Braveheart was the nickname for King Robert the Bruce, not William Wallace.

And when Wallace was executed it was worse than the film: Four different horses, one per limb, dragged Wallace for miles to his execution. He was hanged almost to the point of death, before being taken down and horrifically mutilated. While still breathing, his genitals were sliced off, his entrails pulled out, and his innards burned in front of him. It was only then Wallace was decapitated and dismembered. Wallace's head was placed on London Bridge, while the four quarters of his body were placed in Stirling, Aberdeen, Berwick, and Newcastle.

It’s the present dayJapanese kanji fir castle at the bottom and one strike away from the current kanji for tears at the top.

Very interesting that this artist chose an old Chinese kanji with a huge red circle at the bottom - kind of Japanese flag imagery.

Very interesting question! Why aren’t we simply satisfied with the content of the speech, the script and its message?

Why do we require the voice to be “as historically accurate as possible”? What’s next, a replicated 3D video of the event that we can experience as if it’s happening in front of us? To what end?

Why isn’t the script and the content of the speech enough to satisfy our inquiring minds?

This is an excellent explanation bc the prompt is based on a common misconception (no problem still a good prompt). But specifically your explanation hits all the parts I was nebulous on.
