BRAVEHEART THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MEL GIBSON CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 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.”Show book
