Deeply moving experience

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2013)

Went to see Rob Roy with my father and brother, seeing as we have Scottish heritage, and as we were leaving I remember looking at the Braveheart poster and agreeing we made the right choice. Braveheart, so we assumed, was just a kilt-wearing, sword-swinging star vehicle for Mel Gibson, who even directed it. We enjoyed Rob Roy but I haven't seen it since and have seen Braveheart multiple times.
Beautiful and innocent. Gritty and heart wrenching. Exhilarating and violent. Courageous and inspiring. There's a wide range of emotions elicited throughout this film, and evidently after it, judging by the voting displayed here on IMDb. A testament to the power of the film, the spirit of William Wallace and the effort of all involved, particularly Mel Gibson. Incredible film. Another perfect score by James Horner.
