Brave heart

There is a famous proverb which is “give me liberty or give me death”.Liberty, in another word, it means “freedom”.Before I watched the film “Brave heart”, my understanding of freedom was very simple.I just thought as long as people could have a full stomach, as long as they could obey the will of rulers, they could also have a happy life.However, there are always some people who don‟t like it.They don‟t want to be slaves.So, they rose in revolt to obtain freedom because they believe firmly it belongs to everyone and nobody can take it away except the god.The hero of this film is called William Wallace.He is the great leader of Scotland.He led Scottish fight with English in order to obtain freedom.However, as a result of traitors‟ betrayed, he was arrested by the England authorities.No matter how the English promised or threatened, Wallace never surrendered.What moved me deeply was the moment when Wallace was executed.He cried out „freedom‟ with all his strength.For freedom, Wallace gave his life.Also, from that moment, my understanding of freedom changed.Freedom is not only means to eat.It is a God-given gift to everyone.That means everyone has the right to resist despotism and tyranny.We are God‟s children, not rulers.Though Wallace died, his spirit encouraged more people in Scotland to continue to fight for freedom.Despite the poor condition and all the difficulties, Scottish people still struggled.And eventually, they won their freedom.I thought if Wallace saw what he pursued succeed in the heaven, he must be very happy.There’s also another thing that moves me very deeply.That is the love between Wallace and his wife Murron.Wallace’s father is also a warrior who pursues freedom and he gives his life to it.That is to say he is killed by English.When Wallace’s father dies, Wallace is just a little boy.At his father’s funeral, Wallace is very sad.However, at the end of funeral, a pretty girl gives him a flower to comfort him.Perfectly, that is a good start ofa beautiful love.When Wallace grows up, he returns his village.God bless, he meets that girl.And they married.However, nightmare begins with English soldiers’ coming.In order to catch Wallace, they kill Murron.The true love is not to hang out together, not to have meals together, not to go to movies together.The true love is when one is facing difficulties, the other refuses to leave himher.So, though knowing it is very dangerous, Wallace goes to the place of execution.For love, Wallace begins the first step of resistance.For love, Wallace is up his hat as a

confidante.That is the responsibility to wife as a husband.If a man couldn’t protect his wife, how could he have the courage to resist the tyranny?

As a outstanding leader, both courage and wisdom are important.But wisdom is the most important.As Wallace’s uncle told him the first thing Wallace should learn is how to use his brain then is sword.So, his uncle took him to many places and taught him many things.He inherited courage from his father but it was his uncle that gave his wisdom.Because of these two things, Wallace is able to be faithful to the

yearning for freedom.This film also broke people’s general idea that heroes were more brave than wise.The last thing I want to say is its episode.It’s so beautiful.When the music rings, my heart seems to be open in the vast grassland.I don’t know what to, but want to run, to cry, to shout and to scream.The Scottish bagpipe is really so melodious and so free.I like this movie very much.It taught me many things.It made me understand the profound meaning of freedom.It made me understand the greatness of human

nature.It made me understand what true love is.William Wallace, the hero in my heart, I will remember him forever and he will encourage me to obtain my freedom and my true love.That’s all.Thank you!

William Wallace, a hero of Scotland

Historical background：

There was a time when the local people in Scotland had to pay the taxes and the beautiful girl’s fist night to English ruler in return for ‘protection’.If the money and the fair lady were not paid promptly, the English gangsters would quickly destroy their home and possesses.One of the most excellent figures in Scotland history was William Wallace, who was born in 1272.When he was young, his father was dead in the war which against with the enemy and he was brought up by his uncle.During that period, William Wallace learned the skill of fight and strategy of the war which make an important role of the later days.......William Wallace unshakable faith touches my heart.Not all the people are stood up to noble, opponents or even die.I admire William Wallace for striving for freedom、his brave and cherishing his woman.Desire for freedom

