Teh events portrayed in Braveheart are believed to have happened by historians but as per usual buy hollywood, a bit of artistic license has been added.
Why does this allways happen with hollywood or Mel Bloody Gibson. Between the two they are attempting to re write world history. And in particuller bad mouth or disregard .
In the recent past we have had;
Brave Heart=English are raping and child killing monsters.
The patriot =English are raping and child killing monsters.
(hmmm see a patten here)
U571 = the yanks perform the capture of the enigma machine when in fact it was the brits that captured the first m/c and when the yanks did finally get their mitts on them germany where virtually giving them away as they were in retreat.
Pearl Harbour= Did they forget that the british warned of the attack using radar . But the yanks ignored this saying that radar didn't work and the huge blip on the screen was a glitch.
And now we have to look forward to a Nam film starring Mr Gibson. Is this the one where the yanks Kick the veit con's arse and liberate the entir country?????
The way we are going by the end of 21st century the yanks would have been involved in every great moment in mans history, and the worst part of it is that as many people no longer read books but watch films instead. The beleive that 'based on real events' means that this is what actually happened.
Does hollywood try to rewrite history in the favour of the yanks because they have no actual momentous history of thier own?
After all where is the film about the colonists wiping the native americans of the face of the states and the atrocheties(nice spelling huh?) that happened then?
