Braveheart/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The scene where the assembled English army gets mooned by THE ENTIRE NATION OF SCOTLAND.

"They can take our lives... but they can never take OUR FREEDOM!"

  • The final scene, when Robert the Bruce forgoes a losers peace to lead his army against the English at Bannockburn.

"You have bled with Wallace. Now bleed with me."

    • Made all the more poignant by the tiny shift in Hamish's expression; a narrowing of the eyes, a shift of the jaw, telling you that the mood has, in that one line, gone from bitter resignation to undisputed CMOA.
      • And as he does so, he hurls Wallace's sword across the field, before they charge towards the English.
  • When Wallace is being executed, he is offered the chance to cry "mercy" and have the torture stop. When he finally speaks, having remained silent throughout, he only yells "FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOM."
  • When the man who's wife was taken from him on their wedding night claims his right as a husband.
