苏格兰高地
Braveheart 勇敢的心
In the 13th Century England, after several years of political unrest in Scotland, the land is open to an invasion from the south. King Edward I of England (Patrick McGoohan) decided to conquer Scotland. After invading Scotland and winning the war by 1280 A.D., Edward (known as 'Longshanks') granted areas of land in Scotland to his nobility which they were to rule, along with the traditional privileges. One of these privileges was Primae Noctis, the right for the lord to take a newly married Scottish woman into his bed and spend the wedding night with the bride.
William Wallace (Mel Gibson) grows up in this atmosphere of repression and fear and survives the death of his father and brother. Wallace is taken abroad by his uncle (Brian Cox). They travel to Europe and Wallace learns to read, write and speak Latin and French. When he returns home, he falls in love with his childhood sweetheart Murron MacClannough (Catherine McCormack), and they marry in secret so that she does not have to spend a night in the bed of the English lord.
威廉•华莱士童年时，其父、苏格兰民族英雄马索•华莱士在与英军的斗争中牺牲，他开始接受父亲好友的指导，学习苏格兰文化和武术。青年华莱士（梅尔•吉布森）学成回到故乡，向美丽的少女梅伦求婚，不想梅伦被英军抢去且遭杀害。在广大村民“英雄之后”的呼声中，华莱士率众揭竿起义，并与苏格兰贵族罗伯结成联盟，但不久他发现，苏格兰贵族考虑的只是自身的利益。
英王为缓和局势，派伊莎贝拉（苏菲•玛索）前去和华莱士谈判，由于英王只想收买华莱士，根本不顾苏格兰人民的自由和平等，谈判失败，但这一切并不为伊莎贝拉所知。伊莎贝拉归国后发现事情真相，且知晓英王正策划阴招，忙送信给华莱士，而两人的爱情，也在战争与阴谋中悄然滋生。
推荐理由：在绵延不绝的苍穹之下，感受爱情与自由的可贵。走在壮阔的苏格兰高地上，可以感受一种荒凉与凄美，风笛声也许就是该在这样的景色中才能孕育出来。
