1. Braveheart is another classic film I enjoy and respect very much. Braveheart is a great movie because it incorporates feelings of love, loss, war, and violence, all into one epic adventure for independence. I also adore the fact that the movie is based on a real, historical, character and event. My interpretation of the real William Wallace is biased on how Mel Gibson portrayed him, but after watching Braveheart, I have a profound respect for him. Over-all the movie was violent, but not as gory as modern films like the Saw series. The movie incorporates realistic violence and gore to help support the realism in reenacting the battles and costumes of that unique time period. A modern remake of the movie or a new movie similar to Braveheart, would be a good addition to historical-based films. With the graphic capabilities of movies today, Braveheart, or a movie of a similar topic, could be even more of a classic.

2. The quote, "Every man dies. Not every man really lives", relates to heroism and the idea of a lasting legacy. To live, means to fight for and support what you believe in and not go through life " not living" and contributing to society. Everyone dies but some people are remembered after their death because of what they did or accomplished while living. William Wallace is an example of what this quotes means in realistic terms. He fought for Scottish freedom and is still known today for his actions while he was living.  This quote applies to my life because I want to live without following the orders of others and want to be remembered long after my death. I may not accomplish my second goal, but I still want to go through life with no big regrets and without the interference of people or governments making decisions for me.
