Brilliant film but please do not take as historical fact

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2012)

This is a truly fantastic film. It has amazing battle scenes, skilled actors and a well-written script.
However, it should be remembered that although based on true events in history, this is a piece of fiction. Certain characters could never have actually met each other in real life, Wallace was not a commoner but in fact a member (although only minor) of the nobility and so owned his own land, roles have been changed and artistic license employed. This does not detract from the merits of the film, but it should be recognised for what it is - a fantastic piece of fiction. If anything, one would hope that this film inspires people to find out more about Wallace, a truly remarkable figure in Scottish history.
If it is possible that you have not seen this film, you really must watch it or you will be missing out.
