Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of things. This included certain epic, life-altering movies -- Braveheart was one of them. At some point, a kind member of my family thought this was stupid and called my dad to see if I could watch it since I was "old enough". My dad agreed, but he put some weird stipulations on it that must have included no violence and no nudity.
So I wound up watching the following version of Braveheart, much to my ever-lasting confusion:
Funny...that was pretty much the same version my parents allowed me to watch...if you're a distant cousin this would not surprise me in the least.
ReplyDeleteI heard ponies die in the movie too, and that just made me sad, so I suppose its all for the best I've never seen the "Real" Braveheart.
:( Ponies.
ReplyDeleteAhhh yes... Edited versions. Hehehehe!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I'm gonna show my kids your version so they can tell their friends they saw the movie :) I have a feeling they'll enjoy yours better (especially the butt).
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have gotten edited versions! I got no versions. Of any movies. Except when I was with friends and pretended to their parents that my parents would have no problem with me seeing Die Hard at age 8.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it I wish someone would have shut off Old Yeller for me. Saw it at someone's sleepover party. What a way to send children off to try to sleep
DLK -- Let us know how they like it!
ReplyDeleteAnna -- Phahaha. Poor kids.
I never saw it either...
ReplyDeleteTurns out he dies at the end? Or maybe...the screen just goes scratchy?
Hard to say. I knew about the bum and the blue. Thanks for the education.
I still haven't seen "Braveheart," but I've heard about the mooning as well. :-P

I grew up with a firm belief that "The Sound of Music" ended with the concert. I didn't realize until I was around 18 that there were Nazi's in it at all. No idea what happened there.
ReplyDeleteTricia -- that's HYSTERICAL!
ReplyDeleteIt can take an nerves of steel to write about your family! Also... Mel Gibsons derriere - do not want to see! :)!
ReplyDeleteI did see braveheart, but this is also more or less what I remember too...