When William Wallace was child, his father and brother died for a fight.The word “free” first appeared in his mind through a dream that his father told him.(The concept of personal freedom was a concept not much celebrated in 1300)Your heart was free;you needed to have the courage to follow it.A history about hero was begun.William Wallace fought for Scotland’s freedom in the 13th century, as longshanks want to rule a

1country of one that he arranged his son to marry the daughter of his rival, the king of France in order to control the political situation.Longshanks did also Grant nobles prima noctes, first night to draw more of his supporters to Scotland.Seeing their own woman robed by nobles, men could not tolerate these happened in Scotland.As more and more nobles came to Scotland, the local people suffered a lot from it.Wallace's dying cry, as his body was stretched on the rack, was “freedom!” The time had come.William Wallace killed the noble who infringed upon his beloved women.At that moment William Wallace clearly realized that only freedom was primary condition to live a normal life.I remembered a sentence William Wallace said: “I want children and a home and peace.I had asked god for these, but it is all for nothing if you don’t have freedom.” The power of words and strategies, William Wallace influenced suffer people.And more and more people took part in fighting for freedom.His unshakable resolution leaded him to a battle about freedom.As his saying: Wars could take our lives, but they would never take our freedom.His life’s purpose and personal mission statement was to pursue freedom.Brave made one fight against exploiters

Through the cruel wars, He is an amazing battlefield strategist.Facing a major challenge, he refused to be beguiled into surrender.William Wallace is not naturally brave, because fight to the bitter end for peace and freedom.I think his brave heart derive from his childhood when he saw that the nobles’ army hurls rocks at each other for entertainment.Later, when a Scotsman has his wound numb, a saying came from his heart: “That’ll wake you up in the morning, boy!" Just when they thought all hope was lost, William Wallace still believed Scotland would be one and freedom was not so far from them that created his brave heart—Fight for freedom through wars.We can see his brave somewhere in

this film such as routed one of Longshanks’ garrisons and murdered his noble lord.;Fight with the thousands of opponents in a war between English and Scotland;invaded Longshanks’ northern army in Your;fought with Longshanks face to face;consulted with Robert the Bruce about united the nobles to built a country of their own, even knew that would be grey.He was not the one to support the noble’s rights in Scotland’s land, neither the Balliol, William Wallace’s hometown, but fought against exploiters and looked forward to peaceful life.Brave heart was one of the important reasons that aroused people to fight for freedom and peaceful life.I think it was the power that took William Wallace over the fear of death, the fuel that propelled him toward the life you envision.True love under the war

Everyone had his own true love, so did William Wallace.He was crazy in pursuit of love.But it was a pity, because in the 13th the common survived as slaves and they had less right(or even had no right)to do what they want to do, slaved for nobles, died for nobles.Love between William Wallace and Murron moved me to tears.They loved each other.They had their own land.Their love was smashed by invaders’ selfish desire.Poor Murron was the victim in the war, even she was not wrong, but history arranged her dead in the 13th when a fight for freedom just begun.Nowadays, the law has made to protect our right.We can hold fast to our ideal, such as life、job、love or other else.When I see Historical films about love, I always sigh for the sad ending, which the main actor and the main actress separate, not because the ending of love, but for the history.Thanks for William Wallace;I deeply make sense of the love between people included kinship、friendship and affection.In the long history, people fought for freedom、rights and land all the time.Today we are free, but how many people dare to pursue his love or ideal, and how many people see his

relatives、friends or the one he deep in love getting on a train and going away.I think we should take measures to defend our true feeling and follow it.The love between William Wallace and Murron was wonderful because they had strived for each other.William Wallace, a hero of Scotland, was excellent in Scotland history.His brave heart、unshakable faith about fighting for freedom and love have never influencing the young generation less.His heart will go on.

