In retrospect, the popularity of " Braveheart " seems like a foregone conclusion. The movie, which opened 20 years ago this week on May 24, , won five Oscars, two of them for star Mel Gibson in his roles as producer and director.

In that sense, Braveheart is an illuminating time capsule. The prince of England is a simpering stereotype, incapable of leadership and impotent to impregnate his strategically-garnered French wife. For plot purposes he’s homosexual, but the tone of the film makes him asexual: a hapless eunuch.

Edward II was one of the Kings most intimately acquainted with Newcastle Castle, spending a lot of time here during his reign, whether he was fighting against the Scots or his own barons. He must also be one of the most frequently discussed and least understood of all medieval Kings.

Braveheart , released by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox in , tells the story of William Wallace, the Scottish hero known for his rebellion against Edward I, also known as Longshanks. The story takes place in the late-thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries, a time when England ruled over Scotland with a stern, iron fist.

Braveheart seems to take great delight in portraying Prince Edward as a gay stereotype. In fact, the film wastes no time in letting the audience know how gay he is, when they show him making eyes at his male confidant during his wedding to Isabella of France.

Last night my girlfriend and I pulled Braveheart up as a kitschy couch-potato flick, and in that respect we were not disappointed. It looks and sounds dated.
