I watched "The Heart of the King", which is actually a love story between Tristan and Isolde, and the translation is not very appropriate. The film is similar to Brave Heart, King Arthur's style, but less infectious. However, the story has a heavy history, epic pictures, and beautiful British pronunciation. Although it is a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, I still like it.
There is a poem in it, the one that the two of them recited while cuddling with Isolde under the candlelight, it is very beautiful. After studying English and American literature, I feel more and more that the old English in those poems is very tasteful and difficult to understand, but I like it so much.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in he faces rest;
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp North, without declining West?
Whatever dies was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die.
