Review of Braveheart

The film entitled Braveheart,which tells of the story of Sir William Wallace ,a Scotland’s hero in 13th century to protest against the cruel king of England, Edward I.

Although the reason is seemingly a romantic revernge for his fiancée who was killed by an English landlord.The struggle was so fierce ,bloody and magnificent that any spectator can not come to himself or herself after seeing a series of campaigns that were shown in the movie and we are most touched by the desire for freedom of Sir William Wallace on the last scene of his execution ,in which William’s sky blue eyes were shone as bright as the sky ,a metaphor for the freedom which is hopeless but the determination was never abandoned in pursuit for it.

However,one cannot stand the spiteful rebellion of the Scottish nobles and just imagine Wallace’s disbelief and shock when he got to know that the knight of Edward I,who is most

willing to kill him in the battlefield,is the one who is most likely to become the king of Scotland,the man who swore to stand alongside with Wallace from the majority of the Scotland’s aristocrats who suspected Wallace and kept looking down upon him.Wallace had presumed that he was his companion but the reality just showed the just op posite side of Wallce’s naïve dream and both the hero and the audience cannot bear this betrayal from the bottom of their heats.

But Wallace still chose to believe,to tolerate and to take an adventure which led to his death and the end of this poetic struggle while meantime ,setting in motion another more intensive campaigns by those who carried on Wallace’s dream to realize the freedom of Scotland.Wallace’s death is like the ringing of the bell in the darkness of midnight,announcing that dawn should be cast upon the ones who never halt to pursue freedom sooner or later.

The scene which showed Wallace’s calling for freedom,while the executor’s axe moving ,the clouds floating,the wicked king’s last breath and the judge’s disappointment out of expectation. “Every man dies, not every man really lives.”Wallce’s last words echoed in the midst of the air,despite the physical death and the passing of the decades of years.

The real meaning of braveheart lies on that not only we do

not dare to encounter the rivals and the unfair,but also the

courage to tolerate,to resist the temptation to give up in

despair ,to face the genuine aspect of ourselves .

Trust,belief,struggle,determination,betrayal and of

course ,the love epic ,are the images we can associate with

this marvelous film and we cannot urge our passion to extol

Wallace,our hatred for the wicked Edward I and those both

mentally and physically delicate Scotland’s nobles.Given the

fact that both these two nations are now sections of the United


The film reminds us of the love for one’s own motherland the

desire for freedom,which is the gifted nature since mankind

was born with and we shall never be scared of any

obstacles ,frustrations and sacrifices in our fight for

freedom ,the goal generations of all classes,eras and races

have been longing for and we shall never be in shortage of the

courage to gain freedom.
