How2PK Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 It's okay, nothing too special though. Maybe it's not really my type of thing. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 About the only thing that's historically correct in that movie was that England and Scotland were at war. The movie's tripe. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Meh, just another historically innacurrate film, designed to make as much money as possible. Don't get me wrong the real story of William Wallace is good, but I don't like the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I found it surprisingly poor. Not even in my top 100 movies. And I don't even know of the historical inaccuracies. It was just...Not good, at all. And Mel Gibson was not great in it. I'm not a fan of him, but I've seen him do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong the real story of William Wallace is good, but I don't like the film. the 'inaccuracies' are there to let those in the audience who don't know the story of William Wallis understand it more clearly, Mel Gibson would of had to imbellish parts and leave parts out to make the overall movie flow better and balance in all, I doubt the actually story would have been as intersting to watch if it was 100% true to real life, Im sure Mel gibson didn't simply make it all up. :) And I don't think theres anything wrong with making a lil bit of money :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohto Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Personally I think that move is "ok". Nothing too great, but not that bad either. A movie I could watch while having a beer or 2, but I wouldn't really mind either if I had never seen it. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more understanding, to people who don't know about the subject, than a factual film? Take a read of this. If you are going to make a historical film, based on a real person, you might as well make it accurate. If you want start chaning things about why not just make a completely new story? Couldn't that be just as exciting? The makers of the movie were just trying to cash in on the name of William Wallace and the history of Britain.

Oy_the_Great Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Braveheart is IMO (that is the opinion of history student) a very good movie. It is not realistic, indeed, but that wasn't Mel Gibson's plan. If some of you may have seen the movie with Mel's comments in between, you'll notice that he is even laughing at the movie being incorrect, but for the sake of it minor and major changes have been made to the storyline. It's also a movie 'based on' the story of Wallace, it's not the biography of em... As far as I know Mel Gibson has never claimed the movie to be close to the facts, let alone enterily correct. edit: I just read the comments from that guy from the link Phil posted, those were exactely my thoughts too but he doesn't seem to know Braveheart is just a fairytale based on what the real William Wallace did.

If it was just a fairytale why did they need to base it on a real person? Just so you know it has never been said that Braveheart was a fairytale by anyone, it was billed as the life of William Wallace, which in my eyes should mean historically accurate.

If I want to see something rather accurate and more or less historically correct I'll watch a BBC documentary, not a movie.

Bubsa Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I agree with Phil here, I think an actual documentation of his life would be interesting to watch. It's just...I can't take the movie serious with the blatant lies in it to 'develop the plot'. Like Phil said, why use real characters in that regard? Like the woman who comes over (God, I can't remember her name). Well, if that actually did happen IRL...she would have been 6 years old. Had they just created a character, I could have dealt with that. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
