Breath-taking & awe-inspiring

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2005)

I was 12 or 13 when I first saw this movie, and it instantly became one of my favorites. Although I'm a girl, I wasn't moved by the love story alone. The battle scenes are believable and you understand Wallace's fight. To truly feel what the character feels is a gift, and Braveheart is definitely a giver. From beginning to end, it hooks you in and takes you on an emotional roller coaster of sadness, joy, anger, laughter and ultimately an understanding of what it really means to believe in something. It really is a movie that everyone can enjoy. There is drama, action/adventure, romance, comedy and absolutely breathtaking scenery. Mel Gibson did a brilliant job of both staring in- and directing. Braveheart is sure to be a favorite for years to come.
