Braveheart was a movie that celebrated the essence of love, honor, and freedom, and the strength and courage of character that is needed to possess and cherish these eternal virtues. It was an inspiration of spirit that transcended time and allowed us to hear William Wallaces battle cry. I'm not sure if its on video, but the cinematography is amazing as I recall. Better that average soundtrack. I love bagpipe music, and James Horner is a fair composer.
Characters are cool.
The scottish accent is the coolest one. I felt Mel's was a wee bit shaky at times though. Wallace's lady loves. Sophie Marceau especially. And of course that friend of hers.
