In the movie “Brave Heart”, a legendary Scots warrior– William Wallace leads his nation into battle against the English in the years around 1300. It is a full-throated, red-blooded battle epic and an ambitious film, too. It advocates love, patriotism and treachery.
According to an old epic poem, Wallace was a hero who unified the clans of Scotland and won famous battles against the English. Unfortunately, he was captured, tortured and executed as a traitor. 
In the movie, when Wallace is stretched on the rack, he cried out his last word “freedom!” to the world. Even the person who has just protested against him is moved to tears, murmuring “mercy!” The last scene is the most shocking and moving scene for me personally. When it comes to the death of Wallace I was almost chocked by the sorrow. The bounded Wallace lying on the gallows make me can help thinking of the crucified Christ.
