As the saying goes: life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is freedom, both can be thrown away. In the past, I always felt that freedom was too light, not worth comparing with life, life is gone, what is the use of freedom? But today, because of this "Braveheart", I have a new understanding of freedom.
What is freedom? Not only must the will be free, but the body and mind must not be enslaved. And why is Scotland free to talk? From nobles to commoners, there is no freedom at all. The nobles compromised on "Long-legged Edward" because of immediate interests such as land and titles. They did not realize that they were enslaved at all, and they continued to enslave the commoners in Scotland to make a fortune, so unhappy. Although they seem to be free, in fact they have been enslaved, the enslavement of their hearts. Different from the enslavement of the body, the enslavement of the heart is an invisible shackle, which can only be led by the nose forever. This is the tragedy of freedom. The commoners are physically enslaved, and their minds and wills are free, but although their minds are free, because of the cowardice in the heart of the Scottish people and their fear of the nobles, their freedom seems to have become an extravagant hope. Fighting for freedom is a free person, but their faith in fighting has long been wiped out by cowardice. Fear has bound their free heart, and a nation lacking freedom can only be slaughtered.
Your heart is free, have the courage to pursue freedom. This is Wallace's father's expectation and admonition to little Wallace in a dream. No freedom is tantamount to walking dead, and without the courage to pursue freedom, that person is even more failed and sad. Freedom is God's best gift to mankind. The reason why Wallace is invincible and invincible is because of this free heart, and the free heart is the power of Wallace's bravery. The free heart stems from his father's fearlessness and dreams.
At first, Wallace chose to return to his small village in Scotland. Although he had a free heart, what he pursued was not the great freedom of Scotland, but the small freedom of retreating to the countryside and living a happy life. When he was a child, his father resolutely devoted himself to the freedom of the country. He didn't want to repeat his father's tragedy, so he chose to escape from the world.
Meilun, picking wildflowers to comfort a little girl of Wallace at the funeral of her father and brother. At that time, Wallace remembered this lovely girl when he was young. His childhood love was always so simple. When Wallace returned from his studies , The two hit it off and wanted to retreat to the countryside, but one event changed Wallace's life. This may be because the gods are not beautiful, or it may be destined.
The restoration of the right to the first night is the strategy of "Edward Long-Legs" to conquer Scotland. The temptation of the right of the first night made many nobles in England rush to the Scottish territory, and the small village where Wallace is located is also one of their stationed territories. The lord came to the village and took the newly married bride. In order to prevent Meilun from being defiled, Wallace secretly found a priest to witness the marriage and completed the wedding. But the next day, something happened that changed history or changed Wallace's life. An English soldier wanted to rape Meeren, but was bitten by Meeren, and then Wallace rushed out to fight them and let them Meilun first ran away on horseback and agreed to meet on the hill, but when Wallace came to the hill, Meilun was nowhere to be seen. As soon as the scene changed, Meilun was tied to a pillar, and an English official was reprimanding the people, and then cut Meilun's slender neck, and all this was only to lead out the rebellious Wallace, and then Wallace was the leader. Hongyan was furious and killed the group of soldiers, thus embarking on a journey to fight for freedom. The reason for the transition from small freedom to great freedom is the restoration of the right to the first night, the taking of the bride in the village, the random rape of the peasant girl, the indiscriminate teaching of civilians after the incident, and the deprivation of life and death, all of which are the fuse of the uprising.
The villagers then elected Wallace as their leader. And as the son of a hero, he was the perfect person to lead the war for freedom. In addition, he was brave and wise in battle, and it was the great prosperity of Scotland. Wherever there was Wallace, England would be defeated.
The Scottish hero Wallace fought a series of victories, but was finally sent to the execution field by the deceitful heart. Before going to the execution ground, he was betrayed twice by his pig-like teammates, but without their betrayal, it seems that he would not be on the execution ground!
It is often heard that Wallace's long legs see him so fierce. Instead of confronting him, he used tricks to pretend to send the queen to make peace with Wallace, but behind him he gathered three forces of Welsh archers, the main French army, and the new Irish army to prepare. Destroying Wallace, the pure Wallace was kept in the dark. Fortunately, the queen informed Wallace privately in time, and finally allowed Wallace to escape the tragic ending, but he still lost in the end. , the fault lies in the servile nobles. In this battle, Wallace first turned the Irish infantry into allies, and then used rockets to make the cavalry scrambled and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they personally went into battle and fought a lot of the enemy's horses. The victory was so close, only two of the Scottish nobles needed. Join the army and they will win in the end. But the cowardice in the hearts of the nobles, the compromise with the long legs, and the temptation that cannot be overcome, made them turn their heads and leave, abandoning Wallace regardless of the danger, and finally being shot by the long-legged archers.
This battle ended Wallace's winning streak, and also ended Wallace's last hope for the Scottish aristocracy. Monet and Rockland's rebellion, he was heartbroken but not desperate, but the betrayal of the Scottish prince Bruce, he completely Desperate, tears are rolling, heart is bleeding, lying powerless in the grass, what freedom, what life at that moment? Everything doesn't seem so important anymore.
Allied with England to rule the whole of Scotland, this is the exhortation of Bruce's dead father to him, and through this battle of betrayal, Bruce also realized that he must fight for the freedom he never had, and he will never be wrong again. team. Yes, the freedom that has never existed before, the so-called alliance is nothing but a compromise of enslavement and survival, the establishment of a Scottish nation is the real freedom, and this freedom requires the blood of countless heroes who fought for it.
Wallace was the first hero to pay the price of death. The cunning of the long legs is really not ordinary. If he can't do it, he will design another one. He heard that Wallace is interested in the queen, so he wants to invite Jun into the urn and let him die. It's a pity that he was overheard by the queen's maid, and then secretly informed Wallace and helped him escape. Unfortunately, Wallace always has another disaster after one disaster. Maybe this is the common fate of all heroes! The Scottish nobleman invited Wallace to the Hongmen Banquet, knowing that it was the Hongmen Banquet because he believed in the Crown Prince Bruce, and that joining forces with the nobles was the only hope to defeat England, he finally decided to attend the banquet, and the result was another betrayal. This betrayal led him to the execution ground, to death. However, death could not restrain his desire for freedom. Although he was tortured, she still refused to succumb to the long legs. When he was tied to the scaffolding and faced death, the cry from his heart resounded in the sky of England.
The battle of Bannockburn broke out on the day in 1314 that Bruce pledged his allegiance to the King of England and accepted the canonization of the King of Scotland, and he was the one who launched it. He inherited Wallace's free will. Remember, freedom can be passed on. When you have a free heart, then you will have brave actions, because the true meaning of bravery is a free heart.
