Talk:Tristan & Isolde (film)

Title
Have changed title from Tristan and Isolde to what is listed on the screen Tristan + Isolde. --23:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Chickenspanker
 * No, the official name is Tristan & Isolde. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375154/board/flat/39575188?d=39575188#39575188 — Gulliver ✉  02:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it could be listed as an alternative title? --Brian1979 10:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, IMDb shows the film as Tristan + Isolde. But the IMDb messageboards aren't a reliable source, and especially since IMDb deletes old posts (rendering the above link absolutely pointless). I came here to suggest a title change as well. The film's title on-screen is what's important. Otherwise, Independence Day (film)'s article should be changed to ID4.

POV?
"Despite the poor financial reception, and poor to mixed critical reception, the film has established somewhat of a cult status, with the film very much favoured by general moviegoers."

I think this bit should be deleted as it seems POV and "the film has established somewhat of a cult status, with the film very much favoured by general moviegoers" will be difficult to impossible to cite as it seems just an opinion.--Brian1979 10:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It got 73% from the audience at Rotten Tomatoes. If we can cite the 32% from the critics, what's so difficult about citing the 73% from the audience? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.25.191.170 (talk) 04:27, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Tagline
Is the tagline grammatically correct? Should it not be "there were" instead of "there was"? --mrp 30/4/06


 * I don't think so. The phrase "Tristan and Isolde" doesn't mean, "the two people called Tristan and Isolde". It means, "the story whose title is Tristan and Isolde". Since there is only one story, the subject of the verb is a singular noun and so the verb conjugates in the singular.


 * By the same token, the phrase Joe's windows is open can be grammatically correct if there is a man called Joe who has a shop that sells windows (called Joe's windows) and if that shop is currently open. --Oscar Bravo 06:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


 * That is correct. What's the difficulty? --216.208.52.49 20:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
