Braveheart - question

Recommended Posts

When Longshanks brought back jus primae noctis.

 

Why didn't William Wallace, just not get married :dunno:

 

He knew the law, the common folk were talking about it.

I'm guessing that they truly believed premarital sex was a sin.

Bite your tongue, knave. Awesome movie, won many Oscars including best director for Mel and best picture overall. Set the standard for medieval battle scenes to this day.

 

Among the best movies ever made imo.

Well that's why they had that whole thing about him getting married in secret...so his favorite sheep wouldn't find out about it.

when running up behind someone to stab them with a sword, always scream he knows you're coming.

I do know the girl had a tremendous rack on her.

I remember when the movie came out, they had William Wallace action figures.

 

They had her too, but she was a Pez dispenser.

By far my favorite scene in that movie has to be when Longshanks discusses War plans with his sons War advisor. Freaking laughed out loud.

I read a book on the actual Braveheart. The Scottish are obviously pissed off at the movie version. But them. It's done more for Scottish tourism then everything else in history combined.

 

While some of the storylines and characters are just flat-out fiction, some of the methods and tactics where indeed attributable to William Wallace.

 

Two that I remember are the very long bike that they use to defeat the cavalry. The other one was not really addressed as much in the film but was pretty much Common Sense these days.

 

There was a bridge that went over really untenable soil. The convention back in the day was to let the British or whomever get all of their troops across the bridge before attacking. Now imagine that. This could take a couple of days to get an entire Army across one Ricky ass bridge. And the Scottish were expected to just sit there and did a limb cells and wait to be slaughtered.

 

WW obviously said that. And it was one of his most decisive victories.

I read that about the bridge(Battle of Stirling?) and was surprised that wasn't in the movie also...maybe it didn't seem as heroic... :dunno:

Perfect, that whole scene is incredible. The shots of the king thumping to the room behind the door, his calm demeanor after his son tries to murder him, just brilliance.

 

This whole freaking movie is a masterclass in directing, character work, storytelling, fight scene choreography, editing, everything.
