BRAVEHEART 4K REMASTERED - THE BATTLE OF STIRLING - ENGLISH GET THEIR BUTTS KICKED BY THE SCOTS

From the Academy-Award winning film, Braveheart. After a hundred years of theft, rape and murder, the Scots under William Wallace decide to declare their independence from English occupation. Wallace was the son of a land-owning commoner. After his father and brother were killed by the English, William is taken in by his uncle, Argyle. Fast forward some number of years and William returns and wants to settle down with his childhood flame, Murron.
When King Edward "Longshanks" declares "prima nocta," William and Murron get married in secret to avoid her being taken by an English lord as part of his "sexual rights." One of the sleazy English soldiers tried to rape Murron, but she injured him, causing the local English magistrate to execute her. Seeking revenge, William kills the magistrate and the garrison and then proceeds to wage a guerrilla campaign that results in the death of the local English lord.
Knowing that the English will eventually send their entire northern army against them which will include heavy horse(armored cavalry), William and his men formulate a battle plan. When they arrive at Stirling, they find that the Scottish army is leaving the field of battle due to the overwhelming size and strength of the English army.
After a rousing speech, William convinces the Scots to stay and fight.

The end scene always made this look like a really pyrrhic victory given just how few guys are actually standing versus the massive pile of dead behind them.

Although nothing like the real battle that actually featured a bridge & a downhill charge by roughly 6000 Scottish Lowland spearmen (not wearing kilts & without any blue streaks painted into their faces!) that plowed into a smaller number of English knights this cinematic recreation is still spectacular & exhilarating, & one of the best & most realistic battle scenes ever filmed. Even after nearly 30 years it still holds up fantastically while never ceasing to amaze me. Kudos to Mel Gibson for an outstanding job at directing this movie while serving as the main star, not an easy task.

Not that modern warfare is any better, but can you imagine all these men hacking at each other with sharpened iron and pointed spears?

[@JonahsWail]

So much more honorable than the world war battlefields though. At least people in this era could fight for it and rely on some skill and athleticism. 20th century battlefields were absolute hellscapes. I don’t know how people came back from the world wars with sanity intact, especially WWI. At least fighting nazis in WWII was easy to justify.

[@keegobricks9734]

The one thing about this, that the movie rightly or wrongly doesn't depict is that, when all that carnage is happening, a lot of men just run. I mean can you say given the chance you wouldn't rather be anywhere else? A lot of men just run, and when you're down to only a handful of allies nearby a lot will surrender, I mean unless they were scared of being tortured after the battle which the scotts might have done but I'm no expert on it.

They did many historical inaccuracies of the lack of a bridge, the kilts, and most importantly to me, it was a very short battle of hundreds, and it did not affect the overall war. The movie makes it sound like they won the battle, so they won the war when in fact, they won the battle, and then lost the next few battles to the point of losing the war.

Such a misrepresentation of real history. The Scotts where every bit as professional an army as the English. They had knight in full suits of armour, fully equipped infantry and archers, just like their foes. They did not present themselves like Scottish peasants. No battle was ever fought without well established lines. No mad dashing at each other into a free for all open undisciplined battle. Still makes for a great movie.

Armour means nothing apparently, the number of English soldiers killed by sword thrusts in this scene somehow through decent armour...!

[@goodwinter6017]

The point of axes and those wierd looking machete cleavers the Scots wield was to be able to slash through English armour.

[@DraconimLt]

@@goodwinter6017 the ones I'm talking about were using basic swords and ramming them straight through plate armour such as at 2:52. Besides, even axes and cleavers wouldn't get through proper plate, probably not even halfway decent mail, though they might break bones through it, weapons like that were usually used against unarmoured foes or aimed at GAPS in the armour. This is the very reason why maces and warhammers were invented! So, no, it still wouldn't happen as portrayed, either way.

Cool Fantasy battle. Would have been cool if it was real. Since the real battle was called "the battle of Sterling Bridge" because you know, it had a bridge that choked off the English's superior numbers to even out the battlefield. This movie in general is about as accurate to history as Conan the Barbarian was and really fits better as a swords and sorcery fantasy.
