WILLIAM WALLACE THE 13TH CENTURY SCOTTISH WARRIOR BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BY MEDIEVAL MEL

To be perfectly honest, medieval movies aren't normally my cup of
tea and i rarely have watched one through from to start to finish.
I never even got to watch Gladiator and i have never watched the
feature movie here, BRAVEHEART, all the way through. Perhaps
it's about time i did, certainly the cinematography alone in the
movie is awe inspring just judging by the clips which i looked
at before i began writing this blog. Because i have only ever
seen snippets of Braveheart, i'm not in any position to have
an opinion of how convincing the movie is altogether, what i
do know is that in a totally satirical manner where i worked
in the mid 1990`s i use to recite William Wallace's war cry
out of the movie, like - THEY CAN TAKE AWAY OUR LIFE,
BUT THEY CANT TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM. I never ever
sounded as convincing as Mel Gibson done saying it, he's
of course the actor who portrayed the role of Scottish dis-
senter William Wallace, who rallied together a huge army
of rebels in defiance of the King of England and english
occupation of Scotland in the 13th century. The movie
is based upon a true story, there really was a William
Wallace of Scotland, there really was a King Edward
the First of England and there really was the First
War of Scottish Independence. Gibsons's portrayal
of Wallace becomes all the more convincing in the
movie following the death of his much loved wife,
his childhood sweetheart, Murron MacClannough
(played by Catherine McCormack) after she gets
publicly executed by the village sheriff for just
doing nothing more than being in the company
of Wallace at the time when her attacker and
the englishmen are stopped in their tracks by
her mighty pissed off husband after one tries
to rape her. The movie i know does not slow
down from there and Wallace's vented anger
against the english reaches the point where
you are waiting for Gibson to come crashing
through your TV screen with a spear wanting
to have a massive punch up. Great movie, it
is about time i actually took the time to watch
it, i am sure i can handle some medieval gore.
