Mel gibson, 1995, created a legendary patriotic hero-william wallace in Brave Heart, and this year he brought another great patriot-Benjamin Martin to the world. His angular face, handsome and resolute temperament, and the blood of a man who just came to the sun made him perfectly dedicated to two great patriots in the world who defended their sacred homeland with their lives, and he also became a top movie star in Hollywood by virtue of his own strength.
1979, Gibson, who just debuted, starred in two feature films with different themes. One is the sci-fi film Mad Max directed by the famous director george miller, in which he plays a future police officer in a metal coat who will face the destruction of atomic war. The second is another touching sitcom "Tim" directed by Miller, in which he plays the leading role. He won the Australian Sam Award for his outstanding performance in Clumsy and became a dazzling star in Ran Ran. 198 1, he was appreciated by another famous Australian director, Peter Weil. In the same year, he participated in the filming of Will's wonderful drama gallipoli and won the Sam Prize for Best Actor for the second time. In the same year, Gibson's outstanding performance in Crazy Max 2: Road Warrior made him attract the attention of the international film circle for the first time. 1983, he cooperated with Weil for the second time and made the film A Year of Dangerous Life, in which he played a ruthless reporter and tried to cover up the bloody coup in Indonesia. In these early films, Gibson's acting skills have been continuously improved, and he will begin to seek a broader performance space.
1984, Gibson entered the United States. He starred in Hollywood's The River and The Sharp Corner, but the response was mediocre. In the same year, Gibson was invited to return to Australia to play the fanatical Marx again in the exciting Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and the singer Dina Turner also joined the filming of this film. After two years' rest in Gibson, richard donner, a famous American director, invited him to star in the sensational action film Lethal Weapon 1987, in which Gibson played detective Martin Riggs. His humor, courage, persistence in justice and daring to fight against evil forces made Gibson a great success and became a super action star in Hollywood. His joint performance with Danny Glover made Lethal Weapon a great success and became the most popular movie at that time. Then he appeared in two sequels of Deadly Weapon, which won Gibson a great reputation.
From 65438 to 0990, he founded his own film production company, ICON Productions, and made Hamlet, Forever Young and other films. During this period, he also participated in the filming of Tequila Sunrise and Birds on a Wire. 1990 and 199 1 were selected as one of the 50 most handsome people in the world by People magazine.
1993, Gibson directed the film No Face for the first time, telling an ancient legend, and personally played a teacher who was badly burned but kept a secret in the film. This film is well-made, which reflects Gibson's rich experience and experience in the film industry for many years. Although the film was widely publicized, it only achieved a moderate box office income. 1994 starred in "maverick" directed by richard donner, which was adapted from the TV comedy of the same name, with good ratings. He plays a western gunman and gambler in the play. After the film was released, it received constant praise, reflecting his strength and vitality.
1995 Gibson's costume movie Braveheart gave the world an extraordinary shock. In the film, he describes the life of Scottish leader william wallace in the13rd century and the history of his struggle to create an independent kingdom. This is a costume epic with profound nationalism and political connotation. Gibson devoted all his energy and emotion and showed extraordinary talent. The film 1996 * * * was nominated for the 10 Academy Awards, and finally won five Academy Awards (best film, best director, best cinematography, best sound effect and best makeup). This year has become a golden year for mel gibson, who is worthy of the title of world superstar.
1996, behind the scenes, voiced and sang for John Smith in the animated film Frozen in the Wind produced by Disney Company, and made the films Ransom 1996 and Conspiracy Theory. 1999 In the movie Pay Back the Money (1999), he started a new attempt since the film, playing a gangster with both good and evil, and his heroic spirit is still the same as that of that year. In 2000, he returned to his old job and voiced Loki, the magical rooster in DreamWorks' latest cartoon "Chicken Run", which added a lot of color to the film.
