Mercy!! 😭😭 BRAVEHEART (1995) Movie Reaction!! Indian First Time Watching! 

It's not important how historically accurate this is. It's a tale about freedom. And it's important.

I was 14 when I saw this on a Thursday-midnight showing on the night before it opened! I. WAS. BLOWN. AWAY. This film stirred a passion in me I had never felt before. The rush... was incredible... and I remember immediately going home afterwards and lifting weights until the sun came up. Years later, I actually got to tell that story to Mel while working on one of his other films, and he told me that after the very first screening of this movie, his producer looked at him and said, "little boys are going in to see your movie, and they are coming out men." This guy is LEGEND. Please watch his Mad Max movies!

Mel Gibson did a fantastic job on this movie. Almost all of the extras are Scots. The Scottish loved it so much, that when it was released it played for 2 years in the theater in Edinburgh. Great reactions!!

❤️ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This movie gets a lot of hate for not being historically accurate. However, it's a Hollywood movie. If people want to know what actually happened in fine detail, they should take the time to read the historical sources. Buy a textbook 🙂

"THE TRUE SOLDIER FIGHTS NOT BECAUSE HE HATES WHAT IS IN FRONT OF HIM, BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES WHAT IS BEHIND HIM" -G.K.CHESTERTON

This movie makes me grateful to have been born in the 20th century.

You might also like his movie "The Patriot".

A true story that will make any Scotsman cry and feel proud!

This film is more important now than when it was released.

had to drop a comment to say it was a joy to watch you two react to this. And I loved how you started refering to William as "Sir William" after he was knighted - great reaction guys

The bare bones of the story was true enough. No one could save him at the end because he was actually hung drawn and quartered in reality.

Mel Gibson got lots of hate for comments he made in public but that man can put some serious emotions front and behind camera. Just Look him in The Patriot, Mad Max 1-3, The Leathal Weapons 1-4. You can't just help but be immersed the energy he has. Also as Director: Apocalypto and Hacksaw Ridge are toptier films. Gibson got serious talent.

Ya'll misunderstood the narrative in the beginning of the movie where they told you his son was gay and the King would have to conceive his own heir to get one. His son's consultant was his lover and who the King threw out the window. One of my favorite scenes.

Dude on the right has an incredible memory for names and words. Can't believe he remembered who all the characters were, even minor ones.

Ahem.....you left me hanging just waiting for Return of the King!! Good job on Braveheart, one of my all time favorites.

Yes it is a true story but, like most movies, much was changed for the movie. William Wallace was real and fought for the freedom of Scottish people.

Yeah yeah yeah, inaccuracies. The message of freedom is what's important.

So the end scene when he’s on the cross being tortured, they weren’t taking his organs out they were castrating him. That’s something they actually did to the real William Wallace

Saw this and part of it about 4-5 times during my military preview when I was 15 and by now I ve seen it over 60 times. I rank this movie in the top 3 of my all time favourites. btw Mel Gibson did this movie to bring recognition to on of the Scottish Folk Heroes he had never heard of, after hearing the story of William Wallace he wanted the world to know about him, so he made this movie and today millions of people who never heard of this Scottish person know about him, Mel Gibson pretty much made William Wallace immortal.......This is not a documentary or historical movie in the way of facts.....

Amazing film. I think you will both love it! Its maybe 60% historically accurate, but still a great movie.

Prima nocte (the right of nobles to be with every common woman on their wedding night) is basically a historical urban legend. It was popularized by writers who hated the aristocracy and wanted them to seem even worse than they actually were. Vaguely similar customs might have existed in ancient times in some places, but there's no evidence prima nocte ever happened anywhere in Europe during the Middle Ages. That's one of many historical inaccuracies in this movie. It's still a great movie though.

