A movie review by James Berardinelli

The crown jewel of 1995's summer blockbusters appears to have arrived early.It's hard to imagine any motion picture released between now and August matching Mel Gibson's Braveheart for spectacle.With its clashing armies, heartstopping action, and grand sense of romance, this is the sort of film it's a pleasure to see and review Let me state my preferences up front.I'm a big fan of the epic adventure, a category in which Braveheart, like cream, rises to the top.There's a lot in this film that's praiseworthy--not the least of which is its ambition.Those viewing this picture may be easily reminded of Gettysburg, The Last of the Mohicans, Glory, and such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, El Cid, and Spartacus.The grandeur is certainly present;nevertheless, Gibson gives us not only memorable battles, but characters of real substance.Borrowing from masters like Sam Peckinpah and David Lean, the actor/director has crafted an exceptional cinematic tapestry in only his sophomore effort.Most of the time, three hour movies have a few flat spots, but Braveheart is constantly on the move--riveting from start to finish.When the end credits began to roll, I was hard pressed to accept that nearly 170 minutes had elapsed.The title character is William Wallace(Gibson), a hero of Scottish history whose legend has surely outstripped fact(in its own unique way, the film acknowledges this).Wallace fought for Scotland's freedom in the late 13th century, wielding his broadsword and influence to defeat the forces of King Edward I(Patrick McGoohan), the British monarch who had declared himself king of Scotland upon the former ruler's demise.Braveheart builds slowly to its first gritty climax.Much of the early film concentrates on Wallace's love for Murron(Catherine McCormack).Their courtship is unhurried, yet this is all preparation.The real meat of the story, which includes political mechanations, betrayal, and dramatic battles, is yet to come.Patrick Henry once said, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” That might well be Wallace's motto.“It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom!” The nobles of Scotland fight for land and riches, but Wallace stands for the individual, and earns respect with words and deeds.Bulked up and wearing a long-haired wig, Gibson brings his usual wealth of charisma to the title role.Patrick McGoohan, best known from TV's Secret Agent Man and The Prisoner, is almost unrecognizable beneath a snowy beard.His Edward the Longshanks exudes an aura of cold menace.He's a worthy foe for Wallace because his intelligence matches his ruthlessness.Sophie Marceau, the French actress who plays Princess Isabelle, and Catherine McCormack are both immensely appealing.Braveheart is a brutal, bloody motion picture, but the violence is not gratuitous.The maimings, decapitations, and other assorted gruesome details make Wallace's world seem real and immediate.In addition, few theatrical moments make a more eloquent statement against war than when Gibson shows women and children weeping over the dead on a body-littered battlefield.War is a two-headed beast, and both faces--the glorious and the tragic--are depicted.Lately, certain films have come in pairs: two Robin Hoods, two Columbuses, two Earps, and now two Highlander epics.Rob Roy, the first, is a fine motion picture.Braveheart, however, is better, offering an exhilarating, and occasionally touching, experience that has viewers leaving the theater caught up in an afterglow of wonder.These days, heros like William Wallace are as rare as motion picture displays of this high, uncompromising quality.《勇敢的心》

Set in the late 13th century, 'Braveheart' is the story of one of Scotland's greatest national heroes Sir William Wallace.leader of the Scottish resistance forces during the first years of the long, ultimately successful struggle to free Scotland from English rule...Crucially charismatic in the title role, Gibson plays the heroic figure and emerges as a remarkable hero with wit and romantic soul, determined to rid his country of its English oppressors...Wallace's revolution was set in motion, with great obstacles from his countrymen...Many Scottish nobles lent him only grudging support as most of them were more concerned with wealth and titles than the freedom of the country...In fact, the Scottish leaders are in favor of revolt-or not-depending on English bribes...Wallace, by comparison, is a man of honor, incorruptible and righteous...He was knighted and proclaimed 'guardian and high

protector of Scotland,' but as much as he railed against the Scottish nobles, submitted to Edward I, King of England, he was astonished and in shock to discover the treachery of the leading Scot contender for the throne—Robert, the Earl of Bruce—to whom he

confided , 'The people would follow you, if you would only lead them.' Sophie Marceau is exquisite as the distressed princess Isabella of France who ends up falling in love with Wallace, warning him out of several traps...Catherine McCormack is a stunning beauty who ignites Wallace's revolution...Patrick McGoohan is chilling, brutal, and vicious as the ruthless Edward I, known by the nickname 'Longshanks.' This king remains simply the embodiment of evil...While Angus McFadyen moves as a nobleman torn between his conscience and political aspiration, and Brendan Gleeson brings strength and humor to his role as the robust

