The Best Movie I've Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 1998)

This movie was really, really incredible. I have no idea if the story of William Wallace is truthful, but it makes a helluva good movie. The cinematography is wonderful... I loved the slow motion scenes (It's nothing like John Woo's "slow-mo at weird times" scenes). There are a few scenes that will actually make you want to weep, and I'm really not that kind of guy. The scene where the young girl gives William a thistle is very, very moving. Only one piece of dialogue I didn't like... the "every man lives" bit is an old cliche. Other than that, the movie was incredible. I gave it a rare score... a perfect 10.
