Sweeping and Epic!

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2012)

"Braveheart" is just awe-inspiring and spectacular and leaves the viewer with a lot to think about. There is no specific good guy or bad guy in this story. Each character is well-developed and always has something good about them. Just as they have some problems, as well.
The story is about William Wallace, a man who had a rough childhood, and has come back to his village in Scotland to make a farm. He doesn't want anything to do with the war that the king of England does. When he returns, he falls in love with a woman, and they get married, hoping to settle down together. But after a tragedy, William goes mad and creates one of the biggest revolutions Scotland has ever seen.
Mel Gibson both directed and starred in this movie, and he proves that he is good both on and off-screen. The character of William Wallace is so dimensional, and is not as easy to like as characters in other films. He does some very unmoral things throughout the film, such as sleeping with another woman even though he claims to be in love with his late wife.
A lot of people complain about the fact that the movie doesn't follow the true story. I can't say anything about that, as I don't know the true history. All I know is that this movie is done extremely well, and is very enjoyable.
In all, I recommend this movie to anyone who won't compare this to the real story, and who doesn't mind violence, because there's a lot of it.