In 2000, at the invitation of the great director wim Wenders, Gibson made a guest appearance in The Million Dollar Hotel, playing a policeman who pursued a murder case. His cold appearance and mysterious style add a lot of charm to the whole movie. During the summer vacation, Gibson appeared in costume again after Braveheart, starring in the big budget movie Patriot. The film was directed by Roland morrissey, the director of Independence Day, and written by Robert Rhodes, the screenwriter of Saving Private Ryan. It tells the story of an American who fought bravely against the British invaders during the American War of Independence in the 65438+70s. Benjamin Martin played by Gibson is a widower with seven children. He is willing to fight for the safety of his family and shout in the war. The film is grand, spectacular and touching, showing a strong heroic color, and has achieved good box office results. With this film, Gibson further established his "hero image" on the screen and became the most expensive actor in Hollywood ($25 million). Gibson's next film this year is the comedy What Women Want, which will be released before the end of the year. He plays a male chauvinist who can read women's minds. I wonder what Gibson can bring us this time.
Mel gibson is a devout family man and attached to his family. He is faithful to his wife who has been married for 14 years. His wife Robyn and he have seven children. About half the women in the world are fascinated by him. In a poll conducted by zogby in May this year, mel gibson was elected as the best screen lover, but he has never had an affair. He thinks that extramarital affairs are "much ado about nothing, why bother?" When talking about his family, he said that for the safety of his family, he would do whatever it takes, just like Benjamin Martin in Patriot. Usually, he is kind, easy-going, smart and humorous. What this "sexiest man in the world" likes best is to live leisurely with his family on his own farm in Australia. He once said that he was not "the sexiest man in the world", and he hoped that people would regard him as "the most ordinary man in the world".
1997 10 British empire magazine, global ranking 100 star ranking 12. Born at 4: 45pm EST, 1996, she was selected as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by People. His father, Hutto Gibson, and his family moved from rural new york to New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Gibson and his wife Robin have six children. 1975, they performed Good Morning America with their cousin Charles Gibson. Graduated from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
Mel Gibson is a devout Catholic. He went to drama school with Judy Davis and co-starred in Romeo and Juliet. 199 1 and 1990, mel gibson was selected as one of the top 50 most handsome people in the world by People magazine.

It is also true that william wallace is a real person.
William wallace in history.
He was born in1267; People who think he is a young hero claim that his birthday is actually 1275 or1276; Some people say that it is a historical coincidence that he was born in 1272 or 1274, because the former was the year when his old enemy always loved to inherit the throne in the Cross Army, and the latter was the year when he returned to London to be crowned. Some people also advocate 1270, probably to get an integer.
Whether his father's name is Malcolm or Richard also has different opinions. Lao Feng prefers to believe that his father's name is Malcolm and Richard is an uncle. Because according to a more recognized statement, the Hua family has three brothers, the eldest is Malcolm, the second is William, the third is John and the third is Richard. At that time, it was popular for the eldest son to inherit his father's name, so it was reasonable for the name Malcolm Jr. to come from his father's name.
It is said that Wallace is two meters (six feet seven inches) tall, which makes him a giant even today. Moreover, according to research, the average height of adult males at that time was only 1.5 meters. In his life, he didn't leave a true portrait, but as an ideal hero and an example for people to follow, there are many versions of his image in Scotland, including youth idols, beards, whiskers and even white hair and beard, and most of them are indomitable and indomitable fighting postures. But the most controversial thing is the statue recently completed in front of Stirling Tourism Service Center. Because many people say that William Wallace should be commemorated, not Mel Gibson.
It is thought that the Wallace family has moved from Wales to Scotland. Wallace is also known as Walensis, which means "Welsh speaker". This family is a small aristocrat in the southwest of Scotland, that is, a small Lord who obeys the big princes. This multi-layer enfeoffment system was very common in medieval Europe. Ancestors of Fahrenheit, as vassals of Scottish High Stewards, acquired the territory of Eldersley (Eldersley) no later than 1250, which was then located near Paisley, Renfrew. William's mother also came from a noble family, and was the daughter of Sir Reginald de Crauford, the sheriff of Ayre (located on the west coast of Scotland).
William's early experience is unfounded, but according to the custom at that time, William, as the second son, should be a priest. It is said that one of his uncles is a priest in Dunipace near Stirling. The professor gave him Latin and biblical proverbs and instilled free thoughts. It is said that his swordsmanship and riding and shooting skills were also learned when he became a monk.
