I just got a 2 hour long critique of Braveheart in my Medieval History course last Tuesday.
Apparently, my professor wrote his dissertation how the entire movie is filled with phallic symbols, and the whole premise of the thing is William Wallace fucking his way to victory. He was seriously pumped about this, and he shared with us his perspective on a whole bunch oif scenes in very graphic detail.
I pay money for this.

I had an English teacher in high school that was obsessed with gay imagery in Moby Dick. We got a whole month of gay Dick in that class.

My teacher...A sweaty fat guy in front of the class, talking very loudly about the scene where the Scots are using a battering ram on the gates of York.
He's grabbing the side of his podium and saying how its "All a metaphor for a penis ramming inside a vagina and ramming and ramming, and then at the moment of climate, the walls shatter in a scene of ejaculation"
I think 3/4 of the class were speechless....

ill ALWAYS watch braveheart if it's on. they should make more medieval movies like that one.
best part by far is the revenge scene where he goes back to the village to kill that guy who killed his wife..ill rewind that one fo sho.
if you get the dvd you can watch the director's commentary throughout the entire length of the film. Very interesting.
