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 inspiring 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 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.
