Best Film Ever

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2012)

Without a doubt the best story and incredible acting I have ever seen on film. Truly a remarkable job on a grand scale that told a story that all of us can relate to. I have seen this movie over 20 times and its easily the best movie I have ever seen. The acting is just superb by not only Mel Gibson, but also by his Scottish wife (Murron) who was murdered, LongShanks the pagan, the beautiful French queen (Isabelle), as well as William's sidekicks (Irish, Hamish)) throughout the movie. Not only do we get a feel for life under British colonial rule we see the relationships developed through this fight for freedom and equality. The first time I saw this movie was in 1999 and it just blew me away. The scene where William meets Isabelle in her tent for the last time is unforgettable. This picture gets my vote for best ever. Wish Hollywood would make more movies like this.
