I didn't think Hollywood had to be true to life.

If far more entertaining to accuse the British queen of infidelity with the Scottish hero all those centuries ago rather than the reality of the situation.

 

History vs Hollywood slammed brave heart good.Edward I(long shanks)was very popular in his time.Edward II was believed to be a qweermo,but it was the princess who killed his boyfriend not long shanks.she was however guilty of infidelity (and did dispose her husband )but not with William Wallace.considering she was 6 at the time of William Wallace, and in the movie we are led to believe her son Edward III was William Wallace's son.well if thats true he didn't follow in his fathers footsteps.first thing he did when he ascended to the throne ? Invade Scotland! Man I love the history channel!

Sorry about that turn signal,I must have fallen asleep.

I know that Enemy at the Gates was hailed as the first serious Hollywood movie to look at the Eastern front of WWII. 

the eastern front had some of the most bitter fighting.and how can Hollywood mess that up?a love story?and sex scene? in the middle of a combat zone?.....why???????????????????????

Hollywood has never been really great with being accurate in history.  That's why the History Channel does Reel to Real episodes. 

absolutely right.history VS Hollywood.great show and its on my favorite channel too.

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

You meen the King of England is not scotish i kind of enjoyed that twist ....j/k

It isnt so much that Holywood twists facts but that there is an agenda and real ideology behind it and its ver delibrate.

You now have many generations of people around the world with twisted unrealistic world view.

They show the movie and then dissect the fact and the fiction. 

Look at Braveheart....Kingdom of Heaven and any of the Zorro or Robin Hood movies...

Hollywood likes to twist history for what it calls mass appeal.

British,Canadian and Americans and attacked Normandy.each was assigned different sections to hit.they weren't mixed together that doesn't mean Hollywood is trying to say the British and Canadians weren't there.they were and fought just as hard as the Americans.but the story took place in the American section.go 5-10 miles down the beach you might see Brits.
