what a great movie

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 1999)

If there was such a thing as a perfect film, this would be it. This 1995 Academy Award Winning film had everything any film lover could ask for: action, adventure, drama, romance........even a little speck of comedy here and there. Mel Gibson didn't an excellent job of directing this movie and playing the hero, William Wallace. This extremely violent tale tells the story of the wars between the English and the Scottish. After one Scottish man (guess who? Yes, Mr. Wallace) has had enough and decides to fight back, his wife is murdered. Seeking revenge, he starts an army to fight against their enemies and lead a nation. I could not praise this movie enough. I admit that I like violence, and this had that. It was a very graphic movie that showed beheadings and all sorts of barbaric violence. You fell in love with all of the characters, especially William Wallace. I have never seen a better movie that tells the tale of such a heroic person like William Wallace. In the scene where he is riding back and forth on his horse, dressed in blue paint, talking to all of the Scottish people ready to leave, announcing that he is William Wallace.........you can't help but be proud of him. Go see this movie. My grade: A
