@@msboomerizzle303 Same here!! 41 years old and it still gets me everytime.. I can't physically watch it with my woman as I tease her for crying at nearly every movie she watches... So I pretend my hay fever has kicked in as not to be a hypocrite 🤣🤣🤣
@@scarecrowman7789 England doesn't "own" anything mate.. That's why they have to fix elections to keep us in in the Union.. We have one of the richest, untouched natural oil reserves in the world..
For me Stephen , insane Irish man is underrated. He came to fight and help, never fought against or betrayed. This movie for me is top 15 forever. It’s such a timeless classic. Great movie.
You guys are my favorite reaction channel. You both seem like very genuine people and are a joy to watch. You pick a lot of great films! This one in particular is a world apart from anything else.
I’m new to this channel but I’ve watched about eight today because I just found it but I have loved the selection of obscure movies how are you there’s so many of them that aren’t just super popular videos that everyone else reacted to. They do some of the more fun and obscure ones. I would love to see them do the color purple or the movie the cider House rules
The "they may take our lives" scene. As a kid seeing that... I was basically a rabid animal waiting for the next fight scene lmao. Hyped doesn't begin to describe it.
Goosebumps everytime….makes me want to lay my life on the line for william wallace….it gets me hyped & gets me to truly feel like WW is a true leader & warrior….”They may take our lives, but they may never take our Freeeedom”……im getting goose-pimples right now…lol
The wars of independence a time passed but even now Scotland is once again on the path to restoring her independence, this time we will do it through the ballot box ❤️🏴
Thistle scene is probably one of the most emotionally charged scene ever recorded in cinema.. such a simple scene.. but man it's stunningly beautiful.. sets the tone for the movie...
The battle between Scotland and England was real, William Wallace was real, his death being hung, drawn, and quartered was real. The queen in the movie did not live at the same time.
@@herodotus945 Yes, and it was awesome. The Scots met the English on the opposite side of the bridge, and let the English come to them. They could only cross two by two, and the mud was so slick on the other side that the English armor proved to be an issue.
The scene where Wallace picks up his girl for a ride in the rain... that wasnt planned like that but it was non stop raining on the set and they just went with the "nice scottish weather"
Slàinte Mhath & greetings from Scotland 👋 Thank you so much for honouring our national hero like this. Of course, the real story was so much more complicated but I think I speak for most Scots when I say we really cherish this film, despite most of it being filmed in Ireland 🤣
This movie, even though not historically accurate, made me proud to be Scottish, I wish it was historically accurate, and the parts I want to be true, always will be in my heart. My best movie, love it.
Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson and Tim Roth is a similar movie ( Scotland, historical ), but it takes place in a later period. Rob Roy was also a rebellious figure fighting the British in the 1700s.
My best friend growing up was Fillipino. His mom would always say "come on Bah. What are you doing, bah. Oh my goodness, Bah." what is "bah" is it like "man" in english? like "hey, man!"
Oh my gosh, as soon as they cut her throat and you said and this is where the story begins, I just about lost it goosebumps and watery eyes! I love this channel it makes me happy cry lol somebody’s cutting onions that’s all giggle giggle sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida
What a very wonderful couple you are enjoying this together and analyzing and feeling the emotion. Such a pleasure to see people from different backgrounds enjoying this, sharing in the things that make us all one. Power and freedom to us all
Despite the fact it's not accurate it still stands as one of the most emotionally charged inspiring film's ever made..imo anyway. In terms of the spirit of the film it is a genuine portrayal of Scottish will.
Scottish people who voted for independence only because of this shitty movie, and not some legitimate political or economic reason, didn't get the memo.
Oh nooooo! I wanted so much to see your reaction to Longshanks throwing Philip off the window, truly one of the funniest bits (dark humor) before the film gets all dramatic.
I saw this in the theatre with my mom when I was 12. The first big battle they have with "the spears" was the first time I uttered "holy shit" in front of mom without getting trouble because she was like "right?!"
Great reactions to a super movie. The story is so strong it draws you in and the characters are so well developed. Loved your reactions, they were so filled with emotion as you were drawn into the story.
You guys should watch the movie "Outlaw King", it follows Robert the Bruce's story from the end of this history until the first victory against an English army. By the way, Isabella of France (The Princess) historically rebelled and overturned her husband.
What an amazing reaction from you two, this is a great movie but the ending is hard to watch, life was brutal and hard in those days. "We are watching movies not documentaries" well said, we don't need all the comments "blah blah blah not factually correct blah blah blah" every time someone reacts to this movie, WE KNOW !
true but this movie went too far though I love it. wallace won one battle and Bruce was actually nicknamed Braveheart and led them to freedom and never betrayed scotland like the movie potrayed. and the queen was 2 years old
i’m scottish and this is one of my fave films even if it’s not historically accurate. william wallace was hung, drawn and quartered and parts of his body scattered across the uk. the wallace monument in stirling was built in his honour and holds part of the body parts. take care and stay safe 🏴😘
As a Scotsman interested in history I can say that Braveheart is, from a historical perspective, utter nonsense. It's more like romantic fantasy than history, so you definitely have the right approach - it's just a movie. But it did make Scotland's national hero a globally recognised figure and it's battle scenes are still among the best ever filmed.
