Mel Gibson’s Braveheart displays a way to introduce historical events to the present day though the use of imaginative history and film adaptation. Lawarence Raw’s book reviews of several medievalism texts‚ Imaginative History and Film Adaptations‚ proposes the idea that there could interdisciplinary work between filmmakers and historians (in particular medievalists) which could lead to a more comprehensive

When comparing and contrasting movies and books‚ the majority of the time the book presents more of a detailed atmosphere and illustration of events.
