@move_i_got_this5659 I thought it was brave too until today. I just rewatched the scene with subtitles. It's bled/bleed. Even the chapter is called Bleed With Me.
I was born in Belfast Northern Ireland and my family and I moved to the States when I was 8, I loved that line also and have used it quite a few times lol
Braveheart has one of my favorite film soundtracks of all time. And one of only a few I own along with Blade Runner, October Sky, and 28 Days Later. The score was done by James Horner who is one of the greatest film composers in the history of cinema. He also composed for Titanic, Field of Dreams, Glory, and many other classic films. He tragically died in a plane crash in 2015. And his early passing only makes his work even more moving, special, and iconic than it already was.
Braveheart and Gladiator.... Man. I love when new reactors come from Marvel and DC films completely blind and are invested from first moments, then emotionally wrecked, gotten inspired just to be wrecked again and then be inspired. The rollercoater of emotion, amazing direction and sheer performance in these films with absolutely amazing scores hit so hard. Out of all Braveheart reactions this is my favourite. Blue, you are so kind and honest with your feelings. This makes your reactions truly amazing to watch. Thank you!
Im a DC fan and that doesn’t affect my other movie choices. Like loving this movie and basically all of Mel Gibsons work. Apocalypto, Hacksaw Ridge, pay Back, etc.
I love the part of that scene where all the guards do their job and rush over to the fallen victim and look up and see the king and are like 'ope, nothing to see here...'
"Those horses are so pretty!" Oh dear. You're not going to like what comes next. By the way, I know it's rough seeing his two friends standing there doing nothing at the end, but realistically what were they supposed to do? They are in a major English city. Unimaginably outnumbered. Trying anything would just get them all killed as well.
I've seen this movie countless of times.. but when the father comes into a dream and tells "Your heart is free, have to courage to follow it" 6:00 ......... goosebumps and watery eyes all the times p.s. love the cat on the background
A war horse was a highly trained and valuable asset that wasn't easily replenished. Taking them out in battle was the simplest way to cut the enemies striking power. Take out the horse, take out the man. Hurts both tactically and strategically. It was ever thus.
Unofficial nonlawyer disclaimer: do NOT greet people in Scotland by throwing rocks at them unless you wanna discover how fast you can get your butt kicked 🤣 His friends, at the end, were there to bear witness to his execution, to honor their friend and if noticed by him, to give him strength in his convictions.
His execution was made more palatable for US movie audiences. The actual execution was done with the traditional method of being hung, drawn and quartered. He was dragged by horse naked through the streets to the site of the execution. Then he was hung, but not until death (as they showed). He was then castrated, disemboweled, his bowels burned, then beheaded and his body cut into four parts. His head was dipped in tar and put on a spike at London bridge, with the other four parts of his body on display at other locations. Yes, we have come up with horrific ways to kill each other. And no, once somebody is sentenced to that kind of execution, nobody would dare try to save you.
Only just started watching this... Just seen you crying at the girl giving him the thistle..... I'm chuckling to myself thinking you've got absolutely no chance of not bawling your eyes out at the end of the movie 😂
The story may be historically inaccurate but as a film, it's a definite classic! Love your reaction. Maybe you can react to Mel Gibson's The Patriot as well if you haven't done it and the, sort of, sequel to this film, The Outlaw King.
@@1IbramGaunt Mel didn't write it, Randall Wallace wrote it, Mel just directed. Also, filmmakers sometimes have to sacrifice accuracy in favor of storytelling. People can always learn the true history for themselves but their interest has to be piqued first. I myself probably would have never known the name William Wallace had it not been for this incredible yet historically inaccurate movie.
@johnfriday5169 OR you could always just watch something that WAS more accurate. Compare his "The Patriot" to "Master & Commander The Far Side Of The World". Gibson and his ilk see real history as a hindrance to filmmaking, rather than a solid foundation to build a good movie upon
10:05 The bit about the rain is probably the only accurate thing about this movie lol. Despite its inaccuracies and dramatizations, it's still one of my favorite movies.
Yes there is a few ,but the wars are right,and most of what is showing is right, Time line maybe off but Wallace did get hung drawn and quartered ,so which part in your mind makes it all fake?
