Incredible movie, what's this about english pride?

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2002)

Braveheart is an excellent movie, perhaps the best historical epic ever made.
As to Gunther Gimp's (or whatever your name was) comments about the scottish attacking first and the english defending their 'homeland'. I suggest you read up on history, the english in the 1100s were nothing more than an occupying force. The islands of Great Britain and Ireland were historically the homeland of the two celtic nations, the Britons and the Irish. The english came out of the invading Normans and the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. What you are saying equals to a North American claiming that 'the injuns attacked us first'. If you can find cause for pride in your people's bloody history (starving 2 million Irish, conquering Wales, repeated attacks against the Scots, the extinction of Cornish and Manx, still occupying Northern Ireland, fighting against the American colonies, India, etc etc.), then there is something seriously wrong with you. If you want pride, turn to your cultural accomplishments, not to the bloody history of your country's wars.
