Braveheart (1995)

Biographies are very interesting.  The are hundreds that have been made over the years that have not only been entertaining but also are educational in some way. Learning about an event or a person that has made an impact in some way in the past, in a movie, has always been something fans have been going to the theatre ever since the start of cinema.  Obviously, we want some truth to what we are watching.  So in retrospect, it is very disappointing to find out how inauthentic Braveheart's story is. Mel Gibson directed and starred in this epic film about William Wallace, a man who helped give Scotland its independence from England. However, was he truthful with what actually took place? Does it matter? After 30 years, does this film still hold up? Is it still worthy of the top prize at the Academy Awards?
