THE ACE: IS A SKILLED WARRR, A GREAT STRATEGIST, AN OMNIGLOT, AND A CHARISMATIC LEAR. ADAPTATNAL NICE GUY: THE REAL WILLIAM WALLACE WAS A B OF A DRILL SERGEANT NASTY, BUT THE FILM, WALLACE IS PICTED AS SOMEWHAT LAIDBACK AS A LEAR WH A SUAL ATMOSPHERE AMONG HIS ARY ENMPMENT. FURTHERMORE, AFTER STIRLG, THE REAL-LIFE WALLACE FLAYED THE ENGLISH MANR'S RPSE AND MA A BALDRICK OUT OF HIS SK (THOUGH WAS RETALIATN FOR HIS FLAYG OF STSMEN). OUTSI OF A PATN, THIS IS NEVER SHOWN, NOR MENTNED. FALLY, THE REAL WALLACE EMPLOYED A RAPE, PILLAGE, AND BURN-STYLE MPAIGN AGAST THE ENGLISH, WHICH IS NOT SHOWN THE FILM, BUT IS THREATENED (AND MAY HAVE OCCURRED OFF-SCREEN WH THE SACKG OF YORK). NEVERTHELS, WALLACE IS STILL PORTRAYED AS VLENT AND MERCILS TO HIS ENEMI. AN ARM AND A LEG: HIS LIMBS ARE SENT TO THE FOUR RNERS OF BRA AS A WARNG.

BARBARIAN LONGHAIR: JT CHECK OUT THE IMAGE. BATTLE CRY: YELLS “ALBA GU BRàTH!”NOTE WHICH IS STTISH GAELIC FOR "STLAND FOREVER," AND IS A MON PATRTIC SLOGAN. BEFORE THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. BFS: HE WIELDS A CLAYMORE BATTLE. BYRONIC HERO: DOWNPLAYED. WHILE HE IS A GOOD-NATURED PERSON WHO IS ONLY FIGHTG AGAST THOSE WHO WISH TO DO HIS PEOPLE HARM, HE DO MONSTRATE A DISTURBG PACY FOR VLENCE. HE ADMS THAT HE IS A SAVAGE. CALL TO AGRICULTURE: AFTER RETURNG HOME OM THE CSAS, HE TRI TO SETTLE DOWN AS A SIMPLE FARMER AND HOP TO AVOID NFLICT. THIS DON’T LAST LONG. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SEEMS TO HAVE ALSO BEEN BED WH ANDREW MORAY, ANOTHER EARLY LEAR DURG THE WARS OF INPENNCE WHO STARTED HIS OWN SEPARATE UPRISG THE HIGHLANDS, BEFORE FIGHTG WH WALLACE AT THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. HE IS NEVER SHOWN OR MENTNED THE FILM, AND WALLACE SEEMS TO BE LEADG THE ONLY REVOLT STLAND WH HIGHLANRS AND LOWLANRS ALIKE. CEL AND UNUAL DEATH: IS EXECUTED BY BEG HANGED, DRAWN, AND QUARTERED. CSADG WIDOWER: MURRON’S ATH IS WHAT KICKS OFF HIS REBELLN. DARK AND TROUBLED PAST: HIS FATHER AND BROTHER WERE BOTH KILLED BATTLE WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. DEATH GLARE: GIV A VERY CHILLG ONE TO MORNAY BEFORE HE MURRS HIM. DEPATN PRENTATN: HIS HEAD IS DISPLAYED ON LONDON BRIDGE AS A WARNG. DEFIANT TO THE END: HE REF TO BEG FOR MERCY EVEN AS HE IS BEG EVISCERATED, AND STEAD SHOUTS OUT “FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM.” ESPE ARTIST: ESP A GARRISON OF SOLDIERS AT LANARK AFTER ASSLTG THEIR