Haven't ever been able to find any info on him.
There are a lot of different places where you can listen to the Braveheart theme. You can listen via itunes or perhaps youtube with your home computer or mobile device if you would like. Another option is to conduct a simple web search that will lead you to a link where you will be able to listen to this piece.
A literal translation of the words brave heart would be calon ddewr - but it is not usual to translate the names of characters, particularly not those made up by film makers!
Brave Heart is from one of my favorite movies and it was released in 1995. Mel Gibson Directed this movie and did the lead role as well.
Mel Gibson portrayed the Scottish hero William Wallace.
There was no Battle of Stirling, it was the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
There is no evidence that Wallace ever met Robert the Bruce or the French Princess.
Braveheart (1995) cost an estimated $53 million to make.
The running time for the perfomance of war horse is 2 hours and 40 minutes, including the interval.
William Wallace (AKA "braveheart") was captured by the English king, known as Edward the Long Shanks , tortured and eventually beheaded. I don't know if this next part is true but i have heard that his body was torn to peices his arms and legs sent to the 4 corners of England and his head set on London bridge as a warning to other "traitors". Though he did not live to see it Scotland did win its freedom...for a while at least.
Yes and no. The majority of the evens of the movie did happen, and there was a William Wallace. However the ways in which many of the events were depicted are not historically accurate. For example the first real battle on that open field. Did not actually take place on a field. It occurred on a small bridge in the nearby town for which the battle is named.
The freedom quote by Mel Gibson's character in Braveheart is: "As William Wallace said, Tell our enemies, that they may take our lives but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!".
Eric Rigler is a very well known piper and typically plays the Uillean and Great Highland Band bagpipes. The Braveheart is most definitely (a majority) of the Great Highland Band bagpipes. The Uillean pipes are much more mellow- they are the type of pipes heard in parts of Lord of the Dance and in the White Stripes rock song "St. Andrew". They are not played upright and it uses bellow straps rather than a blowstick.