There WAS a lot of artistic license taken in this film. A LOT, lol. Regardless, Robert the Bruce - the Scottish guy who became king of Scotland at the end - was TRULY an awesome figure. Almost united Great Britain under the Scots in real life. Regardless, "let not the truth get in the way of a good story" lol, and it was a very entertaining tale. Also there is a saying in Scotland that goes something like "six highlanders and a set of bagpipes a rebellion makes", ha ha! If you liked this you might be interested in "Rob Roy" another film about a Scottish revolt against the English a few hundred years later. The last one in fact. Keep up the great work loud guys!

I loved your reactions- very unique. Thank you for your passion and observations. Much of the movie had historical basis, and it was fantastic entertainment. The 2019 movie Robert the Bruce, which I enjoy, has the same actor, Angus McFadden as Bruce, picks up the story soon after this movie ends, and goes up to Bannockburn. Now I have to check out more of your reactions.

They took a lot of historical liberties, but there was a Willliam Wallace that fought the English before The Bruce became king of Scotland.

This movie is very very loosely based on true events. However, this movie is awesome.

I love Braveheart. But there is another film set in Scotland that's just as good. Rob Roy, starring Liam Neeson. I think it even came out in the same year. Great bookends.

It is a very dramatic and compelling movie. I just hope that the Loud Guys take the time to look up all the reasons why practically nothing in the movie is really quite true. Mel Gibson really does know how to dramatize events, but he is not very good at making movies that represent actual history. ✌💯😁

This might not be the right place, but can I suggest a film? “Only The Brave” is a true story about a crew of wildland firefighters (fight wildfires), and how they became regarded as one of the most elite firefighter crews in America. It’s actually a pretty interesting story about how wildfires are fought, plus it’s a true story.

Loved both of your reactions. Hello from Scotland 😊

Scotland was a divided society, the Lowland Scots like Bruce were culturally like the English and even owned lands in England. The Highland Scots were not. This difference continued until the Highlanders were expelled from their own country by the end of the 19th century. That is how England gradually took it over.

I have watched this movie over 30 times, and cry at it everytime. This is my number 1 movie of all time, because I'm Scottish, lol. It is based very loosely on the life of William Wallace, who became high protector of Scotland and then a national icon. In Scotland if people wanted to run away and get married, they would go to a small town, on the border of Scotland called Gretna, and to this day people still go there to get married, in this movie, it's possible that's where William and Morran went to get married, even though in real life, there was no record of William Wallace being married.

Very few countries on this planet wouldn't enjoy movies about English colonists getting their asses handed to them.

I appreciate that Bruce's mail coif came up to his chin in the final battle

William Wallace , Robert The Bruce & the French Crown Princess who fall in love with him are real people but what's unaccurate is that all of them lived in different period of medieval times so they never meet each other

Most farmers were soldiers in the middle ages. During the middle ages there were no such thing as a standing army, so farmers were made to train as soldiers and when war came the call went out. Pretty much everyone was eligible to fight in the middle ages, even the rich. Part of having a lordship was that you were to be called upon to be a man at arms, so only the young and the old were not fighting.

6:16 there is an old saying that pertains to your thoughts. It’s better to be a warrior in a garden, than to be a gardner in a war.

Please consider EXCALIBUR (1981) starring Liam Neesom, Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, and Gabriel Byrne

Another great (and more historically accurate) Scottish movie is Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson

I enjoyed your review of Braveheart, thank you so much for sharing it with us…William Wallace was a real Scottish hero, and his death was more brutal than was seen in this film, we have a national Monument dedicated to him. The princess of Wales was three at the time of his death and was living in France. Robert the Bruce was not at the battle of Falkirk fighting for the Scottish or English. The Irish did switch sides but came over to the Scottish side the night before the battle. The shortest distance between Scotland and Ireland is sixteen miles across the Irish sea. The English did kill Muireann because they could not get Wallace. Scotland did win its freedom at the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 were there is a monument to Robert the Bruce and a visitor centre. you should watch the Outlaw King which is historically accurate and shows how Robert the Bruce became king.

Forget the Irish He was fighting England.

