An excellent history lesson

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2014)

This is a great story about a man who will become a legend, a story of a rebel against a great force, a brave heart.
Yeah, it all sounds too perfect. It even won 5 Oscars. The combination of Mel Gibson, Scotland and the authentic places and persons makes this one of my favorite 3 hour entertainment.
You see in the 20th and the 21st century a lot of countries face the same problem. If you want to make a country, take all the politicians and make them watch this movie. I mean - that happened a thousand years ago and it still loops in the generations to come... the same curse.
Anyways Mel knows that he has done a masterpiece, a true blockbuster, a piece of artwork. Costumes, music, acting it is all too authentic.
This movie receives my personal recommendation.
