Braveheart is delayed

I had planned to have the Braveheart review done by this time, but due to some illness and an unexpected and incredible New Year’s getaway, I haven’t managed to finish in time.

I re-watched Braveheart today and find myself fascinated by the father of Robert the Bruce, a dangerous and yet somewhat pathetic character. He has traces of Darth Vader in him, as well as very human feelings of grief of the life he didn’t live. Aside from the aforementioned reasons, my desire to understand him better also had me postpone the review a little. I basically want to feel into the archetypal dynamics of Braveheart a little more.

The movie is rich with material and I look forward to finalizing this piece for you. Thanks for your patience.
