A warm and wickedly funny fantasy movie

I like sci-fi, magic, and fantasy movies without principles. Unless the film is really crude, vulgar, and childish to the extreme, I can usually watch it with relish.

I like to watch a set of systems shown in movies, which is very different from the real society. As for the plot, logic, morality, and even justice, it's not what I care about. As long as the film can provide me with enough visual impact, tell the unique laws of planetary survival, and show the depth and vastness of the universe, I feel a sense of awe. A shock. These are enough.

Stardust is a fantasy movie I just watched, and the shape of the spaceship in it is very Miyazaki's style.

But there's a vulgar plot in it that I don't like. After Tristan got real love, she had to sneak off to tease Victoria by herself. We understand that this is what the director needs to develop the plot so that the star Yvaine will be heartbroken and the witch will have a chance to capture her. But this arrangement makes Tristan a bit boring.

A similar vulgar scene was seen later. After finally subduing Tristan and Yvaine, the witch can finally get the heart of her hard-earned, coveted star, but she slashes the straps that bind Yvaine with a knife. Looking at his sister's corpse, he said sadly: You go, no one will share with me anymore, everything I care about is gone. But it is a warm look of despair, so vulgar that I want to vomit blood on the spot. But when a couple excitedly hugged each other and walked to the door, the door was closed, and the witch said evilly: Great, thank you for killing my sister, now these are all mine. Hahaha, this is the true nature of a witch. It turned out that I just wanted to tease them. Very good, very powerful, very evil, very witch, I like it.

There are many similar evil and funny plots: for

example, the witch's divination method is different from that of the prince. The prince uses 4 wooden blocks for divination. The witch's divination is to kill a mouse, wolf, crocodile and other animals, and then find a Pile offal for divination. evil enough.

For example, the heir to the throne needs to kill the other 10 or so brothers, and the remaining one is the king. , the old king and the prince are enjoying the succession to the throne. evil enough.

For example, the bunch of dead ghost princes, strangely followed the living princes, watching him go to win the gems to the throne, the team of ghost princes is constantly growing, every time a prince dies and joins their black and white ranks, all It makes people laugh, almost evil to humorous and sad.

A warm and wickedly funny fantasy movie, nothing to say: five stars.

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".
