England's brutal king, Edward "Long-Legs", ruled Scotland. William Wallace's father and brother lost their lives fighting against the English notice. After the funeral, Wallace left his hometown with his uncle.
Wallace is back as an adult.
He develops a romance with his childhood sweetheart, Morun. In order to avoid the "first night power" of the king's filthy nobles, the two of them got married in secret one night. The next day, Moren was molested by English soldiers and lost his life. Wallace and many villagers revolted and defeated the local nobles.
Wallace and the militia formed the rebel army, and many patriots joined his team, working hard for national liberation and freedom. Seeing victory in sight, the militia led by Wallace was betrayed by the nobles of the country. Finally on the guillotine.
Patriotism, freedom and love are the emotions that this film conveys to me the most.
The whole film takes the brutal social domination as the background, takes Wallace and his wife's love as the clue, and permeates the Scottish people's love for their motherland everywhere.
When Wallace pulled out his nunchuck and smashed the disdainful soldier on the head, he was destined to be the leader of a great uprising. Courage and wisdom, as well as his deep love for his wife, are his bargaining chips.
Rough mountain roads, harsh environment, simple food. Just because everyone has a heart that pursues freedom, they form an inseparable group. They discussed together, fought together, and raised their skirts on the battlefield to demonstrate to the enemy. No battle can be both comedy and tears. When Pastor Mo Yang's old man struggled to drag one after another and sacrificed his allies, it was obvious that the viewers' hearts were turbulent. When women, children, and old people search for their husbands, fathers, and sons on the battlefield, did they arouse a little conscience of the villainous nobles?
Profits are more important to the greedy and rights to those in power than the lives and freedom of the people. Even now, it is.
The Princess of England is a person who deserves much respect in this film. An unhappy marriage, a cowardly husband, a cruel emperor, this kind of life still keeps her with a kind heart. Perhaps it was love at first sight for Wallace, but this seemingly out of line behavior added a lot to her. She tipped Wallace against her husband's suspicions, and played a more or less positive role in the war.
When Wallace was being tried in prison, he chose to keep silent and stick to his little wish, which was indeed a big burden.
When Wallace was exhausted and weak on the execution platform, he shouted "FREEDOM" with all his strength, holding his wife's silk scarf in his hand.
It was the cry of life, the longing of countless Scottish people, the longing of all oppressed peoples.
Freedom has a price, and for this rare freedom, it is also at the expense of life. I hope this blood can dye more sincere hearts red.
No matter what the result is, at least I have tried my best to not regret that I have not been free in my life when I am sick decades later.
We are also constantly striving for our true freedom.
