Should never have won any kind of award

Rating: 1/10 (30 April 2013)

I am going to start off by saying that I am Scottish and have lived here my whole life which should make you realise that this film does not appeal to everyone in Scotland and I am probably more offended by it than some of the English people (who were admittedly shown badly) who have been complaining about it.
This film is probably the most historically inaccurate film i have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. The simple fact that the main character was played by an American actor was the first thing that really got on my nerves. But even if you were to ignore that the sheer number of Irish actors who were supposedly putting on "Scottish" accents just added to the insult. The problem with this is that it is so blatantly pandering to the American audience that it ruins the film for any Scottish person who managed to avoid being caught up in the awful attempt at inspiring some level of patriotism in Scotland. Also looking at the "most helpful reviews" I found it laughable that the main people hailing it as "educational" were in every single case American and will have absolutely no insight into this whatsoever.
The incredible level of narcissism which shows through almost every aspect of the film from him playing the main role to him twisting events so that the only two female characters end up having sex with him despite the fact that one of them was actually a child at the time that this took place.
The thing that i find quite uncomfortable with this film is that Gibson tries to hand off his own homophobia to portray the Longshanks' son as a negative character simply because he is gay despite the fact that it was most likely not even true and that any reasonable person would be perfectly fine with this.
One final point is that the name "Braveheart" which is supposedly given to Wallace was actually a name for Robert the Bruce which perfectly illustrates the inaccuracy of this film despite it claiming to be factual.
P.S sorry if this turned into an angry, incoherent rant but this film is truly an infuriating piece of filmmaking
