I get the same feeling and taste every time I watch it. There cannot be such a touching historical film. The famous Mel Gibson film, which won five Oscars, including the best film, and influenced the films that followed it, is the second film directed by Mel Gibson, who is also the producer and lead actor. It is a magnificent film that tells what the price of freedom is. In my opinion, it is a masterpiece that is one of the rare films that gets the points it deserves.

Braveheart is a 1995 epic historical drama film directed by Mel Gibson and starring Gibson as William Wallace, a late 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England.

Everyone dies, but no one really lives. The movie reminds us that thinking is more logical than constantly fighting.

The film was a commercial success, grossing over $75 million in the United States and over $210 million worldwide. It received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Gibson.

The film tells the story of Wallace's rebellion against the English, starting with the murder of his wife and culminating in his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk and his eventual execution. Gibson's performance as Wallace is widely considered to be one of the best of his career, and the film is praised for its historical accuracy and stunning battle scenes.

One of the standout elements of Braveheart is its stunning cinematography, which captures the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape and the brutal intensity of the battle scenes. The film's score, composed by James Horner, is also a highlight, adding emotional depth to the story and complementing the action on screen.

Despite its long duration, the movie never bores and is very fluent, and the music is also very good. Although some extras and mistakes are glaring, the battle scenes were successful.

Despite its accolades and box office success, Braveheart has faced criticism for its depiction of the historical events and characters. Some have pointed out that the film takes significant liberties with the facts, and that Gibson's portrayal of Wallace as a heroic freedom fighter is at odds with the historical record.

We can't call it a real-life war movie because they changed history, you can research it. There are small flaws, you notice while watching. There are some historical errors. King Edward did not die of a coma as in the movie, and after William Wallace was captured and executed, he continued to personally raid Scotland.

Braveheart is a visually impressive and emotionally powerful film that tells a compelling story of rebellion and sacrifice. While it may not be entirely historically accurate, it is still a must-see for fans of epic historical dramas.

Finally, "They can take our lives. But they can never take away our freedom". Freedom is the common language and common struggle of all nations. I accompanied the passion and excitement in the movie every second.
