Feel the freedom


I was watching "Braveheart" yesterday and I have to say, I never get tired of this movie. Definitively is one of my favorites. Is so amazing how we can have a lot of different feelings at the time. We fall in love for the romance story, we feel lost with "William Wallace" when he's lost, we're willing to fight for our freedom like him. Admire Mel Gibson in scene is incredible, we feel his passion all the time. Maybe that's why every person that I know have "Braveheart" on the top 10 or, maybe top 5 of their favorites movies.

Well, I'm not a critical or anything. That's just the way I feel about the movie and I want to share with all of you.
I can't post my favorite part of the movie, because that I felt inside my heart an soul, but here it go my favorites quotes:

William Wallace: It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom.
(The next one is almost a sequence, for me they have the same meaning)

William Wallace: Every man dies, not every man really lives.
(We can be a slave and live a long life or, we can fight for our freedom and live proud of ourself)

Young William: I can fight.
Malcolm Wallace: I know. I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.
(First work on your mind than try with your arms)

William Wallace: There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.
(I see a little contradiction between this and JF Kennedy words "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Perhaps I'm wrong.)

William Wallace: Why do you help me?
Princess Isabelle: Because of the way you are looking at me now.
(Perfect! Each girl wouldn't do the same for the man she is in love? Girls like word, but we don't need them. We really love when men act like in love, when their eyes speaking the love language. Love is not about words, is about attitude.)

Veteran: Fight? Against that? No! We will run. And we will live.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
(That's love, that's passion, not for a woman, but for life.)

William Wallace: We all end up dead, it's just a question of how and why.
(Oh yea... Think about it! You make your own choices, don't forget it.)

Hamish: Where are you going?
William Wallace: I'm going to pick a fight.
Hamish: Well, we didn't get dressed up for nothing.
(And he really know how to fight. lol)

William Wallace: FREEEEEDOOOOMMMM!!!!
(Pure emotion!!! I cried like a baby!)
