This is not because I doubt its importance in my memory, but I am a little worried that writing such a stylized Mel Gibson movie is too vulgar. But I immediately felt more vulgar for my worry. Failure to be loyal to oneself will only make all feelings and memory thoughts turn into other words, and lose all the meaning of existence. And loyalty to oneself can also be regarded as an aspect of the pursuit of freedom. Freedom is the whole meaning and purpose of "Brave Heart".
I have watched this movie no less than five times, but except for the second time, almost every time is a coincidence. The first time I saw it was in the sophomore year. In order to increase resources, the students of the English department decided to sell movie cards throughout the school. Every week, they can go to their department's large self-study classroom to watch unsubtitled English original movies. I bought this card purely to learn English, but I didn't expect to watch many super classic movies, including "Autumn Legend" and "Brave Heart".
My card used to be every Sunday evening, but for some reason, I got into the classroom halfway through the screening of other people's movies on Saturday that week, and I missed most of the movie for nothing. On the TV screen, two European men dressed up in the Middle Ages were planning a conspiracy in a dark castle. I seemed to understand the words "king", "throne", and "territory". In order to practice listening, although I didn't know what was going on at all, I still stayed firmly. Unexpectedly, the following story is getting more and more exciting. Although I don’t understand what the causality is, it doesn’t stop me from enduring the pain while the protagonist William Wallace is lying on the death penalty table. I was moved to tears when I was free. So, the next night, I went to the self-study classroom early to wait for the movie, and cried again.
Later, I watched "Brave Heart" again, and I happened to run into it almost every time on the TV show. I thought I had watched it so many times, and I should have been immune to the final death of William Wallace; but every time he opened his eyes with blue pupils for the last time, he saw his beautiful wife playing the accompaniment of the Scottish bagpipe. I walked towards him slowly from the crowd with a smile, and then when he tried his best to face the sky and shout "Freedom", my tears kept falling as if uncontrollable. I think this is the most shocking scene in all movies. Although the sensationalism is saturated, it is absolutely reasonable and powerful.
In fact, I really should review this movie again, there is no advertising break, no daily chores. But I haven't, even after Dawei bought a DVD specially. I think in my heart I am afraid to experience such a strong entangled sadness and courage and love determination again, and I am afraid to actively experience this baptism of the soul and the purification of the soul. In front of William Wallace, I felt very insignificant and insignificant. I complained about the unfair destiny, I complained about the trivialities of life, and I was furious over the trivialities. I really don't have the qualifications to face such a hero, and I don't have the courage to look directly at such a noble soul.
Until now, I have seen countless movie and TV stories about heroes, but only William Wallace has made the whole world overshadowed. Only "Brave Heart" is the true romantic heroism in my mind. Whenever I think of that eternal piece, I want to get drunk, and then use Li Bai's "Jiangjinjiu" to cherish the memory of this true hero. Because the most real emotions do not distinguish languages and borders.
