Braveheart
The iconic hero tragedy film of Braveheart and its depiction of Scottish rebel leader Wallace, portrayed by Mel Gibson, was a huge hit and win with audiences. And while everyone walked away from the film amazed by the script and detail, and absolutely hating the British monarchy just a bit more, historians were grumbling how the film was allowed to happen at all without someone speaking up. As it turned out, Gibson’s character and many others were obvious in kilts. The problem was the movie time setting was the 1300s, and kilts didn’t become commonplace until the 1600s. Someone in costumes missed this detail bigtime.