Review of Braveheart

The film entitled Braveheart,which tells of the story of Sir William Wallace ,a Scotland’s hero in 13th century to protest against the cruel king of England, Edward I.Although the reason is seemingly a romantic revernge for his fiancée who was killed by an English landlord.The struggle was so fierce ,bloody and magnificent that any spectator can not come to himself or herself after seeing a series of campaigns that were shown in the movie and we are most touched by the desire for freedom of Sir William Wallace on the last scene of his execution ,in which William’s sky blue eyes were shone as bright as the sky ,a metaphor for the freedom which is hopeless but the determination was never abandoned in pursuit for it.However,one cannot stand the spiteful rebellion of the Scottish nobles and just imagine Wallace’s disbelief and shock when he got to know that the knight of Edward I,who is most

willing to kill him in the battlefield,is the one who is most likely

to become the king of Scotland,the man who swore to stand

alongside with Wallace from the majority of the Scotland’s

aristocrats who suspected Wallace and kept looking down

upon him.Wallace had presumed that he was his companion

but the reality just showed the just opposite side of Wallce’s

naïve dream and both the hero and the audience cannot bear

this betrayal from the bottom of their heats.But Wallace still chose to believe,to tolerate and to take an

adventure which led to his death and the end of this poetic

struggle while meantime ,setting in motion another more

intensive campaigns by those who carried on Wallace’s dream

to realize the freedom of Scotland.Wallace’s death is like the

ringing of the bell in the darkness of midnight,announcing that

dawn should be cast upon the ones who never halt to pursue

freedom sooner or later.The scene which showed Wallace’s calling for freedom,while

the executor’s axe moving ,the clouds floating,the wicked

king’s last breath and the judge’s disappointment out of

expectation.“Every man dies, not every man really

lives.”Wallce’s last words echoed in the midst of the air,despite

the physical death and the passing of the decades of years.The real meaning of braveheart lies on that not only we do

not dare to encounter the rivals and the unfair,but also the

courage to tolerate,to resist the temptation to give up in

despair ,to face the genuine aspect of ourselves.Trust,belief,struggle,determination,betrayal and of

course ,the love epic ,are the images we can associate with

this marvelous film and we cannot urge our passion to extol

Wallace,our hatred for the wicked Edward I and those both

mentally and physically delicate Scotland’s nobles.Given the

fact that both these two nations are now sections of the United

Kingdom,The film reminds us of the love for one’s own motherland the

desire for freedom,which is the gifted nature since mankind

was born with and we shall never be scared of any

obstacles ,frustrations and sacrifices in our fight for

freedom ,the goal generations of all classes,eras and races

have been longing for and we shall never be in shortage of the

courage to gain freedom.(534 words)October 29th.2010

《勇敢的心》影评

----电影与历史

XXX

中文摘要：《勇敢的心》是一部悲壮的、融合血泪传奇史诗片。在1996年第68届奥斯卡金像奖角逐中获得最佳影片、最佳导演等5项大奖。影片根据14世纪末发生在苏格兰的真实事件改编而成。故事主人威廉〃华莱士，不但确有其人，而且他的英勇事迹更使得他成为苏格兰的民族英雄。

关键词：威廉〃华莱士自由民族英雄

廉·华莱士——神话与历史

（一）．扑朔迷离的身世

现存的大部分有关威廉·华莱士的记载都集中在1297年9月11日他带兵取得斯特灵桥（Sterlingbridge）战役的辉煌胜利到1298年7月22日在福尔科克（Falkirk）败于英王爱德华一世这段时期内。而关于他的身世，则是疑云重重的。那么华莱士究竟是一位草莽豪杰还是一位骑士英雄呢？在14、15世纪苏格兰的编年史作家中，只有盲哈里和沃尔特·鲍厄（WalterBower）赋予其笔下的华莱士以显赫的骑士身份。其他人，如福尔顿的约翰

（JohnofFordun）和安德鲁·温顿（AndrewWyntoun）等都不讳言华莱士相对寒微的家庭出身，但他们显然不想给予这个问题以过多的关注，只是加以描绘他所拥有的雄健体魄和天赋神力。至于电影《勇敢的心》，似乎也倾向于后者的处理方式。实际上，“华莱士”（Wallace）并不是苏格兰当地的姓氏而是一个绰号，最初的含义是“从威尔士边境地区来的人”。据史料记载，12世纪时，华莱士家族的祖先作为亲兵跟随布列塔尼裔的斯图亚特家族

