If I were to study about William Wallace, I wouldn't do it with Mel Gibson's classic "Braveheart"; I would go to the library to do it. The film is filled with historical inaccuracies, like Stirling Bridge and the Battle at York. But that's because this is based on the LEGEND of Wallace, and not history.
But anyway, this is my second favorite film from director Mel Gibson, only behind the more recent Apocalypto. It's in the grand-scale epic tradition: it's more than three hours long, it has intense battle sequences, it has a cold and heartless villain, etc. What I love most about this film are the battle scenes. The skirmish at Wallace's home, and the chaotic confrontation at Stirling, York, and Falkirk are bloody and gory and ultimately brutal. I won't tell you how brutal the action is, but I can tell you that they are some of the greatest captured on film. Sure, "Gladiator" had some gore, too, but this one takes the cake for me.
The acting may be a bit exaggerated in some scenes, but it sure fits in the epic genre. I don't think I can find a better actor who can play William Wallace than Gibson himself. His Scottish accent is almost perfect, and the way he encourages the Scottish to fight for their freedom is just amazing. Patrick McGoohan plays Edward the Longshanks, the king who would most love to hate. He's got the cold personality down perfectly. Sophie Marceau is enchanting as Princess Isabelle, a woman who is not really loved by her husband. Catherine McCormack as William's love, Murron, is also beautiful and lights up the screen when she's with Wallace. Angus McFayden as Robert the Bruce gives out a great performance as he starts to see why Wallace is fighting for freedom. The supporting cast (O'Hara as Stephen, Gleeson as Hamish, Cosmo as Campbell the Elder) play their parts splendidly.
I can tolerate the movie "300" for its fantastic visuals, but not for its incredibly inaccurate history. But I tolerate "Braveheart" more because it's one film that I grew up with. Both films are about freedom, and both handle the main theme very well. But I prefer "Braveheart".

Braveheart, despite some historical inaccuracies, is a high quality movie with much more than simple entertainment value. It belongs in everyone's library, not only because it should be considered a cimematic classic, but because it imparts important cultural, political, and western sociological tenets which must not be forgotten by our modern 'take it for granted' culture. The lessons of history must not be forgotten lest we find ourselves doomed to repeat them. Mel Gibson's Braveheart is an excellent vehicle to impart these lessons. It's violent and bloody, it's romantic, it's realistic enough to make one sit up and pay attention. If you haven't seen it, do so. If you have but don't own a copy, buy one and watch it several more times. Our future depends on it.

This is simply the best movie ever made, containing all the elements a perfect movie should, even considering that every person has a right to his/her opinion. The soundtrack is amazing, the scenes are ingenious and the story is simply excellent! This is a story about a Scotsman named William Wallace (Mel Gibson) and his fight for the freedom of the Scottish people, from the oppression of the English ruler-ship. After seeing the death of his wife at the hands of an English nobleman, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) sets out on a quest for vengeance that quickly turns into a crusade for freedom for the entire "country". The extreme violence as well as the human compassion in this movie are overwhelming in its brilliancy.

Rising up in the morning sundale of towering castles, effic battles, mad kings and the legendary love-affaire that helped the course of history. This is the heroic pallage of Braveheart winner of 5 academy awards...
Returning to his birthplace in the roughed highlands, William Wallace, an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision, frees his people and becomes Scotlands greatest true-life legend...
Also starring as William Wallace, director Mel Gibson himself changes the course of history in this three hour epic. Similar to directors like Akira K. & Sergei Eisenstein, Mel Gibson shows us that editing still is the finishing touch to complete a masterpiece. This breakthrough digs deep in the roots of history. Quoted from Robert DeBruce(opening scene):'I shall tell you the story of William Wallace. Some say I'm a liar...'.
Bottom line is that this film shows us what filmmaking really is all about. Sharp and smart editing, an unforgettable cast, the best up till now of James Horner, brilliant first featuring directing by the promising Gibson, great cinematographie by John Toll. In two words.......Magic & Mooning!!!
