It narrated how a legendary hero in the history of Scotland fighting for freedom and independence by presenting the audience the bloody and violent battle scenes interwoven with romantic love. Brave heart was a very wonderful picture, large on romantic love, strong patriotism and vicious betrayal but it avoided presenting the audience in a flat style so many historical scenes. From the technical point of view, it did a fine job of organizing the masses and horses for spectacular battles in the film. Brave Heart is the representative film of swordplay classic. The keynote characters in Brave Heart were analyzed in this paper.展开更多

Yet the following analysis about its theme shows that it is more than a science fiction or political fable. It was given more philosophical significance. The fact that happiness and truth cannot be compatible in the World Stare actually gives a warning to the modern society which depends too much on technical development and material prosperity.展开更多
