The last time was the Scottish National Uprising. This time it was the American Revolutionary War.
The last time Wallace revolted after the death of his wife. This time, Benjamin rebelled after losing his son.
Last time it was nomads in Scotland, this time it was an untrained militia.
The last time he relied on his own wisdom to repeatedly defeat the English army. This time, the "ghosts" generally took the red shirts directly.
The same Mel Gibson interprets different heroes from different nations, but interprets the same theme - freedom.
Wallace's ending was bleak, while Benjamin was much more fortunate. He lost his two eldest sons, but in exchange for victory in the war, and the liberation of the United States by Washington soon after.
Benjamin didn't have to face the executioner like Wallace did, and he didn't have to shout on the guillotine. But he also has such echoes in his heart.
