A men's man.

Tristan____a men's man!
 
The answer why this movie attracts so many audiences and high appreciations these years is may not because the hero's appealing apperance or charming characteristics but rather the time in which he lived, a time when a man's word meant something, when a man did his utmost to protect his brothers, his woman and all those he loved,a time when justice was certain and swift, and a time when men did not back down.

Sometimes I even dreamed to escape to that time when life, though hard, was relatively simple. I still do; living in such a world where undeclared agression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery and impending immolation are part of our daily lives, we all need a code to live by.

It's really an impressive movie, better than Forrest Gump in my mind.
