Part 4/6:
When delving into the battle scenes, Coração Valente offers cinematic grandeur but falters with several absurd moments. For instance, a soldier's failed attempt to throw a spear and an unbelievable strategy involving cowards among the Scottish fighters can seem farcical. Moreover, the film’s notable height discrepancy between the real historical Wallace and Mel Gibson—the actor portraying him—adds to the humorous nature of historical license taken by the film.
Additionally, moments such as the Scots managing to surprise English cavalry through unexpected tactics like revealing large spears add to the film's cinematic flair—though they are far from accurate representations of historical battles.
