Book Reviews of Braveheart
Book Review: Makes me wish I was Scottish
Summary: 5 Stars
If you had walked up to me 10 years ago and asked me what I thought aout the film Braveheart, I would have simply replied "I hate it," and then I'd run away from you as far as possible. Why so? Well, you'd have to thank my daddy for that. He had watched it so much when I was a kid, until I myself was yelling "Freedom" to be rid of that blue faced, butt-showing warrior. I was young then, and did'nt understand Braveheart's meaning. In fact, I would still be clueless if it weren't for viewing it clearly for the first time in my AFL (Alternative Forms of Lit) class.
Let's just say I was. . . .blown away. And very ashamed of myself for hating such an enjoyable story.
Braveheart is similar to most films about epic early century wars, most of them containing a fearless, romantic heo. In this case it's our Scottish lad William Wallace. For me, he stood out from the rest of epic heros. I loved the fact that we wasen't raised wanting to be a part of a great war. He wanted peace between Scotland and England. Of course, It did'nt work out that way. The english guards took his wife's life and was going for taking his country's freedom. Wallace had no choice but to fight back. Even in the end, when his fate took a horrible turn towards death, he suceeded in touching every one of his followers' heart.
Not only that, the cinematography was awesome!!! The random scenes that panned Scotland's mountains, the gory (but wonderful) battle scenes, and even the close-up of Wallace's face as he yelled that well known line at his death sentence: they were just some of the parts that makes Braveheart unbelievable. The movie in a whole was inhanced by music and lighting that can actually let you feel the mood that every character is feeling in each scene. Need I say more?
To those who dis Braveheart: What does it matter that it's historically incorrect? If you'd take your heads out of your "must be accurate" butts, you can learn some other morally right things from this film. Like standing up for what you believe in and fighting for what's right!!!
I'm going to go apologize to my dad now for never believing in his great taste in movies.
Peace-Story.
