The story of Braveheart is simple, but powerful. Peaceful William is driven to rebellion when his wife is killed. He becomes so devoted to the rebellion he starts, he sells his life to it, fighting both the corrupt Nobles of his country and the English oppressors.
The dialog of the film is simple and subtle. It's straightforward, and doesn't beat around the bush or sound poetic. It doesn't waste a moment of time, not an easy feat in a three hour film. THe film contains some great lines, lines that speak the pure truth of the matter. And also lines that are deceitful, the ones nobles are usually speaking.
James Horner's music is sweeping and majestic; it beautifully uses the bagpipes to add the ethnic flavor of Scotland and it sounds truly moving. It adds to the tension and excitement of every battle, and adds grace to every scene of love or silence.
The cinematography is an absolute treasure; a majestic sight to behold. A perfect fog always seems to settle, and the film looks as good rainy as it does in the clear sunlight. The towns are perfectly created, and look great. The costumes are superb, kilt to armor, looking authentic. Shots of thousands of soldiers charging look spectacular and epic on a grand scale.
The cast of the film are all absolutely superb. They all fit their roles perfectly, and everyone's accent is flawless. James Robinson is a great young Wallace. His facial expressions and quiet thinking-like stance, come off great and define the character early as emotionally pained. Catherine McKormkak is stunningly beautiful and full of joy , as Wallace's wife, and it is the memory of her that keeps William going. Brendan Gleeson is excellent as Wallace's friend Hamish; the gruff guy showing feelings through a lot of punches. Sophie Marceau is the weakest, but she nonetheless delivers a fine performance as the princess of Wales, who is not loved and suffers because of it. Patrick McGoohan is wicked awesome as Longshanks, the corrupt and evil king, with every line delivered with a wicked perfection. He is truly terrifying, in a villainous way. It's just the way he commands things, the subtly of how he so easily decides his troops can die, or how even after his nephew dies he is more concerned about the possibility of losing his head (in a literal sense). David O'Hara provides the comic relief as crazy Irishmen Stephen. He's downright hilarious, as he converses with god, but do not degrade the character to as little as a comedian. Soon after his first wise-cracking scene, it's down to being serious as he saves Wallace from a crazy man. Angus McFayden is perhaps the best support. He is the naive noble, who so badly wants freedom and to help Wallace, but is constantly deceived by those around him. His innocence rings true, as does his anger when he decides to change his ways of doing things. In a performance perhaps more terrifying then Longshanks, is Bruce's father played by Ian Bannen. Maybe it's the fact he's a leper, slowly decaying and dying (excellently shown with makeup), but I believe it has something to do with how he delivers every line so calmly. And what is he saying? He's discussing how he plays the country; how he thinks of the rebellions as a game, as opportunity for more land and support. It's scary. And of course there's the star Mel Gibson, as the heroic hero himself: William Wallace. Gibson is emotionally charged and deserved a Best Actor nod. He portrays Wallace as a very angered and hurt man. In one sequence particularly, from the time his wife dies until he brutally kills her murderer, Gibson does not speak. But it's all on his face; the pain, the hate, and even an air of sadness. And even as the dead body hits against his shoulder, he remains impassively depressed looking. He makes no acknowledgment that people are chanting his name in victory. His speech at the first battle, major battle, is truly inspiring. He delivers it with heartfelt passion, coming from a man who is being honest; trying to lead his countrymen in a fight for freedom not the Nobles' profit. And all the pain and anxiety, yet strength of will and character, come off perfectly in his final scene as he is brutally tortured. His face: unforgettable at every moment. Truly moving and powerful.
The direction is masterful. Here, Mel directs as as sharply as he acts. THe visuals are worthy of Peter Jackson, the battles are worthy of Ridley Scott, and the storytelling is worthy of Steven Spielberg. THe violence is intense, the battles being some of the most violent I've ever seen. It's not for the squeamish, but the violence is there to show the hardships of the fight for freedom. Mel holds no bars back. He unleashes medieval brutality. The final torture scene is brutal, but it shows Wallace's triumph to overcome it.

