Tristan and Isolde addiction

I fell in love with the movie Tristan and Isolde. I really did. Okay, disregard the countless love scenes and brutal and violent scenes and focus more into the story and how it was delivered. The film was wonderful. period. Do me a BIG favor, WATCH IT! Your 140 peso ticket would be all worth it and every minute of the 2hour and 10 minute film would be worth watching.Ü We (Me, Mel and Jen) watched the movie last Wednesday in Gateway. I am SOOO thankful that we watched the film. SOOO THANKFUL!

Here are some memorable lines from the movie (do read it, a lot of things can be learned):

Tristan:I live in torture, thinking of these moments. With every look he gives you, I get sicker and sicker. There is a burning in me I feel on fire, and there's guilt I can't comidify. Does it make you happy to know that?
Isolde: The Roman Bridge, I can get to it without being seen, and I'd go there any time to be with you.
***********************************

Isolde: My face in thine eyes, thine in mine appears, And true hearts do in the faces rest; Whatever dies was not mixed equally; If our two loves be one, or though and I. Love is so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
***********************************

Isolde: Know that I love you Tristan. Wherever you go, whatever you see. I'll be there with you.
Tristan: You were right. Life is greater than death. And love is greater than either.
***********************************

Isolde:Love is as strong as death. Why be capable of feelings if we're not to have them? Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?
Tristan: There are other things to live for; duty, honor.
Isolde: They are not life Tristan. They are shells of life. Love is made by God. Ignore it and you suffer as you cannot imagine.
Tristan: Then I will no longer live without it.
************************************


Isolde: Tristan, if we do this...
Tristan: For all time they will say it was our love, brought down a kingdom. Remember us.
************************************

Tristan: Come with me. Come with me!
Isolde: I can't!
Tristan: Why not? Please!
Isolde: Tristan, we both know this can't be, we've known it from the start. That doesn't mean it isn't true, it is, it just cannot be. I want to know that you're alive somewhere thinking of me from time to time. I want to know that there's more to this life and I can't know that if they kill you. Please! Go.
*************************************

Isolde: If things were different, if we lived in a place without duty, would you be with me? Tristan: That place does not exist.
Isolde: [sobs] I'll pretend it's you.
*************************************


Tristan: Your marriage will end a hundred years of bloodshed.
Isolde: [crying] My marriage to another man!
*************************************

Lord Marke: Is it possible a man might not see treachery right in front of him?
*************************************

Isolde: How many have you loved before me?
Tristan: None.
Isolde: And after me?
Tristan: None.

I told you I fell in love with the movie... hehe..Ü
