I was thinking about a movie I have liked over the years called Braveheart. Have you ever seen it?
Yes! It was many years ago but I liked it. It came out in 1995 when I was a freshman or sophomore in college.
Mel Gibson played the key role of William Wallace. My first time ever seeing him in any  movies was way back when he did Mad Max. I looked up WIlliam Wallace after I had watched Braveheart and found that it was based on a true story. 
Yes, he was a historical character, but many of the legends about him are mythical in nature. And the movie strays even from them. Still, it was a great watch!
I kind of feel like we are fighting for freedoms even in todays world with gun control.
Well at least we're not being invaded by King Edward Longshanks.
That is true. I am pretty sure the Vikings movie was about him. Still, in my opinion it doesn't compare to the fighting that went on in Braveheart. There are so many things we have to be grateful for. I live in the United States and am very honored to have all of the freedoms here. Braveheart was an example of a man paving the way for his people. I feel like we have many of the same here, standing out and paving the way for freedom.
What other freedom fighters do you admire or have interest in?
I actually enjoy some people of the past that have left this earth, kind of fighters for souls. Billy Graham, Irvin Baxter, Kim Clement, to name a few.  They were fighters for God. They wanted others to know the message of salvation and that we are all equally worthy. I also admired people like Martin Luther King who had the spiritual gift of lifting up others in the darkest moments. 
Was Kim Clement South African?