Braveheart was a huge deal when it first came out. I never really watched the film properly until recently. As a frequent cinema-goer since my youth I was not a part of the mid-nineties cultural phenomenon that was Braveheart's release in Scotland. I did turn up at the the cinema, the old Odeon in Edinburgh, but the queue went round the block (the literal term for a blockbuster) and there was no way in hell I was prepared to wait for three hours on a gray September afternoon (a choice I came to regret). Every subsequent attempt since then was blocked. I never rented the video as I didn't want to watch in pan-and-scan. The fact that every single living Scottish person had seen it apart from myself really got on my nerves, and I was quite bitter about it. And then, as the fever died down, I just kind of forgot about it and moved on.
Watching it fully as an alt I think I probably enjoy it more now that I would have done as a teenager. It's certainly a huge epic right up there with the best of them. Mel Gibson captures the pretty side of Scotland wonderfully with his scope photography accompanied by James Horner's bittersweet score. The film never really feels three hours long, the time just disappears.
Nearly every notable Scottish actor (apart from Connery and Connelly) appears at some point. From the brilliant (Brian Cox) to the dreary and pretentious (Peter Mullan). Keep a lookout for Tommy Flanagan too, in one of his earlier roles.
The battle scenes are impressive, but I wish there were more gory. Gibson's first cut of the film was apparently bloodier, I wish it had remained intact. But despite the grim satisfaction of seeing the English aggressors getting splattered the fact that Scotland IS still ruled by England kind renders Wallace's bravery irrelevant. It may have been 700 years ago, but I hate the fact that he ultimately died for nothing. We DON'T have a country of our own, plain and si-mp-le.
華萊士,終其一生都是一個鬥士,一個為了愛情而斗的鬥士,一個為了自由而斗的鬥士,一個為了國家和命運而斗的鬥士。他是一個讓人尊敬的英雄。
首先是華萊士他的成長,對他而言,真正的成長是在失去了父親以後。之前他只不過是一個單純的小孩而已。當他看到那個小屋裡被人弔死的同胞,他只是一種震嚇,一般小孩一樣驚嚇而已。但他父親哥哥死後,他變得勇敢,敢於直面死亡了,面對他父親和哥哥的遺體,他變得如此平靜。再後來,他叔叔把他帶走,說是人要先學會用他的腦袋才能真正的戰斗,把他帶去接受教育,這個是他的故事的開端,也是他生命意義上的長大了。
其次是他的愛情,這部片他的愛情分成了兩部分。一個就是和小時候的梅倫,一個美麗的蘇格蘭姑娘,一個在他父親的葬禮後送了一枝花安慰他的人。華萊士求學有成後回來向他求婚。因為當時貴族享有初夜權的原因,他們在森林裡偷偷的結婚了,這里可以體現出他的一種反抗的精神,一種本能的叛逆。但他們的愛情沒有維系多久,因為梅倫的美麗太耀眼了,貴族殺了梅倫,這是蘇格蘭和英格蘭的戰斗的導火線,因為這引發了華萊士的爆發,揭竿而起,各地響應。第二段是與皇後的感情。皇後丈夫本來就是個同性戀,包辦的婚姻讓她感覺不到愛情的存在,根本沒有感情可言。缺乏了愛情的滋潤,讓為愛情而起的華萊士走進了她的心靈,她自然為華萊士的豪情傾倒了。而華萊士則是在為了自由而奮身博殺,因為失去了梅倫,他一直在為了他的信念作戰,皇後的美麗和善良感動了他,兩顆乾枯的心就這樣融在了一起。
再說說他的戰斗,華萊士開始戰斗的時候,是因為貴族殺了他的妻子梅倫,可以說是一個簡單的復仇行動,但事情一開始就不能再受到控制的,尤其是領導權掌握在一個聰明人的手裡。後來,他們起義得到了各地不斷的支持,這讓人看到了蘇格蘭的自由希望。一個方面是因為他們蘇格蘭的人受迫壓太久了,再加上華萊士所學的智慧,他們勢如破竹,這就很讓人,特別是愛德華心慌了。想盡辦法招安華萊士,最後還是利用了一個騙局把華萊士抓了。
最後,在砍頭台。這里是這部片的一個精華了,思想就是在這里的。行刑前,兩個小丑在那裡舞盡丑態,讓人發笑,但也是說明了英國人的行為恰恰就是兩個小丑所為。華萊士就刑,行人對這位英雄扔雞蛋、爛菜,恰恰說明了國民的麻木和愚昧。後來在刑台上,華萊士受盡了各樣殘酷的折磨,下面則是一片歡呼聲。華萊士就刑前,看到那個小孩在笑,可能這里也是一個希望的延續,把希望寄託給了後人。那聲振饋發聾的「freedom」讓人久久不能放下思想,激人不斷前進。可以說,在刑台這段,是鮮明的對比讓這個自由的精神體現的淋漓盡致的。一邊是鬥士、英雄,一邊是愚昧的國民;一邊是前進中的先鋒,一邊是止步不前的落伍者。差距就在這里體現了,代溝在這里產生。
勇敢的心是震撼人心的,因為這里有可貴的思想——自由。沒有自由了你們還能幹什麼?也許是真的,我們也該好好思量思量。

The Review of Braveheart
I am deeply impressed by William Wallace』s courage and the efforts that the Scottish created to resume soverienty.It reminds me of my dream.Dream,whatever it is,really should be pursued heart and soul.Compared to Wallace,I am so lazy and passive.I watched it,giving free outlet to my thoughts and tears.