The legendary Wallace is a martial artist who can defeat several people and finally win. I believe the legend is true that he can survive the repeated killings and bloody battles. But the truth doesn't stop there. Wallace is still an excellent commander. Obviously, he has no formal military education, but years of experience in mountains and rivers have made him rich in combat experience, well versed in guerrilla tactics, know how to collect and use information, be able to use troops reasonably according to the characteristics of the enemy and ourselves, be good at using the terrain, and grasp the attack opportunity just right.
On the other hand, Wallace is bloodthirsty and murderous. There is a painting showing Wallace in battle. The sky is bleak and the ground is foggy. Wallace, with a sword in his hand, wandered among the corpses everywhere, like a hungry tiger going down the mountain. The color is cold and gloomy, and the atmosphere is terrible and cold. He retaliated against the injuries and insults caused by the British and killed him in cold blood. Every time the rebels conquer a castle occupied by the British army or defeat the British army on the battlefield, they will kill all the English people and their foreign mercenaries, including civilians, and never take them captive. When they are in a better mood, they will let the girls, children and monks go. Sometimes even his subordinates feel so cruel and uneasy that they go to the bishop to confess afterwards. After all, he lives in an era of fighting violence with violence, and barbarism is the need of survival. The arrogance, insults and cruel repression of the conqueror, as well as the life-and-death pursuit for many years, have burnt the last bit of kindness and compassion in his heart with the fire of revenge.
Wallace's deep-rooted hatred for the British people comes not only from his belief in freedom, but also from his personal feelings about the pain of national subjugation and genocide, from which he knows national hatred. 129 1 year, when the old people loved to perform "supreme" farce, Malcolm, the old man in Geng Jie, was one of the few Scots who refused to bow his head. In order to avoid persecution, he ran away from home with his eldest son, but was finally killed by an English knight named fenwick in Rau Mountain, Ayrshire. Young William had to join his mother. It is said that he entered the missionary school during this period, but soon he was wanted for killing the British occupation troops who challenged him, and he began to wander in the rivers and lakes. Since then, the story is somewhat like "Water Margin", with fighting, chasing, revenge and narrow escape. Some people even say that Wallace is actually one of the archetypes of the legendary Robin Hood. Most of these stories were exaggerated and romanticized by the Scots who were bullied by the invaders, hoping for revenge.
During his guerrilla career, Wallace gradually formed a backbone with relatives as the core, including Patrick auchinleck of Gilbank, cousins Adam, Richard and Simon Wallace. Cousin William de Crawford, nephews Edward Ritter and Tom Halid, and noble Sir john graham Jr., Irish Stephen (Irish Stephen), soldier Gray (Gray), Clay (Krugerton's Kelly), friar joho blair (I don't know if he is a slow ancestor), bandits Eduardo, John Jie Yu and George all cast a shadow in front of them. They armed themselves with equipment, horses and supplies captured by the attacking British army, and became stronger and stronger.
What is more credible is some large-scale battles. It's like an ambush in Lawton Mountain. 1July, 296, William Wallace led dozens of clan members to wait for him in Luodun Mountain where his father and brother were killed. He used a narrow road to ambush, killed his enemy knight Feinik, and intercepted his convoy. Another example is the night attack on Lanark (in southern Scotland). Marion Bradford, Wallace's wife (the only daughter of a rich Lord, whether they were formally married or not), died at the hands of Sir William hessel Rigg, the old appointed Lanark county magistrate. Wallace led his men into the castle at night and bloodied the sheriff's residence. In BH, this incident was arranged as an official defense of the "first night right" and forced the people to rebel, which was regarded as the fuse of the great uprising. Maybe Mel has seen Driving to Liangshan. Foreigners don't think there is anything shameful about "rushing to the crown and being angry as a beauty".
The Battle of Lanark was a turning point in Wallace's fate. Militarily, this battle killed more than 240 British soldiers, made Wallace famous, and inspired the rebellious consciousness of the oppressed Scottish lower class. More than 3000 insurgents quickly gathered around him and became a real army. Before that, he was followed by dozens of relatives and some real Jiang Yang thieves, at best, a guerrilla. Politically, Wallace changed from spontaneously resisting the brutal rule of the occupation army to fighting for the recovery of the motherland. As mentioned earlier, Bishop Robert Westhart had long been interested in launching the Zionist movement, but he suffered from a shortage of soldiers, and the powerful only valued self-interest and ignored the righteousness. The rise of Wallace's rebels is exactly what he wants. The old monk found Wallace and persuaded him to play the banner of restoring national independence and welcoming King barrio back to Korea. This move, like Fan Zengli urging Xiang Liang to meet Chu Huaiwang, gave the Wallace Rebel a political position and appeal. Before that, Wallace and his anti-British struggle had been regarded as a mob uprising, which could not be recognized by big noble. At the same time, the church network of the whole Soviet Union was mobilized to contact the insurgents all over the country, so that the uprising wave spread rapidly. Some nobles also joined the rebellion. However, this move also labeled Wallace, who has no political inclination, as a "pro-Pakistani faction" and will inevitably become a victim of aristocratic factions in the future.
