According to court records of that time, William Wallace actually did say those words, about longshanks not being his king, and therefore didn't agree with the charge of treason. William Wallace was 'hanged, drawn and quartered' and beheaded. The movie audience was spared the details of the ordeal William Wallace had to go through, on the day of his execution. First, He was dragged naked by his heels behind a horse to the execution site, at Smithfield, London. First he was hanged, and before losing consciousness, dropped down to the ground. Then, The 'rack' pulled all the joints out of their sockets. After that, while still alive, his genitals were removed, cut out, and thrown in a fire before him. Then, while still alive, his abdomen was cut up, and his entrails spilled out, and were removed, and thrown into the same fire. The executioner then cut out Wallace's heart, and then William Wallace was beheaded. Finally, the executioner quartered William Wallace (cut off his arms and legs).

Saw it in the theater opening night. Packed house. Only seats were on the front row. When it was over, the room was silent. Full credits rolled until the end. No one got up from their seats. I stood and began to applaud. In moments everyone was clapping. It was a moving experience and I felt kinship with every person there because we had all shared it together. Mel might be a little psycho, but he knows how to move a story. Seen it multiple times since. Not that it matters but it swept the Oscars.

[@Robertsmith-un5cu]

[@Cadinho93]

"They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" The betrayal scene is the best acting Mel Gibson ever did. Most people would have played it angry. He made it feel like real betrayal does: confusion, disbelief, numbness, the life flowing out of him. Absolutely gutted me the first time I saw it. Also, this film is EVERYTHING even now after all these years, which never gets old.

[@waynepurcell6058]

I hated the betrayal scene though. It painted Robert the Bruce in a very bad light. It's thought by most historians that Robert and William never even met, and even if they did it more likely would have been just in passing. Another thing that kinda irked me about the movie is Wallace being portrayed as some kind of "commoner hero". Wallace was the son of a minor nobleman, and they had a small amount of land and wealth. While Wallace (as most people) valued freedom, they weren't trying to change the SYSTEM, they were trying to change who "RAN" the system. They wanted a Scottish King and Scottish nobles pulling the strings, not a king and nobles from England. However, that Scottish King (and nobles) would have still been lording over the poor common man, no different than the English were. They would just have been keeping all the "profits" for themselves.

The flower she gave him was symbolic as well, as it was a thistle, the national flower of Scotland.

[@escapetheratracenow9883]

Try driving through the beautiful Scottish Highlands to this movie's wonderful soundtrack. It's absolute heaven! Wallace's broadsword is on display at the Wallace Monument on the outskirts of Stirling. It overlooks the ground where the English were defeated. So what if the movie is not accurate. We live in a world where virtually nothing the News media tells us is true either. Wallace the man became myth. The myth became legend, and with all legends there's always truth blended in with the romance, just like the legend of Robin Hood.

Not a single Braveheart comment section is spared of the overt anti-Scottish propaganda. The film is based on "The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace" written in the 15th century. Outlaw King is meant to be historically EXACT and William Wallace did exist and the full modern recorded story is a Million times more courageous and extraordinary then what anyone knew of in the 15th century. Having said all that, England is a third world colonised hellscape today, worry about that as much as you do hating the only Native people of Britain (yall are from Germany).

Not sure if you guys realized, but when Wallace gives the girl the flower she gave him as a little boy, the gesture wasn't only that he held onto it the entire time. She had no idea who he was and it was how he revealed his true identity to her again after all those years. That's why her face is so shocked. If you watch their conversation beforehand, they make it clear that she had no idea who he was. He says something about how she recognized him and she basically says she doesn't. Then, he says, "Are you in the habit of riding off with complete strangers?" and she says it was the best way to make him leave. So, she really had no idea who he was at all. That flower let her know exactly who he was... AND that he thought enough of her to keep it and return it to her after all those years.

I am a Scotsman from Edinburgh and this movie is great!!!! However it is inaccurate, The way Wallace died was real, the battle that we won when heavily outnumbered was real and the law that Englishman had to take away a Scotsmans wife on the day of their wedding in an attempted to breed us out was also real. If the husband tried to stop it he would be executed. But the inaccuracies is that Wallace and Robert the Bruce never met, And even though Wallace was a great warrior……he wasn’t actually the hero of Scotland. The real hero was actually Robert the Bruce. He was also a great warrior and amazing tactician who put his title and life on the line to free Scotland. And he wasn’t a king that sat and watched his army do the work. He dug trenches with them, fought in battles etc. If you want a real historically accurate series about the war then watch “OutLaw King”. It’s about Robert The Bruce, It is very accurate from his story to battle tactics. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! Also amazing reaction!!!! 😁👍🏻

Hello from Scotland, love your reactions to this film, thank you so much for reviewing it.