There are two scenes over which I really feel melancholy.The initial is when Meilun is buried. The same point happened when Wallace was yong,weeping at the death of his father.Tiny Meilun sent him a purple thistle .to console his sorrow.Even so,Meilun is dead now,no a single would send him a purple thist any much more.He has only himself in this world following losing the two persons he loves most.The second one particular is the very first war against England in the battlefield.,in which they were much weaker in regard to weapons and numbers.Confronted with immense difficulties,they had been not afaid,thinking we would drop.Instead,they fighted bravely and confidently.
Life will not usually be what we want. Wallace』s father died when he was a small boy.He did not want this tragedy transpire but it did take place,so he had to accept it;when his uncle came and would part him with his hometown,he obeyed with reluctance;moreover,his heart was broken facing the death of Meilan,but he had to accept it and be strong.Adversity leads to prosperity on situation that we can turn sorrow into strength.
Much as what is stated above,courage alone won』t guarantee success.Wallace』s uncle informed him :」you have to find out to use your thoughts,then weapons.」Being flexiable and conscious is even more critical,that is to say ,you know how to obtain your goal prior to you take actions.Additionally,it is worth notifying that pals are also extremely important in the pursue of dream.A life devoid of a pal is a life with out a sun.Wallace has Hamiss,who accompanied him to the end.

Ⅶ 拜託了,急啊!勇敢的心 英文觀後感
Hills, bagpipes, mist, the word 「Scotland」 written along the bottom of the screen – it can only be one place. That』s right, Wales. Nah, only joking – as if anyone would ever make a film about Wales.
Mel Gibson both directed and starred in this tartan-clad epic about William Wallace, the legendary Scottish freedom fighter/terrorist who, even way back in the 14th Century, had already had enough of the English going on about winning the World Cup in 1966. So, armed with just some rocks, a few hundred muck-dwellers and an extremely peculiar accent, he led a nation to fight for freedom from English tyranny. Or something along those lines.
It』s actually fairly appropriate to be so vague about all of this, because nobody really knows all that much about the real Wallace (and most of what we do know comes from a poem). You could spend a lifetime picking apart the historical inaccuracies in the flick, and there would still be those who』d disagree with what you found.
Because of that, how much enjoyment you can get from this 177-minute beast depends largely on your willingness to accept Wallace as a charmer with biting wit and a permanently clean-shaven chin. As the sort of bloke beautiful French princesses would hand over national secrets to simply because of the way he looks at them. Or even just as a guy who doesn』t smell like moss.
The most breath-taking, if gruesome, parts of the movie are the incredibly lifelike battle scenes. Putting them together must have been an immense project to undertake, but you』ve got to hand it to Gibbers – he does it very, very well. He also makes a likable hero figure, providing you can put to the back of your mind the fact that he』s basically playing the original ned.
Personally I find the movie far too long, particularly as parts of it play like a TV advert for the Scottish Tourist Board. In one scene, for example, Wallace sprints to the top of a mountain and just stands there, kilt billowing, for no apparent reason. Anyone who』s ever worn a kilt will of course know that the last place you』re likely to linger is a-top a windy Scottish mountain. Talk about 「freedom」!!

