Every movie is released, not every movie is a hit...

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2010)

I've just seen Braveheart on TV, and it is simply a great movie. Mel Gibson gives a great performance. I usually measure the acting of a movie by how the actions of the characters and why they do certain things affect me, how they make me feel , and with this film, I can see through William, I can feel his pain, his bravery, you understand him, you understand why people follow him. And when he shouts "Freedom!", maybe I overreacted but I seriously got goose bumps So kudos for Gibson. Besides it has a great villain. Longshanks, yeah, I ended up hating that guy. Another good thing is the story, because it has little bit of all: romance, passion, violence, patriotism, it deserves its R rating, but its is justifiable, I think that the film would have been altered in a bad way without those scenes of graphic violence. The story is well-told, the first time I saw this movie was also in TV and I didn't want to get up, every minute is interesting Good cinematography, good costume. A really great movie. Deserved its Oscar
