interpretation of light, capture the essence of
the subject without the harsh realism of previous
centuries. Earlier on in his career Monet's

King Of England Mel Gibson

was Braveheart. Staring in this movie was Mel
Gibson (William Wallace), Patrick McGoohan (King

best movie of all time. It had a lot of good war,
love and inspirational scenes to occupy any mind
