... of this calibre come along . From beginning to end Mel gave his audience a vast range of emotions to deal with. Braveheart to me is one of the most moving and inspirational motion pictures ever made. Mel Gibson knows how to capture an audience even when many of his audience know that the films outcome is wrenching. Braveheart draws you in, every loss for these characters become your own, every victory a personal one. The film is unquestionably violent, but you never see as much violence as you think you do. The supporting cast simply shines including Patrick McGoohan as the evil Longshanks, Brendan Gleesen as Wallace’s childhood friend Hamish and Sophie Marceau as the princess of Wales. Tie it all together with stirring music by composer James Horner, and you’ve got a great film experience. What the audience are going to remember from the film are the battle scenes, which are frequent, bloody and violent.
