Mel Gibson believes Braveheart paved way for devolution in Scotland

London, Sat, 31 Oct 2009 ANI

London, October 31 (ANI): Mel Gibson believes that his 1995 film 'Braveheart' led to political upheaval in Scotland, as the country was granted autonomy by the U.K government in 1998.

 

The actor insisted that the mood for devolution in Scotland was set by the historical movie about legendary Scot, William Wallace.

 

"I became really aware of what a piece of art could do to change things. Scotland had received partial autonomy, but I think the film started the ball rolling on some stuff," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

 

He added: "On the way to the premiere in Scotland the crowd was 50-deep and I couldn't believe there was so much feeling and fervour about the subject. It hit a chord, definitely."

 

The Scottish Parliament was set up as part of the autonomy and the citizens were permitted to deal with affairs like education, nvironment and healthcare. (ANI)
