How can someone not enjoy this movie? It was one of the BEST movies of all time. It had everything you could ever want in a movie. Romance, battle, drama, comedy.... ..amazing cinimatography. I'm still trying to figure out how someone who says the movie was amazing rated it as a 1 star. I think that is a mistake. It is clear of their knowledge of the movie states they thought it was and is one of the best movies of all time! True it doesn't reallly follow true history time line but, who cares really? It made me laugh it made me cry and to this day I'll watch it as a great stress relief! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! Full Review

A Destiny Written In A Battle For Honor- âBraveheartâ is a great story directed and portrayed by Mel Gibson as the romantic hero, William Wallace. He does a spectacular job of showing the viewe... rs his courage and the real meaning of a romantic hero that the media lacks today. In this story of battle and passion William Wallace leads his army through series of successful battles against the British armies. He uses his natural intuition to prevail in these situations. Through being the hero that he is, Wallace must endure the loss of his wife and fighting for the freedom of his country. The quest Wallace is truly searching for is not for triumphant battle or the title of a king, but just that of peace with a family of his own. After being blackmailed by Bruce, the great hero is captured. After being held hostage he is brought before a crowd and is slain in a way very symbolic to Jesus. This makes the viewer even more sympathetic for the romantic hero. It also builds the love for the strength of the hero when Wallace would never give a cry of mercy, his only plea is a shout of âFREEDOMâ, which is one of the most heartbreaking moments in the film. In the conclusion of the film it is shown how much of an impact our hero had. The armies chant âWallaceâ and gain the freedom they have fought for from the English. Even though the movie does not follow exact timeline and factual details it is an amazing plot that sets a high standard for any war movie to ever follow. Full Review
