Braveheart
Braveheart is a 1995 historical drama epic film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. Gibson portrays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England. The story is based on Blind Harry's epic poem The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace and was adapted for the screen by Randall Wallace.
The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards at the 68th Academy Awards and won five: Best Picture, Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, and Best Director.
Plot
In 1280, King Edward "Longshanks" (Patrick McGoohan) invades and conquers Scotland following the death of Alexander III of Scotland, who left no heir to the throne. Young William Wallace (James Robinson) witnesses Longshanks' treachery, survives the deaths of his father (Sean Lawlor) and brother (Sandy Nelson), and is taken abroad on a pilgrimage throughout Europe by his paternal Uncle Argyle (Brian Cox), where he is educated. Years later, Longshanks grants his noblemen land and privileges in Scotland, including Prima Nocte (or droit du seigneur, the right of the lord to have sex with female subjects on their wedding nights). Meanwhile, Wallace (Mel Gibson) returns to Scotland and is reunited with his childhood friend, Hamish Campbell (Brendan Gleeson). Wallace falls in love with his other childhood friend, Murron MacClannough (Catherine McCormack); they marry in secret so she will not have to spend the night with the local English lord. Wallace rescues Murron from being raped by English soldiers, but as she fights off their second attempt, Murron is captured and publicly executed by having her throat slit. In retribution, Wallace leads his clan to slaughter the English garrison in his hometown and send the occupying garrison at Lanark back to England.
Braveheart (1925 film)
Braveheart is a 1925 silent film western directed by Alan Hale, Sr. and starring Rod La Rocque. The story focuses on members of a tribe of Indians who are being intimidated by the owners of a canning company seeking to violate the treaty protecting the tribe's fishing grounds.
History
A project by Cecil B. DeMille, initially it is named "Strongheart" after a play written by his brother William C. deMille circa 1904 and produced on Broadway in 1905 as his first major success. A film had been developed in 1914 from it. However, as the success of the play continued, a remake of the film was undertaken. Nipo T. Strongheart, early in his work in Hollywood with Native American topics, was asked to rewrite the movie and he included elements referring to the Yakima Nation and had the hero succeed in preserving Indian fishing rights, a topic of some recent interest. The original movie was 30 min long. and the revised movie was 71 min. However as the project neared completion another "Strongheart" took to film – a canine star. Subsequently the DeMille film was retitled and released as Braveheart. Nipo T. Strongheart played a role in the film playing a Medicine Man and collaborating on the screenplay. A news story covering the work is echoed a couple places – New York, and California. Sometimes advertising for performance-lectures of Nipo Strongheart from then on would have him in Indian costume as well as a scene from the movie where he was dressed in normal attire.

Braveheart
by: ImperiaBraveheart
A flower that got brought by his lady Maud
He just didn't know then that the hand of a still child
Would become his wife in a pact of a secret marriage
Battles for love
Battles for justice
Fighting for freedom
Dying for his belief in love
And his name
Was William Wallace
As a tear drop from the princess face,
Carrying his child
His last words were freedom
With the deepest scar in the heart
In the full crowd his last sight was
Maud as a child
Battles for love
Battles for justice
Fighting for freedom
Dying for his belief in love
And his name
Was William Wallace
As a tear drop from the princess face,
Carrying his child
Galloping horses, shining swords
Living ghosts on an open battlefield
Betrayed by a friend - brought to suffer to death
