Braveheart.

4 stars

21 May 2024

Braveheart is an enjoyable movie about William Wallace and the Scots fight against the Kingdom Of England and King Edward I "Longshanks". Dispite all the complaining I do in this review I really enjoyed Braveheart and would recommend it. I really enjoyed the story even though the truth was kinda bent quite a few times the best example of this is William Wallace himself who is portrayed as having the moral high ground. Which William Wallace did not have in real life William Wallace often sank down the same lows as King Edward I. Wallace would often pillage friendly and enemy towns with out a second thought taking whatever he pleased. This was the standard for the time which is important to remember. Wallace also didn't follow the whole freeman troupe he does in the movie a lot of Wallace's motivation in real life was money and other means. Its also annoys me how one the Scots aren't wearing any armor Scotland during that time wore almost the exact same armor as England just with different patterns and colours Wallace also would have wore armor but it doesn't really matter as the armor apparently doesn't stop anything according to this movie.
