| Tristan and Isolde | comment |
The 2006 film based on the legend of Tristan and Iseult, directed by Kevin Reynolds and produced by Ridley Scott. It stars James Franco and Sophia Myles as the eponymous lovers of the title; they fell in love after Tristan is left for dead and the Irish princess Isolde and her nurse tend to his wounds, causing the affection between Tristan and Isolde to grow, but things turn sour when Isolde (who is deeply in love with Tristan) learns she is instead to be betrothed to his lord and father figure Marke. The film also attempts to be as realistic as possible for the setting, one example being that there is no mention of King Arthur, who usually is present, at least in the background, of most versions of the legend. | |

| Tristan and Isolde / int_120a6a29 | comment |
Artistic Licence – History: While the Irish did actually invade Britain at one point during the Dark Ages, their forces were nowhere near as powerful as shown in the film. British forces were more concerned with fighting off the Anglo-Saxons than the Irish. | |

| Tristan and Isolde / int_24067bb9 | comment |
Related in the Adaptation: Inverted. Marke is Tristan's uncle in the mythology, but I'm he film he is Tristan's father's friend who saves his life when his father is killed by Irish raiders and raises him like a son. | |

Mortal Wound Reveal | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_2ccdff6c | comment |
Mortal Wound Reveal: To Tristan near the beginning of the film. His wound initially appears not that serious, but just as we're informed that the weapon was poisoned he collapses, apparently dead. Being the protagonist, he gets better, but his friends don't know that. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Tristan dies during the epic battle at the end, though Isolde is left alive, mourning her love. Potentially, it could have a been a Downer Ending, since most adaptations of the story usually end with both the lovers dying together. | |

Annoying Arrows | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_43f2f606 | comment |
Annoying Arrows: Multiple characters take arrows in combat. At most, they take a few seconds to remove and the character continues on. Near the end, one character takes an arrow to the back, mid torso; he looks annoyed and charges into battle, arrow still sticking out of his back. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Counts for all the retellings: "Tristan" alludes to "triste" (French for "sad"), which foreshadows the Downer Ending of the love story.note This is not the true etymology of the name, which goes back to the Welsh "Drystan" (Latinized "Drustanus"). It was specifically adapted to sound like "triste", however. | |

Intimate Lotion Application: One scene has Isolde rubbing an ointment into Tristan's chest wound in an intimate fashion, and she's embarrassed when Bragnae walks in on them, instantly pulling back her hand from his chest. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: Isolde loves Tristan, Marke is betrothed to Isolde for political reasons, Tristan loves Isolde. Made complicated by the fact that Marke and Tristan love each other as surrogate father and son. | |

Composite Character | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: The legend's association with King Arthur usually has him in the background as The High King whom Marke is (at least in name) allied with and subordinate to as king/lord of Cornwall. Here, while Arthur does not directly appear, Marke is cast as the Arthur-figure, who aims to unify the British as their high king against the Irish. | |

Romantic Runner-Up | |

Romantic Runner-Up: Marke, who marries Isolde. For added salt in the wound, Tristan wins Isolde's hand on his behalf, not realising until it's too late. | |

Adaptational Nationality | |
| Tristan and Isolde / int_ff6d8ad9 | comment |
Adaptational Nationality: In the legend Tristan is a Cornish knight and thus a Celtic Briton. In the beginning of the movie, it's established that Tristan is Jutish and raised by Marke, the Celtic lord of Cornwall. This comes from the movie lumping "Pict, Celt, Angle, Jute and Saxon" all under the British tribes against the Irish in the wake of Rome's withdrawal from the British isles. In reality and in early Arthurian legend, the Jutes were a Germanic group related to the Angles and Saxons, and they along with the Celtic Picts, Scottish (both distinct groups from Scotland) and Irish were rivals to the Celtic Britons. | |