Movie have lot of historical inaccuracies but it was awesome. Many things didn't happen but many others did. Anyway movie is epic no matter of some inaccuracies. Great reaction Loud Guys ;-)

The name William comes from William the Conqurer, the name Wallace means Of Wales which makes William Wallace an Anglo-Saxon nobleman an oppressor of the Scots, the name Robert De Bruce means Robert of Brussles, yet another Anglo-Saxon nobleman and another oppressor of the Scots, these people were Anglo-Saxon English rebelling against the Norman English, not an English Scottish war but rather an internal English power struggle.

Prima Nocte is something that was concocted by Various Nobles of Europe, and was basically how entire Noble families were destroyed when the local towns folk would rise up and kill their nobles for attempting to use the right of First night. For the most part, it refered to a Marriage tax, which the Husband's family paid to the Bride's family, since there was an exchange of goods, the local noble would get his cut, jokingly in leiu of taken sexual favors with the bride, it was understood that if a Noble actually attempted to take these 'rights' he would generally be killed immediately or basically live in fear from vengful villagers.

If you fancy watching a slightly more accurate film about the Scottish Wars of Independence I'd recommend A Muppet Christmas Carol. This stands for the American Revolutionary Wars too as The Patriot contains almost as much Bullsh*tery as Braveheart does 😉😊

Beautiful people in every way.

I love seeing what your snacking on im always curious about different snacks.

I was born in Lanark where the fort was attacked. Live in Australia now.

This was such a great reaction, probably the best I've seen of this film on here.

I love your "woooo" but I love you two understanding and actually feeling the story of these kinds of movies.... respect.

It is a highly fictionalized story of real people and historical events. The battles are real. Robert the Bruce is real. Wallace is real, but the extent of his actions is difficult to separate fact from legend.

While it is not 100% historically accurate it is based on several different people that fought for Scottish independence. Btw, the relationship with the French princess never happened in real life. She would have been 3 years old at the time.

Robert never betrayed William. It's not even confirmed that they met at all.

The battles did really happen between the Scots and the English although like every other movie there is licence taken for the sake of the movie. But the battles were real.

If you want to watch another movie like this I highly recommend, The Messenger (1999). The story of Joan of Arc.

In the very broad strokes it's true, but ALOT of the particulars aren't. The English didn't have Prima Nocta. The Celtics did, as was the blue war paint. The scots didn't do that, but the Celtics did. Robert the Bruce and Wallace were rivals (they both wanted to lead the Scots). The English prince and princess were children when this took place, so their story was false, although the princess did rule instead of the prince later, as depicted. No Wallace child, though. The first Wallace battle (Sterling) was fought on a bridge, and that's how they won. The massive English army wasn't worth anything, since they could only fight through the width of the bridge. Enjoy the movie for what it is, but it's not a history lesson.

the King's son wants a husband not a bride.

Some actual historical details that differ from the film.... The French princess never met William Wallace, he was executed when she was a small child. Wallace started his rebellion long before his wife Murron's death, that incident just drove him further, the incident happened indoors. King Edward the Longshanks died years after Wallace's execution, not in the same event. Before Wallace's death, the English dragged him on the ground by horse all the way to his execution. The real battle of Stirling was on a bridge, on which Walaces forces had the English trapped. The original Stirling Bridge was replaced by the current bridge centuries ago, but interstingly, archaeologists recently found the support stones of the original bridge underwater just a short distance from the modern bridge! Scottish kilts were not in style as men's fashion at that time, not until about a century later, or more. English bagpipes were used instead of Scottish bagpipes, the sound of Scottish bagpipes is deeper/heavier and they felt it would be less interesting for the movie.

You are both really engaging to watch.

The basics are true , Wallace won a great battle against the English in 1297 he got beat in a later battle in 1298 he was later betrayed by a Scotsman and taken to London to be executed by Edward I in 1305. Edward I died in 1307, Robert Bruce beat the English at Banockburn in 1314 and England eventualy gave up attacking Scotland and sued for peace in 1328, but wasn`t long before the English once again couldn`t just leave us alone.

