Buckle up for this comprehensive Braveheart (1995) Movie Review—a journey into the heart of one of Hollywood's most iconic films.Few films, like Braveheart, have managed to carve a lasting legacy in cinematic and cultural history. Released in 1995, this historical epic directed by and starring Mel Gibson became an instant classic, captivating audiences with its sweeping storytelling, larger-than-life battles, and deeply emotional core. For this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving headfirst into this towering masterpiece, analysing how its themes of freedom, love, and sacrifice resonate decades later. A Hero Rises: The Story of William WallaceAt its core, Braveheart tells the story of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who leads a rebellion against the oppressive English rule of King Edward I. The film opens with a hauntingly serene Scottish countryside juxtaposed with the brutal reality of English occupation. After a devastating personal loss, Wallace transforms from a reluctant farmer into a passionate freedom fighter. Mel Gibson's portrayal of Wallace is both gritty and charismatic, embodying the very spirit of defiance that fuels the film's narrative.The screenplay, penned by Randall Wallace (no relation to the historical figure), balances historical inspiration with a touch of artistic liberty. While purists may critique its deviations from recorded history, the film's emotional truth—its depiction of sacrifice, unity, and resistance—rings powerfully true.Mel Gibson's Vision: Direction and PerformanceMel Gibson's dual role as director and lead actor is one of the film's defining achievements. His direction imbues Braveheart with a sense of grandeur rarely seen in modern cinema. The sweeping shots of the Scottish Highlands serve as a breathtaking backdrop, while the intimate close-ups capture the raw human emotion behind every battle cry. Gibson's commitment to authenticity extends to the brutal, unflinching depiction of medieval warfare, which remains shocking and visually stunning.As William Wallace, Gibson delivers one of the most memorable performances of his career. His impassioned speeches, particularly the iconic "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" moment, are the stuff of cinematic legend. Gibson's portrayal of Wallace is deeply layered, presenting him not just as a warrior but as a man burdened by grief, love, and the weight of his people's hopes.Epic Battles, Epic StakesNo Braveheart review would be complete without acknowledging its jaw-dropping battle sequences. From the clash at Stirling Bridge to the final, gut-wrenching moments of Wallace's sacrifice, the film's action is both visceral and meticulously crafted. Cinematographer John Toll's use of handheld cameras during battles immerses viewers in the chaos, while James Horner's soaring score underscores every charge, every cry, and every victory with haunting beauty.The brutality of the battles isn't just spectacle—it's storytelling. Every sword swing, every desperate shout is a reminder of what's at stake: a nation's freedom and identity. Gibson doesn't shy away from the costs of war, making Braveheart as much about the price of liberty as its pursuit.Themes That ResonateAt its heart, Braveheart is more than just a historical epic; it's a meditation on universal themes that continue to resonate today. The film explores the tension between individual desires and collective responsibility, the sacrifices demanded by leadership, and the unyielding pursuit of justice in the face of tyranny.Wallace's unwavering dedication to freedom, even at the cost of his life, is an enduring symbol of resistance against oppression. It's no surprise that Braveheart has become a touchstone for movements and individuals seeking to inspire courage and change.Cultural and Historical ImpactBraveheart was met with widespread acclaim upon its release, winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Its success sparked a renewed interest in medieval and historical dramas, paving the way for films like Gladiator and The Last Samurai.Critically, Braveheart has faced scrutiny over its historical inaccuracies. However, its ability to capture the emotional essence of the Scottish struggle for independence has made it a beloved cultural artifact, particularly in Scotland, where it helped reignite national pride.Flaws Worth MentioningWhile Braveheart soars in many aspects, it's not without its flaws. Historical purists may bristle at its liberties with the timeline and events of Wallace's life. Characters like Princess Isabella of France are romanticised to the point of fantasy, which can detract from the film's otherwise grounded emotional core.The film's depiction of the English as uniformly villainous has also been criticised for lacking nuance. However, these critiques pale compared to the sheer impact and resonance of the story.Why It Still MattersNearly three decades after its release, Braveheart continues to inspire and entertain. Its combination of grand storytelling, unforgettable performances, and universal themes has ensured its place in the pantheon of cinematic greats. For modern viewers, the film serves as both a thrilling spectacle and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom.In today's world, where the fight for justice and autonomy remains a constant, Braveheart feels as relevant as ever. Its message—that courage and conviction can change the course of history—rings true, reminding us all of the power of a single voice.Final VerdictBraveheart is more than just a movie; it's an experience. From its sweeping cinematography to its heart-pounding battles, from its unforgettable performances to its stirring themes, this film is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling. Whether revisiting it for the hundredth time or experiencing it for the first, Braveheart remains a must-watch for lovers of epic cinema.So, grab your kilts, swords, and courage—this Braveheart (1995) Movie Review is just the beginning of our journey into one of the most powerful films ever made. Tune in to this week's episode of Born to Watch for more insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and passionate discussion about why this film remains an all-time classic.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

