Every man dies, not every man really lives.

Every man dies, not every man really lives.

From the first time I watched Braveheart to watch it intermittently for dozens of times in the past ten years, apart from the most touching sentence "Freedooooom", this sentence is the most impressive. Yes. , Anyone will die, will die in this noisy, messy, neon-dazzling world. And not everyone has lived truly and truly. What is the real meaning of being alive? Money, status , Power, fame, vanity, appearance, dress, etc. I have been thinking about it for a long time, maybe this is just a symbol of that lush years, maybe it is just a sign of my own experience, growth and maturity. But whenever After seeing Braveheart again, this seemingly illusory problem will always arise. Everyone comes to this world and grows up all the way, young, middle-aged, old, married and have children, respecting parents, successful career, and then old Go, and finally leave. Everyone can't escape the blessing of death, and everyone changes in a specific environment. We are just human beings.

After sighing again, we return to the world of Mel Gibson. This is the true meaning of Mel Gibson The famous masterpiece is also the beginning of the bloody masterpiece, from Braveheart to The Passion of the Christ to Apocalypto. One is more bloody than one, and one is worse than one. Although from 13 actual Scotland to religious POTC and then The mysterious Mayan civilization A. Mel Gibson is showing his creativity and thinking mode. Although negative news has a great influence on him now, I have to say. He is indeed a talented and maverick superstar. There are no perfect people in the world, and it is impossible to have perfect people. Therefore, I don't care much about the negative news of domestic violence. Everyone has different thoughts at each time. What does it matter?

Like many blockbusters with historical themes, Braveheart is also dismissed by historians. Because there are too many mistakes, of course, as an ordinary movie fan, a shocked and moved audience, it doesn't matter. Because one The film expresses the meaning that it wants to express and interprets the exciting and heart-shaking spiritual theme. That's enough. Do you have to think about its script, its photography from a seemingly professional perspective when watching a movie, Is it acting? I think it’s a bit unnecessary. There is no perfect person, and of course there will be no perfect movies.

Speaking of Braveheart’s actor, I love Sophie Marceau when I was young. Her appearance and temperament are gone. Can be picky. What is impressive is the film "Days on the Clouds" directed by the master Antonioni. There are also "Anna Karenina", "A Midsummer Night's Dream". By the end of the day, he has entered the works after 40 years old. "The other side of the bed" and so on are all very classic works.

If you have to decide, I think Braveheart is not a historical film, but an inspirational film, it really interprets men, one who is not tempted by money or material Captives, the image of sacrificing for freedom in the true sense, although they can't get rid of the influence of Hollywood's heroic business model, but it is true that this is a real man. And heroes are a very important spiritual food in the United States and even Western countries.

I I still remember those words, and the tears in my eyes a few years ago.
