This is when you know you've seen a movie too many times I am just starting this reaction, , am nowhere near that part, but saw this comment at a quick glance, knew immediately what this was about and preemptively find the commentt hilarious
@@journeymariereacts The flower William gives Murron is the same flower she gave him all those years ago at the funeral of his father & brother. Also the thing the English poured onto the Scottish men who were battering the gate was boiling oil. It was a common tactic defenders used in those times.
I’m from Scotland. I agree. We have a weird relationship with this movie here because we learn the real history in school and this is obviously inaccurate af. But it’s still a great movie so I for one have always forgiven it. My dad was also an extra in it so it gets all the passes 😂
Your eyes speak, Marie! I feel like I have watched the entire film through your eyes! You are much more emotional than you think! But that's not bad; Rather, I think it is beautiful when you allow your Soul to express itself!! Great Reaction Lovely! By the way, you just made me a little curious at minute 51:39 you said "Ay Caramba" Do you speak any Spanish? Thank you for making the rest of my day Perfect 😊!
Fantastic movie - endlessly re-watchable. The whole cast kills it but I think Robert The Bruce might be my favorite- you have to play it just right so that people don't hate him but actually felt his regret and rooted for him as well. It's so good lol loved the reaction ;)
47 years ago, English musician, Paul McCartney released a Scottish flavored pop song called, "Mull of Kintyre", complete with bagpipes. It was a homage to the beauty of Scotland in the area of Kintyre where he had owned a farm for many years. The song sold over 2,000,000 copies in the U.K.
I had already given this a thumbs-up when I initially saw this, but revisiting, I noticed I hadn't commented on how good it was; the editing was, as always ,exceptional. I really enjoyed this.
I love your reactions.... Always up and down... They remind me of watching a young Tiger Woods playing a round of golf in a major tournament. He'd gloat and smile when he was pleased with a great shot. The very next shot, if he messed it up, he'd get upset and throw out an expletive. Ha ha ha! Up and down, but oh so fun to watch. I like your videos for the same reason. Keep up the good work...
Great reaction ! If you like this sort of thing I’d love to see you react to The Last of the Mohicans (1992). Also romantic with lots of action and great music.
But not so much with anyone who respects and desires historical accuracy. It is widely acknowledged to be one of the most inaccurate 'historical' movies ever made.
Hey Marie omg my family and I loved Braveheart (1995) truly a classic brutal war drama film and one of Mel Gibson’s finest performances in his career!! I’ve seen this movie over 150 times💯William Wallace was truly a hero and a great warrior!! The princess of wales played by Sophie Marceau was so attractive in this film❤️ Stephen the Irishman was so goddamn hilarious character!! Great reaction love 👏🏼 great movie
49:30. So I was trying to figure out what you were eating straight out of a can, and it was with those sounds, and you’re just chowing down on something yellow, I hope it was pineapple, fuuuuuu! That’s hard core!😆🌿🌸
45:36 "Am I trippin'? What the hell?" 😄 The volunteer who came in earlier, Stephen, whom you have had a tendency to refer to as a _mad_ man, explained that he was "the most _wanted man_ on my island," by which he meant _Ireland._ It was _his_ island, meaning he _ruled_ it. He was the _king_ and the English had _displaced_ him, and in so doing, given him an _axe_ to grind with them. But King Stephen knows the hearts of his countrymen; knows how _they_ struggle under the English yoke just as the _Scots_ do. So he knew the Irish wouldn't really be a _problem._ As the old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my _friend._
Stephen was NOT a king. At the time of the story, Ireland had a complex landscape of regional kings and lords, each exerting authority over specific territories, but with no unified sovereign ruling over the entire island: even when the office of High King existed (about two centuries before), it was just a ceremonial office held by the senior king / lord. Also, at this time, the effects of the Welsh-Norman invasion of Ireland in the 1170s were receding, and for two generations the Gaelic nobility had been reclaiming lost territories. As such, it would be an odd time for someone claiming to be king to go glory-hunting in Scotland, when he could actually be ruling back home.
@@dominicbuckley8309 🤔 He wasn't glory hunting. He was in Scotland because the English had _dethroned_ him in Ireland, so he _didn't_ have the option to rule, there.