MEN, AND ALSO P MORNAY’S GUARDS AFTER MURRG HIM. EXPERIENCED PROTAGONIST: HE BEME A HIGHLY SKILLED WARRR BETWEEN THE PROLOGUE AND HIS RETURN TO STLAND NOT LONG AFTER. FOLK HERO: IS SHOWN TO HAVE BEE ONE STLAND NEAR THE END OF HIS REER, WH A MONTAGE OF MEN TELLG VAR STORI AND LEGENDS OF HIS EXPLOS. FOREGONE CONCLN: DPE THE FILM’S ACCURACI, DO FOLLOW THROUGH PORTRAYG WALLACE FAILG TO OVERTHROW LONGSHANKS OR ENGLISH LE HIMSELF AND HIS EXECUTN AT THEIR HANDS. GENI BISER: IS A BATN OF BARBARIAN HERO AND CULTURED BADASS. GO OUT WH A SE: UPON HIS ATH, HE HAS A VISN OF MURRON, PROMPTG A PEACEFUL SE. HEARTBROKEN BADASS: WALLACE NTU TO DREAM OF MURRON DURG THE WAR, AND LATE THE FILM, LONG AFTER HER EXECUTN, HAMISH IMPLI TO WALLACE THAT HE IS STILL FIGHTG BEE OF HER ATH. THE HERO DI: IS EXECUTED BY LONGSHANKS AT THE END OF THE FILM. HEROIC BSOD: AFTER HE DISVERS ROBERT'S BETRAYAL, HE N DO NOTHG BUT LIE DOWN SPAIR. HISTORIL HERO UPGRA: WHILE UNDOUBTEDLY FAMO AND A HERO STLAND, WALLACE IS PORTRAYED AS MORE FLUENTIAL THE FIRST WAR OF STTISH INPENNCE THAN HE REALLY WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. THE REBELLN DIDN’T START WH HIM AT LANARK BUT STEAD HAD ALREADY BEGUN A YEAR EARLIER WH THEN-KG JOHN BALLL (THOUGH WAS BRIEFLY PUT DOWN). ROBERT THE BCE PLAYS A SENDARY ROLE TO WALLACE, SPE BEG MORE STMENTAL TO THE REBELLN AND HAVG LED A MORE SUCCSFUL MPAIGN (NOT TO MENTN BEG KG OF STLAND). HE ALSO LOOKS UP TO HIM AS A MENTOR OF SORTS, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO RERD THAT THE TWO EVEN MET. ANDREW MORAY IS ALSO PLETELY ADAPTED OUT, SPE HAVG ALSO STARTED HIS OWN UPRISG THE HIGHLANDS AND SHARG MAND WH WALLACE AT THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. WALLACE WAS AN IMPORTANT FIGURE THE WAR, BUT NOT TO THE GREE THE FILM PATS HIM AS. THE MOVIE ALSO DOWNPLAYS HIS BTALY PARED TO THE REAL WILLIAM WALLACE. AFTER THE BATTLE OF STIRLG BRIDGE, THE REAL WALLACE HAD AN ENGLISH MANR NAMED HUGH CRSGHAM FLAYED TO MAKE A BALDRICK FOR HIS SWORD, THOUGH THIS WAS ADMTEDLY PARTLY MOTIVATED BY HOW CRSGHAM HAD FLAYED STTISH PRISONERS OF WAR. WALLACE'S RAIDS TO ENGLAND WERE ALSO SIGNIFINTLY MORE SAVAGE AND DISCRIMATE THAN THE MOVIE, WH MANY CIVILIANS BEG KILLED THEM. I DIE FREE: HIS EEDOM QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS THIS. INNOCENCE LOST: WNS THE BODI OF SEVERAL HANGED MEN AS A BOY, CLUDG THAT OF ANOTHER CHILD. SOON AFTER, HIS FATHER AND BROTHER