Mel Gibson

Hi ellonge,
Yes I saw it at the Cinema the first time and it was very crowded in there and we had to stretch our necks like Giraffes to be able to see it. It was in Spanish with English subtitles. It was no shouting hey I´m English lol. The sound was way too loud also so it spoiled it quite a bit.
In Spain they are usually very noisy in the Cinema so if you get to see the whole of it you are lucky.
Regards.

Hi Ldyjarhead,
Thanks for your comments I don´t have a lot of time on here so I will get around to doing somethings.
I really like Mel Gibson too have always liked his other Films.
It´s a film you can get wrapped up in and Mel does a beautiful Scottish accent considering he´s no a Scot och away with yer now lol.
All the supporting cast were outstanding too specially Patrick McGoohan should I say the late Patrick McGoohan who played Longshanks the wicked English King.
I thought the whole setup of the Film was excellent and the music also well that wraps this up.
Have a great summer everyone.

Hi joygracia,

Again thanks for posting a comment. I´m not able to see how English People feel about this Film specially those from my Hometown. But there you go it´s nice to hear from other People around the world.
Braveheart is based on a true story and it never fails to move me at sometime in the Film and I cannot bear to watch the very end because I always want them to live being a big softy. It´s very inspiring the music tells a story if you listen to it. Scotland is as beautiful as it comes out at the beginning of the Film where the narrator says I will tell you a Story of Man called William Wallace. Scotland very green and beautiful lakes.
Thanks again have a great summer too.
Regards.

Hi djaaumthemoneymaker,
Thanks for your post. I now have Braveheart in Dvd in English so at long last I can hear real English.!!!
Wallace is my favourite and also Longshanks is too because he´s so unbelievably wicked that you cannot imagine him being for real although from what I read up about him he was a very wily and scheming crafty character.
Apart from his Son being like that he had according to History left a load of "other Sons" around the Countryside of England and Scotland.
But you cannot put Braveheart on all the time so I usually watch it when no one is getting the Tv Set what I mean by that is they´ve got the Tv all to themselves. I also would give it 10 out of 10 too they fully deserved all the nominations and Oscars and awards given to them.
Right have to go now have a great Summer.
Regards.

Hi tweet007121,

Mel Gibson´s other Movies are great too but I don´t have any of them at the moment in English except for the Braveheart one and it took me ages to get hold of it in the Store. They had to send away specially for it with it being in English. If you hear it in Spanish it spoils a good part of the feeling of the Film because there are no Scottish Accents the dialogue is also changed too and the meanings.
There is not one Movie of Mel´s that I don´t like but this particular one is my favourite.

Regards.

Hi Christina504,

Glad to hear from you thank you. I like that Longshanks and his Merry Men because Longshanks in real life was just the opposite of what he was in the Film. He always liked playing Baddies and he relished this role. He really got his teeth into it he almost made me jump when I could hear those footsteps going up the Stairs to have a go at his own Son. He was fearsome.!!!
You are right and I am with Wallace too I have distant relatives in Scotland and Ireland but not because of that. I agree with Wallace and his ideas and his ability to rally an army around him in spite of the apalling poverty they endured all their lives. Man of courage in the face of adversity and well written by Randall Wallace also.
However at School this is not what comes out in the History Books lol the English History Books when I was at School branded him as evil.
There again I´m not into politics at all my theme is just the Film itself.
Regards.

Hi comfort51,
I got the same feelings as you did, when Gibson was excuted. Also I had tears in my eyes at that time, and was so moved.
Gibson is a great actor and I support him forever.

Hi comfort51,Mel Gibson at the end of the Film Braveheart is not something I watch very often as I like nice endings in a Film and not that cruel atrocity that took place. Because I don´t want to cry I don´t usually see it I watch Mel. Gibson right up to the end where the princess is pacing up and down in the Castle and Longshanks is living his last moments and that´s it. Have a great day.

Hiya bunnybon7,

So terrible that I cannot bring myself to watch Mel. Gibson agonizing and all the crowd watching him too how horrible. Mel. Gibson is one of my passions too I´m afraid I´m not in love with him but I know how your daughter feels because he is compelling he gets you tangled and entranced with his performance. Mel. Gibson has a wonderful Scottish accent I just don´t know how he manages that one the continuity you would actually believe that he is a Scotsman.
I usually switch the Dvd. back to where he was with the Princess and that for me is a lovely ending to it all. There you are he won Longshanks but what a price to pay.
Take care all.
