Well, this is the
page on Mel Gibson's Oscar winning movie! Basically, I don't
have much to write on this movie because I personally have
not watched the whole movie. I missed it on cinema but managed
to catch it at my friend's house. Unfortunately, due to the
decision of the majority, I could only watch the beginning,
ending and the fighting sequences! I know, I know... how can
I call myself a fan then! But who cares! I'm the one who is
making this homepage! Hah! So with that, I will have to let you
know that the summary of this movie is from Paramount's web site.
"
In the late 13th century William Wallace (Mel Gibson) returns
to Scotland after living away from his homeland for many years.
The king of Scotland has died without an heir and the king of
England - a ruthless pagan known as Edward the Longshanks -
has seized the throne. Wallace becomes the leader of a ramshackle
yet courageous army determined to vanquish the greater
English forces. Wallace's courage and passion unite his people
in Braveheart.
Following his directorial debut, "The Man Without a Face" Mel
Gibson is directing, producing and starring in a film combining
action, intrigue and romance to tell the story of legendary
Scottish knight Sir William Wallace and the love that inspired him to
fight for his country's freedom.
Braveheart also stars Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, and
Catherine McCormack."

Doesn't this movie just sound so great? Well, it's better than
great!! The war sequences are very realistic thanks
to Mel's superb directing and the really cool sound effects. Not
that gory and bloody but the overall effect is just astounding. |

From a man's point of view:
This movie is soooo cool. It's like the macho-est thing I have
ever seen. The babe is gorgeous. And so was the fighting scene.
The sound effects were a blast! What with my SUPER HUGE Hi-fi
Stereo, all-surround system and the big speakers, the
splats, whams, bangs, and what-nots were like awesome!! No beer
though! I think Mel should add a scene where he and his
muscle-bound warriors drink Guinness or something! But no sweat!
I got my own beer with me while I watch the movie! Burp!
From a woman's point of view:
I think this movie is just simply fantastic! I like seeing the
men wearing kilts! And that part where they show their tooshies...
ooohh! Just melt my heart away! And those gorgeous blue eyes!
Sigh!! I give this cute movie a 10 out of 10 little kisses! And
thank goodness there is no beer stuff in it!! |

Hahahaha! Okay.. okay.. so I'm being really unrealistic! Don't
mean to sound like a bad person, just exagerating things
waaaayy out of proportion here for a good old hee-haw (laugh)!
But there is a point to all that mumbo-jumbo stuff and that is
that the movie is suitable for everbody (except the wee young
kids). This movie is just laced with drama, passion, love, etc!
And it shows you a man can be committed too! Haha!
I think I might just get my friend to let me see the movie again.
What about you?
Well, guess what folks? I finally got to watch the whole movie! By accident,
I stumbled upon the Braveheart video in my college's library and so, I spent
6 free periods spread throughout a few weeks to watch the whole movie. It's
pretty tiring to watch the movie in 30 minutes segments but it was well worth
the effort!! Hahaha! And YEsss mum... I didn't forget my homework and studies!!!
Dying for more pictures? Well, don't go puking on me!! Just
