While I'm sure Roderick Robertson's complaints about Braveheart are correct
(I found some major historical inaccuracies with a couple minutes' glancing
at an encyclopedia), I suspect it captures the flavor of the events fairly
well. The battle scenes may not have been historically correct, but I think
they did a good job of showing what it's like facing a cavalry charge, and
what happens when charging infantry meets. And it was really easy, as David
Cheng said, to imagine the Scotts as Sartarites, facing the Lunars.