Hamish, David O'Hara is very effective as the crazy Irishman who provides much of the film's comic relief from even the most tensed moments...Mel Gibson has reason to be proud of 'Braveheart.' It is a motion picture that dares to be excessive...Gibson presents passionately the most spaciously impressive battles(yet staged for films)even excessively, and it is his passion and excess that make the motion picture great...The horror and futility of massed hand-to-hand combats are exciting rather repulsive...It is epic film-making at its glorious best...Gibson's 'Braveheart' focuses on the human side of Wallace, a character so immense, so intelligent, and so passionate, exploring the definitions of honor and nobility, pushing us to follow the hero into his struggle against injustice and oppression...

第二篇：勇敢的心 英語影評

Mel Gibson's “Brave heart” is a full-throated, red-blooded battle epic about William Wallace, the legendary Scots warrior who led his nation into battle against the English in the years around 1300.It's an ambitious film, big on simple emotions like love, patriotism and treachery, and avoids the travelogue style of so many historical swashbucklers: Its locations look green, wet, vast, muddy and rugged.Not much is known about Wallace, known as Brave heart, except that according to an old epic poem, he unified the clans of Scotland and won famous battles against the English before being captured, tortured and executed as a traitor.Wallace's dying cry, as his body was stretched on the rack, was “freedom!” That isn't exactly based on fact(the concept of personal freedom was a concept not much celebrated in 1300), but it doesn't stop Gibson from making it his dying cry.It fits in with the whole glorious sweep of “Brave heart,” which is an action epic with the spirit of the Hollywood swordplay classics and the grungy ferocity of “The Road Warrior.” What people are going to remember from the film are the battle scenes, which are frequent, bloody and violent.Just from a technical point of view, “Brave heart” does a brilliant job of massing men and horses for large-scale warfare on film.Gibson deploys what look like thousands of men on horseback, as well as foot soldiers, archers and dirty tricks specialists, and yet his battle sequences don't turn into confusing crowd scenes: We understand the strategy, and we enjoy the tactics even while we're doubting some of them(did 14th century Scots really set battlefields aflame?).Gibson is not filming history here, but myth.William Wallace may have been a real person, but “Brave heart” owes more to Prince Valiant, Rob Roy and Mad Max.Once we understand that this is not a solemn historical reconstruction(and that happens pretty fast), we accept dialogue that might otherwise have an uncannily modern tone, as when Brave heart issues his victory ultimatum to the English: “Scotland's terms are that your commander present himself in front of our army, put his head between his legs and kiss his---.” Uh, huh.In the film, Wallace's chief antagonist is King Edward I(“Long shanks”), played by Patrick McGoohan with sly cunning;he is constantly giving his realpolitik interpretation of events, and that's all the more amusing since he's usually guessing wrong.Edward's son, the Prince of Wales(Peter Hanly), is an effete fop who marries a French woman only for political reasons.“I may have to conceive the child myself!” Long shanks says, and indeed, under the medieval concept of prima note, or “first night,” nobles were allowed a first chance to sleep with the wives of their lasers.The Princess, played by the French actress Sophie Marceau, does not much admire her husband, who spends most of his time hanging about moon-eyed with his best friend(until the king, in a fit of impatience, hurls the friend out the castle window).Edward, smarting from defeats, dispatches the Princess to offer his terms to Brave heart, but soon she's spilling all the state secrets, “because of the way you look at me.” The Princess is the second love in Wallace's life;the first, his childhood sweetheart Moron(Catherine McCormack), marries him in secret(so the local English lord won't claim his rights).The two spend their wedding night outdoors, and the backlit shot as they embrace gains something, I think, from the frost on their breaths.These characters come from hardened stock.(When Wallace has a reunion with his childhood pal Hamish, they hurl rocks at each other for entertainment;later, when a Scotsman has his wound cauterized, all he says is, “That'll wake you up in the morning, boy!”)It is sometimes seen as an

egotistical gesture when actors direct themselves, especially in heroic epics costing(so they say)$53 million.The truth is, given this material, I do not know that anyone could have directed it better.Gibson marshals his armies of extras, his stunt men and his special effects, and creates a fictional world that is entertaining, and thrilling.And as Brave heart, Gibson plays his role with flamboyance, and cuts it with sly humor.He is an amazing battlefield strategist, inventing new strategies and weapons, outsmarting the English at every turn, leading his men into battle with his face painted blue, like a football fan.There is a scene where he is so pumped up with the scent of battle that his nostrils flare;not many actors could get away with that, but Gibson can.

