My Reaction
I loved Braveheart! I saw it in the cinema when it was first released and have seen it on DVD many times. I enjoy many movies, especially historical movies, but Braveheart is a favourite. The first time I saw it, in my local cinema with some friends, I was totally enraptured. The part where Robert a major character is revealed as a traitor was horrifying! I turned to my friend who is a history graduate and said, 'Please tell me that's not true!' (and I normally am really annoyed with people who talk during movies but I was so shocked!). But that's the joy of Braveheart - it's so gripping that every time I watch it I get swept up in it. It really is a rollercoaster of emotion, an epic ride, made all the more thrilling and horrifying because it's based on a true story.
Although later events have shown Mel Gibson's character in, to say the least, a less than favourable light, he did a brilliant job in directing Braveheart. It's such a vivid and memorable movie. And so inspiring!
