"History is written by those who execute heroes," but the stories of heroes can be handed down orally and told from generation to generation. Whether it is false or exaggerated, people are willing to listen and talk, because every era longs for heroes, and every era needs heroes. What is a hero? "The real warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood" is the hero in Lu Xun's eyes; "the one who creates life regardless of life and death" is the hero in Gorky's eyes; The man of the heart" is the hero in my eyes. Yes, Wallace is undoubtedly a hero, not only his own hero, the hero of Meilun, but also the hero of the Scottish nation.
For a nation, even if it can endure being deprived of liberty as a slave, it absolutely cannot endure the decline of the national spirit! Only with the continuation of the spirit can this country and this nation have the spark of hope. But in the eyes of the pedantic aristocrats who ruled Scotland at the time, there were no people, only money and power. In order to obtain fiefs, titles and even the survival of the nation, they fought and betrayed each other. Fortunately, God gave this nation a chance to redeem itself—a free-spirited, brave and fearless man was born. In the love between Wallace and Meilun, there is the romantic temperament of the Nordic nation. However, the "first night" right of the English nobles completely broke the pure and romantic love between lovers. Originally, I only hoped to live an ordinary and simple life with her, but I didn't expect fate to play a tragic joke with him. It was Meilun's death that made him understand that ordinary people under oppression are imprisoned! Coupled with the influence of the unyielding spirit of his free father, he decided to cut wood into a soldier and raise a pole as a flag, and the whole world gathered to respond. For freedom, for the liberation of the Scottish people, he decided to resist! He decides to fight! Unlike the group of Scottish aristocrats who were struggling to survive and compromising, Wallace would never compromise! Compromise can bring about peace, but compromise also means enslavement, and it is more painful than death for a soul that longs for freedom to be admitted to the shackles. In his eyes, freedom is life! War may take his life, but it cannot take away his freedom. This is a brave heart fighting for freedom. Wallace is full of the innate freedom of the Nordic nation, wild and uninhibited. On the execution stand, Gibson used slow motion to show him brutally. He was tortured in every way and still refused to give in. The last cry of "freedom!" was deep and powerful, firm and arrogant! Let me be here countless times, shocked by the spirit that comes out of his bones, the blood boils in the whole body, and I sigh again and again... When the executioner's hand fell, Gibson used a Upside-down shot: Wallace's clenched handkerchief is reflected in the blue sky, yes, the blue sky, it is a symbol of freedom, and it must be the destination of his soul! I sincerely hope that in his next life, he will be transformed into a bird, able to gallop freely and freely in the blue and vast sky! On the battlefield, Wallace was invincible with his clever mind and heroic combat, which is the inherent bravery and courage of the Nordics. For the performance of large scenes, especially war scenes, people are the most important subject of the picture. The more people, the more coordinated the functions, and the more chaotic the fight, the closer to reality. Gibson's control of the battle scene is mainly in three aspects: the blood and blood are fierce, the violence is tragic, and the soldiers and horses are vast. In addition to this, it also creates a pre-war humorous atmosphere.
As the most promising heir to the throne of Scotland, Robert Bruce was deeply moved by Wallace's spirit and hoped to join him in battle for the sake of the people and the freedom of the nation. In reality, due to the obstruction of his father and nobles, he struggled inwardly and had to make a difficult choice between rights-peace and freedom-war. McAfee has a deep understanding of the character's situation, and has a delicate grasp of emotions, performing a helpless and sincere "King of Scotland". What is peace? Is it worth it for a king to sacrifice everything in pursuit of the "peace" he desires? Conquest and benevolence, who made the rise and fall of a dynasty and its greatness? No matter how ruthless the war is, what it takes away is life, but as long as a nation resists, the war cannot take away their national integrity and noble spirit! Compromise and humiliation, he can keep his life, but what he loses is those qualities that a nation is proud of. From ancient times to the present, human beings have always pursued peace by various means, which may be extreme or humiliating. What have humans gained in these processes? Lost what? Who is right and who is wrong, I believe that only history can tell us the ultimate truth.