@@lazyperfectionist1 He didn't have the option to rule because he never existed. He was a fictitious character made up for the movie. Same as the Irish fighters swapping sides during the battle of Falkirk: never happened because they weren't there. The Welsh archers _threatened_ to change sides *before* the battle (over a dispute about food rations), but ultimately remained loyal.
Enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite movie. Fun Fact: The actor who played William's best friend father is the same actor who played Lord Commander Mormant of the Nights watch in Game of Thrones.
I don't understand why some people need to point out in every "Braveheart" reaction that this movie is historically unaccurate? It doesn't matter if it's historically accurate or not, but the movie is really powerful, and that's the main thing!
Another great one! Great reaction to a great movie. Happy you enjoyed it :) have you seen any of the following? I promise you will love all of them. From that list, I think you'd like the first the most but all are really good :) -Last Samurai -Warrior (2011 MMA movie with Tom Hardy) -House of Sand and Fog
@@journeymariereacts Yay :) I cant wait for you to watch one and see what you think. Well have a great evening and looking forward to your future content. Tough to be a in a bad mood after watching one of your vids. Positive vibes.
Hi, I’m from Glasgow, Scotland and this is definitely one of my fave movies. It’s not in my top 3 though those are reserved for the planet of the apes reboot Rise, Dawn and War starring Andy Serkis as Caesar. Those films are masterpieces you should definitely check them out if you haven’t already seen them before the new one Kingdom of the planet of the apes comes out in May 2024. Now Back to Braveheart, William Wallace was a real person and became high protector of Scotland. He really did fight those battles and he really was executed by being hung, drawn and quartered. The romance part of the film isn’t historically accurate. When William Wallace’s body was torn to pieces a part of him came to Scotland as a warning to the Scott’s and they built a memorial to him. It’s called the Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland and it also holds his sword the claymore which stands at 5ft tall in a glass case that you can see. Thankyou for reacting to one of Scotlands heroes. Take care 😘🏴
I liked your personality instantly, I nearly gave up due to sound shit but I'm glad I stuck with you 👍 that was a class watch. My names William I'm from Scotland 🏴 I don't know how my RU-vid videos got me here but I'm glad it did. You are a class act I loved that 😂.
As a Scotsman from Edinburgh the movie is great but inaccurate. How Wallace got executed was true and so was the battle we won when heavily outnumbered. But for instance Robert the Bruce and Wallace never met, And Wallace was a great warrior but not the true hero of Scotland. Infact dispute how this movie portrays Robert the Bruce he was actually the real hero of Scotland. He was never a coward and put his title and life on the line to fight for Scotland. He got down and dirty with his army by digging trenches with them and didn’t tell them to do things he wouldn’t. He was also a great warrior and tactician. A very accurate series to watch about the war is “Outlaw King”. It is about Robert The Bruce and his real story. It’s accurate from the real story all the way to battle tactics. I highly recommend it!!!! This was a great reaction!!!! Keep them coming 😁👍🏻.
The prince and his "friend" were definitely lovers. i think they tried to make it clear when they showed him looking back at him during the royal wedding. Also FREEDOM.
The chain that William pulled out was not nunchucks it is is called a flail. It was a chain on a stick. It was a farming tool that used to separate what from the chaff. Later is was used as a weapon like William used it.
44:25 "I like how he encourages people." Yeah. That's a good trait. Personally, though, I think his time would be better spent getting the nobles to unite under a _single leader,_ under a _single flag,_ so they stop squabbling with each _other._ That problem pops up _way_ too persistently, and it lays _waste_ to all the progress he actually _makes._
Oh, also, William’s sword is a Scottish claymore… a seriously gnarly weapon. I know because I own one, and it’s razor sharp. I could easily cleave a man in two with it.
I think you would LOVE an old WW II movie starring Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown and others called "The Dirty Dozen", also try "Twins" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito"
Marie i recommend if you react to 2004’s The Passion of the Christ it was directed by Mel Gibson and that movie was beyond much brutal & deep saddened films ever!! Jim Caviezel’s performance should’ve won an Academy Award for his portrayal as Jesus💯so plz react to your channel!!
