    ABOUT THE FILM 
    "Braveheart" is an epic historical drama set in 13th-century Scotland, directed by and starring Mel Gibson. The film follows William Wallace, a common man who leads a revolt against the oppressive rule of King Edward I of England. After the brutal execution of his wife, Wallace embarks on a journey to unite the Scottish clans in their fight for freedom. The film explores themes of liberty, sacrifice, and leadership, focusing on Wallace’s personal journey and the broader struggle for independence. With intense battle sequences and emotional depth, "Braveheart" highlights the cost of fighting for justice. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Mel Gibson initially rejected the role of William Wallace, believing he was too old. However, Paramount Pictures insisted on casting him, so Gibson eventually accepted.” 
      
    “When a local asked why the Battle of Stirling Bridge was filmed on an open plain instead of the actual bridge, Gibson humorously responded that "the bridge got in the way." The local retorted, "Aye, that's what the English found." 
      
    “One of the film's extras mistook one of Mel Gibson's children for an errand boy and asked him to fetch tea. Gibson overheard and whispered to his son, "Go get it." 
      
    “In an interview in 2009, Mel Gibson acknowledged that the film was heavily fictionalized but defended the changes as necessary for dramatic effect. He also mentioned that he felt at least a decade too old to play Wallace.”

    JAWS 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Jaws (1975), directed by Steven Spielberg, is a suspenseful thriller set in the fictional seaside town of Amity Island. When a great white shark begins attacking swimmers, police chief Martin Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper, and professional shark hunter Quint band together to capture and kill the beast. The film skillfully blends tension, horror, and adventure, focusing on the fear and chaos the shark instills in the community. Spielberg masterfully builds suspense by often keeping the shark hidden, using ominous music and minimal visuals. Jaws explores themes of fear, survival, and the unpredictable dangers lurking beneath the surface. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “For the drowning woman’s sound in post-production, Susan Backlinie stood with her head tilted back in front of a microphone. Water was poured from above into her throat to create the effect.” 
      
    “Jaws (1975) opened on only 490 screens, but within seventy-eight days, it became the highest-grossing film of all time. At that time, it was still showing in fewer than 1,000 screens.” 
      
    “Richard Dreyfuss initially passed on the role of Hooper, saying that while he would love to watch the film, he didn’t want to make it.”
