Um þessa kvikmynd

In the late 13th century, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) returns to Scotland after living away from his homeland for many years. The king of Scotland has died without an heir and the king of England, a ruthless pagan known as Edward the Longshanks, has seized the throne. Wallace becomes the leader of a ramshackle yet courageous army determined to vanquish the greater English forces. Wallace's courage and passion unite his people in BRAVEHEART. Mel Gibson directs, produces and stars in a film combining action, intrigue and romance to tell the story of the legendary Scottish knight, Sir William Wallace, and the love that inspired him to fight for his country's freedom.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Good movie, let down by several issues. The first is that although it's great to see some nice coats of plate armor, it may as well be made out of paper for all the good it does. Second, it's largely based on fiction, which isn't bad in it's self (a lot isn't known about him outside his military command), but is a dangerous thing when mixed with history and depicted as fact, especially when you completely change the details of his biggest victory against the British. Finally, it's disrespectful to portray historical characters as Hollywood "bad guys", just to make the "good guy" seem like he had no faults and is fighting evil. As long as it's accepted as fiction, it's a great movie classic, which I regret putting off watching for so long.

I am a supporter for Scottish Independence, but this film was terrible in my opinion. Battle of Stirling was at a bridge not a field. Total lack of accuracy. 🙄

This has been one of my best movies..still and eager to watch this movie again...credibility to all those that has contributed to make this movie so wonderful...
