An epic about heroism and the value of freedom

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 1999)

When I first saw Braveheart, I was awestruck by its sheer visual power. Never has the desire for freedom been portrayed in such a splendid manner.
When I traveled to Scotland a year later, I could feel this desire still burning in the proud souls of the scottish people. And even though the movie is historically flawed, it still captures the spirit of what the life of William Wallace was all about.
Some of the scenes I could watch over and over again. It still makes me shiver to see how a man sacrifices himself for the freedom of his people. This is true heroism...
