There are films. There are scenes. To feel for any character, you need to understand his journey in the film. The scene I am posting here, is from a Mel Gibson movie, Braveheart. If you have seen the movie then you must have appreciated the power of the scene. If you have not, then also you will feel for Mel Gibson's character. Before you watch, just read on:
1) It's a true story about man named William Wallace and his struggle to free Scotland from British Empire.
2) He is held by the British and will be killed in front of locals (for them, at start, its a fun hour -- reason -- enemy being killed). Other characters seen, are in the movie and you will need to see the entire movie to understand them and their motives.
3) If you see the scene from point of view of Mel Gibson, then you will appreciate it even more.
4) DO NOT STOP the video -- watch it till the end!!! (trust me)
5) If you are an avid watcher, then see how the director (Mel Gibson) builds up the scene. With no music initially and then the big orchestra. That's why they say, that film making is a marriage between all creative departments.
So here you go. Enjoy a great cinematic moment!

Check the actual historical facts. William Wallace DID NOT 'struggle to free Scotland from the British Empire.', nor was he ever 'held by the British'.
ReplyDeleteThe background to the events which occurred between 1297 and 1305 were the deaths of Alexander III, King of Scots then his granddaughter Margaret (the 'Maid of Norway') leaving the Scottish throne vacant. Edward I (Longshanks), King of England was initially invited to arbitrate between claimants to the Scottish crown but decided instead to further his own interests.
Britain and the British army did not come into existence until 1 May 1707. The British Empire gradually came into existence by military conquest thereafter then declined rapidly after World War 2 as countries within it gained their independence.
