The title is poorly translated, but not bad

With bold enthusiasm, the translation of such a title is really bad, if it is not for accidental factors, it is absolutely impossible to watch it. Who would have thought of a British historical film here?

But the plot is well-written and not too complicated to get lost in history. Of course, the social rules and customs of the British aristocratic era are also very divided. But the British people's spirit of making promises and contracts is still very obvious.

The plot has twists and turns. The only thing that feels boring is the narrative about the love between ROB ROY and his wife. The modern concept of family and love must be put into that era, and it is superficial. I remember that Spartacus, which I watched more than a decade ago, also has this characteristic.

I think the best thing in history is to restore people's concepts and behavioral logic at that time.

Rob Roy quotes

  • Robert Roy MacGregor: You should have told me, Mary.

    Mary MacGregor: Oh Robert, I should have but I could not. You were right.

    Robert Roy MacGregor: No, you were right. I must have my own way too often. I should have packed my pride and given Montrose his way!

    Mary MacGregor: No, Robert!

    Robert Roy MacGregor: And all this has come on us. Craigrostan would still be ours, Alasdair and Coll would be alive...

    Mary MacGregor: And wrong would have been done you!

    Robert Roy MacGregor: And what about the wrong done you? Wrong past bearing.

    Mary MacGregor: No, not past bearing! Not past bearing. Not if I have my Robert, and he has himself. And you would not, not if you had done a lesser man's bidding.

    [Robert is silent]

    Mary MacGregor: "Honor is the gift a man gives himself." You told our boys that. Would you have stolen from yourself that which makes you Robert Roy MacGregor?

  • Montrose: Great men, such as yourself, draw rumors as shite draws flies.

    Duke of Argyll: You are the shite, Montrose, and the flies upon it!
