best movie I've ever seen.
Just read the link, it may help
I understand your feelings.As a proud Scot and a student of history ... I hate this movie. It is so historically incorrect in so many ways that it makes me sick. What I hate about it the most is that so many others likely think that it is historically correct.
I'm not going to go into everything but just let this one stick with you ... SCOTS DIDN'T WEAR KILTS IN WALLACE'S TIME!!!!!!
I understand your feelings.
I think thought the overall attention it brought to the character and more so the plight of the Scotts overshadows the clear historical inaccuracies.
For me it piqued my interest enough to actually research William Wallace and the actual events etc.
Then you haven't seen Earnest Scared Stupid.best movie I've ever seen.
Again I understand.Good. I'm glad that you read up on Scotland and it's history.
But would you not have been interested had they kept more to this historical record?
How about have the Battle of Stirling Bridge include a bridge?!?!?!?!?! Wallace won because he divided the English forces as they were crossing the bridge!!!
Why are they wearing kilts? Scots didn't start wearing kilts until the 1700s.
What's up with the love interest in the French princess? She was a baby duruing Wallace's time.
I could go on and on and get into the actual political situation and such and get into what was actually going on with Robert the Bruce and all ... but we don't need to do that. The movie made a joke of actual history. And it didn't have to do so.
The writer/producer stated ... "never let history get in the way of a good story". Ugh.
Ummmmmm....its a movie not a documentary......settle down there Scotty.....and have a bit of Glenmorangie if your of age.Good. I'm glad that you read up on Scotland and it's history.

I'll check it outThen you haven't seen Earnest Scared Stupid.
If you have time/didn't mind, could you tell me the events that actually happened? It's been quite a while since I learned about it.. and I guess I'm kinda lazy, so I didn't look it up.Good. I'm glad that you read up on Scotland and it's history.

Ernest very underrated, Verne was no slouch.Then you haven't seen Earnest Scared Stupid.

I show it every year in my European History class to teach about Scotland's Wars of Independence. Much better than having the kids read a book - the movie captures their attention like no other.
You "know what I mean "Ernest very underrated, Verne was no slouch.
