I thought the movie "Braveheart" was one of the best I have seen. It was
interesting from the very beginning to the very end. Until I saw that
movie I had never heard of William Wallace or Edward Longshanks. I have
always loved history but I can't remember studying either of them.
Because of that movie I read up on both them and the history of Scotland
during that time period. So I feel the movie had a impact on me. I never
believe everything in a movie. Even movies based on someone's life story
has some fiction to spice it up abit for the its audience.

I do agree though with Leo .Because of that movie I still think of
Edward Longshanks as bastard and Robert the Bruce as a weakling.
