This work of Mel Gibson shows the highest degree of classical romance I have seen in a film, man fighting for freedom in a world where all you have to do is what you think is right. It's so pure, so beautiful and melodic while being a great medieval war epic that has tons of action and violence and the one scene of nudity for some reason haha!
I really enjoyed it and seeing this film against something that prides itself on being bombastic like the recent Gladiator movie which I have only seen the trailer of, plus the numerous generic action movies just yells to me that they don't make films like this anymore. By "this", I mean one that doesn't embrace it's ultraviolence or it's ridiculous plot but one that embraces it's grounds of romance and just siding with the good in a battle against evil. I would love to know what you guys think and that if i'm just mistake and haven't seen more films
Would love some recommendations as well that are like Braveheart
I can't make it through Braveheart anymore because the historical inaccuracies just pile up every time I watch it. How the fuck do you not have a bridge in the battle named after a bridge where the battle took place? Gibson being a giant chud doesn't help the movie, either. Still amazes me how he lit his career on fire.
It's an action/war movie, it's fun
