I recently watched Mel Gibson in Braveheart for the upteenth time. Gibson has reformed his career into producing, directing, and acting in historical decumentaries. Braveheart won five academy awards. For those who are unfamilier with the film, it concerns the period when Longshanks was king of England and was oppressing the Scots.

Gibson plays the part of William Wallace who led a successful rebellian against Longshanks and the British but eventually paid with his life. I've purchased two loaners of the movie to distribute among receptive friends.

I believe what this country desperatewly needs at the present time is a william Wallace to confront the elitists and the politicians.

Great pity the country isn't suffering some dire external threat and army of occupation then perhaps a William Wallace would arise, the character Gibson played in "the Patriot" would be just what you want, a sort of half mad, home grown, anti-daesh saturated in blood for the right reasons. Never mind it is early days yet or perhaps you need the quintessential Gibson in his characterisation of Mad Max for the post apocalypitical world of the post muslim wars

There are many inaccuracies in the movie depiction ,the biggest one being Robert the Bruce's betrayal of Wallace.He was betrayed by a Scottish knight in service to the English king, and arrested near Glasgow.But that knight was not Robert the Bruce.Bruce is the George Washington of Scotland.

Also ,pertaining to this post. Wallace was never a commoner . He was born into Scottish minor nobility . But he did lead a commoner army against the English occupation. That doesn't negate your point that he did often oppose the Scottish aristocracy ,(who feuded amongest themselved after the death of Scott king Alexander III ),as well as the forces of Edward I .

The issue is, there were Scots paid off with positions of nobility and who wanted to maintain the status quo in Scotland. The same condition exists in America today with massive numbers of cultural elite and holders of minor offices who constitute an approximation of conditions in Scotland at the time are happy with the way things and are are Bush, Clinton, and Obama supporters supporting the present corruption and degeneration. We have a massive number of diseased labor unions including our educational system, our legal system, and our politicians oriented to perpetuating corruption and milking it to become minor lords.

Perseption of one man's happy enscounced blindness becomes attributed to another man's inaccuracy of vision.
