While going on a bit of a #history tirade, the subject of the Picts came up which led immediately to the blue paint scene in #braveheart which is a version of the #battle of Stirling Bridge without the bridge. At that point in history, the Scots would have been wearing armor and wouldn't dream of participating in a Celtic pagan ritual, but Braveheart director #melgibson must have thought it would look cool, and it certainly did. It's probably the most epic scene in the movie.
Braveheart is awesome, but completely inaccurate
