Im English and I'm genuinely embarrassed by my countrymen who get mad at this movie. It's just a fricking film, get off it.
Plus, most Scots are self aware enough to know this film is BS, they vandalized that post-movie William Wallace statue because it looked too much like Mel Gibson and people hated it lol
The statue story was genuinely hilarious (pic related, the cage was due to said vandalism). They had to get rid of it and nobody else wanted to buy it. Iirc it actually went to one of Trump's golf courses.
For the unaware, the real Wallace would've been dressed more like a Knight in proper metal armour, so this depiction is akin to portraying George Washington with a Mohawk and Tomahawk.

I don’t think gays can donate plasma or blood. When I was broke I donated plasma and one of the main questions was if you had any same sex relations, or if you lived or were intimate with anyone who had same sex relations
Oh this is in the states im referring to, I assumed they would be similar.
It’s kind of funny actually one of the other questions is about if you lived or traveled to the UK, Gibraltar, or the falklands within a certain time as well. I figured it had something to do with the mad cow thing but you’re prob right
>No one wore plate armor in the 13th century
Was about to post this. He'd be wearing leather or studded armor. Actually, what he's wearing in the film is pretty appropriate armor wise(though a bit undersuited, probably for aesthetics). The main thing out of place is his regular clothing which is definitely worn in some weird style they didn't actually use in the time period.
People give Braveheart way too much shit for its historical inaccuracy. Most "based on a true story" films aren't even half as historically accurate anyways. It's a messy film but it was extremely unique at the time and had was an excellent hero epic with a faux-Scottish flair. People caught up in nitpicking its historical accuracy were forcing the film to adhere to a standard it never intended to.
Chainmail was obviously ubiquitous and probably the most common armor under everything, but availability mattered. The scottish armies of that period did indeed wear leather armor, either studded with metal plates, with chainmail, etc
Studded armor was always a thing. It's cheaper to make a suit of armor with strategically placed harder armor and metals than it is to make a full suit.
>He'd be wearing leather or studded armor.
Dumb d&disms, all depictions of him not inspired by braveheart show him in the standard mail and surcoat of the time. The dress and armour depicted in a film is a mix of the highlights of Scottish history from around 700-1700ad, barely any of it makes sense for the time period.
He'd be wearing mail and gambeson you daft bastard, not some leather from Spirit Halloween
I don't know what to tell you guys. Leather armor was a thing. Studded armor was a thing. Metal plates and chainmail to absorb the shock of blows, Leather armor and padding to protect against impacts.
This film is based on actual history. The english were so buttblasted by Mel, that the propaganda machine started working overtime trying to revise history.
I think if you got mad at Braveheart at its release, you're a huge homosexual. It's just a silly epic hero movie. At the time, muslims and blacks played bad guys all the time and they weren't crying about it much at the time either. I get it more nowadays since white people in general are now the go to bad guy since "they can take it", and I know the English are historically misrepresented in the film to be mustache twirling despots, but people shouldn't lump the film in with modern anti-white films like OP appears to be doing.
Edward actually did try to annex Scotland immediately after his friend the Scottish king died.
The Scottish lords didn't even suspect it because they asked him to choose the king.
And yes his excuse for annexing Scotland was since over one century before him a Scottish king submitted to an English king.
Do people take their own side? Normally yes. Also Scotland was never "oppressed", it was an integral part of the united kingdom and probably contributed a disproportionate amount to it considering its much smaller population than England.
I don't know mate, I think attempting to annex a foreign country through backstabbing politics and then invading by force for the sole purpose of subjugating that territory under your own rule when that doesn't work would be oppression-adjacent.
>backwater poverty shithole
This kind of thought is the reason why the Anglosphere is facing hard times.
Not every nation needs to be an industrial superpower based on vicious consumerism and depression. If it's so good for them, then they should shut the frick up and live their lives. But no, their messiah complex was so strong that every nation needs to be like them but never greater than them, and just like the Romans, they are now overruled by immigrants who have an unracional hatred for them.
you're thinking in terms of modern nation states. It was simply a war between feudal lords - not like the result made any difference to Scottish peasants
Feelsgoodman
Reminds me of that map showing how the UK would help other European countries in the event of invasion but none would help the UK
We don't give a frick we are just built different (protags)
it's not one-sided between England & Scotland, there has always been give and take.
The Scottish also made up a huge chunk of the army during the height of the British Empire so I don't really much mind to them playing the victim.
>We want to leave our union with england to become a third world country and beg the EU to take us in and import more third world savages but brown.
Glaswegians are a cancer and im glad the rest of Scotland had some good sense
As an Amerimutt who visited Glasgow recently, I think it may have been one of the few non-American cities I've seen to actually outdo ours in sheer lack of aesthetics
Bong cities had aesthetics prior to the 60s. Then some twats decided concrete was the way to go. Then some twats in the 2000s decided glass was the way to go.
I am genuinely curious as to what led you believing that I am brown.

I don't hate myself and I don't revolve my personality and my identity around either my race. I should love myself a bit more maybe and I wish I was browner.
Imagine been seen as the most 'reasonable and competent' head of state in the UK by the left, with your own little fan boys and girls defending everything you do.
Then having to resign and ruin your own and parties reputation overnight because you and the other heads of the party stole funds and bought a campervan
it's hilarious to me that of all the things a corrupt politician could spend stolen money on is a fricking motorhome >mwhahaha I can't wait to go camping in luxury!
I think the left is moronic, but all I'm seeing here is corrupt Scottish politicians getting arrested by Scottish policemen who swore an oath to the Scottish people
Vs.
Corrupt English politicians who get away Scot-free (heh), untouched by the police who sworn an oath not to the English people but to the King.
This.
Unreal to me that this campervan non-story is somehow a much bigger deal than this:

Yes his beginning as a soldier was in the movie where he kills an English knight trying to steal fish but stole his armour.

Beautiful shot.

that's probably because the NHS gave a bunch of people aids after dishing out contaminated blood and they got sued

Fake fantasy dnd shit, studded armor isn’t a thing and leather armor was very rare

what the frick is wrong with people who vandalize statues? like, what sort of mental illness do they have?
The statue was ugly as frick to be fair.
It's funny

leftism
The movie was objectively good regardless of historical accuracy

Do the English really believe they were somehow good guys here for invading a neighbour not just once but twice (and failing both times lol)?

The Scottish lords didn't even suspect it because they asked him to choose the king.
And yes his excuse for annexing Scotland was since over one century before him a Scottish king submitted to an English king.
Edward had no role in Scotland until 1290. The lords did suspect Edward was planning on subjugating which is what led to the alliance with France.
Yea, the gaylords

Thought you c**ts were still larping as anglo saxons? You bored of that now?
And now England has no empire and is just an offshore banking state

>Empire
It was a Scottish and English empire (thus british) through and through, my historically illiterate mutt friend.
Do people take their own side? Normally yes. Also Scotland was never "oppressed", it was an integral part of the united kingdom and probably contributed a disproportionate amount to it considering its much smaller population than England.

Yeah Scotland would be way better of today if it was a backwater poverty shithole. Being a core part of the greatest empire in history is overrated.
The union would be literal centuries after that event though.

Explain the justification for England invading Scotland twice.
Explain the justification for Scotland raiding and invading over the borders multiple times.
It's just a wee bit of patter.

It's a more efficient use of the space inside the roll, mate.
just slice the sausage down the middle if it's going on a sandwich
