10.  Sir William Wallace was a Scottish knight
and landowner who is known for leading a resistance
during the Wars of Scotland independence and is
today remembered in Scotland as a patriot and
national hero.
 In the time period of William Wallace Scotland was
under the constitution of England, and Edward I was
the king. He bounded Scotland by his cruel laws and
the peoples of Scotland was fought for their freedom.

11.  Along with Andrew Moray, he defeated an English army at
the Battle of Stirling Bridge, and became Guardian of Scotland,
serving until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk. A few years later
Wallace was captured in Robroyston near Glasgow and handed
over to King Edward I of England, who had him executed for
treason.
 Wallace was the inspiration for the poem The Acts and Deeds of Sir
William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie, by the 15th-
century minstrel, Blind Harry and this poem was to some extent
the basis of Randall Wallace's screenplay for the 1995 film Brave
heart.

12. PLOT OF THE MOVIE
The story begins with youngWallace,
whose father and brother have been
killed fighting against the
English. In 1280, King Edward I of England
has occupied much of southern Scotland,
and his oppressive rule there leads to the
deaths ofWilliam Wallace's father and brother.
After that Wallace has been taken into the
custody of his uncle who
was a nationalist and pre-Renaissance
man.

13. He returns twenty years later, become a man educated both
in the classics and in the art of war.There he finds his childhood
sweetheart Murron and the two quickly fall in love.There are
murmurs of revolt against the English throughout the village,
butWallace remains aloof, wishing simply to tend to his crops
and live in peace. However, when his love is killed by English
soldiers the day after their secret marriage he springs into action
and single-handedly slays an entire platoon of foot soldiers.The
other villagers join him in destroying the English garrison, and
thus begin the revolt against the English in what will eventually
become full-fledged war.

14. Wallace eventually leads his fellow Scots in a series of bloody
battles that prove a serious threat to English domination and,
along the way, has a hushed affair with the Princess ofWales.
She becomes enamored with him and secretly assists him in
his fight. Wallace is caught in a trap set by the elder Bruce and
the other nobles, beaten unconscious, and handed over to the
English. The English court responds by sentencing him to be
"purified by pain."Even in the time of death he has
been shouted for freedom .The film has finished with the
heroic death ofWallace. Sometime later, Robert the Bruce
leads a strong Scottish army and faces a ceremonial line of
English troops at the fields of Bannockburn.

17. EXCELLENCE OF BRAVE
HEART
Gibson does a terrific job on both sides of the camera.
His widescreen masterpiece is beautifully shot, from the
gorgeous locations and set pieces to the "cast of
thousands"
battle scenes. Gibson's Wallace not only has his Scottish
brogue down very well, but is a picture of strength and
integrity. McGoohan is deliciously acts as Longshanks, and
Sophie Marceau (as Longshanks' daughter in law) also
turns in an excellent performance as a woman torn
between
her duty and what‘s right.

18. BRAVE HEART WITH MY
VIEW:
Passion, Freedom, Love & Honor are just some few
words that what this movie is about. This beautiful,
inspiring, patriotic movie touches the heart in many
ways. Amazingly written and directed with much
authenticity, Mel Gibson brings us into the world of a
true warrior, who stood for what he believed, no
matter what it cost him. He portrays the heroic
William Wallace in a way we will never forget. His
spirit will live on forever.
With the touch of patriotism ,I think Brave Heart gets it
fulfillness In romance. Wallace character reminds us
an ideal romantic hero who has changed his way of
living for his lover’s murder.

19. But nothing in the world is perfect. So every beautiful thing must
has some negative sides.
• I think Wallace’s romantic character in the movie
sometime harts his patriotism and heroic character. At the
beginning when the seniors has come to him and request him
to join in the fight for freedom Wallace just denies the path of
war, but this Wallace plays the leading roll for freedom of
Scotland when his wife has been murdered by the British
soldiers.
• In my point of view Wallace’s affair, with French Princess
Isabella , makes black spot in his character.
• At last the movie ends in very simple manner. The death of
Wallace undoubtedly heroic one, but his way to death is very
simple.

20. On its opening weekend, Brave heart grossed US$9,938,276 in the United States and
$75.6 million in its box office run in the United States and Canada.
Worldwide, Braveheart grossed over $210 million and was the 18th highest grossing
film of 1995.
The film's depiction of the Battle of Stirling Bridge is often considered one of the
greatest movie battles in cinema history. The film generated huge interest
in Scotland and in Scottish history not only around the world, but also in Scotland
itself. Fans come from all over the world to see the places in Scotland where William
Wallace fought for Scottish freedom, and also to the places in Scotland and Ireland to
see the locations used in the film. At a Braveheart Convention in 1997, held
in Stirling the day after the Scottish Devolution vote and attended by 200 delegates
from around the world, Braveheart author Randall Wallace, Seoras Wallace of the
Wallace Clan, Scottish historian David Ross and BláithínFitzGerald from Ireland gave
lectures on various aspects of the film. Several of the actors also attended including
James Robinson (Young William).
