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