（theStewarts）从英格兰的什罗普郡来到苏格兰。自戴维一世（1124－1153）以后，斯图亚特家族世袭了王室管家一职，并在苏格兰西部的伦弗鲁郡、拉纳克郡及艾尔郡拥有庞大的领地，是权擅一方的大贵族。而华莱士家族作为斯图亚特家族的封臣也得到了苏格兰西南部的一些采邑。根据盲哈里所说，位于伦弗鲁郡的埃尔德斯利正是威廉·华莱士的出生地，他在附近的佩斯利修道院接受了童年教育。青年时代的华莱士曾居住在艾尔郡的里卡顿，这里是他叔叔理查德的领地。华莱士在成年后的首次惊人之举就是在拉纳克郡杀死了英格兰的郡守。照此看来，华莱士崛起于苏格兰的西南部并与斯图亚特家族保持着密切关系，这一点应该是没有多少疑问的。

（二）．英雄与美女

历史上是否真的有这么一位玛丽安·布莱德福特是大可疑问的。因为除了盲哈里提到的这些涉及华莱士私人感情生活的零星片段之外，其他的编年史和传记作家都对此只字不语。后世甚至有人指出，“玛丽安·布莱德福特”与哈里一个邻居的名字很相似，怀疑是被诗人借用了。其实在《华莱士之歌》中，类似这种移花接木、“掠他人之美”的例子并不鲜见。

盲哈里是在华莱士家族后代（克雷吉的威廉·华莱士爵士）的资助下完成大作的，由此可以想见，不论是出于精神上的由衷崇拜，还是出于客观的经济原因，诗人必然会在创作过程中竭力铺叙事迹，以完成后人崇功报德之心愿。然而不论玛丽安·布莱德福特存在与否，看上去“为情复仇”的说法都是不成立的。因为早在1296年8月，拉纳克郡的一份法律判决文书上就出现了“威廉·华莱士，盗贼（WilliamleWaleys，thief）”的字样。追源论始，拒绝对英王宣誓效忠应该是华莱士在1296年就背负恶名的肇端。在爱德华一世看来，1296年夏季对苏格兰的首次征服是强弱判明、毫无悬念可言的。邓巴战役后，苏格兰的大小贵族之所以在“拉格曼文件”上署名，表示效忠英王，承认其为苏格兰至高无上的领主，目的就在于换取爱德华一世对他们现有领地及封号的默许。事实上，不管其父臣服与否，如果威廉本人不向爱德华一世的“新英格兰王朝”输诚，他是决不会享有对家族领地和封号的继承权的。爱德华一世派驻拉纳克和克莱德斯戴尔的郡守海瑟尔里格握有苏格兰西南部的司法审判权，并着力惩戒像华莱士这样拒绝效忠的“叛乱分子”，这必然引起后者的强烈不满和愤恨。另外，盲哈里和安德鲁·温顿都在著作中提到，此后不久，华莱士的父兄就因反叛而遭毒手。果真如此，势必坚定了华莱士拿起武器、与英格兰人殊死一搏的信念。

