Mel Gibson in "Braveheart" not only received the deserved appreciation towards his direction (that he didn't received in "The Man Without Face") but also as an actor and managed to make one of the most beautiful and majestic epics ever made! "Braveheart" as I mentioned before is a majestic epic in so many details to be appointed, but all have one similarity, they were all made by the hands of Mel Gibson in a magnificent way.
The story is based on the great Scottish hero William Wallace (Mel Gibson), which after the death of his father and brother as a child and later the dead of love of his life Murron (Catherine McCormack), all by the hands of the British that at the time nurtured a cruel power in Scottish lands, at least until the great revolution that Wallace began not only in the name of revenge but for the beloved freedom for all the Scottish people.
Randall Wallace (script) manages to maintain the film in a good fit to historical characters and events that really existed. But Gibson's hands were everywhere, the film not only serves as a biography of the character and the human hero that Wallace was but thanks to the influence of Gibson the film manages to bring out a powerful message of freedom and what it means to be free. We see it from several good dialogs between the characters throughout the film and also the powerful speech that Wallace gives before the battle of "Stirling" (that wasn't actually very historically accurate but was Awesome as hell).
Not only in the script that Gibson put his hands and gave a beautiful message of freedom but also its magnificent direction that leaves all simply superb. His camera movements that show beautiful Scottish landscapes and scenes filmed beautifully leaving the film purely epic.
Not only landscapes and scenes that its direction stands out but mainly in the excellent battle scenes. Mel Gibson can leave all the battle scenes made with a great realistic feel without overrating it, by that I mean that when the battle starts and the armies collide we really feel that we are watching true humans smashing each other.
"Braveheart" not only manages to be the masterpiece of Mel Gibson in both direction and acting (PERFECT), but happens to be one of the most beautiful epics ever made. With a superb realistic feel without exaggeration and a beautiful message of freedom through a good writing and with a beautiful cast with terrific characters and a memorable soundtrack, "Braveheart" is far from perfect, but it is a magnificent epic to be remembered.
