fighting for truth, justice and freedom

We could not live in Scotland without watching the movie Braveheart. We watched it last night at our apartment.

Now I can understand the slight ill feeling between the Scots and the English that can still exist today. I realise that it is a movie and that the movie had an agenda (to entertain people, drama, romance and all that jazz) rather than it being a real-life documentary. It would be blind to think that it is historically accurate in every way but it is a truly amazing movie.

It would have been a really difficult project to make, with such amazing scenes in the movie, so graphic. So all credit to that Mel Gibson fulla. On our trip to the Highlands we went to the place where one of the battles took place (and also filmed in Braveheart). Would make a Scotsman feel very patriotic standing in that spot, I’m sure.

If you haven’t seen the movie, here is one of the most poignant messages of the movie where William Wallace makes a famous speech which makes us all feel that truth, justice and freedom are worth fighting and dying for.
