There are many commercial films that take simple plots and complex processes to the extreme. The best example is "Pirates of the Caribbean". The story that can be told in a few words is full of entertainment. The small twists and turns in the evolution of the plot and Johnny Day Pu's acting alone fascinated the audience. "Stardust" almost reproduces the routines of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but these humor are more derived from Neil Gaiman's settings in the original novel. For example, the captain played by Robert De Niro brings a group of brothers and makes a living by catching lightning in the clouds. In front of the brethren, he is a majestic captain, but in fact he is a transvestite, and serving as a captain is just for business. In addition, the seven intriguing princes in the story are also a bright spot. After being cursed, they remain in the world in the form of souls and cannot leave until someone inherits the throne. So the black and white ghosts of these princes kept their appearance when they died, commenting on the progress of the story like an audience. Finally, since it is a fantasy film, the scenes still need to be talked about. The investment in "Stardust" is only more than 70 million US dollars, which is not much, but Matthew Vaughan has made a moving world that is slightly similar to reality but more imaginative. There are not many scenes in the film, but both the witch’s palace and the pirate ship in the sky are impressive. In general, "Stardust" is a good movie that is neat in all aspects and should not be missed. This fairy tale is a bit similar to the 2006 "Lady in the Water", if you are willing to believe it, you will find it very beautiful. ()

Probably this is my favorite fairy tale. The adventures of the prince, beauty, witch, magic knight, and love... A stone wall cannot stop the bravery and growth of the young man. And his love can make a star stay in the world, let her shine with dazzling light, only love. I also like Captain Shakespeare! The original novel Neil Gaiman read when he was in middle school and gave it to the girl he liked back then.

[Tristan and Yvaine are imprisoned in the pirate ship]
Yvaine: They're going to kill us, aren't they?
Tristan: I don't know.
Yvaine: You know, it's funny. I used to watch... I used to watch people having adventures. I envied them.
Tristan: You ever heard the expression "Be careful of what you wish for"?
Yvaine: What, so ending up with my heart cut out - that will serve me right?
Tristan: No, I didn't mean it like that. Look, I admire you dreaming. A shop boy like me... I could never have imagined an adventure this big in order to wish for it. I just thought I'd find some lump of celestial rock, take it home and that would be it.
Yvaine: And you got me.
[they both begin to laugh]
Yvaine: If there's one thing I've learned about all my years watching Earth, is that people aren't what they may seem. There are shop boys, and there are boys who just happen to work in a shop for the time being. And trust me Tristan, you're no shop boy. You saved my life. Thank you.
