    Have you heard of this movie?

    I watched this awesome movie on A&E today. It was set in Scotland and had these epic battle scenes full of kilts and claymores! It was so cool! The guys had blue paint smeared on their face, just like real Scots, and lived in mud huts. In the movie, the English wanted to take over Scotland, but this one guy was like "No way, man!" and killed them all in big bloody wars.

    I think it was called "Braveheart". Check it out! I really got a great history lesson!

    Here are Scotland's terms: Lower your flags and march straight back to England. Stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for 100 years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that, and your men shall live. Do it not, and everyone of you will die today.

    One thing that the historical innacuracy site forgot to mention... was something that Braveheart forgot to mention! Wasn't there a bridge involved in the battle of Stirling Bridge? Braveheart is a great movie to get drunk to and make fun of.

    Hmm A&E E for entertainment. I don't think I ever saw it on PBS, History or Discovery.

    Yes, you can get a history lesson...not from that film, though.
