Simply perfect

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2003)

Although my personal top-movie ranking is constantly changing, one movie turns up every now and then as the number one movie - the best one I've ever seen: Braveheart. This movie got everything - two good love stories (Wallace' killed wife and the princess/ queen), surprisingly funny battle scenes, a fantastic ending (hey, how often does the hero die in the end ... even if his cause wins later), good dialogs, lovable characters ...
And - even in this nearly-medieval setting the women are more than just something to fight for, they got weapons of their own (surprisingly, compared with other movies where women are only damsels-in-distress). The lines of Nicolette ("Englishmen don't know what a tongue is for.") or Princess Isabelle ("The king will be dead in a month and his son is a weakling. Who do you think is going to rule this kingdom?" or "You see? Death comes to us all. But before it comes to you, know this: your blood dies with you. A child who is not of your line grows in my belly. Your son will not sit long on the throne. I swear it.") are something worth to be remembered.
So, all in all this movie is simply perfect ...
