Wallace's defiance leads the local English lord to last out.

Longshanks, in a bid to strengthen his control in Scotland, has given his lords there the right of "Prima N octa" - the right to sleep with any new bride on their wedding night. But in so doing, he's already broken the law. He finds his childhood sweetheart, Murron (Catherine McCormack), and secretly marries her, hoping to start a family. Years later, Wallace returns home seeking a peaceful life as a farmer. When young Wallace's father and older brother are killed in a failed bid for freedom, Wallace is taken away by his uncle Argyle, who raises and educates him. For Scotland suffers under the rule of the ruthless English king, Edward the Longshanks, and any attempt to resist his cruelty is met with the harshest punishment. De-Lovely director Irwin Winkler helms this potentially controversial MGM project.William Wallace (Gibson) is born a common highlander, the son of a lowly farmer, but he soon finds himself at the very eye of the storm. Jessica Biel, Christina Ricci and Eva Mendez play the women who love these damaged men. Rapper 50 Cent aka Curtis Johnson and relative unknown Brian Presley play the other two soldiers. The other two soldiers from his unit are having similar problems leaving the horrors of war behind. He is not the same man who left a few months before and she worries that he is having a mental breakdown. When the soldier returns, his wife is shocked to discover how much emotional damage the conflict has inflicted upon Jackson’s character. Jackson, fresh from the disappointment of Snakes on a Plane, portrays a doctor returning from extended duty in the middle east. Jackson frontlines the cast of this movie about three soldiers who return from Iraq and attempt to return to a “normal existence”. Instead, the focus is the re-integration process where a soldier leaves a place of tremendous peril and comes home to reflect upon what he has experienced. Home of the Brave is not a movie about what happens to Americans while they are in Iraq. Thousands of American soldiers have been directed to go to foreign soil and protect the peace there. Movie of the Day for Monday, October 23, 2006ĭuring this election year, one of the hotbed topics is the situation in Iraq.
