1. Remember the last cry of William Wallace in the movie "Brave Heart"? Yes, it is: "FREEDOM..."! Is this the end of the Scottish Independence Movement? In fact, everything has just begun... This "King Outside the Law" is the sequel to "Brave Heart". The movie tells the story of Robert the Bruce rebelling against the rule of Edward Long-legged in England. The English name of "Outlaw King" is "Outlaw King". If it is literally translated, it is a very crude and easy to understand "Outlaw King". In the Middle Ages, once the king was declared as an "extrajudicial", the outcome was basically to sentence the person to death. For this reason, the "extralegal king" was obviously a "traitor", and this one would be sentenced to hanging, even more. That is the ending of Wallace: Five Horses Divided. But behind a rule of money and power, one must be a slave and choose to obey the iron hoof of the ruler. Either be a man, pick up weapons and choose to fight. Obviously, Robert Bruce did not kneel down all the time. Although in "Brave Heart", Robert became a "little man" stabbed in the back. In fact, the Scottish people's uprising led by Wallace did not get many nobles from the beginning. support. Therefore, "Brave Heart"'s portrayal of blues is indeed a bit of sacrifice for art. "The King outside the law" begins with the story of Wallace's death, and is also a continuation of Wallace. 2. Freedom is not cheap, but a lot of sacrifices! For this reason, Robert Bruce killed another potential heir to the Scottish throne, John Cumming, in the church. This incident has been torturing Bruce's soul, although in the end he was forgiven by Bishop Twishart of the Scottish Catholic Church. In fact, the Pope of Rome subsequently issued an order to expel him. The king outside the law is also the king outside the education. On the day of the coronation, because of negligence, he almost died in the camp. All the way back, there are only 40 men left. In this way, Robert Bruce actually survived the guerilla warfare, one castle, one castle was defeated. Robert Bruce in the movie is a taciturn man, even his newly married wife will only say "good night" to her. It can be said that the film basically restores the basic historical facts of Robert Bruce. The final battle, the Battle of Bannockburn. Robert Bruce unexpectedly won, and hit the English cavalry and the Prince of Wales with a one-to-three power disparity. You know, the Scottish army is a mob. According to historical records, the English army suffered a total of more than 9,000 heavy cavalry, longbowmen and infantry in the entire Battle of Bannockburn, which was the heaviest casualty in England's 700-year history. If you like to watch "Game of Thrones", then the final battle of this movie is quite like "Battle of Bastards". Whether it's costumes, props, or scenes, "The King of Outlaws" and "Game of Thrones" are comparable, and the production is quite exquisite. The picture, not to mention, "The King of Outlaws" uses a lot of telephoto lenses to shape the beauty of Scotland, whether it is exterior or interior, it is extremely beautiful. Anyway, I watched it all in one go, and the plot didn't have too much procrastination. On the contrary, there was a feeling of "It's over so soon!" after watching it. 3. Let me talk about the two supporting roles. The first is the goddaughter of Edward Long-legged, which is Bruce's second wife Elizabeth. She didn't have many scenes in the whole film, but the director used a few simple plots to portray her perfectly. On the day when Robert decided to rise up, Elizabeth insisted on standing by her husband. She said, "I chose you, no matter where you plan to go. I choose you, my husband." This decision was very difficult. Yes, and he is the goddaughter of King Edward of England, which has decided that he has also rebelled. But in the context of the Christian faith, submitting to her husband was the first correct decision. Her persistence, loyalty, and kindness were also rewarded. Another outstanding supporting role was Douglas, who was also quite successful in shaping him, and killed the English soldiers in fear. This character was also a legend of "Brave Heart" later. It is said that in his later years, Robert Bruce was very regretful for killing John Cumming in the church, so he decided to join the Crusade. But Robert was unable to join the army in his later years, so he asked Douglas to take out his heart after his death and take it out. After Robert's death, Douglas faithfully kept his promise. He left Scotland in 1330, wearing a silver glass urn tied with a chain around his neck, and inside it was the heart of Robert Bruce. This is the origin of "Brave Heart", and later Douglas also died in the battlefield of the Crusaders. Back to the movie, the movie ended with Robert Bruce and his wife reunited. In 1328, Edward III and Robert signed the "Northampton Treaty" and the "Edinburgh Agreement", which formally recognized the independent sovereignty of the Kingdom of Scotland. Until, his descendant James VI inherited the throne of England. Such a pair of British enemies for millennia went to unite, and from then on, England and Scotland ushered in the "Union of the Crowns" era. The people created history, but history turned heroes into legends. Whether it is an enlightened monarch or a king of the impossible, The experience that movies give us is just a kind of comfort. Our stories can be many, many, but the movies we make are only as shallow as a page, and spiritual freedom is still under control. Therefore, the fate of being enslaved is not given by him. , But pick it up. But no matter what, I still hope that one day, there will be people on the front and back of our screen who can shout "FREEDOM" from the bottom of my heart. (Union of the Crowns) era.
