- pipanni21. Mai 2026An amazing work of art. Some people complain about historic innacuracy, but for me a movie should be entertaining above all else, and Braveheart delivers on all fronts, and then some. Incredible casting, memorable dialogues, awesome action scenes, flawless direction and a riveting and focused story that keeps you glued to the screen all the time. The scene right before the finale is quite simply brilliant and should be taught at film schools everywhere. This movie is easily in my top 5 best of all time, and might even be number one, depending on my mood ;)
- Adam Abaza10. Februar 2026It's not just a historical film; it's a cinematic epic that blends human drama with heroic battles, romance with bloodshed, and reality with myth. Its power lies in its ability to stir deep emotions in the viewer, making the cause of freedom seem timeless and universal. Even more than a quarter of a century after its release, it retains its place as one of the greatest epic films in cinematic history.
- ርልዪረ26. Januar 2025🗡️Time for some people to lighten up. The number of complaints about lack of historical accuracy in this post are a bit overwhelming when one considers that it is a STORY. It's like a tv film "based on a true story" where the operative phrase is "BASED ON". Many contributors have criticised the timing of events in the film or some particularly bad error (like the senior Robert Bruce betraying Wallace), but it's all done in the name of telling an exciting story and it must be admitted that "Braveheart" IS an exciting story. When "Braveheart" was first released in cinemas, I went to see it and there was a guy PICKETING the cinema, handing out leaflets decrying the inaccuracies (especially the part played by Robert Bruce). The scenery is superb (even if it IS Ireland - cheaper than Scotland, apparently), the story has ingredients of history and romance (even if they're sometimes misplaced) and the battle scenes are pretty realistic (they couldn't be anything other than gory, considering the available weapons). Credit must also go to the actors, with a special mention for Patrick McGoohan who steals the show as the particularly nasty English king, Edward I. So what if an amount of poetic licence has been used? It's a story - get over it. For an accurate physical portrayal of William Wallace, Mel Gibson would be unsuited to the role. I suspect that most "Braveheart" viewers haven't been to the Wallace monument near Stirling, but it's highly recommended. A climb up the 246 steps of the spiral staircase of the tower affords a view over the landscape where Wallace is said to have watched the English troops assembling before the battle of Stirling Bridge. Incidentally, Stirling Bridge crossed the river Forth and was only wide enough for two horsemen to ride side-by-side - thus was the battle won - by a gradual slaughter of the English forces as they crossed the river. In the film there is no bridge, and the "Forth" is a small, dry ditch that is easily crossed by a force of cavalry dozens wide. The claymore said to have belonged to Wallace can be seen these days in an exhibition room at the base of the tower. This sword measures 1.63m (5' 4") long and weighs almost 3 kg. A two-handed sword like this would have been used by a man of about 6' 7" tall when the average man in 12th Century Scotland stood around 5 feet tall (source: BBC). Therefore, another example of poetic licence. If you accept that this was a film BASED ON a true story and not a historical documentary, then it has all of the ingredients of a good action drama. It's all about suspending disbelief for a few hours and enjoying a yarn. I suspect that it attracted few students of Scottish history - except those who were desperate to rubbish it. As entertainment, it gets top marks⚔️
- CravanThePugilist3. November 2025Absolutely legendary film. I didn't see this til I was in my 20s I don't think, & I just wasn't expecting it to actually live up to the hype. It did. Times ten. The movie version (I understand the historical accuracy is EXTREMELY dodgy with this film) of William Wallace is just such a likeable guy - him at the start, before there's war & revolution, just hanging out in the village - it surprised me, it warmed me. & then once there IS revolution - damn. Movie be wildin'.
