Braveheart (DVD, 2000, Sensormatic - Widescreen)

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, definitely in my top 3. There are all lot of life lessons here, some that are just under the surface, others that are right in your face. This is my definition of a guy movie! This is Rated “R” for nudity, adult situations and graphic violence. It is a classic, and at 3 hours long. There is a great mix of romance and battle scenes, to keep you interested. It will someday, probably be sliced and diced for a “PG” TV audience.
This is directed by Mel Gibson who plays Scottish hero William Wallace, a man with simple roots who finds himself, leading the Scottish revolt against England in the late 13th century against the despicable King Edward the Longshanks (Edward I).
Braveheart defines honor and nobility in a way we all accept, reinforcing what we've always felt, that true nobility is not the result of your birthright, but that it comes from the way you live your life. It's an excellent “rule to live by” that stays with you long after the film is over, and that is all too rare these days. There is a lot of people who take issue with the films Historical inaccuracies but it is not meant to be a historical text book, it is a drama, and a dam good one. Buy the dvd and watch it numerous times, it’s that good!
