loved it

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2001)

what makes this movie very special is not the brutality or the special effects that mark it. on the contrary, it's the great display of emotions and sentiments that the actors and actresses show. the direction is even better than the acting because it was capable of presenting a rather unpleasant story within a convincing and flexible atmosphere. the movie deserved more than 2 academy awards... and it's-in my opinion- all due to Gibson's magnificent talent. the stroy talks about Wallace who was a leader with a strong will, passion, strength and brutality that kept growing within the movie. the events that take us in the 13th century where England was the domineering power which controlled Europe. and Wallace was the Scottish leader that wanted to end England's jurisdiction in Scotland. he was a free man that fought for a free country. he lived free and even died free.
