    Basically in line with history, the British Isles at that time a total of more than a million people, the king to fight a war to send a few thousand troops, the king at that time was almost all the head of the soldiers, the army was mainly to plunder the civilians. At that time, the European continent was indeed much more developed than England, otherwise Britain would not have served as the jurisdiction of the Gallic Bilgae king, Rome, Saxony, Denmark, and the Duke of Normandy in France in the first 2,000 years, and was always conquered by the powers from the mainland, and by 1214 London was burned down by the French in the name of conquest of vassals.

    Well, it's basically in line with historical facts.

    You should understand that Scottish society under the British Crown was very unproductive and the people were struggling to death.

    The gap between the aristocracy and the pauper, between England and Scotland, is only slightly exaggerated.

    In the dark Middle Ages, the real darkness was the darkness of the mind, and their spiritual world was shrouded in the rule of Catholicism, I don't feel how simple Edward's palace was, theirs was a castle, because it was easy to defend, not like we in China would generally build palace complexes, so you may think it was a bit rudimentary. The simplicity of the Scottish aristocracy is deliberately portrayed in the movie, which creates a conflict between England and Scotland.

    "Brave Earth's Heart" first hooked me on Mel Gibson, who brilliantly executed the indomitable spirit of William Wallace.

    Faulkirk's defeat marked the end of Wallace's military career, and he resigned as Lord Protector at the end of 1298 and never led his troops into battle again.

    Wallace was succeeded by John Conyer, who had abandoned him on the battlefield of Falkirk, and Robert the Bruce, a young second Earl of Kerrick, and the Scots' revolt continued. Edward I made five expeditions to Scotland in 1299, 1300, 1301, 1303 and 1305 (Note 9). The enormous cost of the Scottish Wars was a heavy burden on England's finances, with the Battle of Caravaroc alone costing £13,528 alone.

    Despite this, the "Long Feet" still forced the Scottish nobles to submit one by one with the extreme cruelty of "killing, burning, and robbing everything". In May 1305, William Wallace was captured in Glasgow by Sir John de Mainz, a Scottish knight loyal to England. After some torture, Wallace was executed as a traitor by the English in Smithfield, London.

    His head was hung from London Bridge for public display, and as a warning to the Scots, his limbs were sent to Newcastle, Berwick, Edinburgh and Perth in Scotland. On 7 July 1307, at the age of sixty-eight, Edward I died on his way to Scotland, his last words were that Prince Edward must carry his ashes in front of the army until the last Scotsman surrendered. Seven years later, Robert the Bruce won Scotland's independence at the Battle of Bannockburn, making Robert the Bruce King of Scotland and William Wallace a Scottish legend.

    The sons of scotland is a song that lasts for more than 6 minutes, showing the scene of the Scots rising up against the British army, during which it is also mixed with the crazy counterattack of the British army, ** here faithfully serving the picture, sometimes restless, sometimes high-spirited, sometimes euphemistic, sometimes agitated. In the second half, the wind and string music interpret the theme of "freedom" and "battle" respectively, while the bagpipes, which have been looming throughout, symbolize the indomitable struggle of the Scots.

    The Battle of Stirling is a proud work that shows Wallace's battlefield career <>: the situation of the Battle of Stirling, starting with drums and bagpipes, and then adding the chaotic and heavy wind music as the background, bringing people into the ancient battlefield of the golden iron horse, in fact, ** itself has an inseparable connection with war, many wind instruments and percussion instruments were used as "war language" and morale tools on the ancient battlefield, including bagpipes. Therefore, the use of musical instruments in this way can be regarded as a return to the origins.

    I still admire Gibson's directing and scene scheduling ability, a war scene that uses no more than 2,000 extras (the real number of troops does not exceed 30,000), but it is shown by the director as if it were a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, which truly shows the feeling of epic, recalling some of the so-called costume blockbusters filmed in my country in recent years, there are not many people, and the scene is not small, but I always feel that something is missing, and then compared with Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", just a few people show the momentum of overwhelming mountains, It seems that it is still a matter of level.

    About the director and composer, there is no need to introduce too much, James Horner (James Horner), the outstanding film score author, most people are familiar with him from the melodious bagpipe sound in "Titanic", and in the previous 1995, Horner has been skillful in the epic film "Braveheart" The use of Scottish bagpipes, the Scottish national ** scum and symphonic soundtrack into one, achieved unprecedented success. It's just that it unfortunately lost to Louis Bakarov's "The Postman" in the 1996 Oscar Best Score, in fact, in terms of overall quality, "Braveheart" is not inferior to "The Postman", and the reason for the defeat may be because Horner had another nominated work "Apollo 13" that year diverted the judges' votes.

    When I watched "Braveheart" back then, I used to be so excited and enthusiastic, but now I don't feel this way. Some people say that this is just a "main theme" blockbuster in the United States, indeed, this film is the skeleton of a commercial film, and it also celebrates American personal heroism, but in any case, such a main theme movie is willing to accept it as an audience, if our main theme movie can also be made like this, why not? <>

    Let's go back to ** itself, like many people, bagpipes are my favorite instrument, I think the notes she plays are very distinctive, which can not only express cheerful emotions, but also interpret sad and sad melodies (such as "Titanic", the tune is extended, reverberatory, and particularly infectious. When I was in middle school, I listened to a tape of James Last in Ireland, a collaboration between James Last and an Irish bagpiper. Since "Titanic" can use bagpipes, then "Braveheart", which tells the history of Scotland, has even more reason to use bagpipes.

    Although the bagpipes are the protagonists of the film, we should not forget the London Symphony Orchestra, without their wonderful performances, it would be difficult to express the heavy and depressing things in this film.