Long before The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson directed another cinematic masterpiece, Braveheart. Filmed against the backdrop of majestic mountains and rolling meadows, it tells the historically-based (yet not entirely accurate) story of William Wallace, a common man』s warrior who led the Scottish people in rebellion against King Edward I, also known as 「Longshanks」. Written by Randall Wallace, an American tourist fascinated with a Scottish statue of his namesake, the script collected st in Hollywood for over a decade before Gibson made the brilliant decision to put it on the big screen. Just like The Passion, it』s a decision he would not regret.
Set in the 11th Century, Braveheart catalogues the struggle of Scottish serfs who labor under the brutal oppression of English occupation forces. Amidst these terrible conditions, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) falls in love with Murron MacClannough (Catherine McCormack). Insistent on not sharing his wife (a proclamation by the king gives local rulers 「first-night rights」 to new brides) Wallace secretly marries Murron. Nevertheless, an English knight assaults her, sparking a fight with Wallace. Fleeing the village, Wallace believes Murron has escaped and will soon meet him at a secret rendezvous point. But Murron is captured and executed by the king』s emissaries.
Angered by his wife』s murder, Wallace instigates a local rebellion, slaughtering all the king』s loyalists in his village. As his rebellion grows, a distraught Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan) dispatches his fabled Northern Army to destroy it. But the heroic Wallace delivers a stirring speech to rouse his men, while deploying an ingenious battlefield trick to defeat the king』s cavalry.
With the power and legend of Wallace growing day by day, Longshanks relies on his daughter-in-law, Princess Isabelle (Sophie Marceau) to broker a truce. But Isabelle』s power is limited, and Wallace realizes his people can only win freedom if backed by the Scottish nobles. Their appointed leader is Robert the Bruce (Angus MacFadyen) who vacillates between his own idealistic views and his father』s pessimistic pragmatism. Will the nobles join with Wallace? Will the Scots win their freedom? Only history tells us the answer.
With elaborate costumes, vivid battle scenes, and a noble hero as its focal point, Braveheart is more than your typical run-of-the-mill action movie. Part history, part Hollywood heroism - its timeless idealism strikes a cord with every viewer. In fact, the movie itself led to a revival in nationalistic pride that fueled the successful Scottish independence movement of the 1990s. It』s a testament to the strength and character of the real life William Wallace. A thousand years later, his enring legacy continues to transform the European landscape, and Mel Gibson captures the noble warrior』s passion with an awe-inspiring Academy Award-winning masterpiece.

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. We learn the entire history of William Wallace from the age of 8 until his death.
Mel Gibson, in what I found to be his best role ever, plays the grown up Wallace. Gibson directs the movie as well. The story is full of fascinating history of which I knew little. I have a good English history background but was surprised at what little early Scottish history I knew. Wallace wants to live in peace and ignore the English atrocities he has witnessed, but circumstances force his hand, and he declares war on the English. His battle cry is freedom and many poor people follow him in his quest. The story itself is quite compelling, and the script is excellent.
The political intrigue among the Scottish nobles makes you wonder whose side they are on. As the story unfolds, you come to realize that they are only interested in enriching themselves and do not care about their own people. They constantly counsel Wallace to compromise his ideas in order to achieve some lesser, but more practical solution. His vision is a singular one of freedom for his people. I found myself thinking of Gary Cooper in THE FOUNTAINHEAD and the similarity between his role and that of Gibson's. All of the leaders who were the "wisest" urged constant compromise on their rising young stars in both movies.
Actually, the movie most like BRAVEHEART is GETTYSBURG for both had huge and realistic battle scenes with wave after wave of humans charging each other and dying. Of course, many people will compare BRAVEHEART with ROB ROY. They are both about old Scottish heroes, and in my book, BRAVEHEART wins hands down. Finally, you may find yourself thinking of the Judas story from the Bible except here the movie has a plethora of Judases.
One example of the quality of the script is that the writer manages to introce a very funny character without it seeming like merely a plot device, which of course it is. This character is a mad Irishman who steals every scene he is in with his dialog. I laughed out loud many times. Although there was little humor in this serious tale, there was just enough to keep me from ever tiring even though I had to stay seated for three hours.
Too often period pieces seem like merely exercises in style. I found QUEEN MARGOT to be one such movie. Here the wonderful costumes and set decoration feel totally authentic but in a natural way. I felt like I was actually in the thirteenth century where people's faces were frequently dirty and in general personal hygiene was minimal. When they made their kills in battle or in revenge, I could sense how close they were to animals then. The blood would splat on their faces, and they could just as easy have been wolves.
