Trivia:
Mel Gibson was on the set of Ransom (1996) when both Braveheart (1995) and Apollo 13 (1995) were nominated for Best Picture. He pulled a prank on Apollo director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer by giving them an ad in which Braveheart (1995) was considered for 'Best Moon Shot'. The accompanying picture was a shot of the Scottish army mooning the English. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Juxtaposition of the young Murron and her sister at Malcolm and John's funeral. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Narrator: I shall tell you of William Wallace. Historians from England will say I am a liar, but history is written by those who have hanged heroes. The king of Scotland had died without a son, and the king of England, a cruel pagan known as Edward the Longshanks...

This is simply the best movie ever made, containing all the elements a perfect movie should, even considering that every person has a right to his/her opinion. The soundtrack is amazing, the scenes are ingenious and the story is simply excellent! This is a story about a Scotsman named William Wallace (Mel Gibson) and his fight for the freedom of the Scottish people, from the oppression of the English ruler-ship. After seeing the death of his wife at the hands of an English nobleman, William Wallace (Mel Gibson) sets out on a quest for vengeance that quickly turns into a crusade for freedom for the entire "country". The extreme violence as well as the human compassion in this movie are overwhelming in its brilliancy.
