Brave Heart, the winner of Oscar Prize, is about the war between England and Scotland. This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. The acting is absolutely superbright, This movie is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat for the entire three hours.
Based on the history, this movie reveals the reality of that age. People in Scotland had been ruled by English nobles for so long time. When the king of England wanted to improve the loyalty of his underlings and allowed them to rule Scotland in a crueler way, such as fucking the bride in Scotland, people could not stand any more. They arouse the fight against England.
But in the movie, the most important thing is not fighting. It is the pursuit of freedom that attract me most. In the age mentioned in the movie, England ruled Scotland in a cruel way. People in Scotland rebelled.
Wallace, leader of the rebellion, was a real hero. He used to want to live an ordinary life, no fight, no blood and only love and peace. But the fact was, his wife was killed by the rulers from England. He flied into a rage and decoded himself to the rebellion against his enemy. He fought bravely with his soldiers, for neither wealth nor power. What they want the most is that they could live a free life.
After long-time fighting, the rebellion was beaten down and Wallace was arrested. The ruler gave him a last chance to confess his mistake and promised that he can free if he did so, he might not be sentenced.
But what's Wallace's choice. At the last of his life, he abandoned the chance to survive and cried out, 'freedom'. This was the word that all people in Scotland wanted to say.
It is sarcastic that the English princess fell in love with Wallace and she got pregnant at the end of movie. She begged to her father in law, the king of England, to absolve Wallace but he was rejected. When the king was dying, she told him the truth that Wallace was the father of her baby who would become the king of England.
This movie is my favorite. It tells me that there is something named freedom which is more important than life . William Wallace, a real hero who will be memorized.
