 Written on November 2, 2008 Summary: Excellent! I have to say Braveheart is a most own for any man. If you dont own this you should! Written on October 24, 2008 Summary: Braveheart - historical fiction for the future Braveheart, despite some historical inaccuracies, is a high quality movie with much more than simple entertainment value. It belongs in everyone's library, not only because it should be considered a cimematic classic, but because it imparts important cultural, political, and western sociological tenets which must not be forgotten by our modern 'take it for granted' culture. The lessons of history must not be forgotten lest we find ourselves doomed to repeat them. Mel Gibson's Braveheart is an excellent vehicle to impart these lessons. It's violent and bloody, it's romantic, it's realistic enough to make one sit up and pay attention. If you haven't seen it, do so. If you have but don't own a copy, buy one and watch it several more times. Our future depends on it. Written on October 23, 2008 Summary: The Best Movie EVER Made This is simply the best movie ever made, containing all the elements a perfect movie should, even considering that every person has a right to his/her opinion. The soundtrack is amazing, the scenes are ingenious and the story is simply excellent! This is a story about a Scotsman named William Wallace (Mel Gibson) and his fight for the freedom of the Scottish people, from the oppression of the English ruler-ship. After seeing the death of his wife at the hands of an English nobleman, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) sets out on a quest for vengeance that quickly turns into a crusade for freedom for the entire "country". The extreme violence as well as the human compassion in this movie are overwhelming in its brilliancy. Written on October 10, 2008 Summary: Abba Kablah!!!! Rising up in the morning sundale of towering castles, effic battles, mad kings and the legendary love-affaire that helped the course of history. This is the heroic pallage of Braveheart winner of 5 academy awards... Returning to his birthplace in the roughed highlands, William Wallace, an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision, frees his people and becomes Scotlands greatest true-life legend... Also starring as William Wallace, director Mel Gibson himself changes the course of history in this three hour epic. Similar to directors like Akira K. & Sergei Eisenstein, Mel Gibson shows us that editing still is the finishing touch to complete a masterpiece. This breakthrough digs deep in the roots of history. Quoted from Robert DeBruce(opening scene):'I shall tell you the story of William Wallace. Some say I'm a liar...'. Bottom line is that this film shows us what filmmaking really is all about. Sharp and smart editing, an unforgettable cast, the best up till now of James Horner, brilliant first featuring directing by the promising Gibson, great cinematographie by John Toll. In two words.......Magic & Mooning!!! Written on September 30, 2008 Summary: If you don't own this DVD...REMEDY IT!!! Hopefully, the furor over THE PASSION will not obscure this, Gibson's masterful account of the life and death of Scottish patriot William Wallace. Short on facts but long on legend, BRAVEHEART is an epic in the grand style of David Lean, possibly the best character biodrama since LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. This Academy-Award winning film, Gibson's directorial debut, is lavish, colorful, and long. Gibson's portrayal of Wallace is mythic, but threaded with a fine appreciation of the human frailties of Wallace, who led his countrymen in a protracted War of Independence against English rule in the early 1300s. Gibson's Wallace is balanced, a leader amongst men who accepts his role and the attendant lionizing that accompanies it, with bemusement and wit. The character of Wallace is nearly the perfect man, being forceful, ruthless, civilized, passionate, crafty, educated, and sensitive as the occasion demands. His slow downfall in the second half of the film (and his horrible death) are envisioned not as failures in the man but as born of a need to believe, even in the face of the treachery and self-interest of others. The Scottish nobles are drawn as amoral and torn between alliance with England and a fractious independence (as they historically were). Although they fail Wallace miserably, he is so convinced of the rightness of his cause that he returns time and again to them to bolster his military and political clout. The vicious betrayal of Robert The Bruce (and his ultimate redemption) is a plot within a plot, and is played beautifully by Angus McFadyen. Gibson's vision of the battle scenes, drawn as they are with hundreds of extras, screaming horses, and gore enough for a teenage "slaughter" movie, are singularly exciting and propel the film forward at a literal gallop. The bloody-handed Wallace is a vision in violence and determination, and ultimate passion. Fine performances are supplied by Patrick MacGoohan as King Edward "Longshanks" Plantagenet, Sophie Marceau as the Princess of Wales/French King's daughter, and by Catherine McCormack, who plays Wallace's wife Murron. Murron, and her memory, animate Wallace, and therefore, animate the film. McCormack is angelic and sensual by turns as need demands and carries this brief but crucial role with grace. BRAVEHEART is creatively fictionalized history and fine inspiration. It is a story in which, as Wallace says: "Every man dies...not every man really lives." |
