Blood,Gore,Passion,Politics and Mel.What more could you want

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2000)

The words "Blown away" can not adequately describe my feelings upon my first viewing of Braveheart.Being a fan of long epic adventures,I was immediately drawn to the almost mystical story of a lowly Scottish clansmen who rose to glory to defy a tyrranical English King and lead a rebellion all in the name of love.Mel Gibson deserves great credit for bringing this story to screen in such an emotional and unbiased historical way.(unlike The Patriot).Allthough the English are rightfully portrayed as cruel and without honor,the Scots are equally shown in a bad light for their political scheming.BRAVO!