William Wallace fue un líder de la resistencia escocesa contra el dominio inglés durante el siglo XIII. Es considerado uno de los héroes nacionales de Escocia y un símbolo de la libertad. Su vida y su lucha inspiraron la película Braveheart, dirigida y protagonizada por Mel Gibson. Wallace nació alrededor de 1270 en una familia de terratenientes. Se desconocen muchos detalles de su infancia y juventud, pero se sabe que recibió una educación y que hablaba varios idiomas, incluido el latín. También se cree que participó en algunas escaramuzas contra los ingleses, que habían invadido Escocia en 1296. En 1297, Wallace lideró una rebelión contra el rey Eduardo I de Inglaterra, que pretendía someter a los escoceses a su autoridad. Junto con Andrew Moray, otro caudillo rebelde, Wallace derrotó a las tropas inglesas en la batalla de Stirling Bridge, una de las más famosas de la historia escocesa. Wallace fue nombrado Guardián de Escocia y continuó su campaña contra los ingleses, llegando a invadir el norte de Inglaterra. Sin embargo, su éxito fue efímero. En 1298, Eduardo I reunió un gran ejército y se enfrentó a Wallace en la batalla de Falkirk, donde los escoceses fueron derrotados. Wallace renunció a su cargo de Guardián y se dedicó a la guerra de guerrillas, tratando de mantener viva la resistencia. En 1305, Wallace fue capturado por los ingleses cerca de Glasgow. Fue llevado a Londres, donde fue juzgado por traición y condenado a una muerte cruel. Fue colgado, descuartizado y decapitado, y sus restos fueron exhibidos en diferentes partes del reino como advertencia. Wallace no vivió para ver la independencia de Escocia, que se logró en 1328 con el tratado de Edimburgo-Northampton. Sin embargo, su legado perduró en la memoria colectiva de los escoceses, que lo veneraron como un mártir y un héroe. Su espíritu rebelde y su grito de guerra "¡Libertad!" siguen resonando hoy en día como un ejemplo de valentía y patriotismo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Episode geeklist Come join the new Wargames To Go (and Boardgames To Go) discord server https://discord.gg/vxEG9bMPdx Guess what? This little podcast is now ten years old. I'd been doing my other one about euro boardgames even longer, and in 2013 I decided to branch off this other show about wargaming. I'd started in this hobby as a kid wargamer in 1979. I never completely left it, but my hobby in the 1980s, 90s, and early 2000s shifted more to roleplaying, Magic: the Gathering, and then euro boardgaming. It wasn't until around 2010 or so that I finally realized what countless wargamers before me did--that I could enjoy wargaming as a (mostly) solitaire hobby, getting more games to the table. I started acquiring more titles, especially magazine games, and became interested in specific topics to explore via multiple game treatments. Then I added my love of travel and movies to make my own contribution to wargame podcasts, Wargames To Go. Thanks for listening! I had plans to go see Scotland back in 2016, but those had to be cancelled. Then it was put off for a few years, a worldwide pandemic happened, yadda-yadda-yadda...and finally I got to visit this country in 2023. My wife & I enjoyed two weeks there--the first in the cities of Ediburgh & Glasgow, followed by a second week in the countryside (Strathspey and up to Orkneys). There was much to see & enjoy, from stone age settlements to whisky distilleries. And there were sites of military history. I really enjoy visiting battlefields to get a feel for the location. Sometimes the accompanying museums are good--other times not. Best of all is when there is a good guide available. Even if not, though, these days it's easy to read so much information online, to watch battlefield animation videos, and more to get a fuller sense of the historic event. On this trip we visited the sites of Bannockburn, Culloden, and from Stirling Castle I could look out over the Stirling Bridge area. I don't think anyone really knows where the Roman battle of Mons Graupius took place, but I probably drove near it. As you can tell, the topics here are not limited to one battle, one war, or even one era. I decided to dabble in all areas of Scottish military history that I could, at least as far as wars actually in Scotland. The big three eras are Roman contact, the Wars of Scottish Independence (Wallace/Bruce/Longshanks), and the Jacobite Uprising. Other periods such as the Battle of Flodden Field or the Border Reiver period are mentioned, but we'll see if I get to any of those games. This episode is a intentionally shorter than some previous ones. I'd rather post a couple smaller episodes that wait longer for a gargantuan one. I figure it's easier for listeners to follow along this way, too. As a result, I haven't yet seen all of the films nor played all of the games that I intend to. It's an introduction to the topic, and I'll return later with a conclusion.