ARE BOTH KILLED BATTLE. I SURRENR, SUCKERS: APPEARS TO BE TURNG HIMSELF TO THE MAGISTRATE, BUT THEN SUDNLY ATTACKS HIS MEN. NOBLE SAVAGE: A MONER OM STLAND WHO FIGHTS FOR HIS HOMELAND AGAST THE KG OF ENGLAND. OFF WH HIS HEAD!: KILLS CHELTHAM THIS WAY. HE IS THEN EXECUTED BY BEHEADG. OMNIGLOT: HE SPEAKS ENGLISH (STS), STTISH GAELIC, LAT, AND FRENCH. POSTHUMO NARRATN: AT THE VERY END OF THE FILM, WALLACE IS HEARD SCRIBG HOW THE STS FOUGHT LIKE WARRR POETS AT BANNOCKBURN, AND WON THEIR EEDOM. "THE REASON YOU SUCK" SPEECH: GIV ONE TO A ROOMFUL OF STTISH NOBL WHO NTUE SQUABBLG SPE THEIR VICTORY AT STIRLG. RELUCTANT WARRR: EARLY ON, HE HOPED TO AVOID WAR AND LIVE AS A SIMPLE FARMER, BUT CIRCUMSTANC CHANGED THIS. NEAR THE END OF THE FILM, HE ADMS THAT HE JT WANTS TO HAVE A HOME AND CHILDREN AND TO LIVE PEACE, AND THE ONLY REASON WHY HE NTU TO FIGHT IS TO GA EEDOM FOR HIS PEOPLE. ROARG RAMPAGE OF REVENGE: HIS ACTNS AT LANARK ARE THIS. ROG SPEECH: GIV A VERY INIC DARE TO BE BADASS SPEECH BEFORE THE BATTLE OF STIRLG TO NVCE HIS RETREATG ARMY TO FIGHT THE ENGLISH. IT WORKS. SCREW THE MONEY, I HAVE RUL!: REF LONGSHANKS' BRIBE. SHROUD MYTH: IT'S APPARENTLY BELIEVED AMONG THE STTISH THAT HE IS A SEVEN-FOOT ONE-MAN ARMY PABLE OF NSUMG THE ENGLISH WH FIREBALLS OM HIS EY, AND BOLTS OF LIGHTNG OM HIS ARSE. SOPHISTITED AS HELL: OWG TO A BATN OF HIS DOWN-TO-EARTH PERSONALY AND HIS TN. SWORD PLANT: HE PS OFF HIS TRIUMPHANT CHEERG AFTER THE BATTLE OF STIRLG WH THIS. THE STRATEGIST: HOW HE BEATS THE ENGLISH AT STIRLG SPE FEWER NUMBERS. TOGETHER DEATH: HAS A VISN OF MURRON JT BEFORE GETTG BEHEAD. THROWG YOUR SWORD ALWAYS WORKS: HE TAK OUT A SOLDIER AT LANARK WH THIS METHOD. TRANQUIL FURY: STOILLY SLS THE SHERIFF’S THROAT. HE IS ALSO EXPRSNLS WHEN HE V MORAY’S FACE . UNSTOPPABLE RAGE: AFTER MURRON IS EXECUTED, HE SWIFTLY CUTS THROUGH THE ENGLISH GARRISON AT LANARK. LATER, AFTER BEG BETRAYED BY TWO NOBL AT FALKIRK, HE QUICKLY AND BTALLY EXECUT THEM. VICTOR ROAR: AFTER WALLACE AND THE STS FEAT THE ENGLISH AT THE BATTLE OF STIRLG (TECHNILLY THE BATTLE OF STIRLG BRIDGE), A BLOODIED WALLACE RAIS HIS BLA HIGH ABOVE HIM AND LETS OUT A BRIEF, YET FIANT ROAR THAT HIS MEN EAGERLY JO WH UNISON. VRLIC BT BUDS: HIS BT IEND IS HAMISH, WHO HE CKS ON THREE SEPARATE OCSNS (THOUGH, ONLY THE LAST ONE WAS DONE OUT OF ANGER), WHILE WALLACE KNOCKS HIM DOWN WH A STONE THROW TO THE HEAD.     ROBERT THE BCE ROBERT THE BCE"YOU BLED WH WALLACE!

