Shocking development of Wallace and Isabel meeting

The last thing I would like to mention is the story of Princess Isabella, played by Sophie Marceau. In the second half of the film, Princess Isabella, who has been married from France to an English prince, goes to Scotland as a negotiator, and eventually crosses the line between friend and foe, and instead of forming a relationship of trust with Wallace, they develop a relationship of love. I end up If you accept this original part at face value, you may lose points on the world history test, so be careful.

This part is impossible for me considering my age. When William Wallace was captured by the British and tortured to death in front of the people, Isabella was only 10 years old and had yet to marry Prince Edward (later Edward II). This is about three years later. Therefore, it is impossible for the two to meet, let alone form such a special relationship.

From this, it can be seen that the movie is not constructed based on historical facts, but rather prioritizes the ``ideal story'' that has been developed by the creators. Indeed, as a theory, rather than simply fighting between allies and enemies, there is no doubt that it would be more three-dimensional if there was someone who could transcend the boundaries and understand each other from the same point of view.

Also, the relationship between the two, especially at the end when Princess Isabella whispers to her father-in-law, Edward I, "I have a child in my womb that is not related to your blood" (this is also fiction). The dialogue also has the effect of providing a harsh irony to the themes that the characters cling to throughout the film, such as ``hereditary inheritance,'' ``father and son,'' and ``blood ties.'' William Wallace's appearance in this work is so powerful and moving because he set himself apart from these and tried to unite the country beyond blood ties.

And history continues...