Wallace led the rebel army to attack the city and pull out the village continuously, sweeping the whole northern highlands.
I suggest watching the movie Braveheart.
In Lockhart, Wallace joined forces with local rebels to raid MacFadyen. With the support of the number advantage and puppet troops, he wiped out the enemy and killed all Irish prisoners, but all Scottish prisoners who surrendered and begged for mercy were released. After Michael Fadion himself fled the battlefield, he was hunted down and beheaded.
In Perth, an important town in the north, the rebels filled the moat and set up a ladder to break into the city, killing 2000 British troops.
In Dunota Castle, Wallace, who still remembers the atrocities such as the "Al Barn Incident", refused to give any pity to more than 4,000 English people and their followers who fled to the castle for refuge. The resisters were finally driven off the cliff, and even the church was set on fire, and the people hiding inside were roasted alive.
In Aberdeen Port, the British army hurriedly boarded the ship to evacuate, and the insurgents who came quickly attacked the deck at low tide, killing all the armor and burning more than 100 ships; The sheriff sent by England hung the flag of barrio, thus avoiding a bloody battle.
Subsequently, Wallace and Morey joined forces to besiege Dundee.
At this time, the British army that subdued the Scottish nobles had marched north under the command of Lao Wa.
The pound became the focus of the British-Soviet war at this time.
The whole city of Stirling is located on the alluvial plain of Fox River bend and valley, and the terrain is like Tongguan. Wallace Memorial Tower is located in Dumyat Mountain, two miles north of the city. It looks like a road sign and can be seen from a distance.
The parking lot at the foot of the mountain is free. Daya Mountain is about 100 meters high, with beautiful mountains and lush trees. The mountain road is steep and steep. Some kind people suggest that if any tourists are weak or want to save energy to climb the memorial tower, they can take the car ferry instead of walking. In early autumn, it is cool and comfortable, the mountain breeze is blowing gently, and the air is fresh, just for mountaineering.
The memorial tower is located on the site of Craig Abbey. The monastery was Wallace's command post in the Battle of Stirling Bridge. The construction of the memorial tower took eight years and was completed in 1869. The tower is 220 feet (67 meters) high and has 246 steps. The total cost was over 65,438+0,000, which was astronomical at that time. Such a large sum of money comes from donations, including Scots from all over the world and leaders from many European countries, including Italian national hero and liberator General garibaldi, who also struggled for the ideal of national independence and freedom all his life.
This is a square tower made of light yellow and brown stones, with narrow windows, crenels on the top floor and round redoubts at the four corners, much like an ancient castle. The tower is the product of the revival of Victorian Gothic architecture. The facade treatment is actually very fine, but it can only be seen when it is close. But apart from the octagonal pilaster in the northwest corner and the small steeple at the top of the tower, the gorgeous and detail-oriented Gothic style is not obvious. The mottled stones and unclear outline make the building look quaint and Gu Zhuo, and it becomes more solemn and dignified under the drooping thick clouds. This style is more in line with Wallace's identity as a civilian hero and tragic fate.
Prominent in the southwest corner of the tower is a Wallace statue as high as 15 feet. Wallace has a beard and a strong body, wearing a kilt and cloak, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right. His face was cold and he looked straight ahead. Does he mean that Tian Ming vowed to recover the rivers and mountains, or directed the uprising brothers to attack the enemy? The statue is about 30 feet (9 meters) from the ground, commanding, like a god of war in mid-air, riding a cloud and flying in the wind, giving people a solemn and sacred feeling. Looking up at the statue, I felt reverence in my heart, and the mountain wind echoing in my ear seemed to be his call-Pro Liberty!
