10 More Movie Speeches That Dominated The Film

3. Freedom! - Braveheart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEOOZDbMrgE So what if Braveheart is generally regarded as an incredibly historically inaccurate movie and Mel Gibson has since been revealed to be a bit of a nutcase? Despite nearly three hours of scenes, almost everyone you'd ask remembers Braveheart for Wallace's inspirational speech to the Scottish army before battle with the much larger English army. Though Wallace begins with humor about how he doesn't live up to his reputation, he quickly becomes serious when he focuses on the importance of fighting for one's freedom. It's a universal feeling that speaks to every culture, and few have ever said it so passionately as Gibson does as Wallace.
