GCS 022 "Braveheart" by Mel Gibson

 

What kind of man would defy a king?

 

Mel Gibson, great actor and great director, and that why I bring you today the amazing movie:

Braveheart (1995) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112573/

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. When he was a young boy, William Wallace's father and brother, along with many others, lost their lives trying to free Scotland. 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.

Fun Facts:

  • Several of the major battle scenes had to be re-shot, as extras were seen wearing sunglasses and wristwatches.

  • Director/producerMel Gibsonwas investigated by the RSPCA, who were convinced that the fake horses used were real. Only when one of his assistants provided some videotaped footage of the location shooting were they convinced otherwise.

  • The battle of Stirling took six weeks to film; roughly half a million feet of film (90+ hours) were shot for the sequence.

  • The only way Gibson could get the film made was if he agreed with Paramount studios that he would star in the film as well.

 

And so here is the scene: "the William Wallace" speach! :-)
