Story Synopsis:
The winner of five 1995 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture and Director, “Braveheart”is an epic tale of one man’s fight for Scotland’s freedom from England. Producer/director Mel Gibson stars as the legendary William Wallace, a fiery intellectual Scotsman who risks his life to lead his countrymen to fight for their women, land, and most of all, independence from the greedy English King Edward I, or Edward the Longshanks (McGoohan). Wallace’s courage becomes an inspiration even to his enemies.
LaserDisc Picture:
The THX®-quality assured picture is presented in a 2.32:1 aspect ration. Picture quality is exemplary with images that are sharp and detailed. The picture is beautifully natural with fully saturated colors, natural fleshtones and deepb lacks. There is no noise or artifacts.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack presents an expansive orchestral score, beautifully recorded, with subtle surround envelopment. The directional spatial effects on the Dolby® Digital soundtrack creates a wonderful ambient soundfield.
