That's true Warbler, but the typical Hollywood way of framing a historical event is to slant the narrative to to an extreme degree. The good guys were really, really good, the bad guys were really, really bad. That kind of storytelling, in a historical film, just doesn't work for me. Now in a movie like Star Wars, it's perfect. Awesome.

I'm glad the Scots fought the British, as I'm sure the British government and military of the period was indeed oppressive and brutal. But had we been around to see it, I'm sure we'd see some horrific atrocities committed by the Scottish freedom fighters too. War is a nasty business, and the "good" side doesn't always act like it. I'm not anti-war, but that's just how it is.
