| 5. Let them be outraged, it's just a movie |

"....how can these people stupidly produce a film which distorts history?"
Making movies that distort history has been something that's been going on for decades! You do realize that William Wallace didn't wear a kilt and never had an affair with the Queen of England.
who happened to be 12 years old at the time and was still living in France.
The movie is based on a graphic novel that was released in 1999, and like others I think that people will see what they want to see, no matter what movie is playing.

The movie is based on a graphic novel that is loosely based on the battle. |

I hate that word "based," it's not based on the battle, it's debasing the battle. |
