Mel Gibson called Clint Eastwood to ask what it was like to act as the Director and the lead on the same film. However, Braveheart and Unforgiven are totally different. Braveheart is about one hundred times better than Unforgiven.
The story is compelling and has redeeming value. William Wallace begins to fight because of pure hate but it turns into a desire for freedom that fuels his quest. Gibson does a great job as Wallace and the score is excellent as well. The film editing was very well done too. I (Joel) had seen the movie before so I paid special attention to the editing and detail in the battle scenes and it was impeccable. Overall, the movie is one of the best that we've seen so far.
Callie
Favorite: I loved the fact that the movie is honorable and inspiring.
Least Favorite: I didn't like the fact that Wallace gets together with the Princess in the end. He never loved her and it doesn't add to the story.
Joel
Favorite: I love the fact that Wallace desires freedom for his fellow Scots that he is willing to be tortured for it.
Least Favorite: I wish that Wallace would have made a quicker turn from being driven by hate to being driven by the desire to be free.
