If you’re English, the problems with BRAVEHEART don’t relate to fabrics or pipes, but Gibbo’s anti-English resentment and hatred (which would later morph into anti-Jewish style riffs). His (and the writers) irresponsible disregard for historical accuracy stuck in this boys craw (it got worse in THE PATRIOT…”hey, let’s have the English do some Nazi crimes”).
I understand that historical epics ‘now and then’ have always played fast and loose with the truth, in order to fund the story, but it still rankles, even though I can admit it’s a mighty fine film, in purely cinematic terms. I think of it more along the lines of HIGHLANDER 😉
