hero of the bush

This film is not as exciting as I expected, although the scene is grand and the story is epic. Naturally, I was not as moved as I expected. As a film that won five awards including Best Picture and Best Director in the 68th Academy Awards competition in 1996, it was not satisfactory.

First of all, as far as Wallace is concerned, he is a bit of a reckless hero. Since he is reckless, in my opinion, it means a little bit of bravery, and he is a typical individualistic hero in European and American culture. He can rush into the enemy's army as if he is no one, but it is still somewhat lacking in uniting the surrounding as a king. In the film, after a war was won, in the face of the conflict between the commoners and the nobles, he immediately turned around and left. At that time, an idea popped into my mind, that he was an out-and-out idealist who only did what he liked. Do what you do, do what you are obsessed with, and you can choose to ignore other things. He moved forward on the road of his own ideals, but neglected that the formation of ideals also requires analysis of the current situation.

He has some blind trust in the nobles, and his pursuit of human nature is relatively sunny. It is the kind of partner who is absolutely loyal in the arena, but sooner or later will be destroyed by fire. I remember that in "Xiao Shiyi Lang", the old Jianghu said that when I have been an old Jianghu for so long, it is too much to be too loyal. It was quite shocking when I saw it at the time, and it was enough to say it.

That beautiful Princess Isabelle, um. . The Chinese people's thinking is more traditional, and they think that this is not a man who likes two women at the same time, although it can be explained that Wallace saw the shadow of the goddess in his heart from the second woman. but. . . Still a little awkward. . I still feel a little uneasy about this. This woman is also intelligent and instrumental. When Princess Isabelle first met Wallace as a messenger, the king asked her what she thought of Wallace, and she replied a mindless barbarian, and the king had no doubts about him. When Princess Isabelle visited the prison, she threatened the prison guard, saying that the old king was weak and that the prince was a douchebag who couldn't help him. Who do you think will rule the whole country in the end? The means can be seen, and it can be regarded as the wisdom of the female leader.

In the film, the game between the commoners represented by Wallace and the nobles represented by Rob reflects the class struggle of the insurgent army. It seems that every peasant uprising has to face this problem, the struggle between the lowest level of the common people and the upper level rulers, the scramble for interests. In the film, the nobles are satisfied as long as they get a little benefit, and Rob still chose to sacrifice Wallace even in the face of a strong psychological struggle. That, although, in the end, Wallace died, as if he suddenly discovered The freedom that I long for.

In the film, what I like more is the Scottish bagpipes that have been haunting, very beautiful, very broad, and I like it very much~~
