Braveheart

Braveheart In the movie “Braveheart” William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson, leads a group of Scottish rebels against a dominant English government. Throughout the movie speeches are made by William Wallace before every tough battle they are about to face. The words of Wallace give his men the courage to not turn around and run, but to stay and fight. But not only to receive the challenge and defend themselves, but actually charging first and being the aggressor towards the English. These speeches exemplify the spirit behind Wallace’s motivation to rise up against the army that wants to destroy everything in sight to capture for their ruler. These discourses provide a powerful and realistic problem to the audience. Someone needs to lead these people, the Scottish, so that they don’t live their lives like they were under one man’s palm. Who can make these families believe in themselves' When William Wallace proclaims his speeches before battle he asserts his leadership and assumes the role that the people have been needing. His words and his passion for what he believes in captures his men’s hearts and inspires them to fight with all might.