I have been to Scotland many times and it is gorgeous. In a low key but quite impressive way, 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.
BRAVEHEART runs a long, but well worth it, 2:52. I would not want it shorten. It is rated R, but NC-17 would be more appropriate. It is THE goriest movie I have ever seen and that too I would not change because it allows one to vicariously live through what actual battles in that period would be like. Please be warned that you will see almost every part of the human body being chopped off or stabbed in one scene or another. Imagine any physical horror, and there is probably a scene of it in BRAVEHEART. Nevertheless, there was not one scene where I thought the violence was gratuitous. I would let older teenagers see the movie, but would be careful with impressionable younger ones.

When pagan Saxons invaded Britain pushing the native Celtic tribes back in the mountains of the west and the north of the country they couldn't have known what difficulties they leave to future generations. One of the difficulties were Scots, though they weren't much affected by the pagan invasion.
Throughout the history, Scots (as a tribe from Ireland was in 360 mentioned by Romans) had a changing luck in battles, whoever they fought. They had had many various allies and fought against many various enemies, including their former or future allies (politics).
Originally based in Ireland, the Scottish tribe later established their kingdom on the west coast and isles of today's Scotland (between years 501 and 503). Generally, they were never good friends with tribes which lived on the isle, called Britannia by the Romans, before them; perhaps because they came from Ivernia, today's Ireland...
The intolerance between the two sides resulted in many battles and rebellions. In 600, 300 Edinburgh horseman were killed by the English, in 1014 king Malcom II defeated the Danes, four years later another victory was won on the river Tweed, at Carham, against the army of Anglo-Saxons (particularly Northumbrians). On the other hand, king Duncan was defeated by the English and killed by famous character of the Scottish history, MacBeth, who is defeated in 1057 by Malcolm Canmore in the battle of Lumphanan etcetera etcetera.
Then, in the year of approximately 1272, William Walace is born in Ellerslie. He is fated to become one of the most important characters of the history of Scots. In age of twenty-five years, he kills sheriff (originally shire-reeve) of Lanark and a revolt is unleashed. Perhaps many Scots were waiting for a leader to emerge, because the same year Wallace defeats the English at Stirling Bridge.
His luck changed when he was defeated at Falkirk in 1298. In 1305, he is betrayed and executed brutally, his head being mounted on London Bridge.
That is a very rough outline of a life so very important, of the life of William Wallace, a thorough Scot, exactly the William Wallace about whom this movie is. His father was killed by the English, his wife was murdered by the sheriff of Lanark (which is a reason why the sheriff ended up equally) - no mercy could have been awaited from a man that had never seen mercy on the side of his enemies.
Braveheart is a heroic epic told compactly and relatively objectively, noticing everything important that most probably happened in the life of William Wallace. After all, it doesn't have to be historically exact - it is a legend and even if it was "only" a legend, it would be a most impressive one.

Back in 1995 when I first saw this movie I was wowed, it was a cinematic epic and one which I thoroughly enjoyed.... a few years later when I met my future spouse I was subjected to this movie on a weekly basis and now I cannot bare to watch it.
Anyway back to the movie, if you have been living under a rock and haven't seen it here's the basic story Mel Gibson plays William Wallace a Scottish highlander who leads his people in a uprising against the English monarch.
Now just so you know this film however "based" on historical events is completely inaccurate, Wallace was in actual fact a Scottish Noble (his family was rich), Wallace never had a wife, and the French princess Mel gets jiggy with would've been around 8 years old at the time, the only real truth in the movie was that he was hung drawn and quartered and he lead an uprising...the rest is Hollywood bullsh*t.
I'm giving the film 4 stars because if you are unaware of the historical inaccuracies and you haven't seen it 100 times you will be entertained, its a good movie.
