After Tristan & Isolde and Robin Hood, i think Ridley Scott just really wanted an English version of Braveheart (it should’ve been better since he’s been planning it since the 70s). I noticed that none of the actors are Irish 😅, I wonder if they all refused roles. There’s a version of this movie from the 80s called “lovespell” where Kate mulgrew plays Isolde, the Irish are shown in a much better light in that one.

@Caleb Watches Movies As for your confusion about England being the good guys fighting invading Irish. Back then the Irish were raiding sometimes invading parts of Britain. In fact in the battle of Brunanburh where England first became a united independent kingdom, the English were fighting off the invasion from the kingdom of Dublin.

The movie isn’t bad, but it doesn’t quite match with my perception of the story through the opera, Tristan and Isolde, by Wagner, which is an epic. The movie is a decent action romance, which is what most people would like, and that’s fine.

Fine is the best word to describe the film

I wonder how good it might be if someone digitally re-scored the movie with parts of the opera

I have to disagree with this take. The movie did come across as too "on the nose" setting up for payoffs later in the movie but I viewed the first half as slow and dull and the second half picking up in pace in terms of advancing the plot and making the characters more interesting.

Plagued by incredibly gratuitous rape scenes that went well beyond what was necessary to tell the story. James Franco was the pretty face providing absolutely no substance nor added interpretation to his character, Tristan. The Reynolds-fronted writing and filmmaking groups' decision to cap Franco's spoken dialogue plays out like a loud and distracting admission that casting was an epic disaster of sorts, sticking us with a brooding, vapid, relatively untrained one-note thespian deeply lacking in stage presence and overall commitment to the role. Isolde, played by Sophie Myles, had far more conviction and commitment to the character's arc, at least in my opinion which apparently is not a popular take - viewers enjoyed performances by Rufus Sewell and Henry Cavill but sadly even the campy "greasy ferret"-doppelganger Mark Strong did not escape the sometimes clownish screenwritıng - Strong is damn near unrecognizable, perhaps responsible for the cringiest scene in the film if not top 5. especially as a young green American actor best known at that time for character roles and film projects marred with "self-indulgent," "contrived," "pretension godforsaken bollox and gobshite he calls an English accent. 😫

When I saw Tristan and Isolde when it came out, I... I... I don't remember. I found the movie so forgettable, that I cannot recall anything about it other than I went to see it. If I come across it, I will give it another shot. I also found Run Fatboy Run to be a bit banal. I had high hopes, coming off of Hot Fuzz which came out the same year, but Run didn't seem inspired or interesting or relatable. I found Man Up (2015) to be a better rom-com with Pegg.
