I apologize in advance for coming across as an even bigger pedantic dick than usual, but I just cannot step over this film’s fabricated history lesson. I know, I know, historical accuracy is always a tricky thing and most films present a romanticised version of events. But this film portrays ‘recent’ history from a rather well documented time period. And it isn’t so much the small things that were changed for cinematic convenience that bother me, it’s the big things. So it’s not the fact that the Scots didn’t wear kilts in those days, nor did they paint their faces. There are many of those things in it, changed for the audience’s understanding. Search the internet and you’ll find lists…

mel gibson is like that history teacher who’s pretty terrible at his job, but boy is he a lot of fun to listen to.

Mel’s Birth of a Nation with all his trademark flair: genocidal hatred of the British, brutal violence and the Christ-like torture and suffering of the protagonist. Not a “good” movie in the sense that I take it particularly seriously, but a “great” movie in terms of how much I enjoy watching it.

Koliko dobar toliko i lep i emotivan film. Pocetak reziserske karijere Mel Gibsona koji kasnije postaje sve veci i veci kralj.

“Every man dies, not every man really lives.” Such a powerful and emotional film. William Wallace’s fight for freedom was incredibly moving, especially seeing how much he was willing to sacrifice for what he believed in. The battle scenes were intense, the cinematography was beautiful, and the soundtrack made every emotional moment hit even harder.

D’accord Mel Gibson s’asseoit littéralement sur l’histoire. Mais il le fait avec un tel talent qu’on ne peut lui en tenir rigueur. La mise en scène somptueuse (la qualité des plans, notamment les plans rapprochés lors des batailles et les panoramas des paysages Écossais, le nombre impressionnant de figurants, la qualité des décors), les jeux des acteurs tous plus excellents les uns que les autres (notamment Gibson, intense en combattant de la liberté, et Patrick McGoohan, qui incarne à merveille…

J’ai adoré Braveheart. Pour moi, si on passe outre les faits historiques que le film ne respecte clairement pas du tout, c’est un film incroyable. Il nous fait passer par énormément d’émotions : la haine, la joie, l’amour, la tristesse et surtout la bravoure. Et en plus, pendant tout le film, on ne sait jamais vraiment qui va trahir qui ou qui va se rallier à qui. Ça nous fait douter et ça nous tient vraiment dans le film jusqu’au…

What a movie! Entertaining, tragic and epic. Of course it’s not accurate but who cares, it’s just a very good movie.

Mel Gibson directed a whole film just to show that he could get with two different women even if he didn’t wash his hair

Ça fait 2ans que mon père me bassine avec ce film et je sais pas pourquoi dans ma tête c’était dans le style lady oscar, ce qui m’a pas trop donné envie. Au final, c’est vraiment tout pile le genre que j’aime.

In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland – starving and outnumbered – charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom. This is one of the most emotionally powerful movies of ALL TIME. The historic setting, the story of love, backstabbing, pride, unwavering sense of freedom is all so BEAUTIFUL. Mel Gibson delivers a MASTERCLASS as William Wallace. The movie has so many incredible scenes, incredible lines, and…

[WATCHING EVERY OSCAR BEST PICTURE IN A YEAR 68 OUT OF 98] Some royal dudes in England, 1314, in which Christianity has been a thing for hundreds of years: ‘Hey you know that guy up north who’s fighting for the freedom of his people?’ ‘Yeah?’ ‘Let’s martyr him.’ ‘Oh yeah? You think that will go well for us?’ ‘I think that will go really well’ ‘Didn’t something like this happen before?’ ‘No I don’t think so’ ‘I can’t think of…

Todo inició por «amor»??, pues sí, xd. Buena representación de la crueldad que se experimentaba por esos tiempos mientras se luchaba por el control de las tierras y por someter al más indefenso. Mel Gibson trasmite verdadero coraje y convicción con su actuación, además se hizo a la posi que estaba casada con el que «no sabía para que equipo jugaba» (de todos modos rompió la promesa que le hizo al inicio a su mujer)… aún no me creo que…

Mythic in a way that transcends historical inaccuracies and a problematic Mel Gibson. (My favorite quote about the degree of historical inaccuracy in the movie comes from Sharon L. Krossa on the improper and anachronistic use of kilts: “This is like a film about Colonial America showing the colonial men wearing 20th century business suits, but with the jackets worn back-to-front instead of the right way around.”

watched this with my parents, who liked it (nostalgia?). an alright movie to watch if you’re watching it with people who like it, so that you can pick up on their positive vibes and convince yourself you’re having a good time. don’t think i’ll be rewatching this of my own free will though. the irish guy was pretty great though i’ll give the movie that.

William Wallace really looked at England and decided he had enough free time to start a war. Mel Gibson spent three hours screaming “FREEDOM” and somehow made me feel like I needed to run through a field afterwards. “They may take our lives…” Sir, I think you’ve made your point. To be honest, Freedom has never sounded so emotionally exhausting.

i guess the native americans didnt believe in freedom enough the battle of stirling bridge looking very dry in this ___________________________________________________________ “braveheart” is less interested in william wallace as a historical figure than in the kind of mythological hero that rebels against insurmountable odds. gibson turns a complicated medieval rebellion into a revenge story about freedom, stripping away historical nuance while replacing it with enormous battles and an iconic soundtrack. the historical inaccuracies are so extensive that it must be…

You can feel the three-hour runtime, but it is nonetheless an impressive and worthwhile film. The first half, depicting England’s oppression of Scotland, didn’t do much for me, but I was struck by the sheer scale of the second half. The battle scenes are particularly spectacular. The moment when the men let out their war cries sent shivers through me. There are quite a few gruesome images, but they effectively convey the brutality of the battles and greatly amplify the film’s overall sense of power and intensity.
- Synopsis
- Enraged at the slaughter of Murron, his new bride and childhood love, Scottish warrior William Wallace slays a platoon of the local English lord's soldiers. This leads the village to revolt and, eventually, the entire country to rise up against English rule.