（三）．与罗伯特·布鲁斯

1286年亚历山大三世的暴毙以及随之而来的坎莫尔王朝的绝嗣是引发苏格兰国内政治动荡和英格兰入侵的导火线。1290年－1291年间，13个有皇族血统的候选人向英王爱德华一世提出了“王位大诉讼”（theGreatCause）。这场王冠之争实际上主要是在约翰·巴利奥尔（JohnBalliol）和罗伯特·布鲁斯（RobertBruce）之间展开的。布鲁斯与斯图亚特通过土地分封和联姻在苏格兰西部形成了庞大的家族关系网。他们虽然在与巴利奥尔的王位角逐中败下阵来，但自始至终也没有放弃对王位的要求。在巴利奥尔统治期间（1292年－1296年），他们一直是以“麻烦的制造者”而闻名的。1296年后爱德华一世的征服战争对他们来说不失为一个东山再起的绝好机会。既然华莱士对巴利奥尔王朝忠心不贰，那么他对一直觊觎王位的布鲁斯家族必然是充满疑虑和警惕的。而布鲁斯家族之所以早早选择站在爱德华一方，无非是想借助英格兰人的力量打击巴利奥尔派以再图王位，因此华莱士的忠诚与威望对他们而言也是一种威胁，两者可谓“道不同不相为谋，终难水乳”。有的历史学家甚至怀疑正是罗伯特·布鲁斯出卖了华莱士，因为在1305年捕获华莱士并把他交给英格兰人的门蒂斯的约翰（JohnofMenteith）后来成为了罗伯特一世的宠臣。15世纪时，斯图亚特王朝詹姆斯三世所奉行的亲英政策再次引起了苏格兰民族主义情绪的强烈反弹。在此背景下，威廉·华莱士和罗伯特·布鲁斯（罗伯特一世）的历史地位被人为地拔高，就此成为全民景仰的民族英雄。在这个英雄神话的创造过程当中，约翰·巴伯的《布鲁斯之歌》与盲哈里的《华莱士之歌》同样功不可没。为了凸显两位英雄在精神上的一致性，他们于著作中虚构了这样一个情节：在福尔科克，当兵败的华莱士撞见了站在英格兰人一边作战的布鲁斯时，痛斥他的胆怯和懦弱。华莱士的一席话有如当头棒喝，唤起了布鲁斯心中沉睡已久的反抗意志。从这以后，布鲁斯力补前愆，回到爱国主义阵营中，并在华莱士殉难后继承他的遗志，继续领导抗击英格兰入侵者的斗争，最终赢得了独立战争的胜利，建立起布鲁斯王朝。说到这，读者不难发现，电影《勇敢的心》也是完全照搬了这一幕。

（四）．情节回顾

面对审判，华莱士表现得镇定自若，坚决否认自己的行为是叛国。在他心目中，他是独立的苏格兰人，当然不承认英格兰王室拥有对苏格兰领土的主权。长脚已经濒临死亡，可他仍在喘息着，不看到这个对手的悲惨下场，他就死不瞑目。

是夜，王子妃前去探望，开始希望他能够认罪，以得到开恩砍头了事。当她知道华莱士不可能接受这样的劝告时，给了他一瓶麻药。

一旦拒绝认罪伏法，华莱士将要面对的是刀钩掏挖内脏的酷刑，这和中国的凌迟没有本质区别，濒临死亡的时间相当长，痛苦非人想象。王子妃的意思很明白，如果他一定要坚持为自己的理想献身，她希望至少可以在最大程度上帮助他，让他死得不至于那么惨烈。“喝了它，它能减轻你将遭受的痛苦。”王子妃哀求道。

“不，它同样会令我神智不清，我不想在麻木中死去。„„”

在王子妃泪流满面的哀求下，作为安慰，华莱士终于当她面喝下了那液体，却在她离开之后，吐掉了口中的麻药。

华莱士在囚房中祷告：“我非常害怕，请赐给我力量，让我就死从容。”原来他是这样恐惧！原来他并不肯定，自己能否抵受那一惨痛！

怀着对这类影片一贯的信任，英雄不会在最关键的末尾让人失望，我看下去。„„华莱士囚于马车，从看热闹的人群中间经过，浸没在飞来的垃圾和恶毒的叫骂声中，他坦然自若。被吊上绞架，又在咽气前夕放下，面对主刑官袍上的皇家徽章，他爬起来还是沉默不语。直到在绞轮架上拉得关节脱臼，又到刑床上剖割，华莱士一直没有屈服，哪怕是发出一下呻吟„„