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=484LE GUERRE DI INDIPENDENZA SCOZZESILa cornice storica del film BraveheartLe guerre di indipendenza scozzesi furono una serie di campagne militari combattute tra il Regno di Scozia e il Regno d'Inghilterra a cavallo tra XIII secolo e XIV secolo.La Prima Guerra (1296-1328) iniziò con l'invasione inglese della Scozia nel 1296, e terminò con la firma del Trattato di Edimburgo-Northampton del 1328.La Seconda Guerra (1332-1357) iniziò con l'invasione di Edoardo Balliol, sostenuta dall'Inghilterra e i "Diseredati" nel 1332, e terminò nel 1357 con la firma del Trattato di Berwick.Le guerre furono parte di una grande crisi nazionale della Scozia e il periodo divenne uno dei momenti più determinanti della storia della nazione. Al termine di entrambe le guerre, la Scozia mantenne il proprio status di nazione indipendente.Le guerre furono importanti per altre ragioni, come la nascita dell'arco lungo, arma fondamentale nella guerra medievale.LA BATTAGLIA DI STIRLING BRIDGELa battaglia di Stirling Bridge fu una battaglia della prima Guerra di indipendenza scozzese combattuta l'11 settembre 1297. Le forze di Andrew de Moray e William Wallace sconfissero l'esercito inglese condotto da John de Warenne e Hugh de Cressingham (morto in battaglia).Questa battaglia fu una tremenda sconfitta per gli inglesi e dimostrò che in determinate circostanze la fanteria poteva dimostrarsi superiore alla cavalleria. Ci volle tuttavia del tempo prima che la lezione venisse completamente compresa.L'11 settembre 1297 vide una decisiva vittoria per Wallace e gli scozzesi a Stirling Bridge. Nonostante fossero in ampia inferiorità numerica, le forze scozzesi guidate da Andrew de Moray (un importante nobile, in quanto primogenito), e con Wallace come capitano, misero in rotta l'esercito inglese. L'esercito di professionisti del Conte del Surrey, forte di tremila cavalieri e 10.000 fanti, andò incontro al disastro quando attraversò il fiume da nord. Il ponte era troppo stretto perché molti soldati potessero attraversarlo assieme (probabilmente non più di tre uomini affiancati), così mentre gli inglesi attraversavano, gli scozzesi li attesero e li uccisero man mano che passavano.I soldati inglesi iniziarono a ritirarsi mentre i loro compagni dalle retrovie spingevano in avanti, e sotto un peso eccessivo, il ponte crollò, facendone affogare molti. All'insaputa dell'esercito inglese caduto nel panico, parte delle forze scozzesi aveva guadato il fiume più a monte. Con l'esercito inglese diviso sulle due rive del fiume, le due forze scozzesi pressarono le due metà dell'esercito inglese verso il fiume. Fu una vittoria schiacciante e un'enorme iniezione di fiducia per l'esercito scozzese. Hugh Cressingham, il tesoriere di Edoardo in Scozia, venne ucciso nel corso della battaglia. Successivamente alla vittoria, Wallace venne nominato cavaliere e Guardiano di Scozia il 13 marzo 1298.Questa battaglia rappresentò il punto più alto della carriera di Wallace, ed essa venne sempre ricordata nelle rappresentazioni che lo riguardavano. Nel film Braveheart è chiamata semplicemente "la battaglia di Stirling" ed è stata girata omettendo il ponte.LA BATTAGLIA DI FALKIRKUn anno dopo, comunque, la situazione si rovesciò. Il 15 giugno 1298 gli inglesi avevano invaso la Scozia a Roxburgh. Saccheggiarono il Lothian e riconquistarono alcuni castelli, ma non riuscirono a far scendere in campo Wallace. Gli scozzesi avevano adottato una strategia di terra bruciata e gli errori commessi dagli addetti ai rifornimenti lasciarono gli inglesi con scarso cibo e morale basso, ma la ricerca di Wallace da parte di Edoardo si sarebbe conclusa a Falkirk.Wallace aveva posizionato i suoi lancieri in quattro schiltron - formazioni circolari a riccio, circondate da un muro difensivo di pali di legno. Gli inglesi ottennero un vantaggio attaccando per primi con la cavalleria, e seminando la morte tra gli arcieri scozzesi disposti fuori delle formazioni difensive. I cavalieri scozzesi fuggirono e gli uomini di Edoardo iniziarono ad attaccare gli schiltron. Non è chiaro se il fattore decisivo fu il lancio di frecce e pietre da parte della fanteria, o un attacco portato dalla cavalleria.Ad ogni modo, si aprirono presto dei varchi negli schiltron e gli inglesi li sfruttarono per annientare le ultime resistenze. Gli scozzesi persero molti uomini, ma Wallace riuscì a sfuggire, anche se il suo orgoglio e la reputazione militare ne vennero gravemente danneggiati. Alla fine di settembre del 1298 Wallace aveva deciso di cedere il titolo di Guardiano a Robert Bruce, conte di Carrick, e a John Comyn di Badenoch, il fratellastro dell'ex sovrano John Balliol. Bruce si riconciliò con Edoardo nel 1302, mentre Wallace respinse questa decisione di fare la pace. Egli trascorse un po' di tempo in Francia, in una presunta missione diplomatica.William Wallace riuscì a sfuggire agli inglesi fino al maggio 1305, quando Sir John de Menteith, un cavaliere scozzese leale a Edoardo I d'Inghilterra, lo catturò nei pressi di Glasgow. Dopo un processo sommario, le autorità inglesi lo giustiziarono atrocemente il 23 agosto 1305, a Smithfield (Londra), nella maniera tradizionale riservata ai traditori: egli venne impiccato e quindi squartato. La sua testa venne infilzata su un palo e posta sul London Bridge. Il governo inglese espose le sue membra, come si usava allora per i condannati a morte, nelle città principali: Londra, Newcastle, Berwick, Edimburgo e Perth.

