From the Paper:

" The film Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995) tells an epic story in traditional Hollywood epic fashion. The story is drawn from history, but the film is not a history but a fictionalized and romanticized account that some critics see as generally faithful to history while others see it as veering too far from the real story. Many of the characters portrayed in the film, among them William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, Edward I, Princess Isabella, Prince Edward, and the Sheriff of Lanark, were historical figures. One critic noted of the film,

Although it may pretend to present a true depiction of the events of that time, it's really just Hollywood glamorizing the story again. This does not in any way detract from the main reason you should be watching this film for enjoyment (Hong)."
