 ^ this is the film poster for the film braveheart. the preferred reading of the poster would be - an action film set around medievil times which features protagonist mel gibson in an epic adventure. im interested in your negotiated view of the poster, it doesnt have to be long... just a sentence really. Thanks  serious answers if poss please, cheers  |

it's hard to comment coz I've seen the movie so I know what it is about. But having said that, I think it gives a good overall impresion though - you've got the medieval theme but without actually knowing which part of history it refers to. |

After long hard negotiations with myself, I'd say it was about a man who lives, back-combs his hair, rides a white horse waving a big sword - then dies!

a feel good movie for the scots and irish and welsh and germans and french and americans, although they prefer the patriot! |

Rich, what are you exactly getting at in terms of this?
Are you thinking the poster doesn't reflect what the film is really about?
Or are you trying to get an idea of how the poster is constructed to make you think about the type of film you could be seeing?

Fiery love story meets sword-combat epic. It pleasingly doesn't make it obvious that it's about the Scots, miserable swine that they are! Not like those Welsh... *whistles*  |

Thanks serious answers if poss please, cheers a film depicting semi historical facts and mixing it with fiction (as is usual in hollywood), and giving all scots some much loved 'english bashing' to view! still, we won in the end eh?  |

He looks like he's stabbing himself in the leg... In seriousness though, the colours make me think it's going to be a bloody and violent film. I've never seen it, but the reds and oranges fill me with the feeling of unease  |
