That's just a miniscule amount of the rubbish the film included. Gibson is known for his anti-English movies (as well as his anti-Sematism it would seem) I find it sad that people don't know enough of their own history to be taken in by such ****.

You didn't read what I said or understand it. I was taling about the accuracy of the general English invasion of Scotland. If you are claiming Edward did not invade Scotland as he did Wales then you are incorrect. Other than that it is the usual you'd expect from a Hollywood movie, of course it is inaccurate in many ways, it call Edward a pagan.
Gibson isn't really anti-English, he was telling a story of the English invasion and attempt to conquer Scotland as he tried to tell the story of a bit of the American fight to free themselves from the British in the patriot.