HISTORIL VILLA UPGRA: PLAYED WH: WHILE A VERY NTROVERSIAL KG, MANY OF HIS NEFAR ACTNS THE FILM ARE EHER EXAGGERATED OR ENTIRELY FICTNAL. HE NEVER MANDATED PRIMAE NOCTIS, FOR ONE, NEVER MURRED HIS SON’S LOVER, WOULD LIKELY HAVE NEVER KILLED HIS OWN TROOPS FOR VICTORY, AND NEVER MURRED HIS OWN SUBJECTS. HIS SFFG AT CHARY IS ALSO UNLIKELY, SCE HE WAS VERY GENERO REAL LIFE, THOUGH THIS WAS MANDATED BY THE CHURCH. HE WAS ALSO A LOVG HBAND AND FAY MAN, SPE HIS ATTU TOWARDS WOMEN AND HIS TREATMENT OF HIS SON THE MOVIE. HISTORIL VILLA DOWNGRA: THE FILM ALSO MANAG TO DOWNPLAY OR IGNORE ALL THE OTHER ACTS EDWARD HAS DONE SUCH AS VADG WAL BEE THE LEAR OF WAL SID WH THE BARONS AND MURRG AND IMPRISONG HIM AND HIS FAY, AND HOW HE WAS AN ACTIVE ANTI-SEME TO BOOT, MAKG AN EDICT EXPELLG JEWS ENGLAND. INCURABLE COUGH OF DEATH: HE SUFFERS OM THIS, AND EVENTUALLY DI. JERKASS HAS A POT: HIS MURRG PHILLIP PERSONALLY MAK SENSE OM THE POT OF VIEW THAT HE IS A POTENTIAL LIABILY. AT THE VERY LEAST HE'S CLEARLY NEVER FOUGHT A BATTLE HIS ENTIRE LIFE AND ISN'T QUALIFIED TO BE ADVISG A PRCE OR A KG ON MATTERS OF STATE, SO THE DANGER OF HIM BEG THE POWER BEHD THE PRCE'S FUTURE THRONE HAS TO BE AVERTED.

MURRS HIS SON’S GAY LOVER (OSTENSIBLY FOR GIVG UNSOLICED ADVICE, WHICH ISN’T ANY BETTER THAN HOMOPHOBIA), THEN LERALLY KICKS HIS SON FOR RETALIATG. LACK OF EMPATHY: THIS SHOWS WHEN HE SUDNLY KILLS HIS SON’S LOVER RIGHT ONT OF HIM AND THEN PROCEEDS TO BEAT HIM (GRANTED, SELF-FENSE), BEFORE STG DOWN TO PLOT WHILE HIS SON LI CRYG ON THE FLOOR. LARGE AND CHARGE: BOTH MCGOOHAN AND THE REAL LONGSHANKS WERE 6’2. LIGHT IS NOT GOOD: HE HAS SNOW-WHE HAIR AND IS REGULARLY ADORNED SRLET-GOLD ROB. MISOGYNY: IMPLIED BY HIS ATTU TOWARDS ISABELLA AND HIS RESTATEMENT OF PRIMA NOCTA. HOWEVER, PRAGMATIC VILLAY FORC HIM TO AVOID ACTG ON THIS WH ISABELLA. OBLIVLY EVIL: LONGSHANKS IS THAT TYPE OF CHARACTER WHO ONLY THKS HE IS DOG GOOD, BUT HE REALLY ISN'T. OH, CRAP!: WHEN ISABELLA TELLS HIM THE TTH OF HER PREGNANCY, HIS EY GO WI AND HE BREATH HEAVILY. IT’S ALL HE N DO SCE HIS DISEASE HAS RENRED HIM MUTE AND UNABLE TO MOVE. PRAGMATIC VILLAY: DPE HAVG SENT FOR HIS SON, HE ALLOWS ISABELLA TO ATTEND HIS URT SCE APPEARS THAT PRCE EDWARD HAS NO TERT LEARNG HOW TO LE, MEANG SHE WOULD HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO HIS STEAD. HE ALSO FEATS WALLACE ON THE BATTLEFIELD BY SIMPLY BUYG OFF THE RIGHT STTISH NOBL. SENDS ISABELLA TO TREAT WH WALLACE NOT BEE SHE'S NECSARILY DISPOSABLE, BUT BEE SHE'S BASILLY THE SAFT OPTN HE N THK OF: "WHO N I SEND? NOT I, FOR IF I WERE TO FALL UNR THE SWORD OF THAT MURRER MIGHT BE MY HEAD A BASKET. AND NOT MY... GENTLE SON, FOR THE BARE SIGHT OF HIM WOULD ONLY ENURAGE AN ENEMY TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE UNTRY." PRE-MORTEM ONE-LER: “THEN TELL ME… WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU OFFER ON THE PRENT SUATN?” *HE THEN PROCEEDS TO THROW PHILLIP OUT OF THE WDOW.* ROYALS WHO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHG: HE MAY BE A BASTARD, BUT HE DID LEAD THE ENGLISH TO VICTORY AT FALKIRK (EVEN IF WAS AT THE SIL).

