Description:
Mel Gibson directs and stars in this Academy Award-winning epic based on the life of legendary thirteenth century Scottish hero William Wallace. Returning to his homeland following the death of an heirless king, Wallace (Mel Gibson) finds the political landscape precarious. Edward the Longshanks, King of England (Patrick McGoohan), has captured Scotland's throne and threatens the freedom of all Scottish people, as tyrannical policies instituted by the English plague the Scots. Initially, Wallace is content to stand by the wayside, yearning for the simple life of building a home and raising a family. However, when the woman he loves (Catherine McCormack) suffers a cruel fate at the hands of English soldiers, Wallace takes a stand against the new rule. With his fierce patriotism and determination, he gathers an amateur but passionately rebellious army. Although this makeshift force may be outnumbered by the English troops, their desperation and love for their land surpass any military maneuvers, as evidenced in the film's breathtaking battle sequences.

Amazon.com essential video:
Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning 1995 Braveheart is an impassioned epic about William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish leader of a popular revolt against England's tyrannical Edward I (Patrick McGoohan). Gibson cannily plays Wallace as a man trying to stay out of history's way until events force his hand, an attribute that instantly resonates with several of the actor's best-known roles, especially Mad Max. The subsequent camaraderie and courage Wallace shares in the field with fellow warriors is pure enough and inspiring enough to bring envy to a viewer, and even as things go wrong for Wallace in the second half, the film does not easily cave in to a somber tone. One of the most impressive elements is the originality with which Gibson films battle scenes, featuring hundreds of extras wielding medieval weapons. After Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky, Orson Welles's Chimes at Midnight, and even Kenneth Branagh's Henry V, you might think there is little new that could be done in creating scenes of ancient combat; yet Gibson does it. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great entertainment
Notwithstanding historical inaccuracies (and there are many), this was great entertainment. I usually watch a DVD at home over the course of 2-3 nights, but I could not turn this one off, and watched the whole thing (nearly 3 hours) in one sitting. Such a great story and wonderful acting, scenery, etc.

Critique of Braveheart
Mel Gibson's Braveheart is an epic film that brings to life the struggle of the thirteenth century Scotts. The people of Scotland rallied behind a brave man, William Wallace (Mel Gibson), to try and gain their freedom from the English. The film is filled with combat, strong will, love, and even a little humor. Not only is the story line unforgettable but also the cinematography and details of the movie are impeccable. The acting and scripting are masterful. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Historically inaccurate, but I don't care . . .
If I were to study about William Wallace, I wouldn't do it with Mel Gibson's classic "Braveheart"; I would go to the library to do it. The film is filled with historical inaccuracies, like Stirling Bridge and the Battle at York. But that's because this is based on the LEGEND of Wallace, and not history.

But anyway, this is my second favorite film from director Mel Gibson, only behind the more recent Apocalypto. It's in the grand-scale epic tradition: it's more than three hours long, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
I have to say Braveheart is a most own for any man. If you dont own this you should!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Braveheart - historical fiction for the future
Braveheart, despite some historical inaccuracies, is a high quality movie with much more than simple entertainment value. It belongs in everyone's library, not only because it should be considered a cimematic classic, but because it imparts important cultural, political, and western sociological tenets which must not be forgotten by our modern 'take it for granted' culture. The lessons of history must not be forgotten lest we find ourselves doomed to repeat them. Mel Gibson's Braveheart is an excellent ... Read More
