If any of you have read my reviews on Braveheart (1995), I stated that it was a terrific movie. I still think so, but I just wanted to get out some words of other people that commented on the movie a long time ago, but no one actually reads them anymore because they don't know how to get to the older ones. You got down to the comments index, and it's highlighted. Click on it and it will have a history of the comments on Braveheart or any other movie. Then, I read a great review of two people. Please read on. One of them stated that in Scotland, beside the William Wallace statue, there is another statue of Mel Gibson and people are leaving flowers on it because he made the movie and made Wallace famous again, I think that's their point. I disagree with that because it's not hard making a movie when you have millions of dollars. Also, the other stated that Gibson, the director, was asked by a Scotsman why he didn't film the Battle of Stirling Bridge actually on the rebuilt bridge, Gibson said that the bridge would get in the way. The Scotsman said, "That's what the English found too." Why doesn't Gibson talk about Braveheart on any of his interviews and is, in my opinion, ashamed of it? I think that's one of the points. So to any Gibson fan, who consider him a great man, if you sit down with him, by yourselves, you'd find that he's nowhere near the stature or the hero that Sir William Wallace was.