Ⅷ 《勇敢的心》英語影評,急
當蘇格蘭風笛的聲音奏響,鏡頭像戴在鳥的翅膀上一樣,幽雅地掠過藏青色的山巒,白霧從小河上升騰起再散開,鏡頭不斷地拉近,樹林間出現了人馬的影子,電影就開始了。一個男人的聲音在此時響起:「我將為你們講述威廉姆華萊士的故事,英國的歷史學家們會說我在說謊,但歷史是由處死英雄的人寫的……」在父兄的葬禮上,小Wallace在眾人的憐憫中沒有說話,一個人默默的感傷。更加年幼的Murron一直在關注著他,當眾人都離開的時候,小女孩掙脫了母親的手,從平靜的土地上摘下了一朵紫色的薊花送給小Wallace。當他接過花的時候,那是我在電影中唯一一次看見他的眼淚大滴大滴地流淌在眼眶之外。他的眼淚可以忍受看到被吊在房頂上扭轉著蒼白面容的屍體時恐懼,可以忍受失去至親時的莫大悲痛,卻承受不住一朵野花的關懷。說是宿命也好,他們此後的人生便因為這次的邂逅誰也逃不了對方的宿命。長大成人的他們在曾經的小村莊重逢,在教父的見證下秘密地完婚,在月色樹林中完成了人生中重要的成人禮,一切順理成章而無限平靜。正如Wallace所希望的那樣,他希望過著平靜的生活,成家、娶妻、生子。本來我以為他們的愛情會更加長久和轟烈一些的,沒想到卻因為Murron被英國的軍官割喉而死而讓他們的「在一起」戛然而止。
失去了愛人的Wallace再也找不到平靜的可能,心中註定屬於英雄的抗爭和對自由深深的信仰讓他成為了神話般的領袖。我看到的蘇格蘭的男人們是穿著裙子上戰場,光著屁股挑釁,光明正大地侮辱敵人的。為了所有的人而拋棄了自己的人就是英雄。成了英雄以後的Wallace用腦子打仗,用身體屠戮,捍衛自己除去愛人後最後的信仰。馬背上的人生盪氣回腸,刀光劍影中的鐵血柔情熱烈。
在金屬的鏗鳴和濺血的戰歌中,因為錯信,因為背叛,因為脆弱,戰場成了墳場,還穿著蘇格蘭裙的屍體互相壓著,插滿的刀劍,被騎兵的馬蹄碾碎的臉。婦女們在悲傷地尋找無數相似的屍體中屬於她們的丈夫、兄長、兒子、父親,無限悲涼殘酷。有人說,無數的生命被層層疊疊的沙土埋葬,直到沉陷到大地是最深處,一切的感情和生命一同消失。歷史的代價是慘重的,人類用血鑄造輝煌,用血鋪墊和平。
Wallace最後還是義無返顧地去奔赴用死亡換取的賭注,在最後等待死亡的過程中,他對愛著她的王妃說:「每個人都會死,但並不是每個人都真正的活過。」獨身一人的時候,在死亡前在獄中的最後一刻,他也會祈禱:「我很害怕,賜予我力量去面對死亡吧!」因為他也不知道他是否能在莫大的痛苦中將自己的信仰和尊嚴捍衛到最後。當英國的人民把他當作叛國罪人一樣唾棄,為他的即將死去而歡呼,當他看見刑場下兒童對著他的死而微笑的時候,我知道那樣的無知是一種莫大的傷害。當他飽受疼痛,在生命的最後,深深地吸滿最後一口氣,在眾人都以為他請求開恩的時候,他用一生的力量大喊了一聲:「freedom
」本來我以為只要我不說話,我就不會哭的。但是在那一刻,我竟不知不覺讓眼淚流了下來。十年前,也有很多人曾經為這樣的一幕哭過。這是一種深深的震撼。
Wallace終究是死了,曾經兩度失信的Bruce在陣前對著蘇格蘭人,深深地吸一口氣,喊道:「你們曾經和華萊士一起流血!」他抽出長劍來,「現在,請你們跟我一起流血吧!」
蘇格蘭高地人振奮了,他們發出了震天動地的叫喊聲:「Wallace——Wallace——」於是,他們打得如詩一般美麗,打得一點都不失蘇格蘭人的面子,為自己贏得了Wallace同樣信仰和追求的自由和勝利。
那把無數次在Wallace手中出現的劍被插在一大片綠地上,劍柄上紅色的綢帶一直飄揚到影片的最後,就像是勝利者的墓誌銘。
蘇格蘭風笛再次響徹的時候,我已經無法繼續平靜了。勇敢的心像英雄一樣的難得。
我相信,電影是活生生的藝術。但是生活是更加真實的,赤裸裸的電影。
