Braveheart

A tragic epic movie full of blood and tears.

The Scottish people's pursuit of freedom

In the cruel battle of swords and shadows, there is lingering blood and tenderness.

Brave Heart, also known as Unfinished Love, takes the court politics of England in the 4th century 13- 14 as the background and takes war as the core, and tells the story of the indomitable struggle between william wallace, the leader of the Scottish uprising, and the rulers of England. The film was written, directed and performed by mel gibson, a famous Hollywood filmmaker. The film not only unfolds a magnificent, touching and tearful historical picture for people, but also shows people a hero who has created a film miracle.

Brave Heart has always been regarded as a tragic epic movie with a legend of blood and tears. In the film, people are often moved by the mountains supported by handkerchiefs, the sad bagpipes and the shrill cries of the Scottish people in poverty and pain, and are also encouraged by Wallace's indomitable spirit. William wallace's spirit is like a banner, guiding the Scottish people to win their final freedom. One of his favorite poems has survived to this day-

Tell you, my child,/There are many things worth fighting for in your life,/but freedom is undoubtedly the most important thing. /Never live the life of a mother in chains.

A hero 700 years ago, a movie 700 years later, inspired every hero and mortal who fought for freedom since human thought.

Brave Heart is an epic movie full of passion, politics, romance and morality, which is an unprecedented challenge and test for any director. Gibson showed extraordinary ability and successfully released such a film with profound nationalism and political connotation. He deserves to be a world superstar.

-People in America magazine

Brave Heart is an excellent film. Everyone who has seen it says that it is the best and most humane patriotic film I have ever seen since I was a child. When the film changes the law of justice, it is always a victory and a consistent law. The ending is a tragedy, and a tear-jerking but enterprising "freedom" draws a satisfactory full stop to the whole film. Although there is no victory in the struggle, the struggle continues, and Wallace's death has decided the outcome of the battle.

William wallace was born in Eldersley on 1272. His father was a tenant farmer of james stewart, a Scottish aristocrat, and his uncle was a parish priest.

At that time, the Scottish King john barry Orr was very unpopular, and riots broke out all over the country. Seeing that the tide was gone, Balliol turned to England's King Edward I of England for help, handing over sovereignty with both hands. After Edward I of England took over Scotland, he controlled the situation by brutal and high-handed means, which led to several massacres. Scots not only have to endure high taxes, but also suffer personal insults-whenever the bride gets married, the right to have her first night belongs to the governor of England. These tyrannies aroused the people's resistance, and nobles and peasants took up arms against the British.

Wallace's father organized a secret resistance organization, and he led his men to bravely fight against the British invaders. But not long after, his father was executed by the British, and Wallace was taken away by his uncle and bid farewell to this sad and horrible hometown. From then on, Wallace was raised by his uncle, who not only taught him a lot of knowledge, but also taught him to learn martial arts.

Time flies. Twenty years later, Wallace has grown into a handsome young man. He returned to his hometown and saw his picturesque landscape and childhood friends again. He fell in love with the girl next door, Mullen. On the rainy plateau, they rode on horses. Everything is so beautiful. Finally, one night, they got married in secret, and Wallace hoped to live a stable and harmonious life with his wife.

But God didn't help them. The British atrocities have never stopped, and they are still raging everywhere, endangering the people. In a British attack, Mullen was seen by a British officer and wanted to be indecent. She fought hard, but her throat was cut in public by the cruel British army.

The hatred between the country and the family finally broke out. He broke into the British garrison alone and killed many British troops. With the villagers shouting "heroes", they rose up, killed British soldiers and declared an uprising. Wallace won many battles and gained great fame, attracting many people to join the rebel army.

Robert, a Scottish aristocrat, wants to be a Scottish aristocrat. Instigated by his father Booth, he formed a false alliance with Wallace. Wallace defeated the attacking British army, and the Scottish Parliament knighted him and appointed him lord protector. However, Wallace found that these Scottish nobles only considered their own interests and did not worry about the future of the people and the country at all.

King Edward of England sent his daughter-in-law Isabella to peace talks in order to ease the situation. But because Edward didn't consider the freedom and equality of the people at all, he just wanted to buy Wallace as a condition, and the peace talks failed. When Isabella came back, she realized that the peace talks were just a cover. Edward wanted to join the Irish army and the British army to surround Wallace's Scottish army. So she wrote a letter to Wallace soon. Under the pressure of the army, the nobles fell into a panic. Wallace led the troops into battle, and in a scuffle, he accidentally found Robert colluding with the king of England, and he couldn't help being hit hard. Isabella fell for Wallace's lofty sentiments and came to the station to pour out her true feelings to him. They are intoxicated with the happiness of love.

