What does mel gibson mean by "freedom" at the end of Braveheart?
The whole movie is about war, and the theme emphasized by freedom is "freedom".

1, Wallace, the hero of the film, was not a brave warrior willing to fight on the battlefield at first. He has his own plans for the future. He is not a greedy man. He wants to live a simple life, with a wife and children and a happy family.

To Wallace's surprise, the invasion of England broke his minimalist life. Later, he had his own lover, but in the cruel reality, he lost his beloved. In order to avenge his beloved wife, he was involved in the war against the British colonists. Wallace longed for freedom, so he led the people who also longed for freedom and were willing to fight the British army in order to defend their homeland, and did not lift slavery in England.

3. The war intensified and the form never improved, but he still refused to give up any chance to fight for freedom, refused to compromise and surrender, and resolutely accepted torture. When he was executed, the consul also pardoned him for a quick death, and Wallace didn't say a word. The final punishment of caesarean section is also the last moment of his life. He shouted out the last sentence hysterically, which he had been fighting for-freedom! Freedom.

The Creative Background of Brave Heart

Brave Heart is a film based on a true story. The prototype of the film is a legendary hero in English history: william wallace. Brave Heart was adapted from a novel published by Randall Wallace in 1995, and the novel was adapted from Song of Wallace.

When the screenwriter Randall was writing the script, there were few historical materials about william wallace, so Randall created the plot based on the epic recited by the Irishman Il Trovath Henry at the end of 15? .

Randall originally intended to write from william wallace's adulthood, and it was only later that he added the preface to Childhood. According to the first draft of the script, Mullen originally gave Wallace a rose at his father's funeral, instead of the thistle flower shown in the film, but it was later pointed out that the rose is a symbol of Britain and it is very inappropriate to put it in this play with a specific historical background, so it was later replaced by thistle flower.
