Seriously, Bro, your country is restless, it can flare up at any moment. Ireland is restless too. It's like a sleeping volcano, sooner or later it will come out. Because you have a split in society... You say that it is a single bud, but I heard the Scots, for whom Wallace is a hero... You have a split in society too.

Aye good film not very historically accurate like the battle of Stirling bridge had no bridge also the date at the start was wrong and some other stuff but it's still good messed up ending but that's about right they still can't decide where Wallace was from as there's two good contenders that claim him as there own aye here has problems too same as everywhere bud no where is perfect

It was mostly a joke, I'm not calling you to revolution))
Yes, I know that Hollywood has very little in common with reality. But the film is really good, I didn't expect Gibson to be a director.

If you'll allow me, I'll give you a little training in historiography.
I'll show you how I work with historical materials to understand what really happened.
Here I'm going to give you some facts. We won't go far and deep, we'll keep it simple. English wikipedia (this is not propaganda)))
Look through it all and draw your own conclusions.

I could go on and on, but this is already deep antiquity. There were Byzantines and Romans there too. You've probably heard of the ancient Greek legend of Jason, the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece. That was several thousand years ago. Jasson docked on the coast of Crimea back then, and that's where he found the Golden Fleece. Then there was formed a Greek colony and the City of Chersonesos (not to be confused with Kherson), Chersonesos was located where Sevostopol is now.
Crimea has a very ancient... very ancient history, for these thousands of years there were many, very... and the Mongol-Tatars were there. and the Ottoman Empire, and Byzantium and Ancient Rome. In the end, Russia, not at the first attempt, still won Crimea for itself. Although, as we know, the Turks with the help of the British and French tried to take back the Crimea, but they failed, although Russia was defeated in that war, the Crimea remained for her. For this Crimea Russia spilled a lot of blood for several centuries to conquer Crimea.
And finally, the climax.

If you read everything carefully, what is the very first thought that comes to your mind? Be honest, please.
I can tell you my opinion: the assholes were given a Ferrari, and they drove it across a plowed field... in the end, they will never see the Ferrari or the harvest again.
In '14 I was very much worried, I even cried that I would never see my Crimea again... warm tender sea... childhood memories... it's all very sad, Bro! Very sad!!!
As for folk heroes like Wallace, the images of them have been very much romanticized over the years, turned these heroes into saints. I see a Scottish feudal lord there who was turned into a vassal by the English, he didn't go along with it and started fighting for...no not “Freedom”...no, he was fighting for his property and his land. His troops were the ones who worked his land for a penny-- they were the ones who fought the war for the most part, not him. He wasn't white and fluffy, he was just like everybody else. Violent, aggressive and savage. Our historiography is full of such “holy” characters. You read carefully their biography... and the hair moves... on your back.)))))))
People tend to romanticize everything - it's a fact.))
Also, people can't live without wars, because they will die out. War is the engine of progress, and also restrains overpopulation of the earth, as well as natural disasters and all kinds of catastrophes. If it were not for all these, the earth would have been overpopulated long ago.
