An enjoyable thread

Haven't seen Braveheart for sime time now, but does it claim to be a true story? A historical film? A documentary, even? If the answer is "no", then I guess there is no need to criticize it for being inaccurate. It is, well, fiction.

Though, as you all point out, the history of the time is really interesting, and it is important to ensure that viewers of the film realise it is fictional (with a couple of real names thrown in for good measure).

To quote one of the scholars who have taken the Da Vinci Code apart: "It's historically inaccurate - but it's a damn good read!"