FURTHERMORE, HE SERV AS A NTRAST TO BOTH WALLACE AND, MORE IRONILLY, HIS OWN FATHER, WHERE HIS WEAKNS SERVE TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR OWN STRENGTHS AS THE PROTAGONIST AND ANTAGONIST.

Love letters and ntemporary acunts reveal some of the gay romanc that pdish historians would later fet, ignore, or actively nceal.

THE STTISH    OPEN/CLOSE ALL FOLRS       WILLIAM WALLACE WILLIAM WALLACE"ALBA GU BRàTH!""EVERY MAN DI; NO MAN EVER REALLY LIV." PORTRAYED BY: MEL GIBSONTHE FILM’S PROTAGONIST, WALLACE IS THE LEAR OF THE STTISH UPRISG AGAST THE ENGLISH. INIALLY RELUCTANT TO FIGHT, HE STARTS A REBELLN AT LANARK AFTER THE MURR OF HIS WIFE, WHICH SPREADS THROUGHOUT STLAND. HE WS A BATTLE AT STIRLG AND LATER SACKS YORK. HOWEVER, HE IS FEATED AT FALKIRK AND GO ON THE N FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS, BEFORE HE IS EVENTUALLY PTURED AND SENTENCED TO ATH AT THE END OF THE FILM, RENRG HIM A MARTYR. THE ACE: IS A SKILLED WARRR, A GREAT STRATEGIST, AN OMNIGLOT, AND A CHARISMATIC LEAR. ADAPTATNAL NICE GUY: THE REAL WILLIAM WALLACE WAS A B OF A DRILL SERGEANT NASTY, BUT THE FILM, WALLACE IS PICTED AS SOMEWHAT LAIDBACK AS A LEAR WH A SUAL ATMOSPHERE AMONG HIS ARY ENMPMENT. FURTHERMORE, AFTER STIRLG, THE REAL-LIFE WALLACE FLAYED THE ENGLISH MANR'S RPSE AND MA A BALDRICK OUT OF HIS SK (THOUGH WAS RETALIATN FOR HIS FLAYG OF STSMEN). OUTSI OF A PATN, THIS IS NEVER SHOWN, NOR MENTNED. FALLY, THE REAL WALLACE EMPLOYED A RAPE, PILLAGE, AND BURN-STYLE MPAIGN AGAST THE ENGLISH, WHICH IS NOT SHOWN THE FILM, BUT IS THREATENED (AND MAY HAVE OCCURRED OFF-SCREEN WH THE SACKG OF YORK). NEVERTHELS, WALLACE IS STILL PORTRAYED AS VLENT AND MERCILS TO HIS ENEMI. AN ARM AND A LEG: HIS LIMBS ARE SENT TO THE FOUR RNERS OF BRA AS A WARNG. ASSKICKG LEADS TO LEARSHIP: IS MA THE LEAR OF THE STTISH REBELLN AFTER TAKG OUT THE ENGLISH GARRISON AT LANARK, AND IS THEN MA A GUARDIAN OF STLAND AFTER WNG AT STIRLG. BARBARIAN LONGHAIR: JT CHECK OUT THE IMAGE. BATTLE CRY: YELLS “ALBA GU BRàTH!”NOTE WHICH IS STTISH GAELIC FOR "STLAND FOREVER," AND IS A MON PATRTIC SLOGAN. BEFORE THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. BFS: HE WIELDS A CLAYMORE BATTLE. BYRONIC HERO: DOWNPLAYED. WHILE HE IS A GOOD-NATURED PERSON WHO IS ONLY FIGHTG AGAST THOSE WHO WISH TO DO HIS PEOPLE HARM, HE DO MONSTRATE A DISTURBG PACY FOR VLENCE. HE ADMS THAT HE IS A SAVAGE. CALL TO AGRICULTURE: AFTER RETURNG HOME OM THE CSAS, HE TRI TO SETTLE DOWN AS A SIMPLE FARMER AND HOP TO AVOID NFLICT. THIS DON’T LAST LONG. