William Wallace is a Scottish rebel who leads an uprising against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks, who wishes to inherit the crown of Scotland for himself.

Once he loses another of his loved ones, William Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, along with the assistance of Robert the Bruce.
Braveheart was my absolute favorite movie from the time it was released until the release of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Now it ranks at number 4 (or maybe even number 3). I'm not going to say a whole lot about Braveheart. If you haven't already seen it, what are you waiting for? This is a fantastic film in every regard. It looks awesome. It has incredible acting, story, and action. It flows great and you will never be bored. Rank this one up as a modern classic and modern masterpiece.

Haven't seen this for ages - and the DVD is sitting in my "to watch" pile, but I think you're enthusiasm has bumped it up several places:)
ReplyDeleteSo many familiar faces, as well.
On a technical note - what software do you use to take your screen grabs, as I'm always impressed by the quality?
To tell you the truth, most of these screen captures were pilfered from other sites. When I do a popular and recent film, it's easy to gather great quality screenshots. So, I cannot take credit for most of these. On normal occasions I don't use any software at all, my secret is the "print screen" button and microsoft paint. Most of my screenshots aren't that great, they just look ok because most of the movies I do are old and are a pretty poor quality print anyway. Then I shrink them a bit and make them look even better. Combine all that with a crap-load of screenshots and it's even better because quantity can help mask quality. lol
