Best epic movie of all times!

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2016)

I recently review this movie another time... for the umpteenth time. And, 21 years later, it's still the best epic movie I've ever seen! Being an epic movies fan, Braveheart gives me everything I expect to see in a film of that genre: history, drama, adventure, action, great plot and superb scenarios. Despite being filmed in 1995, it's a spectacular super production, through the particular vision of Mel Gibson, only worried to tell a grand epic in classic style and transmitting with great intensity the anger and pride of a man (William Wallace) who always refused to live under any enslaving tie and gave all for the independence of his homeland. The script is simple but extremely effective, the rhythm does not decline at any time, combining with great assertiveness the epic and massive battles (at the time really innovative by the realism given to the actions) with more intimate moments. I also would like to highlight the sensational work of Mel Gibson (both acting and directing), the good performances of Patrick McGoohan and Angus McFadyen, and the presence of the beautiful Catherine McCormack and Sophie Marceau, in a film that will endure forever as one of the best.