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SEEMS TO HAVE ALSO BEEN BED WH ANDREW MORAY, ANOTHER EARLY LEAR DURG THE WARS OF INPENNCE WHO STARTED HIS OWN SEPARATE UPRISG THE HIGHLANDS, BEFORE FIGHTG WH WALLACE AT THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. HE IS NEVER SHOWN OR MENTNED THE FILM, AND WALLACE SEEMS TO BE LEADG THE ONLY REVOLT STLAND WH HIGHLANRS AND LOWLANRS ALIKE. CEL AND UNUAL DEATH: IS EXECUTED BY BEG HANGED, DRAWN, AND QUARTERED. CSADG WIDOWER: MURRON’S ATH IS WHAT KICKS OFF HIS REBELLN. DARK AND TROUBLED PAST: HIS FATHER AND BROTHER WERE BOTH KILLED BATTLE WHEN HE WAS A CHILD. DEATH GLARE: GIV A VERY CHILLG ONE TO MORNAY BEFORE HE MURRS HIM. DEPATN PRENTATN: HIS HEAD IS DISPLAYED ON LONDON BRIDGE AS A WARNG. DEFIANT TO THE END: HE REF TO BEG FOR MERCY EVEN AS HE IS BEG EVISCERATED, AND STEAD SHOUTS OUT “FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOM.” ESPE ARTIST: ESP A GARRISON OF SOLDIERS AT LANARK AFTER ASSLTG THEIR MEN, AND ALSO P MORNAY’S GUARDS AFTER MURRG HIM. EXPERIENCED PROTAGONIST: HE BEME A HIGHLY SKILLED WARRR BETWEEN THE PROLOGUE AND HIS RETURN TO STLAND NOT LONG AFTER. FOLK HERO: IS SHOWN TO HAVE BEE ONE STLAND NEAR THE END OF HIS REER, WH A MONTAGE OF MEN TELLG VAR STORI AND LEGENDS OF HIS EXPLOS. FOREGONE CONCLN: DPE THE FILM’S ACCURACI, DO FOLLOW THROUGH PORTRAYG WALLACE FAILG TO OVERTHROW LONGSHANKS OR ENGLISH LE HIMSELF AND HIS EXECUTN AT THEIR HANDS. GENI BISER: IS A BATN OF BARBARIAN HERO AND CULTURED BADASS. GO OUT WH A SE: UPON HIS ATH, HE HAS A VISN OF MURRON, PROMPTG A PEACEFUL SE. HEARTBROKEN BADASS: WALLACE NTU TO DREAM OF MURRON DURG THE WAR, AND LATE THE FILM, LONG AFTER HER EXECUTN, HAMISH IMPLI TO WALLACE THAT HE IS STILL FIGHTG BEE OF HER ATH. THE HERO DI: IS EXECUTED BY LONGSHANKS AT THE END OF THE FILM. HEROIC BSOD: AFTER HE DISVERS ROBERT'S BETRAYAL, HE N DO NOTHG BUT LIE DOWN SPAIR. HISTORIL HERO UPGRA: WHILE UNDOUBTEDLY FAMO AND A HERO STLAND, WALLACE IS PORTRAYED AS MORE FLUENTIAL THE FIRST WAR OF STTISH INPENNCE THAN HE REALLY WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. THE REBELLN DIDN’T START