Using An Historical Rebel In A Script
Outstanding men and women in history can be very provocative subjects
for a screenplay, particularly those who were rebels. Historical rebels who have
done exceptionally brave or daring deeds, like taking a stand against an established government or ruler, make
fascinating subjects for screenplays.
In the film, Braveheart
, William Wallace, a Scottish common man who lived in the 13th century, leads a rag-tag army against the tyrannical British who rule Scotland. The film, Gladiator,
tells the story of one exceptional Roman army general, Maximus, who becomes a gladiator and seeks revenge against the powerful, self-proclaimed emperor, Commodus.
There are very famous and lesser-known rebels in history whose stories can be transformed into exciting screenplays.
