It's not fresh

To be honest, I really like watching Western historical films. However, after watching epics like "Braveheart" and "Gladiator", it is a bit boring to watch such a mediocre film. Some basic facts are unclear, some fights are inexplicable, the Irish king's sudden transition from crusade to appeasement lacks transition... it all turns my stomach on. As for love, there is no contagion at all, it seems to be love for love's sake. A film that could have been made very well was later abandoned halfway.
To tell the truth, these faults, let the editing take care of it, there is hope for remedy, but in this day and age, how many directors will stare at editing?

    Romeo and Juliet-style romance in the medieval legend, after watching it, you can only feel the blindness and greatness of love.

Tristan + Isolde quotes

  • Isolde: Yesterday at the market, I saw a couple holding hands... and I realized we'll never do that. Never anything like it. No picnics or unguarded smiles. No rings. Just... stolen moments that leave too quickly.

  • Lord Marke: Isolde, I was trying to explain to Tristan the importance of love. Seems he might live without it.

    Isolde: Why?

    Tristan: There are other things to live for: duty, honor.

    Isolde: But they are not life Tristan. They are the shells of life, and empty ones if in the end all they hold are days and days without love. Love is made by God. Ignore it and you suffer as you cannot imagine.

    Tristan: Then I will no longer live without it.
