Should Hollywood rewrite history ?

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2003)

This film won the Best Picture award in 1995. William Wallace is deeply in love with his childhood sweetheart who is then	slain by the English. Wallace vows vengeance and we're treated to a number of battles before he is eventually betrayed. This is a very	Hollywood version of the history - Some things are ignored, some things are changed and some things are just made up. Examples of this are the omission of the fact that Wallace fought for Edward, the change to the Battle of Stirling and William's input into the monarchy.
