LISTEN TO HIS SPEECH CAREFULLY. Mel Gibson, an excellent Aussie-American hollywood actor starring as the "William Wallace" character in the movie - BRAVEHEART - based on a real story took place in Scotland. William Wallace gave his fellow country-men a freedom speech against the tyrant British(Anglo-Saxons)King's Royal Army. Scotts and Irishs want to have their own independence from the corrupt-brutal Royal Kindom of England.
