Middle Ages, the period following the fall of the Roman Empire.
Britain is divided into various tribes, many separate factions that are attractive and easy conquest of land by the Irish troops the cruel king Donnchadh , who does not miss the opportunity to invade and take with the strength of the castles of that area to put them under his rule, before the various "Lords" are able to unify their territories.
the evening fell a bit now 'time, covering everything in darkness. Inside the large building British life goes on as usual. It 's a pretty quiet time, there are men who speak softly to each other, while resting from the hard day just passed. Soon the quiet of night wrap everything. They may not know, but it is a fate insidious lurking hidden in the dark, is a matter of short time and then nothing will ever be.
E 'matter of time, evil comes out, others with an incredible violence burst onto the scene, bringing death and destruction. The sad little assist helpless in the massacre, in the eyes of a child of the absurdity of what happens, wonder and fear. Just in time to hide under a trap door, driven by force from his father, that this act of extreme love it also saves the die. Re-emerge shortly afterwards by his providential and cramped shelter, is equivalent to being in hell even bigger. Indescribable scene around him, can not stand still, frozen, before such cruel destruction. Fortunately, they take two hands providential, it is the young Lord Marke .
Years pass. Raised as a good son by Marke, the small Tristan has become a strong and valiant warrior, he hated violence has mastered to use weapons, but you know, is the need for the mother of invention, and in these places , defense is the only way to survive. Tristan knows the brave, fighting for this every time a hero, he does for Lord Marke, and knows that it's for a good cause. It 'going to last one day be able to unify all the various tribes and so can finally live in peace, but first you must fight the enemy of Ireland, which wants to prevent by force the execution of this design. E 'during a of these battles that Tristan is badly wounded. Now considered a goner and is situated on a small boat and left to the slow stream of water, so that it can carry far beyond the curtain of mist and the horizon, so to honor his end, as is tradition in these places.
Things are different, life in this case is stronger than death, the course of events weaves the threads of an unexpected future. Tristan is found and lovingly tended by Isolde, the daughter of King Donnchadh rival, chooses not to reveal his true identity. It 's a mistake, one will notice later, when it will be brought in marriage to Lord Marke, just from an unconscious Tristan. Because the love between them had already long since blossomed in the days following that random, dramatic encounter on the beach, immediate, simple attraction, and soon had taken all the thoughts, when the harsh reality had separated them. Find almost strangers, in the new situation, it will be both a very difficult test, a fight between the sentiments and sense of duty. Against the background of dark power struggles, battles and passion. Where to look and not be able to touch may be more difficult than a battle. Where the sentence pronounced by Isolde, "I'll pretend that it is ...", you can do more harm than a sword!
- The film is inspired by the famous Celtic legend of Tristan and Isolde , which is much older than that of Lancelot and Geneva. The love of this troubled young couple could be compared to the much better known and more expensive than we Romeo and Juliet. Both are living a difficult and impossible story, different lives and destinies that should never have crossed, but who meet for a game of chance. It does not matter then, if Montagues and Capulets or British and Irish are fighting each other, love knows no barriers.
Più avanti, le scene diventano più lente, dominate da un'atmosfera tranquilla, per rappresentare al meglio i primi momenti della storia d'amore tra Tristano e Isotta, come a far risaltare poesia e bellezza di un sentimento che emerge e si distingue, da quella reality of violence and war that surrounds them.
To then return again at a rapid pace, at times when the plot shows the suggestive and bloody duels in Ireland, or even the final, where the whole is added a slight but engaging level of suspense.
The story is simple enough, but the predictability of the story is not totally obvious, the legend of Tristan and Isolde, which reads the books, is a little different from the one told in the film. Dean Georgaris, which took over the script and Kevin Reynolds director who oversaw the , were rightly granted licenses narrative.
However, the difficult history between the two protagonists, the impossible love and tormented that should emerge arrogant, provocative and suffering, to fully engage the viewer, can not touch the emotional chords. The reason for this is to be found even in inappropriate level of interpretation with which James Franco Tristan has, unfortunately, is often with very little expression and can not do it to provide the best, the passion and the feeling that the particular matter requires.
Among the actors, thankfully, is distinguished by Rufus Sewell, is able to give a human dimension to Lord Marke remarkable among all the characters is what seems most true, that brings out their inner conflicts, suffering and deep mood, in a manner so engaging, that at some point in the film I started rooting for him to stay on his side, hoping that the story could be different; that Isolde was aware of his qualities, more than was mature, much better than Tristan, on the contrary, in these scenes is so handsome, but stunned by the beauty of a picture story! Lord Marke, however, can boast a charismatic personality, an aura of light and attractive, winning result of outward beauty and presence of mind. But here the law must take its course and as it should be, the events have their own design "rather" fixed.
The setting is the di forza del film. Luoghi stupendi, affascinanti castelli, la bellezza incantevole di una zona irlandese in cui la durezza delle scogliere, si fonde e si addolcisce con la tranquilla distesa del mare e l'azzurro luminoso del cielo. O ancora, l'incanto surreale del paesaggio inglese notturno, con l'oscurità e una leggera, fumosa cortina di nebbia ad avvolgere la vegetazione e poi scenari di boschi, dove la natura incontaminata sembra essere in contrasto con la presenza invasiva degli uomini.
Incanto, durezza e romanticismo in questa pellicola, la consiglio a chi ama il genere sentimentale, è attratto dalle ambientazioni e ricostruzioni storiche, vuole conoscere e confrontare l'antica leggenda celtica con questa trama. Oppure, desidera solo leave for a moment the usual everyday reality, to immerse yourself in the charming scenery of England and Ireland, a love story of the past.
- Duration of the film: two hours and five minutes
