Braveheart
As I am watching this movie for the first time, I am to purely discover that it is a
love film. When I watching this movie for the second time, I think it is a very good a
historical movie. But now, I watching this movie again very hard. I think it is a good
inspiring movie.
'Braveheart' is the story of one of Scotland's greatest national heroes Sir William
Wallace. leader of the Scottish resistance forces during the first years of the long,
ultimately successful struggle to free Scotland from English rule.
Film probably contents:first, the father of the Wallace died, then he living and
study with his uncle. And finally he returned to homeland again, he wants to the life
that is ordinary. He fall in love with a girl, and the girl also love him. Because of the
king and those nobility’s power, they only can clandestine matrimony. However the
bad luck always follow him. The nobility frame up Wallace and kill his wife.
Afterwards, Wallace started a series of revenge activity. And behind, Wallace
fight for the freedom. this is no doubt, Wallace has public appeal. first a few battle,
Wallace obtain victory with his cleverness. But in the process, because of someone
betrayal he, he failed in a very important battle, it is so badly for Wallace. But he
didn’t give up. He starts killing some important persons and makes the nobilities of
whole country are dismays very much. Finally, the nobilities establish trap for Wallace,
he knowing it is probably a trap but he also decide to trying. Unfortunately, Wallace
was grasped, the nation judges his treason felony, if he admits his criminal charges, he
can be free form molestation. Of course, Wallace didn’t admit. He insists his own
position, he was not free form molestation, and when he will soon died. The judge
asks him again. He just said two words – free.
After watching this movie, my heart can’t help floating up and down with the
extremely tragic destiny and intense emotion of the valiant him – William Wallace.
Brave Heart is an outstanding epic movie in which lots of various complex emotions,
including the permanent pursuit of freedom and the brutal oppression, the persistent
patriotism and the despicable surrender to power and status, the gallant self-sacrifice
and the mean act of betrayal, the most unforgettable and moving love and the most
irreconcilable hatred and all the severe conflicts between them are displayed
incisively, thoroughly and excellently.
It is the innocent and romantic memory of first love full of fragrance of purple
thistle that invokes William Wallace in returning homeland. The purple thistle that
Murron gives William Wallace at his father’s burial symbolizes the immortal love.
Under the horrible shade of cruel oppression of England they struggle for their perfect
love courageously. Unfortunately, Murron is seized and killed ruthlessly by an
English official so that William Wallace’s heart is stricken by great grief and pain. The
moment he kills the wicked official to take his revenge he realizes the essential
responsibility placed on his shoulders. He changes his individual anguish into
enormous power of national spirit so as to devote himself to the innumerable and
arduous combats for the great freedom of Scotland.
During war, maybe the most fatal threat is not the formidable weapons but the
confused and evil hearts. The Scottish aristocrats yield to England and betray William
Wallace twice. It is in the second time William Wallace is arrested and killed
inhumanly.
The most touching and affecting scene is that at the last moment of his life,
enduring inconceivable torture, William Wallace exhausts himself to shout out:
Freedom! to the boundless sky and the people. At the gate of paradise, his beloved
wife---Murron is waiting for his coming. Through the dignified ablution of blood, all
the burden and hardship are released from his respectable and noble soul. Supported
and encouraged by William Wallace¡¯s eternal spirit, at the great expense of countless
precious lives, Scotland wins her freedom. When William Wallace’s strong voice
Freedom! echoes in my mind, the crying sky of Scotland emerges in my eyes. Brave
Heart is really a wonderful movie that can hit people’s hearts.
Willian Wallace, this is no doubt, he is a hero of the people, but when he be
escorted in the execution yard. The person of having no knowledge hurtle he throws
an egg and vegetable. Many people think he is a invader. But they don’t know, the
soldier of they country’s is so cruel, invade and capture those Scotches who originally
lives very happy. After they invaded, Scotch have no freedom, and became the slave
of them countrys. The Scotch don’t have freedom, and if they get married. Their
wives will be seized or be killed! Wallace’s wife is killed like this by the invader of
England. As a ardent youth, Wallace can’t standing humiliation like this. For the sake
of the freedom, for the sake of the country, Wallace and some person who are
oppressed resist invader, when The victory is in sight, someone bythe lust of money to
betray him, the Lord of the country also betrayed him and made he and other warrior
of the Scotland are in a tight piace. Finally, Wallace and other warrior of the Scotland
failed. But I think it is not failed, because Wallace doesn’t give up, he still struggle for
the sake of his own dream and the people’s freedom.
When he know the king of the Scotch betray him, he was so grieved, but he
didn’t kill him. Why? I dare not commentary. But I can feel his intelligence,his
aspiration and his tolerance.
This movie is my favorite.It really shaken me! I can experience the power of
faith, it can truly bring you strong. Wallace is so powerful and firm that nothing could
destroy him, because he owns a brave heart for freedom! It tells me that there is
something named freedom which is more important than life.I think Braveheart is a
heart with a firm belief.
We will meet a lot of difficulties in the life, just like Wallace, but we must keep
on living, why not cherish everyday? Don’t fear a difficulty and whatever the
consequences are, our happiness is to belong to ourselves, so we should fight for
happiness by ourselves.
In fact, Video at the beginning gives me a shock, the general in China's film,
there will be a better outcome, such as men and woman, after suffering through a
difficult final together, but at the beginning of the Brave Heart and is not the case,
ince then got out of hand, nobles in order to consolidate their rights, men and masters
to fight for our freedom and have launched a struggle against the aristocracy, many of
them there are many exciting, clapped their hands in applause of the scenes, the last
man was a betrayal by masters nobles were captured and they confessed to his crimes,
and to recognize the emperor succumbed to the foot, he avoided the death penalty,
otherwise we must accept the cruel criminal law and, needless to say, and ownership
certainly will not agree, resulting in the execution when there are many people looked
at the crown they had committed "treason" of how the prisoners were executed, and
we are all very indignant started, the main Magistrate also said that as long as men
and ownership can be a mercy from the pain immediately, but men can not yield , and
to the most cruel criminal law, and the presence of the audience were moved to join
his plea, "mercy, mercy..." the voice of a growing, the last main Magistrate also gave
him another chance, so long as he is willing to say that mercy word can suffer from
the Penal Code, and the results of his effort to exhaust the body said the last sentence
so that the presence of an alarming words "freedom !!!", Brave Heart is a really good
film and also shocked me.
