Although it is only a beautiful legend that has been circulated for thousands of years, and although it is the theme of Gone with the Wind, it cannot be denied that this is an excellent work. Not to mention the epic historical background where the cold weapons are intertwined, and the picturesque scene design, the protagonist's perfect performance and just the right contradictions are enough to bring people back to the era after the fall of ancient Rome, and The protagonists experience the thrilling legend of war and love, love and sorrow intertwined together.
The film is quite exquisite, with the seaside as the main scene, the beauty of the landscape is refreshing, the sound of the battle of the soldiers seems to be in the middle, the music that comes to mind at the right time echoes the progress of the story, and the sound, light and shadow create the most appropriate atmosphere for the development of the plot. , simply impeccable. Of course, even more intense than these are the engaging storylines that progress smoothly.
Love arises because of war, but also ends in war. Tristan is a warrior and a hero of the country, and his role determines that his love must be a tragedy. Isolde yearns for freedom and love, but he can't control his own destiny. Because of the war, he encounters his own happiness, but because of the war, he also loses his happiness forever. The two met because of Tristan's injury and fell in love in the hut next to the island. What is embarrassing is that this short-lived love was terminated because of Tristan's special guest status. The two reluctantly parted with tears. Isolde's pseudonym left that paradise of love. After returning to England, in order to help the king realize his dream, Tristan participated in alliance fighting and won a woman for the king, but he did not expect that person to be Isolde, and Isolde also thought that he would become Tristan's woman, "i am yours", but the Irish king cruelly told his daughter that she was the wife of the king of England.
Destiny made a grand joke with two loved ones. If Isolde hadn't hid his identity as a princess in a hurry, how could Tristan send his favorite person to someone else's arms at the cost of his life? . If Tristan hadn't been a national hero, and if Isolde hadn't been a princess, they could have lived the lives of ordinary people. If only if, and reality is reality after all. Isolde tells Tristan at the wedding, "i pretend it is you", which kicks off the tragedy.
However, how can love be easily restrained, two people use all possible opportunities to meet, between love and responsibility, trust and betrayal, they choose love and betrayal. However, how can there be an impermeable wall in the world? The love between the two was finally revealed and brought bloody disaster to the country. Isolde confessed the story between her and Tristan to the king, and the king finally let them live, but Tristan chose the country and responsibility to send Isolde away from the war and save the country himself.
Tragedy is easier to remember than comedy. Tristan and Isolde's love died in war, do they have any other choice between love and national responsibility, between individual and country? "i don`t know if life is greater than death, but love was more than either!" Tristan's last words, like Isolde's "i pretend it is you", are ordinary and powerful. Flat, the impact of language is used to the extreme.
Unfortunately, after the film was introduced, it changed its name to "The Heart of the King", which once again reflects the helplessness of art to compromise with the market. Tristan was not a king at first, and he didn't accept the throne later. In his opinion, love is more important than the throne, so this translation is not true to the story, let alone to properly express the theme. However, without this name, how many audiences would there be less in the theater, or this is what the publisher cares more about. After all, the legend of "Tristan and Isolde" does not have such a deep mass base in China.
