Hey I’m a leftist ally and I think it’s a great movie. I don’t think the movie depicts the king as a pagan, there is a wedding scene where they are in a cathedral. If anything it depicts the king as a homophobic monster.

There are good ideas in the film the left can use, such as, “‘men don't follow titles, they follow courage.” I wish more of our leaders had the courage of their convictions, like AOC.

Great piece Evan!

Braveheart is indeed a nasty piece of work by another nasty piece of work. Mel Gibson's icky cartoon wears its intent in bigoted sterotypes and flat-minded slogans. I saw it 30+ years ago and the thought it still repels me.