喧嚣的人群在他的坚忍中，渐渐静默。终于，一个女人禁不住替他叫出了求告：“Mercy!" 一个声音带动了所有人的知觉，“开恩”呼声在人群里扩散，越来越高„„连躲在人群中的战友都不忍心看他继续承受这样的折磨，痛苦地低声道：“求你叫出来吧，就说一声也好，只要一个词，开恩„„”

主刑官不断怂恿着，当他以为华莱士终于要开口，说出那个让他保留一点征服者虚荣和尊严的词时，示意执刑者停止用刑。

在所有人窒息般的等待中，华莱士倾尽全力长呼：“自由!”

第五篇：影评--勇敢的心

《勇敢的心》影评

课堂上看《勇敢的心》这部作品，是我第三次看了，因为它让我百看不厌。看了勇敢的心，很有触动，曾经为之动容过的诸位，一定不会忘记，威廉华莱士在临死前的“Freedom”。这呐喊所引起的震撼，配合着背景音乐，经久不息，直到影片的尾声。影片中有许多小细节，让我思索了很久，甚至，那些细节给我带来的影响，远远超过影片高潮“自由！”让我们再来回顾一遍，看看历史的长河，如何造就英雄，也许你会从自己身边发现，生活中一直存在着他们的影子。剧情简介

《勇敢的心》又名《情世未了缘》，它以13-14世纪英格兰的宫廷政治为背景，以战争为核心，讲述了苏格兰起义领袖威廉•华莱士与英格兰统治者不屈不挠斗争的故事。威廉•华莱士童年时，其父、苏格兰民族英雄马索•华莱士在与英军的斗争中牺牲，他开始接受父亲好友的指导，学习苏格兰文化和武术。青年华莱士（梅尔•吉布森）学成回到故乡，向美丽的少女梅伦求婚，不想梅伦被英军抢去且遭杀害。在广大村民“英雄之后”的呼声中，华莱士率众揭竿起义。

一、童年启蒙的影响

华莱士并不是天生禀赋异人的英雄。其父——苏格兰民族英雄马索•华莱士在与英军的斗争中牺牲。直到他看见父亲和兄长的尸体，还有淋漓的血。他在父亲的坟前忧郁，年幼的莫伦在众人离去时奔回来，给了他一朵蓟花。这时，华莱士流泪了。他终于知道了死是什么，那是意味着失去熟悉的亲切，不再拥有温情。影片中他的叔父是个智者，他比死去的兄弟更理解抗争的目的和意义。他要华莱士学习拉丁语，告诉华莱士，在学会用武器前，必须先学会用脑，更重要的是通过拉丁语理解上帝的所在，真理才赋人予自由。幼小的华莱士在梦中和父亲对话，父亲对他说：“心是无法禁锢的，拿出勇气去追求！”这无疑是对生命意义的最早启蒙。

二、凄美但追求自由的爱情

华莱士从国外归来了，回到故乡，他就热切地亲吻久别的气息。与老友重逢砥砺的喜悦和参加他人载歌载舞的婚礼，让他都没有意识到，在他国统治下的短暂美景，从来也不可能摆脱蹂躏的阴影。

长大的他回到了自己的家乡，遇到了自己心爱的人——美伦，希望和她一起的过平安的生活，然而英格兰对当地的暴政却干扰了他们的生活。也因为他与美伦的一起为她带来了灾难，美伦被当地驻扎的士兵迫害处死。这也忽然激发起华莱士的斗志，有一股巨大的精神力量推动他，他要为他死去的爱人战斗，也要带领当地的人民取得自由。美！不是吗？那蓝色的忧郁眼神，那无畏的坚毅面庞，那深刻而温柔的感情，那执着而坚定的理想，无一不美！这是男人的美，这是英雄本色的美！这种美让任何一个经历过它的女人折服，无条件的爱上他。

