Braveheart: A brave statement about war. even if I don't agree

Mel Gibson has gotten a lot of flack lately and rightfully so। Anti-Scemitisem is one of the most disgusting beliefs on the planet, and I hope to dies and never returns. But one of the first movies he made (produced, directed, wrote?) "Braveheart" really speaks on the issue of the just war. Can there even be such a creature? Now there have been many movies made about war, some against and a few for. Now when you have an anti war movie its usually portrayed as ugly and horrible, while those for usually have the knights in shining armor going into battle and winning handedly, while still looking nice pert and pretty by the end of it. Now Braveheart is a tad different. Its bloody gory and frankly quite disgusting. But I think that is the point. War IS ugly and bloody and gory and MORE then disgusting. But what Mel is saying is, "Freedom is worth killing and DIENG for" Now I am not sure I agree with that, but the thing is that in most countries people have died so you have the right to go to a mosque instead of a church or even a different kind of church. Freedom COSTS. Is it worth it? And Mel doesn't just show his noble warriors doing battle, they get bloody and dirty and die. Families go and collect as many pieces as they can find to bury, to morn., people get there heads cut off, guts ripped open, just so they don't have to have a foreign overlord. The die slow death of gangrene or a quicker death of an arrow in the eye. Is freedom worth it? Do we really appreciate what many of our ancestors did for something as tenuous as freedom? I don't know, part of me says it was worth it, and part of me says no. But that is the beauty of "Braveheart" it forces you to ask. A sick twisted bitterly powerful movie. I may not completely agree with it, but I am glad it asks the questions the does.
