This 1995 Braveheart 16x20 Photo has been personally hand-signed by William Wallace himself, Mel Gibson, during his signing with Celebrity Authentics. Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" is a full-throated, red-blooded battle epic about William Wallace, the legendary Scots warrior who led his nation into battle against the English in the years around 1300. It's an ambitious film, big on simple emotions like love, patriotism and treachery, and avoids the travelogue style of so many historical swashbucklers: Its locations look green, wet, vast, muddy and rugged. It is sometimes seen as an egotistical gesture when actors direct themselves, especially in heroic epics costing (so they say) $53 million. The truth is, given this material, I do not know that anyone could have directed it better. Gibson marshals his armies of extras, his stunt men and his special effects, and creates a fictional world that is entertaining, and thrilling." - Roger Ebert. Ships affixed with Celebrity Authentics serial-numbered Authentication hologram and includes Celebrity Authentics Certificate of Authenticity featuring picture of Mel signing photo.
