The school of thought in which a movie
may approach the level of Braveheart, but
may never reach it, only head towards the theoretical infinity where Braveheart resides.
It should be noted that the x-axis on which the Braveheart Asymptote exists does not necessarily refer to a
single idea (i.e. quality, awesomeness, number of bagpipes) but rather everything that Braveheart is and all other movies aspire to be.
Dude 1: Independance Day was a fantastic movie, maybe better than Braveheart.
Dude 2: Unfortuntaly, that is
impossible
Dude 1: Why's that?
Dude 2: Because of the Braveheart Asymptote.
Dude 1:
Oh, yeah,
ok I get it.
