So this movie coming out January 13, 2006. And I really, really want to see it. I don't know why (well, I know that since James Franco's in it, I'm automatically watching it), but I don't think it will be that typical of a romance movie. Well, I'm hoping it isn't. Any thoughts on this movie?

The trailer looked really good, go james franco for getting a leading role like that. I've only seen him as the pretty boy in chick flicks, and usually not even the lead pretty boy, just the beauitful but dumb sidekick, so i'd def like to see him in this role. The movie looks sad, but interesting, I'm sure I'll wind up seeing it :) |

Tristan and Isolde is a English/Irish tale, I believe. And it's around King Arthur's time. Isolde is married to this King but she's madly in love in Tristan. They can't be together. The King finds out and sends Tristan away. He marries a girl because the girl reminds him of Isolde. Tristan starts dying and wishes to see Isolde. He writes her a letter. In it, he says if she decides to come see him, her ship should have white sails. If she doesn't wish to see him, then there should be black sails. She goes to see him but Tristan's wife tells him that the ship had black sails. Tristan dies from grief. When Isolde sees that he died, she then dies from a broken heart. I want to see it soo bad. Isolde: How many did you love before me? Tristan: None. Isolde: And how many will you love after? Tristan: None. |

I went to watch it. It wasn't what I expected. I really wanted to get sentimental, but there wasn't that closeness that's expected in a love story. I didn't feel that there was a connection between the two and I guess it kind of brought down the movie as a whole. I'd give it a C, or a C+. The story wasn't that great.

Wow. I have seen the previews and at first I was like "Oh great, a Romeo and Juliet wannabe". But after reading that story and seeing the trailer I really want to see this. It still could suck(Good stories like that often run that risk when hollywood gets it's nasty little hands on them). The trailer does seem a tad different than the story but then again its only a trailer so I could be wrong. Also that was a pretty light story so I guess they had to add more detail. But I still really want to see this. Who knows, it looks like a possible tear-fest lol.
