Braveheart (1995) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@wolfie35p]

This is my favourite movie of all time, partly because I'm Scottish, I have seen this movie well over 20 times and probably watched close to 50 reactions to it. Based very loosely on William Wallace, the guardian and high protector of Scotland. Even though not everything, as people would say, hardly anything is based on truth, this is a phenomenal movie.

[@willgold9989]

“Im here the claim the right of a HUSBAAAAAAAND!” And with that, a legend was born.

[@LukeLovesRose]

Don't listen to any of the critics. Braveheart remains one of the greatest, most timeless and powerful epic dramas ever made. The performances are wonderful. The soundtrack is some of the best, most heartwrenching music ever composed for a motion picture. RIP James Horner. The cinematography, art direction and set design is STUNNING. Mel Gibson knocked it out of the park with this epic masterpiece. He totally deserved to win Best Director and Braveheart totally deserved to win Best Picture.

[@BigMac7629]

30 years later and this movie is still truly epic in every way. I remember seeing this in the theater and I came out thinking Holy shit this movie was just epic.

[@technofilejr3401]

Hamish’s father died happy. He fought for what he believed in and his adult son was fighting by his side. Not a bad way to go all things considered.

[@frederickgallegos2047]

"Every man dies. Not every man truly lives". My favorite quote from Braveheart.

[@Treeefiddy]

The second Devin saw the king's son, he said "he soft, look at him." It just made me die laughing thinking of the king's line from later "Whom do I send? Not my gentle son. The mere sight of him would only encourage an enemy to take over the whole country."

[@sumonabatch6822]

Am I having a Mandela effect? This feels like your third first time watching this… someone tell me I am not alone

[@llB0JANGLESll]

No Mandela effect he’s def reacted to this and a bunch of other movies he uploads. I think he redoes videos that had past success that might have been copystriked by youtube. Either way tho his reaction still slick.

[@tasoskoyt]

You are not wrong.

[@BlitzkriegStaffords]

you may be mistaking him for another reactor or the fact he has reacted to a few other films starring mel gibson but this is the only braveheart reaction he has on his channel

[@llB0JANGLESll]

@BlitzkriegStaffords only because the other reaction he did before either didn’t do well or was copyright blocked. This is 100% a redo. He even slips up at the one part where he’s doing the “theyll never take our freedom” part. Its so hype he accidentally says it before it happens due to his excitement. This isn’t the first time he’s done this. However, i honestly think his reactions get better the more he watches the same movie or show. I wish he would finish breaking bad but he keeps stopping cause not enough views.

[@GabeTheGrump]

He has multiple older channels this is like the 3-4th movie he already seen on his old channel and now watching again on this new one. He says it's because he has bad memory and wants to see it again.

[@thehashslingingslasher6443]

As a Scotsman, the dream, the idea, the notion, of William Wallace is tattooed onto the inside of my head, as it is with all of us Scots. Our national anthem is about him. Thanks for this, really enjoyed it.

[@vincenzobonadonna4556]

I love that you know how to pay attention to the story while you're yapping. Truly great reaction channel.

[@ilove6kies]

That’s because he’s reacted to it before

[@Cr1ms0nRav3n]

@ilove6kies it’s okay. We all being entertained and I enjoy his commentary. He said himself that some of these movies he’s seen before on his other older channel but vaguely remember all the details. Sometimes you see something and then a few years later watch it again cuz you forgot most of it. Hopefully he starts doing tv shows again.

[@retrosonghits]

Hi Devin ~ So glad you are watching this great movie. I have a large amount of Scottish ancestry in my family and am so proud of being a Scot. I come from Clan Mackenzie. Chief Ian MacKenzie led 500 MacKenzies in the Battle of Bannockburn where we defeated the English. This was the battle after the killing of Wallace. You know Vikings were tough people but us Scots back centuries ago were even tougher and crazier. Vikings were warned to not take their longboats near the shores of Scotland because they knew how we were, we were fierce fighters and didn't have any fear!

[@haraldisdead]

The entire Sterling sequence, by itself, is one of humanity's great works of art. Its a beautiful standalone short story.

[@Redsdelight]

This is his third first time watching Braveheart..

[@debbyemerson3877]

Devin I knew this one would hit so good with you NICE

[@toochangz]

This was mind blowing in the theaters. I saw it like 5 times lol

[@erey214]

No didn't stop lying

[@toochangz]

@erey214 ya I did asshole. Also saw First Knight twice in theater during the same time

[@haraldisdead]

They were chanting "MacAulish," which means "Son of Wallace" in Scottish. It shifted to "Wallace," signifying that he was no longer the son of Wallace, but the new Wallace.

[@Misantroph0]

Now you know why this Movie is beyond goated, Devin.

[@martinklaus2203]

This is one of my top 10 movies. Great reaction!!

[@JangTheKim]

Wow. Hard to believe you hadn’t seen this movie. It’s freaking awesome even though he’s not really looked upon well today. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up all!

