a B-17 Flying Fortress. The 1992 Welsh language anti-war biographical film Hedd Wyn depicts war poet Ellis Humphrey Evans (Huw Garmon) as a tragic hero, with an intense dislike of the jingoism, ultranationalism, militarism, Anglophilia, and Germanophobia that surrounds him. The film also focuses on Evans' pursuit of his lifelong dream of winning the Bardic Chair at the National Eisteddfod of Wales and on his three-year-long battle against overwhelming pressure to, "join up," during the First World War. The film's emotional impact is increased when the real Hedd Wyn's love poetry and war poetry are read in voiceover at key moments of the film. Hedd Wyn won the Royal Television Society's Television Award for Best Single Drama. It also became the first British motion picture to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards. Director Mel Gibson's 1995 film Braveheart, a biopic of iconic Scottish nationalist leader Sir William Wallace, was according to its screenwriter, Randall Wallace, based heavily upon Blind Harry's 15th century epic poem The Wallace. Several allusions to poems by Robert Burns about the Scottish Wars of Independence also appear in the film. In the 1995 drama film Mr. Holland's Opus, directed by Stephen Herek, high school gym teacher and football coach Bill Meister (Jay Thomas) reads Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae's In Flanders' Fields aloud during the military funeral of Lou Russ (Terrence Howard), a former student who has been killed serving in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. The 1997 film Regeneration focuses on the institutionalisation of English war poet Siegfried Sassoon (James Wilby) and Anglo-Welsh war poet Wilfred Owen (Stuart Bunce) and their treatment by psychiatrist William Rivers (Jonathan Pryce) at Craiglockart War Hospital in Edinburgh during World War I. The film particularly focuses on the character arc of Lt. Sassoon, who, following his open letter demanding a negotiated peace in The Times, has been declared insane and remains confined to the hospital until he volunteers to return to active service on the Western Front. The 2014 film Testament of Youth tells the story of star-crossed lovers and war poets Vera Brittain (Alicia Vikander) and Roland Leighton (Kit Harrington). As in Hedd Wyn, Roland Leighton is depicted as a tragic hero and his love poetry and war poetry are recited in voiceover at key moments of the film.