三、为自由而反抗的责任

英军的跋扈在众人企求和平的忍耐下激增，连还没有足够地位和资格享受初夜权的那个英格兰老兵都觉得，自己对于苏格兰人当然可以为所欲为。因为反抗污辱，莫伦被杀害了。华莱士在海湾没有等到他的爱人前来汇合，逃离这个世界。他的理想主义生涯也就此结束，除了悲愤而起，他再没有继续欺骗自己的理由。

那时的他还依然称不上是第一个觉醒者。他只是第一个没留住爱人生命的不幸者，由于不幸而反常，违背了自己向往的生活原则。他的率先回击就赢得了响应，那是久忍屈辱的大爆发。众人为他的勇气而激励，放弃了苟且偷生，投入战斗，而华莱士也正是被投奔者的热情激励，思考起自己的责任。

他不能舍弃众人的信任，更看到了起义背后鼓舞人心的真正目标：生活的自由。没有对生活的热望，成就不了一个热血男儿。

四、高呼“自由”的震撼

面对审判，华莱士表现得镇定自若，坚决否认自己的行为是叛国。一旦拒绝认罪伏法，华莱士将要面对的是刀钩掏挖内脏的酷刑，痛苦非人想象。是夜，王子妃前去探望，开始希望他能够认罪，以得到开恩砍头了事。当她知道华莱士不可能接受这样的劝告时，给了他一瓶麻药。王子妃的意思很明白，如果他一定要坚持为自己的理想献身，她希望至少可以在最大程度上帮助他，让他死得不至于那么惨烈，但华莱士拒绝了。一样是捍卫自己的信仰，总之是个死而无悔，何苦要拒绝没有痛苦的了断？

主刑官不断怂恿着，当他以为华莱士终于要开口，说出那个让他保留一点征服者虚荣和尊严的词时，示意执刑者停止用刑。在所有人窒息般的等待中，华莱士倾尽全力长呼：“自由!” 暴君在这一瞬瞪目死去，战友在这一刻垂睑泪下，刽子手在这一刹莫名失望„„我在这时候禁不住激动，哽咽中，看到了一个英雄的诞生。也只有这样的人，才能超脱民族、阶级、立场、时代等等的局限，赢得广泛的敬慕和认同，历史长河不息，影响。

五、对自由呼唤的感动

从他骑着高大的黑色骏马出现在混乱的高地军队前，蓝色的油彩涂在他坚毅的脸上，风吹起他金色的头发，飞扬的发丝印证着他的宣言“他们可以夺取我的生命，但是永远也不可能夺去我们的自由！”到当他揭开那个神秘人的头盔发现他竟然就是自己惺惺相吸的贵族罗拔的时候，他的眼里充满了绝望和不可置信的震惊。再到他被处死的前夕，他也会恐惧，他也会颤抖，他也会默默地呼唤爱人的名字，祈求她赐予他勇气，让他完成英雄的使命，这个男人是真实的，伟大的。他的勇敢和真诚，对于自由的渴望，是每一个人的愿望，我们需要这种感动，这就是电影的神奇力量，让人置身其中，感受那些我们不曾有的生活，感受那些我们渴望已久的情感迸发。华莱士骑马在苏格兰军队前发表战前宣言的那个片断；两军厮杀，鲜血浸染的那些场景；在刑场上，华莱士以全身的力气喊出““freedom”那一刻；在电影的结尾，华莱士的剑被战友抛向天空，划过苍穹的那一瞬间，都是完美的煽情点。苏格兰风笛沧桑遥远的意境里，那个英雄在山野间奔驰，永不停息„„这些段落是没办法不被感动的。

《勇敢的心》一直被视为一部悲壮的、融合血泪传奇的史诗片，在影片中，人们常常为苏格兰那丝手帕延的山脉、凄婉的风笛和苏格兰人民在贫困痛苦中发出的凄厉呼号所感动，也为华莱士一往无前的精神所鼓舞。这是一颗永远搏动的心，鼓舞着当时所有为自由而战斗的勇士；这是一团永不熄灭的火，引导着之后所有走上寻求自由之路的人们。
