Braveheart was filmed on location in Ireland and Scotland, and at the Ardmore Film Studios. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun Times states that this film is, "An action epic with the spirit of the Hollywood swordplay classics and the grungy ferocity of The Road Warrior." (www.rottontomatoes.com) James Caryn of the New York Times explains this film as, "One of the most spectacular entertainments in years." (www.rottontomatoes.com) Nominated for several Academy Awards, this 1995 epic film is based on the life of the legendary thirteenth century Scottish hero William Wallace. Mel Gibson stars and directs this Academy Award winning film. Braveheart captures the viewer's attention with its brutal battles scenes, love story, and the motivation to fight for their freedom.William Wallace (Mel Gibson) returns to his homeland following the death of an heirless king, finds himself in the middle of political landscape turmoil. Edward the Longshanks, King of England played by Patrick McGoohan, has captured the throne of Scotland and threatens the freedom of all Scottish people with tyrannical policies implied by the English. William at the time is content with living a simple life trying to build his home and raise a family. Thi
During the first battle scene at Sterling, the Scottish show how crazy they really are by lifting up their kilts, turning around, and mooning the English troops. This love story puts the viewer threw the joy and happiness of being in love and the pain, suffering, and vengeance one feels of losing a loved one. The conflict comes when the nobles of Scotland fight for the wrong reasons such as land and riches, and Wallace fights for the freedom of his people, and earns his respect with words and leadership. William is determined to court Murron, so they have several secret rendezvous telling this fabulous love tale which in the end has a tragic ending. One man, a common man motivates his countrymen to fight for their freedom with inspiring words as, "And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom. The brutal decapitations, maimings, and other gruesome details make one feel right in action and in the world of William Wallace. Braveheart is a bloody motion picture with brutal violence which is not distasteful. William comes to her rescue by attacking the English soldiers, but their escape was foiled as Murron is captured.

Love is the motivation that Wallace uses for his strength and determination to defeat the English army. There are also few moments in the film were Gibson shows statements against war by showing women and children over the dead of their love ones scattered all over the battle field. The Scottish was perceived as crazy peasants with blue paint on their faces to show their insanity.
