Braveheart

"Braveheart" is a cinematic masterpiece, if you consider chest hair, kilts, and lots of yelling to be hallmarks of excellence. The film's historical accuracy is about as reliable as Mel Gibson's sobriety, but who cares?

This is a movie about a man who paints his face blue and charges into battle screaming, "FREEDOM!"The plot is simple: William Wallace (played by Gibson) wants to free Scotland from the evil English oppressors, so he gathers an army of misfits and proceeds to get them all killed. Along the way, he finds time to fall in love with a princess, get betrayed by his best friend, and deliver a rousing speech that would make even the most stone-hearted patriot weep with pride.

But the real star of the show is the gore. "Braveheart" doesn't skimp on the bloodshed, with limbs flying and intestines spilling left and right. It's like a history lesson and a slasher film rolled into one.In short, "Braveheart" is a must-see for anyone who loves a good laugh, a good cry, or a good dismemberment. Just don't think too hard about the facts.