The king of England once again proposed peace talks. Wallace knew it was a trap, but he should do everything for peace. In Edinburgh, Booth designed to capture Wallace and hand him over to the king of England. Robert was very annoyed at his father's tricks.

Wallace was finally sentenced to death, but Isabella failed to intercede. Before the king died, she told him that she was not pregnant with the prince's blood and that the child would soon become the new king.

Wallace shocked everyone by shouting "freedom" before the execution. A few weeks later, Robert shouted the slogan of "revenge for Wallace" and bravely inherited Wallace's legacy of resisting the British. The Scottish people finally gained national independence.

Elegy of freedom

The whole movie Braveheart is haunted by oppression and freedom, and freedom naturally becomes the profound theme of the film. But before we discuss freedom, let's look at a few things first. Edward I of England of England was an iron-fisted monarch in history. He plundered a lot of land and wealth for England. His more outstanding contribution is to improve the British law, develop the parliamentary system and improve the monarch. In English history books, they ordered the slaughter of prisoners of war and many innocent people in William Wallace. Although we can't generalize, it's still very confusing. Freedom in William Wallace's time seems far away from modern society.

Compared with a slave, the meaning of freedom is limited to not being restricted by others and having the right to decide what to do. In this sense, what william wallace pursues is a kind of right of self-control, which seems to be one of the most basic living conditions for human beings, but it is a pity that he lost his life in this process. Robert inherited Wallace's legacy and won the independence of Scotland, but did he really set people free in the heavily guarded Middle Ages? The answer is of course no.

In the western world, from the Middle Ages to the modern society, it can be said that it is a victory of freedom. Free economy replaces manor economy, and individual freedom is maintained by contract state theory. All this is because liberalism has become the basic philosophy of western society. This freedom is a right, and the source of this right comes from the maintenance of the government in the final analysis. But in western society, it was not until the American Declaration of Independence that this right was officially recognized for the first time. Therefore, we can't expect to experience the meaning of true freedom in Braveheart.

In modern western philosophical theory, a few liberals only regard freedom as an unconstrained and unrestricted desire, while resistance is neither free nor compulsory, which can also be called a negative freedom. Although people can also enjoy a high degree of negative freedom in a non-democratic society, the subjective judgment of this liberal philosophy. From this perspective, the concept of freedom in Brave Heart is much more primitive.

There is no intention to ruin the film at all, because we really have no reason to ask the film to cross the times and pursue the freedom that belongs to reality. On the contrary, we should marvel at the profound spiritual shock that Brave Heart can bring us, and this shock comes more from its cry for freedom. The last "freedom" is a declaration of war on the old system and a desire for a new life. Although the pursuit of freedom is far away from us, we can still be angry and cry for a movie. After all, true freedom comes from our hearts.

His spirit is like a flag.

After william wallace was beheaded, his body was cut into several pieces. His head was hung on the tower bridge in London, and officials encouraged people in the past to laugh at this man who caused great fear to the British people. His limbs were sent to four corners of Great Britain to warn some people who wanted to defect.

But even if King Edward I of England did, the Scots would not be afraid. The story of Wallace risking his life for justice spread all over Scotland, and his courage before his death made his compatriots more proud. His death ignited a blazing fire in the hearts of Scots. They all defected to the only Robert Bliss who could lead Scotland.

Robert accepted the rest of Wallace's army and announced that he would live in peace with the English, which puzzled many Scots. At the surrender ceremony, many soldiers who fought alongside Wallace and some Scottish nobles attended.

Robert looked at the British generals, their flags and the army from the top of the mountain. Then he looked back at his troops. He looked at his soldiers. He looked at the improper employment of soldiers.

A Scottish nobleman approached him on a horse and looked a little impatient. "Come on!" He said, "Our ceremony can begin."

Robert carefully put the handkerchief into his breastplate, and then turned to the Highlander standing on the hill. He took a deep breath and shouted, "You once bled with Wallace!" He drew his sword. "Now, please bleed with me!"

Highlanders in Scotland were so excited that they gave an earth-shattering cry: "Wallace! Schwab, come! Shi Hua is coming! " The sound drowned the whole valley. They shouted, desperate to shock the British. ...

In A.D. 13 14, the hungry, small number of Scottish troops attacked the English army on the Yuan Ye of White Nackban. They played like a poem, and they won the ultimate freedom and victory for themselves.