Ignore all of the Mel-hating naysayers. Braveheart is one of the greatest, most timeless and effective movies ever made. It is arguably the greatest Medieval war movie ever made
0:55 "Scotland's nobles _fought_ him and fought each _other_ over the crown." And that was the key problem. They expended resources fighting each _other_ that were, subsequently no longer available to fight King Longshanks. England was united. Scotland was not. It's the age-old principle of divide-and-conquer.
Edward Longhanks is widely considered one of the greatest monarchs in British history. His son Edward II was one of the worst. Edward II was overthrown by his wife, Queen Isabella of France and was murdered later that year. Despite her depiction in this film, Isabella was only 9 years old at the time of William Wallace's death.
Hey Marie! Hope you doing well. Freedom is the most precious thing in this life right? I feel so bad for Palestinians. They living like that for 70 years. I thought maybe I might suggest some rare gems you wanna see later. Gonna write down for you: Rounders, RocknRolla, Spy Game, Manchester by the Sea, In Bruges, Chaos Theory, Matrix trilogy, Logan Lucky, Notting Hill, Silver Lingings Playbook. Take care lady.
I'm from Scotland originally, and this was one of my favourite movies of that era(even though some of it was historically inaccurate)it was still brilliantly acted..yes you were right Maria"William Wallace"wife was the little girl at the beginning of the movie that gave him the thistle(a Scottish emblem)at his dad's burial...The history between Scotland and England is very old and complicated, as much as there was rivalry between the two nations, there is a lot of mutual respect too(hense) why both countries joined alliances and formed the united kingdom in 1707 💪👍🇬🇧
Well Keep in mind, these events happened almost 1,000 years ago, and at that time it is estimated that about 5% of the worlds population knew how to read, and about 2% kneew how to write, and only about .1% or less could do it in more than a single language
3:51 At least this much is literary license. In real life, William Wallace's father was still alive when William began leading armed raids. But psychology compels human beings to find inspiration in a hero who has had to overcome traumatic loss.
11:42 "So, nobody just don't need to get _married,_ no more, 'cuz..." Fortunately, this custom, if I understand correctly, has no record of ever having happened.
54:25 _Here's_ literary license. This meeting could not _possibly_ have actually taken place. Princess Isabella, at the time of this conflict, was only a few weeks old, and still in France.
Allegedly. He was allegedly having sex with his war counsel, and he was allegedly killed by order of his wife who was allegedly having an affair of her own.
Tbh I like being able to edit out mistakes etc, & everything I cut out is mostly me not talking or anything. So idk if I’ll ever make a patreon but u never know😊
Apt description calling it game of thrones- like, martin based alot of it on the war of the roses and other British history which if you get into it, is really messed up 😂
You guessed it, according to this movie, the Prince was in love with Phillip. That is why the narrator said that the King would have to have sex with the Prince's new wife .
Yes it was William Wallace's baby. The King's son (her husband) was supposed to be gay. They only married to unify England with France. The guy the king threw out of the window was his partner.
I love this movie, my number 1 movie of all time, because I'm Scottish, yeah I know the movie is loosely based on the life of William Wallace, guardian and high protector of Scotland, and I also know a lot of the movie was made for dramatic purposes, but we will never know EXACTLY how much of this actually happened, as none of us were there, so as far as I'm concerned, I believe a lot of this movie, I don't care if it's true or not. I've been to the dungeons in Edinburgh, if you are ever in Edinburgh you should go there for the day, it's great, I learned some torture methods that the English used on their enemies, and with William Wallace, after hanging, and stretching him, they cut him, from his balls up past his belly, and let his intestine pour out in front of everyone, before beheading him, and ripping his body apart.
Well, we KNOW the Scots didn't wear kilts: we KNOW the Scots battle-colour was yellow, not blue/white; we KNOW Robert the Bruce didn't betray Wallace at Falkirk (cos he wasn't there); we KNOW there was a bridge at the battle of Stirling Bridge; we KNOW Wallace never had a relationship with the English queen; we KNOW that Wallace's trial was one of the earliest examples of a prosecution for war crimes; and we KNOW that 'Braveheart' was the nickname given to Robert the Bruce, not William Wallace. That's enough to be going on with for now...