第三篇：勇敢的心影評

影片講述了一個13世紀(jì)蘇格蘭人華萊士不斷成長，追求自由，為自由獻(xiàn)身的動人故事。

在華萊士還是一個小孩子的時候，他是懵懂的。他想追隨父親和哥哥去作戰(zhàn)，但他內(nèi)心并不明白為何而戰(zhàn)。父親陣亡后，小華萊士躺在父親的遺體旁，想象父親經(jīng)常對他說的那句話“你的心是自由的，要有勇氣追求自由”，長大后的華萊士“謹(jǐn)遵”了父親的教誨，只想自由自在的生活，因此回到了村子，找到兒時給了他莫大安慰的夢中情人，只想與她結(jié)婚生子，共度余生。

可是天不遂人愿，殖民者對他們的壓迫更加嚴(yán)重了，最后他的妻子慘遭殺害，他憤怒的為妻子報了仇，并成了村子里的領(lǐng)袖。但是這時他的思想還是不夠成熟，對自由的認(rèn)識還是不足夠。從這樣一個例子可以看出，另一個村子里的人想追隨他一起抵御英格蘭人，但是他說：“回家去吧，我們當(dāng)中的一些人已經(jīng)卷入了戰(zhàn)爭，已經(jīng)沒法回頭了，但你們不必卷入戰(zhàn)爭”。這幾句話，反映了他這么做只是被逼無奈，并未理解了自由的真諦——自由要用自己的雙手去捍衛(wèi)。

可是隨著戰(zhàn)爭的繼續(xù)，他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的人越來越多，他的思想才真正成熟。從華萊士說的兩處話可以充分反映出來，第一處，“請問，高貴意味著什么，你的爵位讓你能有資格成為蘇格蘭國王，可人們不追隨有爵位的人，他們追隨勇者，現(xiàn)在人們都認(rèn)識你，大家都尊重你，如果你領(lǐng)導(dǎo)蘇格蘭人民奔向自由，他們就會追隨你，我也會的”。第二處“封地，爵位還有黃金，你要把我變成猶大嗎？奴隸就是這么來的”。他懂得了自由不只是可以安穩(wěn)的活著，更是靈魂的自由，并且要有能

力去捍衛(wèi)自己的自由。這以后的一切，他都是以這些為中心去做的，最后用的生命捍衛(wèi)了自己的信仰。

這個電影雖然以自由為中心，但也包含了對人性的思考。舉其中一個例子，由于父親的欺騙，導(dǎo)致布魯斯第二次背叛了華萊士。布魯斯沖到父親的房間憤怒的質(zhì)問他，可是他親的回答讓他無話可說“你自己甘心受騙，你心里一直清楚要發(fā)生什么事”。是啊，布魯斯一直知道父親的想法，他能猜測的到父親會這么做的，只是他不愿面對自己的內(nèi)心，也可以說為自己成為國王找一個心安理得的理由。我們又何嘗不是這樣，總是不敢真正面對自己的內(nèi)心，如果我們可以與自己的心靈對話會發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來一切都是借口。

總體來說，這個電影真的很給力，思考是漸進(jìn)的，不突兀，讓人們?nèi)菀桌斫猓雌饋砗芩?。另外，里面的配樂做的真的很好，從一開始就被里面的音樂感染了。

第四篇：《勇敢的心》影評)[模版]

《勇敢的心》

悲傷但不沉淪，蒼涼卻透著希望。

影片開始，巍峨的雪山之巔在眼前徐徐展開，伴著空靈的音樂如霧般彌漫，似水般流淌，悲傷但不沉淪，蒼涼卻透著希望。

一個個溢出的音符，帶著蘇格蘭潮濕的霧氣，敲打著觀眾的心，一下又一下。心被無邊的蒼涼淹沒，隱隱地痛著，溢滿了憂傷，淺淺淡淡，綿綿不絕。在即將跌入谷底時，有一股堅定的力量，將心穩(wěn)穩(wěn)地托起，耳畔仿佛聽到了激昂的吶喊。閉上眼，似乎置身于蘇格蘭廣袤的原野上，一輪血紅色的落日透著蒼涼。霞光映紅了整個天際，是落日長河的意境。夜，悄悄地降臨，光明似乎漸漸隱沒了。但，別忘了黎明。一聲聲動人的吶喊越來越響，激蕩著人心，憂傷已被希望替代，噴薄而出的旭日，沖破了厚厚的云層帶來溫暖的光芒，似溫柔的手拂過曾經(jīng)的傷和痛，消逝了刀光劍影。喧囂漸退，一切又歸于最初的平靜，藍(lán)天下的草原一片祥和。

