It has survived, though, albeit barely. Either way, he was really pissed that he was denied his "right". Re: the Gaelic language and its disappearance - it is partly down to attempts in the past to wipe it out and encourage English in its stead, for various reasons. It's also partly practicality and simple dominance of another language eg if you're a Scot who speaks Gaelic, but most people around you speak English, you're not going to bother with Gaelic most of the time.
At least these have fairly strong cultural identities associated with them, so in more recent years attempts have been made to revive them, with varying degrees of success.
Cornish is, technically, dead - there are no living NATIVE speakers of the language any more, though there are several who can and do speak it. In France, most regional dialects were treated in much the same way. I speak Irish which is very similar to scots gealic and mo croi means my love or my heart Also think it's unlikely that a bunch of soldiers would have been shouting "My love!
Although with the level of accuracy in the film, it wouldn't surprise me RE: level of historical accuracy in the film. It's been said that Mel Gibson took some artistic liberty in the historical accuracy when he and other filmmakers made the movie. For instance, in the movie, it showed the battle of Stirling taking place on a large field. The real Stirling was actually a small bridge. It was the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
And William Wallace wasn't a scruffy peasant, he was a minor noble. Isabelle was, at the time, still in France and rather younger than she is in the film ie still a child. Edward Longshanks in fact outlived Wallace by two years, he didn't die at the same time. They got the historic capital city wrong - it wasn't Edinburgh, as it is today. Dunfermline, across the river, was the capital until Woad was used by the Celts, not by medieval Scots.
Tartan was not worn at the time, and not worn in battle until centuries later. Nor was the kilt worn while riding ouch! The bagpipes were not outlawed during the 13th century; that came much later. The Bruce and Wallace actually were on different sides; Bruce had a claim to the throne, and disputed Balliol's right to rule. This put him on the side of the English although he later turned against them. Wallace supported Balliol. Wallace and Bruce never met.
Oh, and the name "braveheart" was actually used to refer to Robert the Bruce. You might now get a sense of why most of my school friends despised the film. It was filmed in Ireland though and all the soldiers are the irish army reserves! There is a scene of Wallace running up a Mountain in the film and in the very beginning you can see the "twin sisters" of Glen Coe Gaelic is such a fascinating language to me I wish I remembered more of it.
My grandmother taught it to me when I was very young Although I sometimes can follow a conversation pretty well. It just depends. Yeah, I'll admit I'm a celtic-lurker or a closet-celt-aholic.
Question : The Irish man uses the "F expletive" in one of his first scenes. Would that word have been in existence then? Answer: It might have as the word is very old. But since it has always been considered very obscene it doesn't appear much in written form before modern time. The earliest written occurrence known is in a poem from before But regardless of whether the word existed or not; the dialog in Braveheart is in contemporary English, since 13th century Scottish would be impossible to understand for the average moviegoer.
So it's not a mistake for a character to utter the f-word. Question : Who designed William 's warpaint design at Stirling? Answer: Historically speaking Wallace's exploits didn't go much further than causing havoc for garissons about his area. The warpaint was all Hollywood. Question : Why did they decapitate Wallace after he said "freedom"? I thought they implied that if he said "mercy", they'd give him a quick death, but if not, they'd continue to torture him.
So what would they have done if he said "mercy"? Answer: In the end, they just gave up. They realised he was not going to say it before dying anyway, so they ended it.
If he would have said "mercy" they would have done the same thing, but it didn't matter anymore. They couldn't break him. He bends down to kiss her and as he stands back up, if you look over his left shoulder through the trees you can see the van going past. It's very quick, small, and blurred, but it's there. DVDs can be longer or shorter under different countries' TV systems.
