You really think Scottish people are gong to attack English people because of Braveheart? I don't think so. You agree they did shitty things, what is so wrong about a movie depicting them doing those things? Would you say it was wrong to do a movie about the holocaust for fear of people attacking ordinary Germans?
Nope. Nor would I have problem a movie that depicts English people doing bad things to another people, like Michael Collins or The Wind That Shakes The Barley. But Braveheart doesn't just depict English people doing evil. The specific way the English are portrayed and treated by the film seems to me to particularly encourage hostility towards English people. I know people who've come out of that movie wanting to beat the shit out of some English people.

I think it's possible. I'm probably a lot more familiar with Celtic Anglophobia than you are, being a citizen of a celtic nation.

Well maybe you don't, but other people do.
