BRAVEHEART was the best movie of 1995, winning 5 Oscars and
re-establishing the historical epic as a film genre, paving the way for
the successes of Gladiator and Lord of the Rings that
followed.
BRAVEHEART reached a global audience with its powerful re-telling of the
almost forgotten story of William Wallace and his struggle to defend
Scotland's freedom.
Described as the 'the most politically
influential movie of the 20th century', it also had a part to play
in the political change that swept Scotland, mobilising public opinion
to aid the return of a Scottish Parliament after a gap of 300 years. |