I interpret it like a cinematic Medieval poem. Where it's focused more on romanticism than documentation. In this case, it romanticizes William Wallace as an inspiring figure for Robert The Bruce. It was Robert The Bruce, after all, that was called Braveheart. Robert The Bruce also bookends the film.
@@StarryStarryNocturne I agree. In a way, it reminded me of the heroes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The film also feels like a sort of robust prequel to a Robert The Bruce story. It would've been interesting to see that from director Mel Gibson.
It's almost better to be wildly inaccurate, particularly about ancillary aspects (dates, names, Isabelle's age). At least then it can plausibly renounce any claim to being a history lesson, and be immunized against fact checking. With this released in the early internet age, at least some of the story could be recognized as cinematic license, by people other than historians. It's worrying though that films like Gone With the Wind, over 50 years earlier, couldn't get that same level of critique, and thereby could pose as historical.
Been waiting on you 2 to react to this classic. Can't wait to watch 2 of my fav reactors! Edited: Great reaction! One of my fav Braveheart reactions. Keep it up!
@@billythedog-309 lol Most ppl in my experience learn before or soon after watching that it's not accurate... I'm sure it's in these comments prob at least 50x so at least that should give you solace lol
As estonian I feel this movie, what scotsman felt - we felt, but we could not win our freedom at year 1343, when we had our own uprising -it fell through. At the end estonians were slaves for 700years on their own land! We did gain our freedom at 1920, but lost it when russia occupied us 1944- followed ~50 years of occupation!
*Without a doubt,...Marian was a gladiator or warrior in past life* 😄. I could tell you were ready and pumped to fight after William Wallace's speech @ 17:05 and wanted to slay that traitor @ 32:02. Love your reactions! Much love from The States 🇺🇲 ❤ 🇷🇴
Robert the Bruce actually went down in history as one of Scotland's greatest heroes, a household name, and until Braveheart came out actually more commonly known than William Wallace.
One thing alot of people dont realize is that William wallace gave up when he was betrayed by Robert the bruce. When william went after the king and took his helmet off. The look of despair he gave he looked back and saw all his enemies coming he just laid down and waited for them. But its because of Mad stephen the loyal crazy bastard that he was able to escape and get up again. I love mad stephen . " moi island" lol
The French did try to help the Scots but it was 400 hundred years later in 1745 when Bonnie Prince Charles tried to free Scotland from England's rule. He failed. Loved this reaction, you two make me laugh a lot. Thanks 😊
Er, no, he wanted to take the throne of *England* and thus the whole of the United Kingdom; in doing so he caused untold misery and suffering and inadvertently extinguished the Gaelic Highland culture. He was an idiot, could barely speak a word of English or Scots, and saw the Scots themselves as nothing more than a vehicle to be used to be able to sit his arse in Buckingham Palace.
Thank you for such a long reaction, you were both amazing. Never afraid to show your emotion and passion for a film that inspires many to fight for what is good and right. As a Scotsman, this is of course a favourite movie of mine. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
@Marian You're right . It was Peter Parkers uncle Ben that said : "With great Power comes great Responsibility " ! (and it was not only his Motto/Catchphease in the Movies but also in the 50 Years of the Spiderman Comics )
I am a Scotsman and i just wanted to say that the English are very nice people. And of all the people in the world I am glad that it is them I live next too.
Yes, Scotland and France created an alliance in 1295, the Auld Alliance, against England. Though they agreed to come to each others aid against the English, politics being politics, the treaty wasn't called upon until around 1330. So essentially Scotland was left on their own to fight for their independence.
@@keithbald5066 Scotland did invade England a few time, even after an agreement not to invade while the English standing army was out of the country, a old General and a militia smaller than the Scottish army completely battered the Scots and chased them back to Scotland, look at the 'Battle of Flodden'.
Having never seen Braveheart , today I watched it thru your reaction and enjoyed it. The commentary between you 2 is addictive and I have watched many with you including The Rocky series , home alone and many others keep up the good work.
You need a full movie version of this review. I would watch the whole movie with you at least three times. When you do, I will subscribe and set the notification bell and share.
I find myself re-subscribing to you two's channel again Bă! Seeing that you react and share your thoughts on the movies most of our generation grew up watching and loving. You are a charming couple! Sănătate!
I saw this movie in the theater at 11 years old. It made me really feel the weight of death for the first time. I will never forget the quartering scene for as long as I live.
♥ Probably could be argued that this is the best medieval movies of all time. At the end of the movie, the battle portrayed is the the Battle of Bannockburn, where 25,000 English infantry soldiers and over 2,000 horsemen were defeated by only 6,000 Scots led by Robert the Bruce.
@Por Qué? I can't argue that it wouldn't have been more interesting if historically accurate, but it would be a document instead of a work of fiction. I think it ranks high on medieval movies on the musical score alone. 😉 Edit: I had to look to be sure, but it was James Horner and the London Symphony who knocked it outta the park. 😉
William Wallace in real life was even more fascinating. Quite a brute, from my understanding. I don’t blame him for that though, they were brutal times. The only thing about this movie that really disappoints me is their portrayal of The Battle of Sterling Bridge. The way it really went was pure genius.
I love your reactions. You get into the movie and don't try to figure out why. You just accept it for what it is...a good movie. You keep makin' 'em I'll keep watchin' 'em.
