Chapter 371: Chapter 95 Verbal Battle

“I was fortunate to have finally seen the latest work by the Miracle Director Adrian Cowell yesterday, yes, the war movie that caused quite a stir at the beginning of the year. Just from the scenes, it wasn’t too bad, quite grand and with an epic feel, the stirring war scenes were enough to boost every man’s adrenaline, and his control over visuals and pacing was always decent, but from other aspects, this movie… was terrible.

I think, Mr. Adrian might need to go back to school for a proper history lesson, especially on British history—during the era of William Wallace, Scots had not yet begun wearing kilts. Of course, distinguishing between the English and the Scots is an acceptable excuse, but let’s not forget that Wallace’s entire family was loyal to Edward I, if we really want to nitpick, Wallace should be considered a traitor not a hero. It’s ironic that the real hero, the real ‘Braveheart,’ Robert Bruce, was portrayed as a hesitant character, who only started striving for Scotland’s independence inspired by Wallace’s death.

Besides, Isabelle was just a few years old and had not yet moved to England during Wallace’s rebellion, how did she manage to cross the English Channel and develop a bond with Wallace? I believe Adrian could have adapted this part – Isabelle, meeting Wallace, falls for him at first sight, and then they have an affair. Later, when Edward I captures Wallace and sentences him to death, Isabelle whispers to him that she is pregnant with Wallace’s child. Look, isn’t that moving and steadfast? That is how a Hollywood movie should be, isn’t it?

Not to mention other details, in the first decisive battle, one of the soldiers fighting Wallace, sometimes wore a helmet, sometimes not, his appearance shifting immediately as the camera turned. It must be said, Wallace was lucky, his opponent was too busy taking off and putting on his helmet, otherwise, he might have already died at the hands of the enemy.

This was a film completely lacking in sincerity, anyone who knows anything about that period in history could spot countless errors within three minutes of viewing, the Miracle Director choosing such a theme to produce such a film seems more about showing off himself. Look, he can shoot any genre. The audience’s feelings can wait until later.”

—The Times, Johnny Stanley.

“There is no doubt, this is a splendid movie, a grand epic, a cry of defiance of a nation, Wallace’s cry of ‘Freedom’ before his execution was resounding!

This is a story adapted from real history. In the Middle Ages, Britain was not unified as it is now, England and Scotland were constantly at war against each other, sometimes unified, sometimes divided, and ‘Braveheart’ tells the story of the heroes that emerged for Scotland’s fight for independence during that period.

William Wallace’s father was a hero, who was executed by the cunning King Edward Longshanks during the fight against England. Although Wallace hated the English, he did not wish to inherit his father’s will until his fiancée was killed for resisting an English soldier. After Wallace avenged her death, amidst the village and friends shouting ‘we have a hero’, he finally understood the value of freedom and embraced his destiny.
