User's review

Here is a movie inspired by forces that would make even Plato a fan of drama. Although it is comic in tone, it nevertheless captures the romantic spirit, not only a Scottish spirit but a human spirit, that can leave an audience feeling good about the human race. At one point the Hamilton character says "The soul of a nation is carried in the spirit of its people," and I think the film well-portrayed, in that light, how the actions of a few can inspire the many, by reminding them of who they are and what they can accomplish if they maintain the innocence of fraternity and hope. As we are dragged through an era when Hamilton's words seem meaningless to the self-interested and self-enlightened, this film well-illustrates a moral turn toward a sense of self-as-member-of-something-larger-than-self, and how that turning can dissolve the nauseating ennui of selfhood that so many of us suffer from.
