This work of Mel Gibson shows the highest degree of classical romance I have seen in a film, man fighting for freedom in a world where all you have to do is what you think is right. It's so pure, so beautiful and melodic while being a great medieval war epic that has tons of action and violence and the one scene of nudity for some reason haha!
I really enjoyed it and seeing this film against something that prides itself on being bombastic like the recent Gladiator movie which I have only seen the trailer of, plus the numerous generic action movies just yells to me that they don't make films like this anymore. By "this", I mean one that doesn't embrace it's ultraviolence or it's ridiculous plot but one that embraces it's grounds of romance and just siding with the good in a battle against evil. I would love to know what you guys think and that if i'm just mistake and haven't seen more films
Would love some recommendations as well that are like Braveheart
I would recommend Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, it hits the sort of romantic good versus evil sort of film. It's also a total banger.
Thanks! Isn't it a comedy as well?
Yes! It's a sort of action-adventure comedy (kinda like the Mummy but a bit more serious, that's the closest analog I can think of). I think it's a genuinely it's a stand-up film. It's also got Alan Rickman and Morgan Freemen doing their thing in it. The cast is surprisingly stacked.
Sounds really cool, I'll give it a look