看《勇敢的心》，略過萬馬嘶鳴殺聲震天的戰(zhàn)場，體味著蘇格蘭人飽受壓迫的苦楚，目睹勇士們?yōu)榱俗杂啥鴳?zhàn)，將片尾曲那蒼涼的曲調(diào)鏤刻于心。短短的幾分鐘，概括了影片的內(nèi)容與精神，奏響了蘇格蘭人的心聲。什么都可以放棄，但不可以放棄心中的信念，那是甘愿付出生命也要守護(hù)的希望。

于是一次又一次地抗?fàn)?，一次次?受傷失敗，一次次地奮起，終于賭上了所有，收獲自由。然后，一切的一切歸于平靜，因為心得到了安寧。

只剩下草原上矗立的十字劍，掛飾隨風(fēng)飄揚。古銅色的劍身在風(fēng)中搖動，與背后的藍(lán)天原野映襯著，像極了蘇格蘭人民那跳動著的勇敢的心。延伸至遠(yuǎn)方的綠色，帶著令人欣喜的希望。劍者，守護(hù)之意，抗?fàn)幹鳌?/p>

勇敢的心，是威廉姆·華萊士源源不斷的力量，使他無懼死亡，支撐著他一次次地從失敗中站起，將自由的種子播種到每一個蘇格蘭人的心里。每一個人都在為了信念，為了心而戰(zhàn)斗。

很多時候，精神的力量往往強(qiáng)韌得令人吃驚。心中的希望似一星火光照亮了漫漫長途，支撐著華萊士，支撐著蘇格蘭人民走上自由之路。

不僅僅是蘇格蘭的勇士在用劍守護(hù)著心中的信念，在新中國成立之前的黑暗歲月，中國的共產(chǎn)黨人不也是以追求自由解放的信念在戰(zhàn)斗嗎？一旦認(rèn)定了目標(biāo)就全力去做，什么都不能阻止，因為早已生死度外。遵從心的呼喚，擁有堅定的信念才能最終得到心的安寧，得到寧靜的幸福。

每個人都需要為自己的心找一個方向，需要這樣的一種力量，在你難過的時候給你安慰，在你驕傲的時候使你清醒，在你迷失的時候給你指引，支撐著你走過一個又一個失敗的關(guān)口，經(jīng)受住一季又一季的寒冬。使你變得很強(qiáng)，因為那堅定的信念，使你找到生命的意義所在，給了你一生前進(jìn)的方向。

不再執(zhí)著于無謂的成敗，不再沉迷于無聊的娛樂，不再放縱自己的悲傷，找一個心的出口，向前走，就看得到陽光。

第五篇：《勇敢的心》影評

勇敢的心

通過一個學(xué)期的影視鑒賞課程的學(xué)習(xí)對電影有了相當(dāng)深刻的認(rèn)識，對電影也有了更多的了解。這學(xué)期的課程馬上就要結(jié)束了，回想起得到的東西讓我心潮澎湃。

我覺得一部電影就像是一本書，每個人看一本相同的書都會有不同的收獲和感想，每個人從中獲取的道理和知識也不相同，但是通過影視鑒賞可以提高我們看待世界的看法和認(rèn)識則是不禁相同的。通過影視鑒賞的學(xué)習(xí)我對電影又有了新的認(rèn)識，以前在看完一部影片之后只是說好看不好看，沒有更深層次的認(rèn)識和見解?，F(xiàn)在，我不敢說我能評價一部影片，但是最起碼我可以更加理性的去看待一部電影，去體會作者的思想和想要表達(dá)的主題，去欣賞影片的內(nèi)涵。我沒有很到的藝術(shù)評價能力但是影視鑒賞課給了我一個更深層次的了解電影的機(jī)會，給我提供了一個和電影近距離接觸的平臺。影視鑒賞提高了我的藝術(shù)欣賞尤其是電影藝術(shù)的欣賞能力，讓我用更加理性的眼光去看待問題。這里我想談?wù)劇队赂业男摹愤@部作品，因為它讓我百看不厭。

