    Reading up a bit might be a good idea.

    Let's put it this way- The Bruce felt so guilty about some of his political jockeying in his earlier years that his last wish was to have his heart cut out and taken on cursade, as a form of atonement.

    As someone who's so interested in Scotland, I'd think you'd be more interested in learning about it.

    That's just about the best brief description of that film that I've ever heard; the Che Guevara/hicks part is especially apt, though a shame.
