The best movie of all-time

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2016)

Braveheart is truly the greatest movie of all-time. It is a three hour masterpiece that makes the perfect story of a fight for freedom. I saw this movie for the first time about three years ago. I loved it then, but I love it even more now. Obviously the excitement of not knowing what was going to happen was gone, but I have a great desire for real-life freedom now, so it made me really connect with William Wallace and his cause.
Wallace was just a normal guy who didn't have the motivation to defy tyranny. He knew his freedom was being limited by the government of England, but it wasn't until it happened to him personally that it empowered him to do something about it. The speech he makes on the battlefield before the first battle gave me the chills because Wallace says that freedom is more important than life itself. That is a huge statement to me. He would rather have his life taken before he ever lost his freedom. This movie is the epitome of how important freedom is and the passion Wallace had to give Scotland its freedom from England's overbearing government is realistic and exemplary for all of history. I thank Mel Gibson and everyone else who helped make this movie. It is the most inspirational, courageous, and powerful movie I have ever seen.
