My Favourite Historical Film ( Braveheart )

It's an epic war film directed by and starting Mel Gibson . who portrays William Wallace . A late 13th century Scottish warrior who led the scots in the first war of Scottish independence against king Edward I of England .

the film was nominated for ten academy awards and won five : best picture , best director , best cinematography , best makeup and best sound editing .

my favourite scene will always be the freedom speech scene . where he says ..

                         Fight , and you my die
                         Run , and you'll live ...... at least for awhile
                         And dying in your bed many years from now
                         Will you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that
                         For one chance ....... just one chance
                         To come back here and tell our enemies
                         That they may take our lives
                          But they will never take OUR FREEDOM

His performance (Mel Gibson ) was so powerful during the whole film . the way he showed William Wallace the worrier and the loving husband , and how he fought for what he believed was his right .
