Mel Gibson directed in and stared in this film, which let him play the role of William Wallace in the manner he wished. A combination of all these tools make us feel the sympathy we do towards the main character William Wallace. He soon gives up, and decides to return to the town he’d last seen her. Braveheart is a epic story, and should be viewed by everyone at least once. Finding her slain body tied up to the post, he falls to his knees, speechless, and we see the utter horror in his eyes, as Wallace realizes he has nothing else to live for.

In the scene previously discussed, we also realize once she’s dead, Wallace will have to live in this beautiful country; that which he wished and anticipated sharing with her, alone.