WH HIM AT LANARK BUT STEAD HAD ALREADY BEGUN A YEAR EARLIER WH THEN-KG JOHN BALLL (THOUGH WAS BRIEFLY PUT DOWN). ROBERT THE BCE PLAYS A SENDARY ROLE TO WALLACE, SPE BEG MORE STMENTAL TO THE REBELLN AND HAVG LED A MORE SUCCSFUL MPAIGN (NOT TO MENTN BEG KG OF STLAND). HE ALSO LOOKS UP TO HIM AS A MENTOR OF SORTS, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO RERD THAT THE TWO EVEN MET. ANDREW MORAY IS ALSO PLETELY ADAPTED OUT, SPE HAVG ALSO STARTED HIS OWN UPRISG THE HIGHLANDS AND SHARG MAND WH WALLACE AT THE BATTLE OF STIRLG. WALLACE WAS AN IMPORTANT FIGURE THE WAR, BUT NOT TO THE GREE THE FILM PATS HIM AS. THE MOVIE ALSO DOWNPLAYS HIS BTALY PARED TO THE REAL WILLIAM WALLACE. AFTER THE BATTLE OF STIRLG BRIDGE, THE REAL WALLACE HAD AN ENGLISH MANR NAMED HUGH CRSGHAM FLAYED TO MAKE A BALDRICK FOR HIS SWORD, THOUGH THIS WAS ADMTEDLY PARTLY MOTIVATED BY HOW CRSGHAM HAD FLAYED STTISH PRISONERS OF WAR. WALLACE'S RAIDS TO ENGLAND WERE ALSO SIGNIFINTLY MORE SAVAGE AND DISCRIMATE THAN THE MOVIE, WH MANY CIVILIANS BEG KILLED THEM. I DIE FREE: HIS EEDOM QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS THIS. INNOCENCE LOST: WNS THE BODI OF SEVERAL HANGED MEN AS A BOY, CLUDG THAT OF ANOTHER CHILD. SOON AFTER, HIS FATHER AND BROTHER ARE BOTH KILLED BATTLE. I SURRENR, SUCKERS: APPEARS TO BE TURNG HIMSELF TO THE MAGISTRATE, BUT THEN SUDNLY ATTACKS HIS MEN. NOBLE SAVAGE: A MONER OM STLAND WHO FIGHTS FOR HIS HOMELAND AGAST THE KG OF ENGLAND. OFF WH HIS HEAD!: KILLS CHELTHAM THIS WAY. HE IS THEN EXECUTED BY BEHEADG. OMNIGLOT: HE SPEAKS ENGLISH (STS), STTISH GAELIC, LAT, AND FRENCH. POSTHUMO NARRATN: AT THE VERY END OF THE FILM, WALLACE IS HEARD SCRIBG HOW THE STS FOUGHT LIKE WARRR POETS AT BANNOCKBURN, AND WON THEIR EEDOM. "THE REASON YOU SUCK" SPEECH: GIV ONE TO A ROOMFUL OF STTISH NOBL WHO NTUE SQUABBLG SPE THEIR VICTORY AT STIRLG. RELUCTANT WARRR: EARLY ON, HE HOPED TO AVOID WAR AND LIVE AS A SIMPLE FARMER, BUT CIRCUMSTANC CHANGED THIS. NEAR THE END OF THE FILM, HE ADMS THAT HE JT WANTS TO HAVE A HOME AND CHILDREN AND TO LIVE PEACE, AND THE ONLY REASON WHY HE NTU TO FIGHT IS TO GA EEDOM FOR HIS PEOPLE. ROARG RAMPAGE OF REVENGE: HIS ACTNS AT LANARK ARE THIS. ROG SPEECH: GIV A VERY INIC DARE TO BE BADASS SPEECH BEFORE THE BATTLE OF STIRLG TO NVCE HIS RETREATG ARMY TO FIGHT THE ENGLISH. IT WORKS.