@@belindakennedy5828 jesus i could make list the length of mey arm about the shit that never happend lol. Great movie tho. From start to finish its a fucking lie sprinkled with hints of truth. What parts do you think where real?
@@adrianocollinzo5712it's a movie, not a documentary genius! You think you're special pointing out the fact Braveheart isn't historically accurate? Or are you so triggered by the fact so many people love the movie and you like being a contrarian!
You should watch “outlaw king”. It’s sort of an unofficial sequel to Braveheart. It follows Robert the Bruce from the time immediately before and after Wallace’s execution in 1305 to 1307 or 1308 I think when he decides to rebel against England. I enjoyed it a lot.
The "They Don't Make Them Like That Anymore' school of filmmaking. Epic in every way - still a stand-out - make sure to seek SPARTACUS & GLADIATOR Trix.
This has to be the most comments even on a reaction I’ve ever done. The fear of heavy horse, Blue, until the advent of a pike formation was terribly justified. Inertia alone of 2,000lbs of trained warhorse, barding and armoured rider would literally crush a lightly or non armoured infantryman. Plus the ability to move and close at speed, inside a longbow volley……a morally breaking opponent to be sure.
Without hesitation, I can say that this is one of the best movies ever made (if you can overlook the historical inaccuracies). The theme, the subject matter, the cinematography, the acting, the accents, the mustic--there is not a thing wrong with this movie. It is a constant roller coaster of emotion, and I always find myself wanting to go for the ride again. I basically know this movie by heart. Great reaction. And proper freedom is underrated these days--people have forgotten why so many peoples in the world fought so hard to achieve it.
Yet somehow she talked over half the dialogue, and therefore missed a good chunk of the plot. By the second half of this film she's yelling at the screen "Why?!? Why are they doing this? Who are those guys?". And I started yelling at MY screen "STFU ya stupid bint, and ya might figure it out!". Then I just gave up and found soething else to watch.
I am so sick of hearing about the inaccuracies. Why does everyone have to bring up the fact that Braveheart isnt 100% accurate. This is the only movie that takes this kind of s**t. And do you people really think that any movie about WW2 is 100% accurate?? That's 80 years old. The events of Braveheart took place 600 years ago
I've never seen a reaction to Braveheart like this. It might be the best one on RU-vid? For as mature as you are, you're also very innocent and pure of heart. And for as famous as this movie is, you knew nothing about it, and experienced it as the rollercoaster it was meant to be. Beautiful reaction. And you can appreciate that being "kind of" historically accurate is better than nothing. The movie has a weight that pure fiction does not.
You will know this from personal experience but the Scottish are some of the funniest people you will ever meet in your whole life or the British in general but the Scottish as well.
Great movie. You should also react to his underrated great action movie Ransom. Also other great historical movies are Rob Roy 1995 and The Count of Monte Cristo 2002. It is funny you are not from the UK from the first time I saw your reaction I thought you are from the UK from your accent :)
I was working at the movie theatre when this came out. We had so many people faint and/or have medical emergencies b/c the movie is so emotionally intense and graphic.
I had to unlearn my own history after watching this as a kid and taking it as the truth. Everyone will tell you it's not accurate, but it does do a good job of reminding us why we have a chip on our shoulder 😀 Aww, can't believe you were studying in Aberdeen. Love ya even more now blue!
@WatchEuropaTheLastBattle WW2 was essentially televised with source documents and treaties from all sides widely available. Apples and orangutans. Though there are surely some public misconceptions and ignorances.
@@readsomebooks666 Culloden wasn't Scotland vs England. The Jacobite period was a good example of why the working class should have a chip on their shoulder against the upper classes!
We are still struggling for our Freedom to this day! And the English won't except us as a Sovereign nation which we are. So come ahead the english. ALBA GU BRATH YA BAS 🏴🏴🏴
Blue, I was in England for about 6 months in the early '90s, near Cambridge. I worked about 6 days a week. Right before I was supposed to leave I took about 5 days off and went to Scotland. I went to a pub almost straight off. The bartender came up and said something to me, I had no idea what he said. I said,"what." He changed his accent and came back and asked me what I wanted to drink. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed my trip there.
