Well when watching a " historical " movie always remember .....this IS Hollywood !!! hell they didnt even FILM in Scotland..... it was all Ireland that you saw! and the bagpipes? not even Highland pipes that you hear, ol Mel thought that the Uleian (sp) pipes sounded " more scottish" and if you read the history on William Wallace he wasnt a nice guy..... the belt he hung his claymore on ( I cant remeber what its called) was supposedly made from the skin of an english officer, and he WAS fighting for scottish independance, but also for himself ( he fancied himself a kingdom) so always watch movies like that with a grain of salt.... I enjoyed it AS A MOVIE the fight scenes were decent for the most part, and it DID raise some patriotisim in Scotland
