There’s no better time to watch a film than in winter – and this is the perfect one. If you enjoy war films, there’s one you’ll simply have to add to your list.
One person who watched the film on IMDB said: “It’s a masterpiece. Best movie of all time.” Braveheart (1995) follows the story of Scottish warrior William Wallace who leads his countrymen in a rebellion to free his homeland from the tyranny of King Edward I of England.
The film is a firm favourite for many, racking up impressive scores from fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has achieved a 76% score with 8.3 out of 10 on IMDB.
Another fan on IMDB penned: “Best movie ever – most on this site pick the Godfather, or the Shawshank Redemption, but this is it, this is the best film ever made.
“People will complain, will argue that I am wrong, but I will say it again…Braveheart is as close to perfection as a movie can be.
“The acting is superb, the man who played Lonshanks, the actor who portrayed Robert the Bruce, both should have been nominated for Oscars due to their powerful rendering of evil and a man who is saved from losing his humanity (from becoming evil) by meeting William Wallace.
“And let us not forget the direction, the cinematography. Braveheart is glorious, beautiful to look at.
“The slow motion pictures of horses preparing to charge armed combatants, the entire landscape of Scotland that Mel Gibson captures with the camera. Braveheart is artwork, it is as good as any picture.”
The film achieved great success at the 68th Academy Awards, securing victories in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, and Best Sound Editing.
