How would people be able to tell the difference between what’s fake news and what’s real news? A lot of people today, even, have a hard time telling the difference. Think of it like watching today’s news from social media almost a thousand years in the future. So, too, will they control the documents that survive for us to piece together the story. If the people who can read and write are those who create the laws, it’s a fair assumption that those are the same people who control the documents and words that are written throughout the kingdom. What of the tidbit about historians saying the story’s narrator is a liar? Well, it’s sort of hard to argue that. The real William Wallace was born around the year 1270 A.D., which means at this point he would’ve been about ten years old. But that history is written by those who have hanged heroes. Then it continues as we hear that historians will say he-being the narrator-is a liar. The text on screen says the date is 1280 A.D., as the voice over explains that you’re about to hear the story of William Wallace. The movie opens in the beautiful, lush green Scottish countryside.
