Braveheart

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.

Yes, he did. In fact, he not only directed this movie from 1995: he also starred in it. Gibson had great success with Braveheart: it was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and it won five. Among the awards Braveheart received was one that undoubtedly made Gibson happy: Best Director.

Conducted by James Horner, the soundtrack to Braveheart was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra - it was 77 minutes long, and has been the basis of French and international versions of the same soundtrack. Overall, the soundtrack was deemed a success.

The movie Brave made over $550 million at the box office ($554,606,532)

The movie braveheart is about the revolt of the Scottish people to push the English out of their country so that they could be free again. More specifically it is about the man who chose to lead this revolt after his wifes throat was slit by English soldiers.

The movie took liberties with history but most films do; but here are some areas where Hollywood and history diverged. First. and possibly least important, Sir William Wallace was never called "Braveheart" and while Wallace did kill an Englishman it was not for the rape and murder of his wife but for an unspecified insult. Of course, the Mel Gibson version makes for better drama. Next in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Gibson left out the bridge -- he explained that it made for better cinematography to leave out the bridge (and the film might have gone over budget for the construction costs of a bridge) so Gibson had them fight it out in an open field. Next, Scots warriors of Sir William's time did NOT wear war paint into battle (they did that during Roman times). And finally, Robert the Bruce, who led the victorious war of Scottish independence, was not quite the conniving cad depicted in "Braveheart." Like Wallace, Bruce (an ancestor of mine) is a national hero of Scotland. Whatever the film's historic flaws, however, it contributed to a rebirth of Scottish nationalism among native Scots and their kin overseas.

It was mel Gibson who directed this movie and did the lead role as well, Mel Gibson as William Wallace after his wife is killed by the English.. He starts an uprising demanding justice that leads to a war for independence.

The term 'Braveheart' actually refers to King Robert the Bruce of Scotland who requested that upon his death his heart be removed and buried in the Holy Land of course Hollywood got it wrong as usual they attributed the term to Sir William Wallace instead!

Uilliam Uallas (in old Gaelic), or William Wallace (in English)

Comment on above: Do we know to what extent William Wallace, a lowland knight, spoke or would have been addressed in Gaelic? I know that the Wikipedia entry includes it but was his name ever recorded in that form?

Given that in the late C13 Gaelic was still, except to a tiny minority, a non-literate language, is not rendering William Wallace as Uilliam Uallas is a fairly redundant transliteration of an Anglo Norman name which would have been more or less the same in the mouth of a Scots speaker or a Gael?

Partly in Scotland but most of the battle scenes were filmed in Ireland using the Irish Army Reserve as extras.

The main characters name is William Wallace.