In the hall at the bottom of the tower, there is a brief introduction of Wallace and the memorial tower itself.
It is definitely not easy to climb the narrow and closed spiral staircase, but it is definitely worth a try.
Climbing the 7 1 steps and reaching the first floor of the tower is a display of Wallace's life story and an introduction to the Battle of Stirling Bridge. The most striking scene is the three-dimensional simulation of Wallace's trial in Westminster Hall.
Wallace's sword is displayed in a corner here. This sword was originally enshrined in Dumbarton Castle, and the memorial tower was removed after it was built. This is a common broadsword used by both hands at that time. The length is about 66 inches (1676 mm), of which the blade is about 52 inches (132 1 mm). 700 years later, it is still dazzling. The sword was originally an ordinary weapon at that time, without the maker's mark, and its age was unknown. From the material analysis, it was made in Scotland, and most of the common weapons in Britain at that time were produced in Flanders or Germany. 1505, King James IV of Scots reinstalled the hilt to make this sword more worthy of the hero's name. This is a typical aristocratic thinking, thinking that only gorgeous is noble. Although out of respect for heroes, it is shallow.
To use such a big and heavy weapon freely requires not only extraordinary strength, but also sufficient height. This can confirm the legend about Wallace's tall figure from the side.
On the second floor, there are 64 steps, which were converted into "Heroes Hall" in 1885. Marble statues and life stories of Scottish celebrities such as Roybert Bruise, Sir Walter Scott, robert burns, David Livingston and james watt were displayed, and Scottish celebrities in the 20th century were also shown by audio-visual means.
Going up 62 steps to the third floor is a 360-degree panoramic view, which depicts the surrounding scenery and marks the positions of several major wars in different historical periods, such as the Battle of Stirling Bridge at 1297 and the Battle of Bannockburn at 13 14.
The fourth floor is the top of the tower called "Crown". The "Crown" is composed of eight thick flying arch coupons. There are three minarets on each arch ticket, and there is also one at the top of the arch ticket. This architectural style is a variant of Scottish Gothic architecture, imitating the shape of the Scottish crown and representing the national character of Scotland. Many church towers in Scotland have similar styles, such as St. Gilles Church Tower in Edinburgh, which was built in the15th century. It is more humane, sharp, tall and serious than the typical Gothic square tower in England. However, the tops of church towers are often lighter and more transparent, while memorial towers are much thicker.
There are tickets but no webbed, and the top floor is an open terrace with an extremely wide view, which is the best foothold overlooking the ancient battlefield.
Looking around, university of stirling's quiet and serene campus is hidden in the green trees at the foot of the northern mountain, followed by the rolling hills of Ochir, like a solid wall, guarding the sparsely populated Scottish highlands behind it. The mountain peak in the far west is the towering Lomond Mountain. The valley at the foot is the only entrance between these two barriers. The Foss River forms an alluvial plain at the original broad valley bottom. The river twists and turns, drawing one meander after another, with rich water plants and snow-white sheep walking on it. The river extends eastward, disperses into numerous tributaries at the mouth of the river in the distance, seeps into a large wetland, and finally flows into the North Sea from FOSS Bay. Not far from the foot of the southwest mountain is the ancient bridge, built in the fifteenth century, next to the wooden bridge site that used to be the battlefield. Numerous houses have been built on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Sterling Castle is just across the valley from this compartment. This castle is similar to Edinburgh. It stands on a cliff overlooking the downtown area in the south. The endless green in the south of the city is the lowland plain in central Scotland.
This is really a battleground for dragon strategists.
Suddenly, a series of sunshine, like a shining sword, pierced the red cloud and pointed to the ancient bridge. Suddenly, the houses, roads, vehicles, cattle and sheep in the valley seem to have disappeared. My eyes are full of flying flags, bright armor, roaring horses and dazzling swords and guns.
There are traces of this hero in the imperial era ~! I think highly of it! ~ if you look carefully, except Genghis Khan ~! He is the strongest ~! ! ~
William wallace, the great hero, is the protagonist of the training mission.
His influence on the Scottish nation is also widely reflected in various literary works.
William Wallace
1272 was born in eldsley. His father was a tenant farmer of james stewart, a Scottish aristocrat, and his uncle was a parish priest. His uncle taught him a lot of knowledge, including Latin and French.
