I love this story. It tells what true love is.

Tristan's process from liking Victoria to liking Yvaine is the process from a boy's first love to love someone and becoming a man.
Yvaine does not need to be more beautiful than Victoria. The director has found an actor who is not too beautiful to play Yvaine. I think it is the brilliant point. Although she is a star, she only needs to use soft or strong light to shine other people’s eyes when she shines. That's it, there is no need to find a beautiful woman who is indispensable and incomprehensible to play.
If the heroine is too beautiful, it will weaken the ideological connotation of the story, making people think that the hero is just looking for a more beautiful girl to replace the previous one.
What it actually wants to express is from the ignorant and ignorant love of vanity to the sincere and candid affection, there is a world of difference between these two kinds of likes and two kinds of love.
Just like Lazarus in Heinlein’s "Time Is Enough for Your Love", who lived for thousands of years, married countless times, and had countless offspring, but only realized true love when they met Dora. They opened up wasteland together, and each other Consolation, mutual support, mutual help, they are friends, relatives, lovers, sexual partners, each other’s beliefs, destination and soul’s dependence, they are in the flesh and in the flesh, when a person passes away, another person’s body Some of them died, and they didn't want to live forever.
They are not ascetic, dependent on inertia to maintain each other, nor are they pretending to be open-minded, self-deceiving and forgetting each other. They are legends, love, likes, and the only ones.
Stardust is a true fairy tale. Tristan, who was in love with the stars and fell in love with the stars, has lived a happy life with the stars since then:
They ruled for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who possesses the heart of the star. And Yvaine had given hers to Tristan completely. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time to light the Babylon candle. And they still live happily ever after.

Stardust quotes

  • Tristan: Don't you ever sleep?

    Yvaine: Not at night. May have escaped your notice, genius, but that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Tristan: Yeah, well, it may have escaped yours, but you're not in the sky anymore. Coming out is off the agenda. Shining has been suspended until further notice. Oh, and sleeping during the day is O-U-T. Unless you have some magical ability to sleep while you're walking.

    Yvaine: Have you not got it into your thick head yet? I'm not walking anywhere!

  • Tristan: I find the fastest way to travel is by candlelight.

    [showing the candle]

    Yvaine: You've got a Babylon candle.

    Tristan: Yeah, I have a bubbling candle.

    Yvaine: A *Babylon* candle.

    Tristan: That's what I said.

    Yvaine: You said "bubbling".
