Pile of manure

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2005)

This has just been named the most undeserving Oscar winner and I agree wholeheartedly. I have always wondered how on earth this English bashing drivel by an Aussie director who is one of life's true bigots beat the magnificent Apollo 13. It is no closer to true historical fact then Monty Python and the Holy Grail, unfortunately the former isn't half as entertaining as the latter,,still I did find Wallace's death scene as funny as anything Python produced. I guess that the Yanks still haven't forgiven the English for the War of Independence and tend to praise all Gibson's Limey bashing tirades masquerading as "history"(The Patriot is another example) By the way, I'm welsh and have no love for the English either, but, I like my history in movies to be at least a little bit near the reality. How the heck did this garbage get into the top 250 movies of all time?
