I am going to put aside any sense of familiarity here, but whenever the music is being played, my love for this film grows. I have to admit that I am slightly puzzled with it at times it feels like a genuine Scottish music, but also at the same time it feels like a plain modern music, but either way it is beautiful. In my personal opinion, the most memorable element of 'Braveheart' is it's music, which was being composed by the talented James Horner. The film grabbed five academy awards including best picture. An undeniably immense picture, it is one of few epics that could possibly move millions. 'Braveheart' managed to sweep through with romance, drama and war. It's music sips through my ear, enters me, moved me, and almost tear me up. With Disney picking up their 3D animation production since Frozen, I think people will eventually remove the "first Pixar failure" label from Brave and give it a more objective review.I could still remember on how reposeful I am while watching this movie. The general public's expectation for Pixar is no longer as high as a decade ago. Since Brave, Pixar is making more and more forgettable original, like The good dinosaur, Onward, Luca. But people anticipated more from Pixar, like people anticipate more from a Nolan new film or James Cameron new film. If it was made by any other studio, people would probably appreciate it more, consider it was actually well made, with state of the art animation. The first time Pixar's original didn't WOW anyone. With every new release, they either launched a new franchise (the toy stories, monster inc, the incredibles, the cars) of TV shows, merchandise and sequels, or set a new milestone for animation film story telling & technology (ratatouille, wall-e, up) that made them accepted by wider audience base and the critics.Īnd then Brave came, the first miss by Pixar. You have the put in the historic context, Pixar at that time was unstoppable, every original they made was either a huge box office hit, a global culture phenomenon or both.
