Happy FREEDOM Friday!

Can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to this film! For those who'd like to watch along, I watched the 2hr 57min version on Prime Video. Apologies if this wasn't the original version. I was getting conflicting information from Google and did my best, but it was hard to look up without spoilers.

As always, thank you so much for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, stay golden! ✨

haha awesome FF title today Nat 😄 Been looking forward to watching this movie with you all week. It's been in so many polls and I've always given it the home vote. I didn't even know there was an extended cut of this. Only got the 171mn version here, but I'll make it work 😊 Post: Well, your extended version was exactly the same as my copy. Kinda weird 🤔 Had a fun time watching this movie again with you Nat. Loved your teeing up of "the best behaved crowd" 😂 I remember watching this in the cinema and it's the only screening that I've been to ever to get a round of applause at the end. Home team bias, I suppose haha. A lot of this movie was filmed in Scotland, but a good deal of it was filmed in Ireland, as they got better tax breaks over there. That's the Scottish Government for ya 😅 Robert the Bruce's remains are entombed in the Abbey in my home town of Dunfermline. It's the Abbey that's in my profile picture on Patreon. And fun fact, less than 100 metres along the road from there, is the house where Andrew Carnegie was born, he who founded Carnegie Hall in NYC 😊 James Horner's score is suitably sweeping for the scenery and epic battles and, after hearing it, James Cameron reached out to him to score Titanic. Thanks for an awesome reaction today, and for all your work this week Nat. Catch up with you on the Sunday stream 😊

Excited to watch this. Gotta make sure the 4K blu-ray is the right version though (it is! YAY!). I wanted to comment in the poll, "If you haven't seen Braveheart it's one of the GREATEST FILMS EVER," lol. Glad you finally checked it out, though! Hope you're doing well, Nat! Recover swiftly! Hope you're doing well too, patrons! Just because, lol.

A lot of people like to poop on this film for it's historical inaccuracies, but in reality there's not alot of historical info on William Wallce. Some battles are off. The first battle (Sterling) was supposedly fought on a bridge (or over) in real life. I know you'll love the score, it's iconic and the sets. I personally love how filthy it is and not so clean and polished. I know your no fan of Gibson for obvious reasons, but the man acts out grief/sadness like no other. This may also be his first real directorial debut, if so he set his own personal bar pretty high. I wasn't aware there were extended cuts, I've only watched the theatrical release. Will have to watch this later. Thanks for the reaction.

This movie does have a good few historical inaccuracies, but I’ll be fucked if it doesn’t still get me hyped 😄 think every Scot knows Wallace’s speech in the film off by heart 😂😭 ALBA GU BRÀTH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The thing that set Braveheart apart when it first came out was that it was one of the first mainstream movies to portray medieval warfare as bloody and gory. Prior to this film, most Hollywood movies portrayed battle as being bloodless and PG rated. Also, the movie is very historically inaccurate and the reason why that keeps getting pointed out is that the movie does really demonize the English at that time. Funny enough, the movie when it first came out, did lead to a surge in Scottish nationalism with many in Scotland calling for independence from the UK. Never really got off the ground though. Also, Mel Gibson originally did not want to star in the movie, feeling that he was too old, but the Studio refused to let him direct unless he also starred. Lastly, no horses, or English stuntmen, were harmed in the making of this movie : )

A good tip Nat, if you want to see what version there are of a movie .look up Braveheart on imdb scroll down almost to the bottom look for < Tech Specs > click on it , here you have detailed view of which version there are of that movie 😉 very useful, i use it all the time.

Daniel McGuinness

Scottish nationalism is alive and well, and the call for full independence is stronger each referendum 🫡 we’ll get there x And of all the inaccuracies in this movie, the depiction of the English isn’t one of them 😅

Moshmallah

"And of all the inaccuracies in this movie, the depiction of the English isn’t one of them 😅" Historicians have widely criticised for it's historical inacurracies including its portrayal of the English, as are multiple of Mels movies where he portrays theEnglish/British as cartoonishly evil and whoever they were at war with as "peaceful simple folk". The right of first night? Not a thing. Lonshanks was portrayed as a mustache-twirling monster and it clearly had a homophobic edge to it's depiction of Edward II. It took the contemporary concept of 'individual freedom' and smashed it into a historical time period where it didn't fit but would be emotionally captivating, the war wasn't some war for the Scottish peasants to be free from the English, it was a complex succession crisis where Scottish and English elites cooperated and fought against eachother.

Kevin Farrell

The Scots probably weren't allowed to have swords. That's why they were fighting with a bunch of farming implements and tools.

Hi Natalie. I am glad you enjoyed the movie. I also have Scottish and English heritage. While Braveheart is very inaccurate in various ways, I think the movie is less about facts and more about legends, how they are created and how they endure to be timeless. Another movie you might want to check out is Rob Roy (1995), that takes place around the same time that Claire in Outlander time travels to. Another movie that has similar vibes is The Last of the Mohicans (1992). There are several versions of Mohicans, the most common one would be the Director's Cut.