At that time, the Scottish King john barry Orr was very unpopular, and riots broke out all over the country. Seeing that the tide was gone, Balliol turned to England's King Edward I of England for help, handing over sovereignty with both hands. After Edward I of England took over Scotland, he controlled the situation by brutal and high-handed means, and created several massacres, which further aroused people's resistance. Both nobles and peasants took up arms against the British.
In this situation, Wallace grew up and led a team to launch an uprising near Lanak. 1297, he married Mirren Bradford. In May of the same year, Mirren was killed by William Ha Serik, the local consul, in a retaliatory action by the British army. Soon, Wallace designed to capture Lanak, captured Ha Sirich and personally executed him. Wallace won a lot of battles, became famous day by day, and attracted many comrades to join the rebels. One of them, Andy Murray, brave and resourceful, became his right-hand man. In addition, the nobles also expressed their support, including Roibert Briuis, james stewart, James Douglas and so on.
At this time, Wallace and his insurgents have gradually attracted the attention of Edward I of England, and sent troops to wipe them out. In July, some nobles surrendered to the British, while Wallace and Murray stepped up their training and reorganization to prepare for the war. In September, the two sides met in sterling. The British army crossed a bridge, fell down halfway, and was besieged by Scottish rebels who were several times smaller than them but extremely brave, and all the troops were wiped out. However, Murray died in this battle, and Wallace had to bear the heavy responsibility of leading the rebel army alone. 10, Wallace conquered Durham, an important town in northern England, but was unable to defend because of insufficient troops and supplies, so he returned to Scotland in 1 1 month. 1May 298, Wallace was knighted in Skok Forest, and was appointed as the general to protect the Scottish country and lead the great cause of Scottish freedom. Edward I of England, who was defeated in England, was furious, and used the whole country's troops to come to crusade.
William wallace formulated two strategies:
1. Clear the field-transfer all the residents, livestock and food where the British army may pass, leaving nothing for the British army to supplement.
2. Train soldiers to use the "gun array", that is, a group of spearmen stand back to back with their guns pointed outward to form a combat unit with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
1In July, 298, the British army and the insurgents fought fiercely in Falcock. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the heroic rebels were completely annihilated, and Wallace fled the battlefield alone. Since then, Wallace's whereabouts are rarely mentioned in historical materials. It is said that he set up guerrillas in England and attacked and harassed the British army, especially the supply troops sent to Scotland. In addition, he has been to Norway, France and even the Pope to seek international support. Wallace's behavior further angered King Edward I of England of England. He issued a strict order and rewarded him. William wallace must be arrested, dead or alive. However, with the help and protection of many patriotic Scots, Wallace saved the day several times, but the king of England never succeeded.
1304 In August, due to the betrayal of John Mantis, a trusted partner and traitor of Wallace, Wallace was captured near Glasgow and immediately taken to London. In return, Mantis was appointed CEO of Denbarton. In London, after a formal trial, Wallace was accused of treason and murder of Har Serik, the consul of Lanak, and was sentenced to death, without the right to defend himself.
On the way to the execution ground, Wallace was insulted and laughed at by onlookers, and people threw rotten vegetables, bread and so on. Staring at him one by one, because they were told that the prisoner was a heinous gangster and traitor who killed many innocent Britons. After being tortured by rope, knife and fire, william wallace was beheaded, dismembered and sent to England and Scotland. His head was hung on London Bridge to warn people not to resist.
However, the goal of King Edward I of England of England has not been achieved. Inspired by william wallace's fearless spirit, the Scottish people fought bloody battles and vowed to drive the British out of their land. In the end, they won their freedom. It seems that
There is no record that Wallace shouted "freedom" before he died, but one of Wallace's favorite poems has survived to this day.
Originally in Latin:
Tell you, my child, there are many things worth fighting for in your life? However, freedom is undoubtedly the most important. Never lead a slave's life in fetters.
Nowadays, in Scotland, you can see many monuments built by Scots for their heroes. One of them is in Edinburgh, on one side of the castle entrance (the other side is Roibert Briuis); A cathedral in Lanark; The most famous is the National Wallace Monument in Sterling. William wallace will live in the hearts of the Scottish people forever.
