They took his life but not his freedom, Life without freedom is no life at all
----------------------To Braveheart
As a movie enthusiast, I watched the movie several years ago, when I as still a high school boy; I loved this film from start to finish! I laughed at some of the antics, I cried at the sad parts, and most of all I was glued to the screen for the whole film! It takes a lot to keep my attention, as I normally potter around the classroom, when there is a Movie on (We watched movies on the TV installed in our classroom), but for this film, I sat for the duration and could not take my eyes off the screen. I did not want to miss anything. I have now had this DVD for quite a while now and it has been watched many times and it never loses its appeal.Braveheart is history the way it should be told, full of romance and treachery and battle and passion and Mel Gibson in a kilt. The story of William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish national hero, is obviously something Gibson, Braveheart's director and star, feels strongly about -- this is an extraordinary film about a people always oppressed and still not truly free, handled with graphic realism and heartbreaking sensitivity.
BRAVEHEART is set in Scotland in the 1200s. It tells the true story of William Wallace who was a famous commoner who led his people in a rebellion against the English. The movie is of epic proportions, length and grandeur. The audience can learn the entire history of William Wallace from the age of 8 until his death。
Within plenty of praiseworthy features,personally,I love the legendary romance between William Wallace and Princess Isabelle(played by breathtaking Sophie Marceau). They fell in live at the first sight, The film implies she is pregnant at the time of Wallace's execution, possibly carrying the future Edward III of England, which is really amazing.
This movie has some great action scenes, and with this track, rear channels and surrounds are used to full force. Sword swinging, screaming, slashes, it's all here and sounds well. Dialogue is remarkably clear and easy to understand, and the track sounds really good with James Horner's score. The cinematography makes one feel the beauty and the isolation of countryside. The music with the recurring and haunting melody of the lone Scottish bagpipe sets a sad and yet serene tone and mood.
As a must-see movie for any man, I have been greatly inspired by it for many years. Five stars from me!!

nice review,i like sophie too,
先来支持一下,男生必看的十大影片之一啊,我才看了一点,惭愧~~~
As someone who grew up not far from Culloden Battlefield, I have lived with Scottish history all my life, and this was a treat to watch. Not only have they taken the history books and given a semi-accurate account of Wallace's life and death, Gibson gave an outstanding performance of the man himself (and a not bad rendition of a Scottish accent too!).By the way i like your review
