a story about a man s quest and struggle for Independence of his nation. After the murder of his wife by the governor appointed by the tyrant Edward the long shanks , William Wallace chose the path of armed revolt against the occupying British crown , the cause for which his father and big brother died for. the most impressive scene was when his Scottish country fellow man refused to fight the huge numbers of English troops then Wallace comes and gives an emphatic speech. He said." fight and u die, don't fight and u ll live, only for a while , from this day till the time u re dying in ur beds u ll be praying just for one chance, one chance, to come here and tell all of them in true words and courage ,that they may take our lives, but they may never take ",OUR FREEDOM,". Thar was a moral booster of a whole nation. The another one was before his execution Wallace prays to god to give him courage strength and valor , coz he d to go a painful and agonizing experience before death, as he refused to rectify the rule of long shanks over Scotland ,and his demise had to be in a catastrophic manner. After being over brutalized before the execution, he was just asked to say mercy and mercy will be given , what Wallace replied," Freedom...,". in the end when Scott forces were again facing British forces under the command of infamous Robert Bruce , they were again asked to submit to the commands of king Edward. Than Robert Bruce waves his sword and the close friend of Wallace of Wallace throws his sword into the air , a reminder that Wallace story , his legacy and passion never ends at his death. A message is given in this movie. Freedom never comes in for free, it is achieved by sacrifice and continues struggle and dedication. Lives are lost and homes are shattered. The new generations should make sure that their ancestors didn't die for nothing and they will never take it for granted. Excellent movie and portrayal of will Wallace by Mel Gibson.