Don't know if anyone else said it, but to answer your confusion about "it was rumoured that for the princess to concieve, Longshanks would have to do the honors himself".......this was an insult in reference to the prince, Longshank's son lacking "the balls" as he was not considered a man. He was a homosexual as was demonstrated throughout by his apathy and somewhat contempt for his wife, his looking away her at the wedding to make eye contact with Phillip and shunning her to run to Phillip in times of distress.

Scottish victories in the Battle of Stirling and Bannockburn are fact.

William Wallace is the hero in the Scottish national anthem....Oh flower of Scotland, when will we see your like again?

The time and wars and important characters are real, but their personal lives and interactions are largely fictionalized.

All farmers are warriors

Most of the facts were real but over different time periods to different people. The reason the critics single this movie out and not say, "ARGO" (or a ton of others) is because Mel fell out of grace with Hollyweird. They lost their minds when Mel made "The Passion of the Christ" also.

The flower is a thistle, the national symbol of Scotland.

The English eventually granted land in northern Ireland to Scottish lords..it's part of why there has been conflict there

In 2014 there was a referendum, should Scotland leave the UK. In the end it was quite close with 55% to stay. Rumour has it that this movie was banned from TV while the referendum was taking place.

The Irish mad man is historically correct 😂😂😂😂

One of the Best movies Ever !!!

Mel Gibson has his own film company, icon productions. Most of his films are based on real events or true war stories. William Wallace was a real person. Mel's head writer/producer/director guy, is a descendant of William Wallace!!😮😮😮 He also did, once we were soldiers (true story) and hacksaw Ridge (true story) the Patriot)his character based on Lighthorse Henry Lee!) he also did that movie about Jesus The Christ, about 10 years ago.

The mere sight of him will only encourage an Enemy to take over all of England. Lmao

This is a real story and at the beginning at the wedding they made it very clear that his son was gay he was looking at his lover in the crowd.

The English were never too kind to my country Ireland, Scotland and India.

Great work

It is based somewhat roughly on historical events

48:50 what are they doing? They are cutting off his stick and stones.

favorite movie of all time

Gladiator is a good one..not sure if a reaction was already done..The Last Of The Mohicans is another good one from around this time period of movies

Love these two.

Great reaction guy's amazing film I'm English and obviously wanted Scotland to gain their freedom 🤣 we're nice people in general I promise

Wllliam Wallace fell at Falkirk. He didn't have an affair with the French princess, and Robert the Bruce went on to win Scotlands freedom at Bannockburn.

Do The Bounty staring Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Bernard Hill and others, a great ses epic.

History is full of these stories, but yes this one is true.William Wallace is a Schottlands National Here. One of Many. SFC.D.WILSON U.S Airborne Rangers / Cavalry-SPFOR ret.

Like all good stories there is a thread of truth sewn throughout it.

HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF HUNG DRAWN AND QUATERED!

Hard to imagine there would be a Gladiator without Braveheart. Nearly identical films yet very different.

Great review guy’s respect

This movie is based on real UK history. The Outlaw King on Netflix is the more historically accurate depiction of the same events with just as gory battle scenes. You should check that one out next for comparison's sake.

Me and my lady Jewish friend went and saw it the day it came out we cried through the whole movie

I love your guys reaction.

I bet The Loud Guys would love The Last Samurai.

The English never conquered Scotland. The realm was signed away in a shady deal, allowing Great Britain to claim Scotland to this very day, and yet, it is honorary, for the reality remains; England never conquered Scotland.

PRIMA NOCTE was back than a actually thing, in my region of Europe But it was more so a way, to make the lord attempt a wedding, than he would receive a single coin, as a tax to stand down, from his right to the first night It was never actually consumed So it was more a feudal tax and respect thing

farmer or no, ALL Scotts are warriors.

Yes William Wallace was a real person.

In that era, one was a man if one made it out of his swaddling clothes. Practically.

Be honest guys, always.

This movie is %90 fiction, but that doesn't mean it's not a great movie. If you enjoyed the movie, you should read up on the actual history, it's just as fascinating.

My favorite movie. Thank you for the reaction.
