		Tristan und Isolde (Tristan and Isolde) is an opera in three acts by Richard Wagner to a German libretto by the composer, based on the romance by Gottfried von Strassburg, which in turn was based on the story of Tristan and Isolde incorporated into Arthurian legend from earlier interpretations of...
		Tristan and Isolde was the first opera to be finished after Wagner had published his many theories, and it was their completest refutation.
		Isolde, half-crazed, tells the whole story as it occurred previous to the rising of the curtain—how she nursed the wounded Tristan, found him to be the slayer of her betrothed, took his sword and was about to kill him, when he opened his eyes, and the sword dropped from her listless fingers.

		On the long journey, Tristan and Isolde realize their passion for each other and attempt suicide by drinking what they believe to be a death potion; however, Isolde's maid, not willing to help Isolde die substitutes a love potion, causing them to fall even more deeply in love.
		Instead Isolde is enraged by the knight Tristan, whom she sees standing on the afterdeck, avoiding her: by delivering her to his uncle, he shows no regard for her feelings.
		Tristan recalls the tune, which he heard as a child in connection with his parents' death and which he later associated with his own near-death after the duel with Morold.

	TRISTAN and ISOLT: INTRODUCTION
		Tristan and Isolt's conflict of love and loyalty is one of the classic tales of Western literature; in the Arthurian tradition, their tragic tragectory rivals and complements that of Lancelot and Guinevere.
		The most influential medieval telling of Tristan and Isolde's tragedy was that written by the mysterious "knyght presoner" Sir Thomas Malory as part of his collection of tales delineating the rise and fall of King Arthur, commonly known as the Morte d'Arthur.
		By deflecting and downplaying the dramatic moment of the Tristram and Isolde material, Malory preserves the continuing tension of the Lancelot-Guinevere relationship, which is central to the overall trajectory of his narrative in a way that Tristram and Isolde's story is not.

		Isolde hands it to Tristan, who fully understands Isolde's meaning and half of her intention—if, indeed, there is another half, for Wagner has given Isolde a true touch of womanly character in leaving it uncertain whether or not she really means to poison herself.

	Review: Tristan & Isolde
		It is believed that the story of Tristan and Isolde may be the inspiration for that of Lancelot and Guinevere and, at least as presented in Reynolds' version of the story (penned by Dean Georgaris), the Arthurian elements come to the fore.
		Tristan is apparently killed in battle, and his body is floated out to sea on a funeral boat.
		Isolde is beautiful, but she's also wet and/or grimy a lot of the time, and the places where lords live aren't full-service facilities.

	Tristan und Isolde (Wagner) - Synopsis
		It undulates gracefully through Brangäne’s reply to Isolde’s question as to the vessel’s course, surges wildly around Isolde’s outburst of impotent anger when she learns that Cornwall’s shore is not far distant, and breaks itself in savage fury against her despairing wrath as she invokes the elements to destroy the ship and all upon it.
		Isolde, seeking to control her agitation, strides to the couch, and, supporting herself by it, gazes fixedly at the entrance where Tristan remains standing.
		When Tristan loses himself in sad memories of Isolde, Kurwenal seeks to comfort him with the news that he has sent a trusty man to Cornwall to bear Isolde to him that she may heal the wound inflicted by Melot as she once healed that dealt Tristan by Morold.

		Isolde and Tristan passionately kiss and she lies back, with her long hair covering her bare breasts, but we then see that it's Marke who's getting on top of her (in a head and shoulders shot that shows some movement).
		We then see Isolde and Tristan post-sex in the woods, with him shirtless and her sitting (facing away from the camera) holding some sort of material up to her chest (we see her bare back that's facing the camera).
		Tristan learns that her father the king has promised her to his second in command who's desirous of a wife (and she's not happy about this).

	'Tristan and Isolde' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tristan's parents were killed in an Irish attack and he was raised as a son by Britain's powerful Lord Marke (an especially effective Rufus Sewell, Nixonian 5 o'clock shadow and all).
		Isolde's mother was felled by "ill vapors," leaving her at the mercy of her brutal father, the Irish King Donnchadh (David Patrick O'Hara), an early practitioner of royal realpolitik who is not above promoting a politically expedient match to a huge bruiser for his only child.
		Realism, however, goes only so far in "Tristan and Isolde." The happy couple inexplicably have access to a John Donne poem written a thousand years in the future, and clunky lines of dialogue on the order of "this is a dangerous game you're playing" and the ever-popular "God, what have I done?" make frequent appearances.

	"Tristan & Isolde" (2006) / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Roger Ebert writes, “Sophia Myles plays Isolde as the daughter of a king, raised by the king’s rules, true to her own emotions but true, too, to her duty.” This is partly true in that she marries the Irish king.
		Tristan and Isolde, contrary to some opinion, is not a film about lust and carnal desire, but it is rather about choices and consequences and their impact on true love.
		Tristan and Isolde’s love for each did not justify either of these sins, and in fact caused great pain not only to themselves but to countless others.
