Scotland in Fiction.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay; out of all Scottish history what would you like to see stories about? There was that not very Scottish play, and there was Outlaw King and the Australian fuckface's mangling of history too, but is there anything other than that which you lot would like to see made into a movie or tv show from Scotland?

Me, I personally would like to see an anime version of the Para Handy tales. However, I acknowledge that Para Handy has been a bit done to death over the years. I suppose a big screen version of the life of The MacAlpin would be too much to ask for though.

I want an accurate adaption of the historical Macbeth rather than another play adaption, and I'd especially love it if it were from the perspective of Lady Macbeth/Gruoch (her real name, most likely).

I love the play, but I also love the real history, and while the play has been adapted to death, as far as I know no one has done the real history.

I'd love a Robert the Bruce movie, with him as the star, and an at least reasonably accurate telling.

The Bruce movie is Outlaw King. It isn't completely wrong, although the end is pure Hollywood. If The Bruce ever had Edward II at his mercy he wouldn't have just kicked him up the arse and let him run off. And they really toned Sir James Douglas down a lot for the movie, the guy was even more OTT in real life. But they did at least have The Battle of Loudoun Hill take place at Loudoun Hill itself. So that is something.

The down side is it is on Netflix, so you may want to pirate that puppy.

...Why would they want to pirate it if it’s on Netflix?

Hmmm. Mary Queen of Scots and the murder of Lord Darnley?

They made a Mary Queen of Scots film with Saoirse Ronan, and I really wanted to like this female-directed, female-starred vehicle but honestly I thought it was kinda bad.

I would actually like to see someone tackle a more historically accurate William Wallace that actually includes Andrew de Moray. There's very little known about either of them in the actual written record but it's ripe for some historical fiction bromance if you so desire.

Andrew de Moray is quite an interesting figure by himself because he escaped captivity in England and returned to north east Scotland to fuck shit up while his father remained in the Tower of London. Then he joined forces with Wallace. Had Moray not died after Stirling Bridge, who knows how things would've turned out? It's certainly implied he had more clout with the Scottish nobility and was perhaps the brains of the outfit more so than Wallace.

John de Graham was equally ignored by said Australian fuckwit iirc. There are so many Wallace allies who died for that cause that THAT film barely touches.
