The 2006 film based on the legend of ''[[Tristan and Iseult (Literature)|Tristan and Iseult]]''. 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 uncle 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 of the adaptations of the legend.
----
=== Contains examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Definitely shorter than some of the interpretations.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: To just mention it briefly, there is James [[Spider -Man|Franco]], Sophia [[Underworld (Filmfilm)|Myles]] and Rufus [[A Knight's Tale|Sewell]] as the main cast of intertwined lovers.
* [[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.
* [[You Fail History Forever]]: So apparently, the Irish oppressed the English at some point in history.
