Part 3/6:
As the film progresses, Wallace travels across Europe and returns as an adult to witness his childhood home and his love interest during a wedding feast. The banter leading up to a display of physical prowess and subsequent events, including the tragic killing of Wallace's wife by the English, reflects the film's mix of romance and violence. The presentation of a droit du seigneur—the right of a lord to bed his vassal's bride on her wedding night—further spirals into chaos leading to Wallace's vow for vengeance.
This vow prompts a remarkable sequence of battles where Wallace’s characterized bravery shines through, yet the film’s portrayal fails to stay consistent with historical accuracy.