-Who was William Wallace? 1270[3] – 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the First War of Scottish Independence. Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. He was appointed Guardian of Scotland and served until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305, Wallace was captured in Robroyston, near Glasgow, and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason and crimes against English civilians. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/humanitymatters/support

Despised by the English, mistrusted by the Scottish nobles, revered by his countrymen: William Wallace is synonymous with the battle for Scottish freedom. But scratch away at the legend, and even the most basic details are disputed. Where he was born, who he married, what he did after his famous battle at Stirling Bridge. Thanks to the brutal nature of his death, he doesn't even have a grave. What can we really know about the man immortalised by the poets? Was he anything like the warrior depicted in ‘Braveheart'? And what does his legacy tell us about the people of Scotland who idolize him to this day? This is a Short History of William Wallace. Written by Jo Furniss. Sponsored by BetterHelp.

They met at a small river, called the Bannock Burn. Subscribe to us here on your favourite podcast channel, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @bitesizebattles

Brits learn the hard way, again, that they don't always win.

The most instantly recognisable and most revered Scottish patriot of all time takes some time to talk to you about William Wallace..!! Part One 'Guardian of Scotland' tells Wallace's story from when he 'raised his head' in 1297 through his victory at Stirling Bridge and defeat at the Battle of Falkirk just a year later

FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM! We're talking about one of the greatest movies of all time including a breakdown of Stirling Bridge, fake horses, and...Robin Williams?

The end is here! And like William Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, we were ready. The S&P notches its worst week since 2008 as the Coronavirus engenders fear throughout the world.All that we have done in the year of this great podcast has led to this moment.

  We have been following the @StirlingBridgeR  (https://twitter.com/StirlingBridgeR) Twitter account and the amount of data, the research we have come across that they have published on MetalNRG PLC (LON: MNRG) Gold Ridge in the USA has been staggering. Offering a Tenement Mapping and Research Services we could not fail to notice the wealth of information being published. We contacted Kenny who is involved with Stirling Bridge Resources (https://twitter.com/StirlingBridgeR) and he has kindly put together a podcast highlighting some of his personal research. MetalNRG PLC (LON:MNRG) Rolf Gerritsen, CEO & Christian Schaffalitzky Interview (https://www.share-talk.com/metalnrg-plc-lonmnrg-rolf-gerritsen-ceo-christian-schaffalitzky-interview/) The ultra high-grade sample from the pillar boulder (https://www.share-talk.com/metalnrg-plc-lonmnrg-gold-ridge-update-2/) , at 115 ounces per tonne, is an indication of the potentially high-grade gold retained in the pillars, and as a near term revenue source pillar processing conducted safely could provide material and early revenue stream for the Company.

This episode of the podcast returns to Scotland for a look at the environmental history of Flanders Moss, a raised peat bog west of Stirling. John Harrison, a historian from Stirling, reveals why the moss is the product of millennia of human use and exploitation. In addition he will address the questions what the moss looked before human intervention, why large parts of the moss were cleared during the 18th and 19th centuries, and some of the environmental consequences of the clearance. The podcast will also dispel the myth that the moss was once an impassible barrier, with Stirling Bridge the only place where it could be crossed. Finally, the history of Flanders Moss during more recent times, including a proposal to mine the peat to fuel a power station, and its role in the 21st century as the largest raised bog in lowland Scotland will be briefly discussed.
