Tristan And Isolde
I really don't know but there is a hopeless romantic guy just sleeping within me. People might never noticed it, since I really not into actions, including my Princess. I really find it too mushy for that stuffs that is why I never have the guts to show it too much through my actions. But indeed, I am a self proclaimed hopeless romeo.
Last night, I decided to buy a DVD for myself instead of going out to have some booze with my friends. Its new year and I don't want to start the year being wasted. So i tried to be a good boy and locked myself in my room the whole night with the help of the DVD's that I bought.
I am bit choosy when it comes to buying things, most especially DVD's since it is not only for killing time but for my collection as well. After an hour of choosing and scanning the DVDs that are lined up in a cool organized way, I decided to buy two of it: Tristan and Isolde and Monster Inc.
Well, honestly I have tried to watch Tristan and Isolde before when I was still in my dear hometown way back circa 2006, but unfortunately due to a bad copy since it is pirated, I ended up frustrated by not finishing the movie since it is acting crazy. Imagine the movie jumping from one scene to another, freezing up for minutes and the going back to step one. Result: phucking cd!
I never thought the movie can be more beautiful than Romeo and Juliet, which I didn't find soo good so I end up ejecting it out from the player during the first part. It moved me, though you might say to my face that it is another tragic love story. And it opened my eyes to view the different side of being in love.
There's a scene in the movie that breaks my heart after hearing it. It was when Isolde wed King Marke and after the ceremony, Isolde passed Tristan and said these words:
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.
Rejection is part of our lives, and whether we like it or not, it hurts us a lot. What can hurt as more is when the one who promised us beautiful things is the one who will reject us in the end. Life's been like that before my Princess came into my life. And I have learned a lot from it.
There are things more than life. Not death, but love. Love is a powerful thing than can change our lives from just a moment of savoring it.Love creates no boundaries, it always looks beyond on what seemed to be limited with our own eyes. Love is a process of owning someone, but also having the courage to let them go in the end.
We cant have all forever, all good things must come to an end. When that time comes we all must be ready to let go. Letting go is painful, but it is always the consequence of loving someone. I may never know how long I can have my Princess, but one thing for sure, I will love her till my last breath.
Too bad, the ending is tragic.
Indeed, before Romeo and Juliet, there's Tristan and Isolde.
