"William Wallace? Scottish independence? If Adrian chose this theme, he must have short-circuited his brain," said a certain British journalist upon hearing the news, "Not to mention how inevitably connected William Wallace is to Scottish independence, the topic of Scottish Independence itself wouldn't be endearing. If this were true, I wouldn't support him anymore."
Of course, there were people with different opinions, "Maybe it's about introducing Robert Bruce through William Wallace. The movie is said to be titled 'Braveheart,' a moniker Robert Bruce had during his fight for Scottish independence."
However, journalists or critics who held this view were few and far between; most deemed the topic boring. It was bound to spark controversy and criticism, not something fit for the Miracle Director. The ordinary people of the United Kingdom weren't as concerned.