You might want to react to DRACULA by Francis Ford Coppola, with Keanu Reeves, Gary Oldman and Wynona Rider. I found that Vlad Tepes the Impaler fought his biggest battle against the Ottomans, on BULGARIAN soil. One of history's worst monsters - although he got the impaling idea out of the Ottomans themselves and the Sultan even admired him for it. WTF. None of this is specified in the film but I thought you, or some viewers, might be interested.
I love everything about Bram Stoker's Dracula. People criticize Keanu's accent, but I find it endearing. The harkening back to films like Nosferatu. Oldman is like a force of nature in the role of the count. I've heard also that it borrows from the D&D Ravenloft setting, with the romance for Strahd and Irina echoing in the romantic entanglements in the Coppola film.
@@AZURAKAZ Oh nice! I was an avid D&D player once upn a time, and we were supposed to play Ravenloft but the group disbanded about that time with everyone going to university and stuff. Hey, i you haven't played the legendary game Planescape: Torment, you really should. Scenario by Chris Avellone, it's a fantastic trip. You can probably find it for a buck or two.
I know this film is notorious for being plenty inaccurate and changing many details, but I to believed Edward II WAS indeed "Defeated by Scots at Bannockburn" in 1314.
Of all the inaccuracies of this movie, the biggest one might be a little girl just plucking the flower off a thistle. Those things are tough, spicy and difficult to cut. It might be why they are the symbol of Scotland.
The New World by Terrence Malick ( 2005 ) , Agora ( 2009 ) and Barry Lyndon ( 1976 ) by Stanley Kubrick are my favourite historical films and i heartily recoomend them Trixy!! Especially the former and the latter were RELIGIOUS OUT OF THIS WORLD CINEMATIC EXPERIENCES to see live at the theater. Nothing like it since... on the sci fi unique films i would also say Blade Runner ( 1982 ) with harrison ford was amazing to see at the cinemas when they released the directors cut in 08. Its a very fmaous cult movie with a huge following and hearted debate over it for decades now... And recently they made a sequel also very worth watching! all these filmes, deserve big screen cinema experience or at least a big home screen or a big wide HDTV. Enjoy!
It is no wonder this movie would inspire you and touch something deep inside, your grandparents could probably relate to it even more strongly as people who lived through the tyranny and deprivation of Russian communism that oppressed Bulgaria for decades following the literal slavery you knew for centuries under the Ottoman Turks.
The implication with the young courtier Edward the Longshanks tossed out a window is that Edward's son is gay, and that was his lover. Thus, the prince's immediate attempt to kill King Edward in revenge.
I have heard of Prima Nochte but I have heard that (if it was ever used at all) it was meant as an excuse to instigate a fight with the local people. troops would be brought in to a nearby area then Prime Nochte would be declared. When a lord would say he was going to take the newly married woman to his bed, the inevitable reaction would turn violent (as anyone would). At that point, the troops waiting for the violent reaction would come in and attack the locals in order to beat down the local population and oppress them. It is a really terrible thing to do. I am surprised the Church would not object.
You mentioned how graphic the battle scene was. I saw this for the first time in the county's biggest theatre screen. I felt like I needed to dodge and duck. It was great.
This has always been one of my favorite movies! i was super young when i first saw it and i cry like a little baby every time i see it. lol One thing to know though, years later i found out it was basically historically inaccurate except for the battle of Sterling. Still a great movie anyways.
In the movie, it seemed most of the English soldiers were conscripts, meaning drafted men. Not well trained and recently taken from farms or the like. Not sure if that's historical to the battle but for the movie, that's probably the case. The Scots were passionate and inspired
This is one of my favorite films while realizing that this movie is horribly inaccurate. To start with, the kilt was not worn until the 1800's. I wish they would have shown the real battle at Stirling Bridge. To start with you need a bridge. The bridge was narrow, and the Scotts attacked the English before they could move all of their army across making the superior numbers meaningless due to their inability to bring those numbers to force. The princess did not marry the prince until 3 years after the death or William Wallace, so they never even met. Interestingly, the prince was only king for a short time before being deposed and having is son, or at least the son of Princess Isabella. She then ruled as regent from 1327 to 1330 until Edward the third became of age. It was rumored that Edward the second may have had romantic relations with several of the nobles of England.
