#10: Braveheart

Mel Gibson’s Braveheart is often associated with the iconic Scottish kilts, yet this attire didn’t emerge until the 16th century, significantly later than the film’s setting in the 13th century. While the depicted face paint aligns with historical practices, its coexistence with kilts presents an anachronism.

Despite this discrepancy, the film remains celebrated for portraying William Wallace’s struggle for Scottish independence, showcasing themes of courage, loyalty, and resilience. However, its historical inaccuracies have been criticized, highlighting the challenges of balancing cinematic storytelling with fidelity to historical accuracy.
