I remember going to see braveheart in the cinema in Glasgow when it came out, and when it was over the entire theatre was applauding, incredibly moving and it is an incredible film.

Say what you will but, Mel Gibson KNOWS how to make movies like "Braveheart" and "The Patriot."

Except Mel Gibson Did Not really direct The Patriot though

Just saw it again for the first time in ages and it really is an impeccable film. Everything about it is on point. Absolutely everything. I'm sure it wasn't easy to make and Mel should be proud (I'm sure he is). He's a cool and kind of kooky guy too haha

Who is he talking about in the last part of the interview?

[@elizabethf1591]

I think Mr Gibson may be referring to the late actor director Orson Welles .

[@vaguemartin]

William Wallace.

[@airmackeeee6792]

Which director is Mr Gibson referring to when he talks about copying a director's editing style?

[@elizabethf1591]

I think he may have been referring to actor director Orson Welles .

[@airmackeeee6792]

Ok cheers for that! :). I saw Welles' "Chimes at Midnight" over the weekend. The jump cutting style used for depicting the Battle of Shrewsbury is similar to Mr Gibson's editing style used for the battle scenes in Braveheart.

[@scottw.3258]

When i heard they were making a film about Wallace i got excited. So many films have been made about Robin Hood( a character many historians believe was based upon Wallace) but none about Scottish heroes. What a disappointment the film was. Total Hollywood hokum, just complete nonsense. It was an insult to Scotland and our history. For Randall Wallace to sit and proudly proclaim that he's a descendent of William Wallace and to then write the screenplay is disgraceful, considering other films he made were attempts at historical accuracy, yet he makes no effort whatsoever with this film. Had they marketed it as a fantasy film based on real characters, then fair enough, but to attempt to portray this is historical is frankly insulting. It's clear he made no attempt at researching the characters, he just grasped the names and ran with it. He made something which in his mind felt authentic, but in reality was worse than pantomime. I'm pleased we ended up with Outlaw King being released as it showed that historical drama can be made and can make a serious attempt at authenticity. I'd love for someone to come along who cares about Scottish history and make an accurate film based around Wallace and Moray, because this film should be thrown in the bin.

[@johnp82]

You're insane. It's a great movie and the basic plot is accurate. The point of the movie is to show that William Wallace, who was a real leader in the Wars for Scottish Independence, helped lead Scotland to getting that independence. The battles at Stirling, Falkirk and Bannockburn were real battles. Everything else is just thrown in for a cinematic effect. No one cares that kilts weren't worn until the 16th century or that there was no bridge in the battle at Stirling Bridge. The movie is historical fiction. It's a fictional tale based on actual historical events. It doesn't claim to be a documentary on the History Channel.

[@scottw.3258]

@@johnp82 You call me insane and then post that load of shite?

[@johnp82]

@@scottw.3258 you actually read my comment and call it a load of shite? Then yes, you are indeed insane. Tell me one thing I said that's incorrect.

[@scottw.3258]

@@johnp82 1. It's not a great 'movie'. 2. WE care that Kilts weren't worn until the 16th century and that woad hadn't been worn for centuries. 3. WE care that there was no bridge at Stirling. It was an integral part of the Battle. 4. It wasn't marketed as 'historic fiction'. There was also zero mention of Andrew de Moray in the film. He was the the General of the Scottish army at Stirling Brig, not Wallace. He was the experienced warrior, not Wallace. One thing the film did get pretty smack on, is that Wallace was little more than a scrapper. He was a pluke on Longshanks arse and nothing more. He's held in worship because of how he died, make no mistake about it. He was a minor part of the Scottish uprising in reality. For every thing the film got right, it got half a dozen things wrong. It's an insult to Scotland.

[@johnp82]

@@scottw.3258 1. It's absolutely a great movie, objectively speaking. It's won awards, has a massive cult following, and has brought people to tears. It has great acting and cinematography. 2. "We" care that kilts weren't worn? Who's "we"? Scottish people or snobby historians? 3. Filming the battle at Stirling on an actual bridge didn't work logistically for some reason. But that doesn't take away from the fact that Stirling was a real battle that Scotland won. 4. It wasn't marketed as "historical fiction" but that's what it's widely regarded as. And it wasn't marketed as a documentary either. If it was a History Channel documentary, you'd have an argument. Moray was one of the generals at Stirling. Wallace was the other. You're saying Wallace wasn't an experienced warrior yet he led an army against the English and beat them? I guess he was just that good then. And if he was merely some peasant scrapper, why was he made a knight and Guardian of Scotland? Why are there statues of him erected by Scottish people in Scotland? Again, the gist of the film is to show how Scotland led an uprising against England and a ruthless king, and eventually gaining their independence, while portraying heroic acts by Scotsman and also showing how gruesome battles were. The movie does those things. The screenplay takes liberties to make the story more interesting. I don't see how that's an insult to Scotland. Having characters wear kilts and paint their face blue only makes the story more interesting by painting a more colorful picture and making them more "Scottish". If it completely rewrote history and showed Scotland losing the battles at Stirling and Bannockburn and NOT getting their independence while NOT depicting Scotsmen as brave warrirors, then I could see your point. Although I could see Scottish people and particularly descendants of Robert The Bruce getting mad for portraying him as a traitor. But still.
