Spoilers
After the death of his father, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) goes to learn the skills of a warrior. He returns and falls in love whith childhood friend Merrin. The two wed secretly so as to avoid the law that grants all English lords of the area sexual prevliges over all brides on their wedding nights. All the same Merrin is captured and convicted. The lord cuts her throat. Wallace does the same and leads the revolt against Brittish rule in Scotland. He is eventually captured, convicted and "purified" dis-embowled. Very nasty.
Everything is excellent in this film. Romance, war, death, hate, tradgedy are all expresed. Truly masterful. And what is even more amazing is that the film isn't fueled by the violence and action in it unlike other films such as GLADIATOR.
I give BRAVEHEART 8/10 BRAVEHEART is rated R for strong, intense medievil warfare, brief sexuality and language
