Somewhere between "Bravo" and "Whoa."
I saw this film for the
first time on cable, and, fortunately, it was an "uncut" version. I was
greatly impacted, but, as bad luck would have it, I would not see it
again for two years.
Mel Gibson is an accomplished actor, with
films like "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapon" under his belt. "Ransom" showed
he was more than just a quirky role actor, but it was "Braveheart" that
proved to everyone that he was a great actor... and director.
What
he has envisioned and ensnared on camera is one of the great cinematic
achievements of all time, and at an awkward time, too. Looking back at
previous years at the Oscars, and you have "Schindler's List," "Dances
with Wolves," and "Unforgiven." Looking ahead, you have "Titanic,"
"Shakespeare in Love," and "Gladiator." These are all period pieces.
Right smack dab in the middle is "Braveheart." It is the most simple of
the films above, yet it is arguably the best. None will argue its impact
is greater than "Schindler's List" nor its power greater than
"Unforgiven," but what it has, more than any of those other films, is
heart. Much like his "Passion of the Christ," Mel Gibson brings a
passion to this film, and that is what sustains it.
Mel Gibson
plays William Wallace, a well-educated Scottish peasant who is
determined to lead a peaceful life. Well, if you've seen the poster for
this film, you probably already know that he doesn't succeed. When a law
is put into place that says English noblemen have first right to lay
with Scottish brides, Wallace marries in secret. But, when it is found
out, a local noble attempts to take Murron, Wallace's wife, she resists,
leading to a gruesome execution. With little choice, Wallace opts for
vengeance, and thus begins the journey of Scotland's greatest warrior.
This
is a wonderfully acted, directed, photographed, and designed film with
great performances, particularly from a breathtakingly beautiful Sophie
Marceau, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