記得第一次在看的時候，哭得一塌糊涂。一方面，我比較藏不住事兒，真善美的東西，總是能很輕易地打動我，到現(xiàn)在看一些東西，還是哭得像個孩子。另一方面，《勇敢的心》本身擁有一部完美的電影所需要的一切因素——純潔的愛情，無謂的勇氣，堅貞的英雄，偉大的人民，完美的音樂，壯闊的景色，優(yōu)秀的演員，尖銳的矛盾沖突，波瀾起伏的情節(jié)和最真實的夢想。后來漸漸成長，這部電影在影視鑒賞課上又重溫了一遍，看到了電影的實質(zhì)，其實是把好萊塢商業(yè)電影的各項元素運用到了極致，看到了蒙太奇的驚人作用，但感動依舊，依舊難以忘卻那份愛與自由。

華萊士，一個真實而脆弱的英雄形象，他的奮斗，他的不屈，他的勇敢堅韌，事實上為的是一份證明，證明給她死去的女人看，他是一個英雄；證明給她看，擁有夢想中的自由生活是一件可能的事情。

他騎著高大的黑色駿馬出現(xiàn)在混亂的高地軍隊前，藍(lán)色的油彩涂在他堅毅的臉上，風(fēng)吹起他金色的頭發(fā)，飛揚的發(fā)絲印證著他的宣言“他們可以奪取我的生命，但是永遠(yuǎn)也不可能奪去我們的自由！”他揭開那個神秘人的頭盔發(fā)現(xiàn)他竟然就是自己惺惺相吸的貴族羅拔的時候，他的眼里充滿了絕望和不可置信的震驚。在他被處死的前夕，他也會恐懼，他也會顫抖，他也會默默地呼喚愛人的名字，祈求她賜予他勇氣，讓他完成英雄的使命，這個男人是真實的，偉大的。他的勇敢和真誠，對于自由的渴望，是每一個孩子的愿望，我們需要這種感動，需要這種美化了的虛擬情愫，這就是電影的神奇力量，讓人置身其中，感受那些我們不曾有的生活，感受那些我們渴望已久的情感迸發(fā)。華萊士騎馬在蘇格蘭軍隊前發(fā)表戰(zhàn)前宣言的那個片斷；兩軍廝殺，鮮血浸染的那些場景；在刑場上，華萊士以全身的力氣喊出““freedom”那一刻；在電影的結(jié)尾，華萊士的劍被戰(zhàn)友拋向天空，劃過蒼穹的那一瞬間，都是完美的煽情點。蘇格蘭風(fēng)笛滄桑遙遠(yuǎn)的意境里，那個英雄在山野間奔馳，永不停息。這些段落，一個孩子是沒辦法不被感動的。

我想，為之感動是一件很慶幸的事情。眼前這個時代，價值觀完全崩潰，反諷黑色幽默大行其道，人們逐漸已經(jīng)淡漠了曾經(jīng)屬于我們的那些單純的感動，那些真善美的童話，轉(zhuǎn)而用蔑視一切的外表去掩蓋自己空虛的內(nèi)心和不自信，我也是其中的一員，但我仍然相信，相信我外殼憤世嫉俗的那層保護(hù)膜下面，仍然是一塊金子，相信在人生的某個時段，我也會掙脫出來，大膽的表達(dá)我對于生命的感激。我要說，在我年少輕狂的時候，走過不少彎路，我過于癡迷那些虛構(gòu)出來的成就感和虛榮心，過于用心偽造那些不經(jīng)事的事故和淡漠，我一度認(rèn)為這些東西很酷。但在骨子里，我自己清楚，我永遠(yuǎn)是一個傳統(tǒng)的孩子，我相信那些世襲下來的品質(zhì)和為人處世的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我相信夢想，相形要為之奮斗不息，相信要追求自己的人生價值和目標(biāo)，相信一分耕耘一分收獲，相信好心總會有好報，我羨慕華萊士，我沒法做人做到這樣的純粹，但我還在努力，努力摒棄那些不值一提的虛榮和自卑，努力高聲喊出自己的那聲“freedoom”。我們過去總是在談?wù)撐磥?，談?wù)撃切┻b不可及的夢想，但現(xiàn)在來看，未來就在眼前，青春的九局下半就在眼前，再繼續(xù)談?wù)撍坪跻呀?jīng)不大合適，要么去面對，要么就退卻，沒有第三種選擇。我們歡樂谷的同仁也要有顆勇敢的心一齊面對生活中所有的難題.“勇敢的心”原來指的還有勇于面對自己，絕不背叛自己的真意，那就是真正地活過了，在肉體的死亡中也能得到精神上的永生。這才理解了那句話：Every man dies, not every man really lives.壯哉！英雄！

也只有這樣的人，才能超脫民族、階級、立場、時代等等的局限，贏得廣泛的敬慕和認(rèn)同，歷史長河不息，影響一代又一代人。
