historical truth?

Rating: 8/10 (15 March 1999)

This film contains high level of acting performance, the battles are extremely vivid, the story well related. One can entertain and learn on the story of Scotland but also courage, the mankind nature. Mel Gibson is stunning, and his wife "Norem" is beautiful. My only question regarding this film would be : how historically accurate is this film? Is the personal history of William Wallace shown in the film faithful to the actual truth?