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

Fun fact: Longshanks's grandfather was Prince John from "Robin Hood".

[@danieldwyer]

The executioner covers their face because they are one of the people in the village. Usually it was the blacksmith or a woodcutter, someone who was practiced in swinging an ax. If your father was executed and you knew the executioner was Bob, the blacksmith, you might come for revenge. That is why they wear a hood.

Great review Devin. Nice job.

[@valentinozampieri9971]

really liked ur reaction. This is my favorite movie ever, really full of values (lost today) and emotions. This is clearly a movie, far distant from real history facts happened, but William Wallace and Robert the Bruce are truly national heros in Scotland

[@normodica3970]

I love the fact that there's a continuation story of Robert.The bruce after this event where the actor who betrayed robert came back to portray him again

[@erey214]

It was aite

[@alisonscott1469]

Hi, thanks for the Braveheart reaction. Despite this film have dozens on historical inaccuracies it’s still one of my favourite films ever made and as a Scottish woman born and bred this movie makes me so proud to be Scottish . There was a Real William Wallace he did exist and he did become high protector of Scotland. He was really executed like that. Hung, Drawn and Quartered, Beheaded then torn to pieces. A part of his body was sent to Scotland as a warning but it did not have the reaction the English nobles were hoping for. There is the Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland that you can climb to the top of if you like millions of stairs. It holds the Real William Wallace’s broadsword which stands at 5ft 7ins tall. His sword is the same height as i am. There are also statues of Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn. Been to both places i don’t stay to far away from Stirling by car. The Stirling Bridge battle worked because the English were cut of by the Scots on both sides of the bridge but in the movie there isn’t a bridge just a battle. The french princess was only 5 years old when William Wallace was around not a grown women like in the film and the real William Wallace’s wife was killed like that. I love this movie and i hope you do too. Take care and happy holidays. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alba Gu Braith - Gaelic for Scotland is great 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cherylblossom8687]

Just an FYI the flower that he keeps his known as a Scottish primrose or a Highland Primrose which is different in color and texture and shape than that witches in the lowlands

[@TheRedStateBlue]

just try to remember, this is an adaptation, not historically accurate. wallace was about 6'5" tall. there can't be a battle of sterling bridge without the bridge. the french princess in question (isabella, portrayed by sophie marceau) was about 14-15 years old when all this was happening. robert the bruce's father was not a leper. there's more. its just a movie. the real story is equally as good, in its own way.

[@warriorpoet8119]

This movie was altered a lot! Where was the Bridge at Sterling? Also Wallace had probably never met Robert the Bruce. I like the movie but it was 90% inaccurate.

[@tvdroid22]

I figured you would connect with this movie. The warriors spirit.

[@alecstewart8084]

3rd time, still watchin. Bro the stuff they did to Wallace in real life is so messed up, great movie, even greater reaction. Happy holidays man

Damn that Claymore Wallace has 😮 Hell of a sword

[@alisonscott1469]

The sword the real William Wallace has stands in a glass case on display in the Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland and is 5ft 7ins tall that’s the same height as i am. 😘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@technofilejr3401]

10:49 Truly messed up. Back in these days the husband and wife probably knew each other all their lives. She probably saved herself for him. Then the noble invokes Prima Nocta just plain sick. Also yes this is exactly why they took their weapons. So the common folk can’t fight back. Whenever someone starts talking disarming law abiding citizens I give it a side eye.

[@bystandah9626]

Her only hope is if the noble couldn't get it up.

Vikings were responsible for the first war between Scotland and England. King Cnut, freshly crowned King of England, invaded Scotland with intent to annex the rest of GB. He failed, of course. There have been four wars between Scotland and England. Scotland won them all.

[@matthewphoenix6372]

Now you have seen Braveheart you have to watch Outlaw King. It was only released in 2018 but many agree it is the spiritual successor to Braveheart, it follows the story of Robert the Bruce (the guy who betrays Wallace) after Wallace's death.

[@koutastone1994]

The movie is a masterpiece.

[@scar445]

Holding off on the spears until the cavalry was so close, was known as waiting for them to commit. Once the lance is lowered, the kick the horse to make it run at max speed. at that point, training takes over and teh horse will not stop until directed to do so. Hence, why you wait, as hefting the lance requires immense focus and concentration to do effectively, preventing you from breaking off the charge. In short, waiting as long as Wallace did, ensured teh death of the heavy cavalry.

[@valdovaldo2224]

phenomenal indeed

[@mervinmerencio6861]

No, I would say it’s not Wallace‘s fault for bringing attention to her. Who knows how many women those soldiers had raped, and there was no retribution against them because they were single and the families didn’t have weapons. But like you said, they messed around and killed the wrong woman.

[@tp8030]

Always an Excellent movie!

[@Lugnut73]

33:18 the brutal part about this, is just before Wallace attacked York, the man inside said he would not run, because he didn't want to embarrass his uncle. so that was his nephews head he picked up, and he didn't even flinch.
