In my original script, William Wallace was 27, and he worried that he might seem too old, especially in comparison with Catherine McCormick and anybody we might cast to play his first love. The thing I reassured him about was that my father-in-law was a prisoner of war in Germany. He was a bombardier and was shot down and spent two years in a prisoner-of-war camp. He did an absolutely, incredibly heroic thing. He was 19, 20, 21 years old through those times. If you cast a year-old to show that, you would think he looked like a baby.
So a movie has to be an impressionistic painting. I kept reassuring him that what he brought powerful and authentic, and he would be the perfect William Wallace. Is that true? What would be in it? But, of course, the battles have this magnificent pace and rhythm to them. Steve Rosenblaum, the editor, did a magnificent job as well. But I think where a lot of things that are cut out would pertain to is the supporting characters.
In writing a story like that, I wanted to know what each character was doing, what they were feeling, and what their arc was. Those are all those are all important things to the creative process. But in the end, the character you want to follow is William Wallace. So there were a number of additional moments with the other characters that I think would fascinate the people who love the movie, and I would love to see that four-hour version myself.

Braveheart is the best movie ever made in history, an absolute sculpted work of art that depicts every emotion of human existence, from suffering, to courage to love, in front of the background of political astuteness and socio-hierarchal analysis. Starbuck , so one could see why the former TV writer would be daunted by a grand-scaled historical epic like Braveheart.
When I wrote this script, I was writing, for the first time in my life, with complete disregard for how anyone else was gonna view the script. I even said a prayer that if I had one more script to ever write, and if I failed in my effort to be a writer, that I would go down with my own flag flying, and not trying to follow the Hollywood marketplace. With that inspiration, Randall Wallace was off to write his historical Scottish epic.

This would lead to another vital round of feedback coming from Rebecca Pollack, the daughter of famed director Sydney Pollack. As she was working at MGM back when Braveheart started its life, Pollack called Wallace with some interesting news of her own as the script made its way around the studio.
