Interesting historical video.

My UK followers will know that the SNP used the Mel Gibson film "Braveheart" as a recruiting tool and to stir up anti-English feeling. With some success I may say.

Here Gibson at the Scottish premier of the film and, to say the least, he's not happy at being used in this way.

OTD in 1290, England’s King Edward I ordered the expulsion of all Jews from England. Many never made it out alive, others fled to France, the Netherlands, and Scotland, which soon began its Wars of Scottish Independence against the same ‘Edward Longshanks’ made famous by the movie . 👉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_

It can't be denied, Braveheart is a very well-made and effective movie. Play that on TV a few times in the run up to any future Scottish independence referendum, and there'll be a free Scotland before you can say "Hung, drawn and quartered".

@samatari2 eh al 7 ho osato, ma di giorno. c'era una grande piscina, tra l'altro piena (insolito) e pulitissima, ma tutto intorno l'abbandono, nessun vivente a parte me e le porte della terrazza che scricchiolavano al vento. Sono andata via subito.

The is from . That is the one you see most often in parades. The are Irish, and you see those most often played by folk musicians.

The GHBs require the player to constantly blow up the bag. It only has nine notes, so they can't play tunes with rests/breaks or >9 notes in them. Their HUGE volume is actually from on *tiny* wooden reed, built like an oboe reed, that's about the length of a U.S. quarter.

The Uilleann pipes can play a wealth of notes. Their bag is kept inflated using a kind of bellows under the left arm of the .

The composer for the film did not realize the musical limitations, so the he wrote for the film could not be played on pipes. The theme you "see" the playing in the film is actually being played on a Uilleann .

Be sure to check out this video, where demonstrates how bagpipes work.

I walked in on the end of the movie Braveheart where William Wallace gets drawn and quartered. I have never seen this movie in its entirety.
I was well aware of the old method of drawing and quartering because I had a fascination with Henry VIII starting when I was about 11. I was a weird kid.

I also remember thinking when I was kid that “Braveheart” sounded like a Care Bear. I’m sorry, Scottish people.

I was pondering films like and (of course, there's so many more) and like..... why is it so hard to make historically accurate movies?

We know what happened. We have the documentation.

Are we just that lazy? Do we really need added drama and made up details to make a movie interesting? Isn't real life enough?

Inquiring minds .....

Mel Gibson, who I made a drink for that my crew at the old Starbucks on Robison Street in Vancouver called a ‘Mel’ . I was a huge fan of his work, but wanted to let the man sip his triple shot grande mocha in peace.

That French critics refer to an ahistorical drama as "our Braveheart" tells us all we need to know about its quality.
