Braveheart Vs The Last of the Mohicans Vs Dances with the Wolves


I would like to get your opinion of which movie you favor more and why?
More or less these 3 movies have almost same feel to 'em. Loved the cinematography, direction, slow but steady pacing, music, story line and acting of lead

I love Braveheart more than other two.

This one.
I have long been interested in British history in the 18thC., and this movie was so beautifully filmed, good script, outstandingly good acting all round. I did indeed get "a feel" of these times through this film, so top credits to director and actors, and not forgetting costume designers. (I have traced my family tree back to the 1780's, another reason for my interest in this period).

Dances with Wolves, indeed, very good but I haven't the same interest in that period but again this is not detract from some of the beautiful scenes and acting.

I disliked Braveheart as it was not entirely accurate, historically, and I am no fan of Mel Gibson's, so I'll bow out on that one. (I am a Scot, btw).

I agree with your comment. My favourite of the three is definitely Last of the Mohicans, the Dances with Wolves, then Braveheart (which I also disliked due to historical inaccuracies and Mel Gibson)

reply

Braveheart. I was just remarking to my wife the other day that it's weird to me to remember how long it took for me to admit that I liked Braveheart more than this.

Braveheart became an obsession for me, but this probably remains second only to that regarding my ability to quote it/recite its lines, aside from comedies.

reply

Braveheart, easily.

No way I could choose between those 3 - all are great in different ways.

reply

LOTM does NOT compare to the other two.

Braveheart Vs The Last of the Mohicans Vs Dances with the Wolves


Braveheart is not on the same level as Last of the Mohicans or Dances with Wolves. Of the latter two, I give the edge to Mohicans.

I agree. Braveheart is very overrated(which saddens me as I am related to Sir William Wallace!). Perhaps my ancestral connection makes me desire more, but I feel it is very lackluster and melodramatic(if it is possible to be both of those at once, which I think Braveheart proves can be done).

I would have loved to see a realistic depiction of the Battle of Falkirk and probably would have greatly improved my opinion.

Braveheart. I just think it's perfect.

Braveheart is the best movie of its genre

"Last of the Mohicans" was an engrossing and exciting adaptation of the novel. "Braveheart" was a Gibson ego project with Mel being his over-the-top late-20th-century self in the 18th century. "Dances with Wolves" was a bloated truckload of pretentious rubbish.