Essero Eson

Well, to be fair, there were places called Scotland, Ireland and England, a man named William Wallace and another named Robert the Bruce, but I think that's where the historical accuracy ends. I feel this story would have done far better if it had been set in a fantasy land. Anyway, separate the art from the artist. Great reaction, Nat, thanx.

Bobby B

Nots Braveheart related but Nat if you follow Nathan Fillion on insta he’s been tasting a firefly announcement this Sunday with vids of him showing up at the casts door and going “it’s time”.

No, there are no verifiable sources that primae noctis ever was a real thing and all historical research points to it being a myth (possibly a later misunderstanding of medieval law). Like most of the historical inaccuries in Braveheart it functions as a narrative short cut: - The myth of primae noctis make it instantly 100% clear to the audience who the bad guys are - Want to quickly and unambigously portray William as the underdog that grows into a "cultured" man? Show him living in a stone hut and covered in dirt as a boy (not only is none of the homestead historically accurate, but in the poem Wallace is of lesser noble birth/gentry). Also reinforces David vs Goliath aspect of the story. - Really drive home the point that Edward Longshanks is the bad guy? Have him throw his son's gay lover out of a tower (in reality it was barons who resented Piers Gaveston being favoured by then King Edward II, his father Longshanks was already dead, who banded togheter and murdered him) And so forth.

Regardless of what a shit Mel is - this is still an Epic movie. And a ton of people went into creating it, not just Gibson. I must have seen this movie at least 2 dozen times now. Favorite parts are when he gives Murron her flower back after like, a decade. And the death scene of Campbell, Hamish's dad and him. Lots of funny spots too. The mooning bits of the first battle. Any time Stephen is on screen. Or Nicolette the handmaiden. And - also wanted to say - Hamish's da' is a fuckin' unit. I'm fine with the historical inaccuracies. If it were all true, it would be a documentary.

Daniel McGuinness

Sounds like an English opinion. Longshanks was an evil, greedy, coniving arse who’s almost entirely responsible for the surge in anti-English sentiment in Scotland The depiction wasn’t far off for him tbf

Justin Hormann

Oh my God! Every time I rewatch this movie (EVERY time!) I get a little depressed when I see William and Murron being all happy. This time was not an exception, lol. The movie just twists my heart out shortly afterwards.

David Sumner

Here is a really great video that goes much more in depth with the historial inaccuracies. I still like the movie but I do prefer movies be more historically accurate since people do learn from them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojBwASARAzo

Natalie Gold

happy to hear about the horses/stuntmen haha

ccc

The patriot and braveheart is basically the same movie am I right

Berry

Yeah this movie was really big back in the day. This was before Lord of the Rings and heavy use of CGI, so they had to rely on a ton of extras and it does look quite spectacular at times. Even though they seem to be using rubber weapons in many shots and historically it's all a bit nonsense. Personally not a big fan of Mel Gibson's directing, he really loves his extended torture scenes and those just kind of annoy me. But the other action scenes were mostly well done. Btw, did you recognize James Cosmo? The old tough Scotsman played Jeor Mormont in Game of Thrones, where he was also old and hard as nails. The cast is just solid gold also with Brendan Gleeson, Brian Cox, Sophie Marceau , etc. Lastly, if you feel like you need to see more men in kilts with dubious accents fighting swords, I can recommend Highlander.

Nathan Benefield

This remains my favorite film of all time. I can’t refute Nat’s notion that it is a film for dudes, especially young men in the mid-90s. But I really liked the long scenes with little or no dialogue…it made it real when no words could convey the emotion. And I think it is far superior to Gladiator. The scene of betrayal on the battlefield is epic. This is probably the first reaction on this channel where I’m crying more than Natalie, and I’ve seen the movie at least 30 times.

Thomas Richter

Daam. I forgot how long the princess hair was...

simon.shoots

2:57 should be the original version

Moshmallah

Anyone can do that: "that sounds like a Scottish opinion". It's very satisfying to be a victim and a few Scottish want a claim to it like the Irish who actually have a right to. Calling Longshanks evil is not responding to anything I said, there were better and worse noblemen and royalty, and he was pretty standard. Scottish royals and noblemen were just the same people, often closely related. You said the representation of the English is accurate and you haven't backed that up, it clearly isn't, if you want to play in the 'denying the perspective of historians because we don't like it' game, join the Nazis in that endeavour.

Tarjei

It was believed that Robert Bruce (Robert De Bruce's father) had leprosy, but modern scientific studies have cast serious doubts on this and most likely he did not. However it was still debated at the time of this film. Plus it builds under his treacherous nature in the film to have a physical defect so even if they knew at the time that the leprosy was a myth they probably would have used it anyway.

Ben Wheeler

I'd still watch the heck out of a Patriot reaction haha I used to do historic interpretation as my job just down the road a ways in Savannah so it's near to my heart.

Christopher Wise

Another great movie to watch that's basically the part 2 of this movie is Outlaw King on Netflix. it focuses on Robert the Bruce after William is Executed.

Jeff C

There is an ACTUAL sequel about Robert the Bruce, played by the same actor Angus Macfadyen.

Kareem Harper

For the record - PARAMOUNT IS THE WORST! Just saying since it looks like the YT edit got struck. Absolutely ridiculous.
