing mushrooms 🍄 all the secrets to the universe are revealed

[@DB-stuff]

While they mashed history / timelines together, and added quite a lot that simply did not happen the battles and outcomes happened. A much better and more historically accurate movie is Chris Pines " Outlaw King" on the real "Braveheart" who was actually Robert the Bruce

[@lauracassels3320]

"This feels really positive and upbeat." Yeah...not so much.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

I 100% spoke too early 😅

[@honza8832]

Dear Madam,Dear Sir,thanks a lot! I think (my humble opinion),that all your job and effort are absolutely excellent! This film (movie) is a very heartbreaking story! And a real,sad history.Warm greetings from the Central Europe. Have a wonderful weekend and take care,please.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Thank you so much! We both really enjoyed this film and you are right, such a sad part of history! But very inspiring. Have a great weekend also 😊

William and the princess has nothing to do with love from his side. She is a key to giving Scotland its freedome

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Yeah fair call, when I watched it I was like "buuut his wife!" haha but you make sense, it being a tactical move to secure the information and future he needed.

[@Berg126]

@Flix-n-Feels first 5 times I thought the same, so I am not better, but then I suddenly saw it differently and it made more sense to me, He keept his word, it was not love, just a way to play the cards he was delt

[@wumpscutx1]

Great film but basically fiction from start to finish. The only thing accurate is the names.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

I was curious about this. I know that it supposedly took quite a few creative liberties but need to go and watch a documentary now to see how it all went down!

[@wumpscutx1]

@Flix-n-Feels without making a huge list a few of the inaccuracies, William Wallace wasn't known as Braveheart, that was Robert the Bruce. The battle of Sterling was on a bridge, not out in a field. The Scots didn't wear kilts regularly untill 300 years later and there was no romance between Princess Isabella and Walace, she was 12 years old when she married Edward II and didn't have any children untill 2 or 3 years after Wallace was executed.

[@PeterBuwen]

Great film. But I wonder why directors always think that people from earlier times never washed themselves and were always dirty and filthy. Very irritating.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Oh that's a good point, especially somewhere like Scotland that has so many rivers!

[@KaneChamp]

When's The Lord of the Rings coming??

[@Flix-n-Feels]

We definitely have it in the pipeline! We are blessed and cursed that we have so many great films to process through. Lord of the Rings will definitely feature though we promise!

[@LoftusRD1882]

Longshanks and the gay out the window 🤣

[@1MahaDas]

The feature audio level is barely audible so that only the hosts can be heard well. Too much of the content video is also "blurred out" so that the story is hard to follow for the viewing audience.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Roger that! We will make adjustments and hopefully continue to improve! Thank you for the feedback!

[@CoolHandLuke-q1e]

Other than that you enjoyed it boy ! .

[@rickykennedy]

William Wallace Never met Robert The Bruce,at that time nobody in Scotland would speak any English,He also never met The orincess of Wales who was only about 4 yrars old,,Wallace was Educated in Paisley Abbey he spoke,Latin French and Gealic,He was Around 6ft 7ins,A giant of a man Capable of taking on 3 men at a time,The First Battle at Stirling Was fought on a Bridge,Scots were outnumbered 3 or 4 to one,But they won the Battle,The very last Battle at the end,Was fought at Bannockburn whish is also Stirling,Bruce was a force to be reckoned with,A true Braveheart,Inspired by Wallace.The Battle of Bannockburn was Planned at Cambuskenneth Abbey also in Stirling,Which was probably the most important Stronghold in Scotland He who held Stirling Held Scotland,It has a Spectacular castle,the oldest football in the world was found there,We also have The Wallace monument Where the Wallace sword lives ,The sword itself is around 5ft 7ins a must see,At the Crown of the Monument you can see all over Stirling with the River Forth soelling its iwn name xx😊

[@Flix-n-Feels]

We love learning all the background information when we watch these films. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this and interacting with us in general! Fingers crossed we can see you on future videos informing us of stuff there too!

[@CoolHandLuke-q1e]

The film never claimed to be historically accurate boy ! , wind the auld neck in .

[@johncampbell9216]

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, being 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's 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 dead 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". Yes, the legend of "Robin Hood" was a propaganda campaign to calm fears in northern England under the threat of Wallace's invasion. In fact, if you look closely at the statue of the Nottingham hero, he is clearly wearing a kilt and has a dirk in his belt. 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 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!" The term is correctly applied to Robert, rather than William. the film after all is about Robert transition from dithering political nobleman to hero King as a result of William's example. Time to watch Outlaw/King!.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Oh wow thank you so much for taking the time to post this! Always love learning more about the events and characters of the films we watch! Such an incredible story! And yes a few have mentioned Outlaw King now so we will definitely have to get around to watching it soon! Thanks again for being here and engaging with us!

[@LukeLovesRose]

Ignore these critics. They come on every comment section for Braveheart, trying to the tear the movie down for one reason. Its "historical inaccuracies." But no one cares. These flaws dont matter when the story that is on screen is so well told. Mel Gibson, James Horner and everyone else involved told an incredible job. Thats all that matters. How well the story is told. By the way, im sure William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar isnt anymore historically accurate. The great movie, Spartacus is far from accurate. Gladiator takes a lot of liberties with the Roman Empire at the time. But WHO CARES because these movies are that good...??

[@Flix-n-Feels]

100% The story and the meaning behind it is what makes the film beautiful and stirring to watch. I (Harry) am an Englishman and throughout I loved all the Scottish characters. The story and meaning transcends the specific moments in the movie. Stand up for what you believe in and for those you love. We just love good, entertaining, inspiring, moving movies! 😅 and this was one of them!

[@edgarcia701]

You guys talk too much!

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Appreciate you being here and giving a try nonetheless!

[@s..4955]

It’s called a reaction video dumb dumb, EdGarcia gets no tail 😂for sure

[@Whiskey0880]

Historically inaccurate.

[@Flix-n-Feels]

Yeah a few have mentioned this and i think id heard about that beforehand but i need to go find a good documentary to learn more about it all.

[@LukeLovesRose]

No one cares. William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is probably very inaccurate. That doesnt make it any less great

[@Flix-n-Feels]

we definitely loved watching it 😊
