Braveheart is hands down my favorite film of all time. The Movie is just mesmerizing. Every aspect of it is flawless and proves it by winning 5 Oscars and not to mention the obscene amount of other nominations.

The movie made such a great impact when I first saw it at the early age of 13 years old, the fact that the good guy dies at the end was a concept i hadn't seen or experienced before in any other movie or cartoons, and I think the fact that he dies makes his message all the more important and stronger. Oh, and I also have to mention that I had not really understood the pain of his death until I saw it at an older age, it was only THEN I could admire the tragedy and great deal of suffering he must have felt during those final torture scenes.

To know that such great passion can exist within a human being is uplifting. It truly makes life magical in every aspect. Sometimes you just realize how full of life, love, passion, and energy you are, this movie will definitely twist all sorts of feelings and by the end you will not stop thinking of FREEEEDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!
