One of the best historical films ever

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2000)

Braveheart, which tells us about the true story of Scottish rebel William Wallace, is a stunning historical film. Mel Gibson shows a great talent (it his only his second film as a director). The battle scenes are wonderfully filmed, and the characters seem very real. The film also makes us believe the plot, not only thanks to the great storytelling, but also thanks to the realistic (and sometimes graphic) depiction of those times. Added to all that, the acting is perfect, even from newcomers such as Brendan Gleeson or Angus McFayden. All these qualities make it one of my favourite films ever.
