O.K., we need to separate Mel Gibson, the actor and director from the raving racist lunatic we have been subjected to in the news. In front of or behind a camera the man is a genius.
Now to Braveheart; without question, the artist Gibson has created a great historically based biography of William Wallace, who in the 13th century led an army against the British against great odds and triumphed on several occasions. Wallace's bravery in battle is legendary and Gibson is perfect in the role. His rise and fall after many brutal and violent encounters, is breathtaking. Braveheart is a true epic in the best sense of the word. The three hours move very quickly and the ending is not easy to watch but the life of William Wallace was certainly worthwhile.
