In mel gibson's epic film Brave Heart, the most shocking and touching scene is that william wallace shouted "Freedom!" Finally. We owe the magic of that scene to james horner and his music. When he let the powerful trumpet sound occupy the whole stage with the support of other members of the band, we knew that Wallace won in one way or another. This scene is just one of many scenes where music plays a leading role in Brave Heart, so it tells us a story. Another example is the revenge scene after Mullen was executed. Wallace's anger and near insanity are reflected in his music, which consists of shakuhachi, strange sounds, strings, drums and subtle synthesizers. It perfectly matched the action on the screen and the sparse, but incredibly effective sound effects, because Gibson's role was sought and retaliated.

Many people think that Braveheart is Horner's best score so far, and it certainly belongs to the absolute top five of all his scores. It is a great disappointment that the soundtrack didn't win the Oscar, although it is not surprising. James horner's wonderful performance in Apollo 13 was also nominated. This led to the split of the votes, and Luis Bakaloff won the victory he wanted with the score of The Post. Some strange and bizarre consequences are that a composer had better get only one nomination, not two or more.

But back to the brave heart. James horner's soundtrack is the reason why I started listening to movie music. I remember that I was shocked by the music in the cinema, so I decided to pick up the original soundtrack of the movie, and this James Horner played the music. The rest is history ... this music is very suitable for this movie. It is huge, romantic, lush, vast and dramatic. All with Celtic style. James horner used the voice of the julian pipe (which will always be associated with the Titanic) and other typical Celtic instruments. The result is an eternal epic score full of wonderful music.

This music revolves around several different themes. Like this theme, or motif-mostly played by horn-is related to Scots and courage; The wonderful love theme-one of the best themes written by Horner (although people have to admit that it is very similar to the theme in holst's Planets), has got a wonderful interpretation in Love for the Princess. I get goose bumps every time I listen to it.

There are many highlights, but some of the most memorable clues are "The Gift of Thistle", "Secret Wedding", "Mollen's Funeral", "Love for the Princess" and "The Princess Begging Wallace's Life"-all full of romantic and wonderful music, and the latter and the choir-"Betrayal & Desolation"-a fascinating and extremely sad and desperate music that makes me cry every time I listen to it. "Mornay's Dream", a short cue with a surge of adrenaline, with heavy percussion instruments and dramatic brass music, and the last two cues, both about seven minutes long, formed a perfect score and a perfect ending of the score.

The music is conducted by Horner himself, which is always very popular. Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, the choir and soloists of Westminster Abbey such as Tony Sinnigan, Eric Rigler and maik taylor (and Horner) performed and recorded first-rate.

The second soundtrack was released on 1997. It mainly contains bagpipe music and is scattered with sound fragments from movies. However, some new clues of Horner are included, namely "illegal tunes on illegal pipes", "royal wedding", "Scottish wedding music", "elementary serenade" and "Mullen's vision", which makes Horner's previously unreleased music about 7 minutes. Only one must have a real or brave heart, Fan. But acoustic music is essential for any serious movie music fan.

Review 2:

1995' s summer blockbuster seems to have arrived ahead of schedule. It's hard to imagine that any film will be comparable to mel gibson's Braveheart between now and August. With its conflicting troops, gripping action and great romance, this is a movie that is very happy to see and review.

Let me explain my preference first. I am a big fan of epic adventure. In this category, Brave Heart has reached its peak like Cream. This film has many things to praise, especially its ambition. People who see this painting may easily think of Gettysburg, The Last Mohican, Glory and classic works such as Lawrence of Arabia, El Cid and Spartacus. Magnificence certainly exists; However, Gibson gave us not only unforgettable battles, but real people.

Borrowing the works of masters such as sam peckinpah and david lean, the actor and director carefully produced an extraordinary film tapestry only in his sophomore year. Most of the time, the three-hour movie has some dull places, but Braveheart keeps moving from beginning to end-fascinating. When the credits began to scroll, it was hard for me to accept that nearly 170 minutes had passed.

The protagonist is william wallace (Gibson), a hero in Scottish history, and his legend definitely goes beyond the fact (this film acknowledges this in its unique way). In the late/kloc-3rd century, Wallace fought for the freedom of Scotland, brandishing his broadsword and influence to defeat the army of King Edward I of England (Patrick McGoohan), the British monarch who declared himself King of Scotland after the death of his former ruler.

Brave Heart slowly developed to its first climax. Most of the early films focused on Wallace's love for Mullen (played by catherine mccormack). Their courtship is unhurried, but it's all preparation. The real content of the story, including political mechanism, betrayal and dramatic fighting, has not yet arrived. Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty or give me death!" This is probably Wallace's motto. "Without freedom, everything is in vain!" Scottish nobles fought for land and wealth, but Wallace represented the individual and won respect with his words and deeds.

Gibson, a burly man with a long wig, brought his usual charm to the role. Patrick McGoohan, who is famous for TV series "The Secret Service" and "The Prisoner", can hardly be recognized under his snow-white beard. His long-legged Edward exudes a cold threat. He is Wallace's arch-rival, because his wisdom matches his ruthlessness. French actresses Sophie Marceau and catherine mccormack who play Princess Isabel are both very attractive.

Brave Heart is a cruel and bloody film, but the violence is not without reason. Disability, decapitation, and other terrible details make Wallace's world seem real and direct. In addition, there are few dramatic moments when Gibson shows women and children crying for the dead in B. Atfield, which is covered with corpses, to declare their opposition to the war more eloquently. War is a two-headed beast, which depicts both glorious and tragic sides.

Recently, some films have appeared in pairs: two Robin Hood, two Columbus, two Ups, and now they are two highland epics. The first rob roy is an excellent film. However, Brave Heart is even better, it provides an exciting and occasionally touching experience, which makes the audience who leave the cinema immersed in the afterglow of wonder. Nowadays, a hero like william wallace is as rare as this high-quality, uncompromising film presentation.
