    I don’t care, man, braveheart was fucking dope. plus that’s very reductive, it’s a very personal story as well in many ways. there’s friendship and love and :.|:; and betrayal and revenge. it really hits hard on an emotional level in so many scenes. two or three that made me cry, a number of fuck you moments and a bunch of fuck yeah moments. it has so many perfect setup and payoff arcs that more recent insanely popular media severely lacks, like breaking bad or Harry Potter.

    Gibson is an absolute piece of shit but it’s a shame that he’s actually talented, unlike a crushing majority of these hogs.

      I like that part where the king pushes his sons gay lover out the window.

      Good movie but totally agree, Gibson is so talented he’s succeeded despite his wacko beliefs.
