Review of Braveheart (1995) by Jordan K — 07 Jul 2014

Braveheart is a great and especially badass biopic on Scottish revolutionist William Wallace, directed by and played by Mel Gibson (who's hilarious to listen to his ranting phone calls after watching this). It definitely deserves its Best Picture win, although it's infamously historically inaccurate and it's nearly 3 hours long.

Braveheart follows William Wallace, who is fighting to gain Scottish independence from the British king Longshanks. He deals with many deaths in battle before his own death, where he is beheaded and tortured in front of a crowd.

Braveheart is a great biopic and film, although it's a bit long at some parts. It's still very interesting, and I highly suggest you see it. I haven't watched the other Gibson directed flicks yet. (Passion of the Christ will be quite a joyride when I get to that).
