Brave Heart
The film (1995) starred Mel Gibson was directed by Toby Reisz.It is based on the life of Scottish national hero William Wallace and his fight against English rule in Scotland during the 13th century.The film includes an affair between William Wallace and Princess Isabella (based on Isabella of France).The film implies she is a mothertobe when William Wallace will be killed.However,historically,the real Isabella was a child of nine still living in France at this time,never having met Wallace.The film also caused controversy because of its antiEnglish nature.Apparently,when the film was shown in Glasgow,there was a loud noise made by happy American audience.
