History peeps: ...William Wallace and Robert the Bruce: ... discuss❓


Helluva a seminal movie... the historical bridge fall and a few omissions/liberties
notwithstanding... it is still a career zenith high-point A+++ flick.

Tho'... where do you come out on them, now?

(and "aye": I got the William Wallace: The True Story of Braveheart book years ago)...

Though I just found me two new shows that are more parts documentaries.
Namely: Bannockburn The Real Bravehearts... and: After Braveheart II.

Both really really good... with lottsa (new) historical nuggets and
some differing takes/analysis of these two mega Scots and their era itself.
=======================================================
Tho' where do you come out on w.Wallace and Robert the Bruce?

Or a nutbag brigand of a scrapper who really only won 1-big-game?
An EPIC leader; a brave, daring, creative gorilla-fighter this Wallace?
(and the way he ended his life... that's a hard out, hero or overrated or anything else).

How 'bout The Bruce? (who did pretty much win in the end)...
A political pragmatist and the only one outcome studious?
Or politically disingenuous and nobility slanderous?