William Wallaces mother, Lady Margaret Crawford is also buried within the grounds of the Abbey in Dunfermline.

[@michbenny1363]

I loved this movie until I learned the real William Wallace story. Of course William Wallace was important, but they did Robert the Bruce dirty. He was king and tried to work with the English but realized it was pointless and joined the fight when Wallace died. He never betrayed him (I could be wrong). King Edward Longshanks (the Hammer of the Scots) was never in the vicinity of Wallace's execution because he was already dead. And William's love interest, Isabella (Edward's wife), was actually 9 years old at the time and was also no where near Wallace. The story also skipped the Despencers, who had a great story. A much better movie IMO was Outlaw King. But to say it wasn't an emotional movie (not knowing the actual story) isn't fair because it does have an impact.

They put that bladed hook up his ass and tore out his groin. Ouch.

if you like this and gladiator, you'd probably like "300". other great mel gibson movies are "the patriot" and "we were soldiers"

I noticed this when I watched reaction to taken. First, you should know that I'm a historian. I have multiple degrees, multiple subjects, but history is my true love. This is the first movie my children got to see in a theater. This is going to sound strange, but my daughter was five and my son was three. Before we went into the theater. I told them this may not be a movie you are interested in, but if you make a disruption which will cause me to leave, it will be a year before you go back to a theater to see a movie. And we will be seeing movies that you like and I don't. My daughter slept, my 3-year-old son watched every second with me. He does not have a degree in history, instead he has a degree in political science with a minor in philosophy. But he understands history quite well. Having grown up with a historian and paying attention. He technically has the knowledge of a historian. We got to rewatch this movie in the theater a few years back, before covid. It's hard for me to go to movies after covid destroyed me physically. But we enjoyed watching it in the theater again on the big screen where it definitely belongs. It did get a few things wrong, I did a lot of research when I was in college for a paper I wrote on William Wallace. I was inspired to do a paper on him because of how much I loved the movie. William Wallace was brilliant, he did speak multiple languages, his uncle, played by Brian Cox, was the Abbott at a monastery in Kennabeckskenneth. Monasteries were the sole place for education during that era. The late 13th and early 14th centuries. They didn't show it, but the battle of Sterling, with the 18-ft long poles to defeat the cavalry of the British, he used a gorilla warfare tactic. He had a group of individuals, traverse the water and take out the bridge after the cavalry crossed so that the archers and infantry had a harder time responding to what happened. The Battle of Sterling is still one of the all-time great victories in history. William Wallace's claymore, his sword, is that a museum in Sterling. Sterling. You should Google that, you'll see just how big his sword really was, no pun intended. The relationship with the princess would never have happened, she was 4 years old at the time. That was Hollywood. Just trying to bring a romance into the film to make it more popular. Robert, the Bruce is the one who actually achieved Scotland's Independence. This film was written by members of The Wallace clan, which is why it is favoring William Wallace who definitely deserves credit for who and what he was. The kilts and bagpipes are also off, but they still made this movie more incredible. William Wallace was the first person known to have been drawn and quartered, what they did to him. They definitely put his head on a pike on London bridge and they sent his arms and legs to the four corners of the island to send a message to anyone resisting their rule. Chris pine is in a movie playing Robert, the Bruce and they start the film out with one of his limbs as an example. Thought it was a fitting tribute to this movie and William Wallace's sacrifice. Oh, I almost forgot. They did kill his wife who they were married in secret. That part of the story is true. It is what set him off. And he really did terrorize England. So much so that even in the late 20th century, the English lexicon encyclopedia had one paragraph about William Wallace, It said; William Wallace was a Scottish Patriot who was The first person known to be drawn and quartered. They still held a grudge 600 years later. That's f****** hilarious!

I don't agree with how Robert The Bruce's Dad went about it, but his methods yielded results and experience that every king should have. He learned what it means to hate, to betray, to be betrayed, the price of betrayal and the qualities of a true leader that was lived before his eyes in William.

He was King Edward III Plantaganet (Longshanks), Of the same family as Richard The Lionheart. In doing my family tree, I have Both Longshanks and the 16th Robert The Bruce. ugly death

[@paulconnett3654]

Thanks for putting up with a load of bull, to get this back up. Well worth it.x The battles were great/graphic and fun hearing Michelle and Natalie saying O O no no and stop now while pretending to cover their eyes. So Crying and Squirming made this an emotional reaction which is the power of good film/story telling. Also I have this and many other films that you have reacted to. But it's always nice to see how others see them. Cheer's Beautiful Ladies.xx
