Adult, fantasy, fairy tale

"Lord of the Rings" is fantasy and adult, but not fairy tale; "Narnia" is fantasy and fairy tale, but not adult; "Time Machine" is adult, fairy tale, but not fantasy... Finally got it together, adult, fantasy, fairy tale.

This year’s fantasy market is rampant. Perhaps this is also the most important reason why this movie is not popular. But I still can’t understand it, because the lineup alone is gorgeous and messy: "Godfather" Robert De Niro, forever "cat girl" (not Halle Berry's fake) Michelle Pfeiffer, "Juliet" (96 Modern Edition) ) Claire Danes, and "Lawrence of Arabia" Peter O'Toole, and even the dubbing of "Gandalf" Ian McKellen! The actor, the ageless beauty who has been nominated three times, the young golden ball queen, the monumental master, the classic drama bones... it's so beautiful that it makes no sense! I've been wondering whether this filmmaker does not put the actor's salary in the cost.

The plot is actually very simple, but, but this is only discovered after watching the movie, you can imagine how interesting the director told an ordinary fairy tale. The conspiracy of the witch, the successive deaths of the king's son, and Captain Shakespear's little secrets are all so common on their own, but interspersed together gives a rich taste. Grasp the audience in the small details of the design, give the audience space to use small intelligence, the film accurately grasps the adult taste of fairy tales: the unruly blood of the king, the fun after the death of the seven ghost princes, the breasts of the witches become breast pockets , The captain winked at the end, the chief mate's "helplessness", the crew's "support" of the captain's reputation...The entertainment was indeed in place.

The film's soundtrack is also an absolute level of work, especially the chase and bird's-eye view shots. The rush and the atmosphere can compete head-on with the "Lord of the Rings" series. Even better, the film quotes the Cancan from Offenbach’s "Orpheus in Hell" ......") To cooperate with the captain's transvestite dance and the chaotic sword melee on the ship, creating an absolute classic hilarious. I almost didn't laugh when I saw Robert De Niro winking in the mirror! His comedic talent is definitely not limited to the cold humor of his father-in-law.

When it comes to acting, the rookie Charlie Cox is very good at acting as a fool, but later as a lover, the image is a bit clumsy (not a dull clumsy, a bit of a feeling of inadequacy). Claire Dans is one of the newcomers with great acting skills. Whether in "Terminator 3" or "Shopping Guide Girl", her appearances have a different flavor. To be honest, I personally don't think she is so beautiful, but her beauty has a very special charm. She can always stand out in the crowd. But when it comes to Fenghua, another female starring Michelle Pfeiffer will absolutely overwhelm the audience. She is comfortable with the sordid witches and the seductiveness of the witches. As mentioned earlier, Robert De Niro is a comedic role in this film, which is a bit deviated from his consistent image of a tough guy for decades, but another master, Peter Otto, even though he only played for three minutes, put him As always, unrestrained and unrestrained, easily integrated into an apocalyptic emperor, the old man who is almost 80 is so handsome...The

film is basically perfect as a whole. The story is compact, entertaining, and performance is outstanding, special effects are exquisite, the scene is magnificent, the music is magnificent, the beginning and the end are responsive, the intention is ordinary but not vulgar, adult, fantasy, fairy tale, three elements are not lacking, it is a rare masterpiece, this year's best Fantasy movie.

    2007.3.28 DVD is a good movie that is easy to overlook. If the poster can be changed, the effect will be much better. Think about it this way, how many good movies have been missed!

    The story is outdated and the feelings are not deep. The "Last War" is usually the most abrupt when the hero leaves the stars. The end of the "Last War" is also ridiculous. The witches "let go" and the two are unreasonable, and the stars "glow" even more. "Dragon Sword" is no different, it's all plot needs. On the contrary, the prince’s ghosts and pirates are vivid and have a rich comic effect. The prince gets along well after death, which has the philosophical meaning of "a death and enmity".

Stardust quotes

  • Septimus: [briefing his men] Now remember Captain Shakespeare has a fearsome reputation.

    [cuts to scenes of Captain Shakespeare painting a heart on his face and then dancing to the Can Can, dressed in a frock and a feather boa, intertwined with scenes of Septimus's men attacking Shakespeare's crew only to get overpowered]

    Septimus: [enters the cabin and sees the Captain in drag] What the hell is this?

  • Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
