The Wallace connection comes from the directors visit to Scotland, Randall Wallace visited Edinburgh castle pointed up to the statue that is by the main gate of the castle and asked a guide "who was that guy with the same name as me?" Historions may mock Bravehearts accuracy but I can tell you in 1996 you came put of the pictures with the heart of a lion after watching that film, it was a sensation. Gibson was Wallace- hang the accuracy, hundreds and hundreds of years after his death, Wallace stirred the heart of a nation, and his belief that it was wrong for a powerful nation run by a psychopath to dominate, plunder and loot smaller nations holds fast throughout history and to this day. Mike thanks for the pics, one day I shall shake the hand of the patriot that is sir David Ross.
