A film review that took 6 years to write (purely personal memories)

Write to your university, write to your first love, and write to your magnanimous and passionate youth. This movie is so beautiful, and after 6 years, I added a lot of my own emotions and good memories into it. This time, I am slowly nostalgic and moved after watching it.

In April 2009, I watched Stardust for the first time, halfway through to be exact (until they escaped to the ship). At that time, I was secretly hiding in his dormitory with him, watching with his small notebook. Then I didn't read the rest of it until we broke up 5 months later. It came to an abrupt end.

The beginning of these, like the beginning of youth, is full of fantasy and beauty. There are unicorns, there are stars, and there is magic. Probably at the best age, imagination adds to the beauty of our youth. Now the memories have added to the beautiful longing and yearning for that age.

By the third year, I was together again. After the split, he cherished it in every possible way, but I was still haunted by it, and I still didn't watch the rest of the plot. He went to Tsinghua University when I was a senior, and I moved to 781 and met basically once a week. I still don't understand love, just like I haven't watched the other half of Stardust. I still feel that if the person I love deeply, there is a tacit understanding, rather than being as mediocre as him and me.

In my senior year, I went to study abroad after graduating, and I still didn't continue to watch Stardust. We broke up naturally. After returning to China to meet him, I turned around and left without hesitation. After a few steps, I turned around and he disappeared into the snow. I didn't feel anything. I still haven't watched Stardust, maybe subconsciously, I thought, if we didn't watch it, our relationship isn't over yet.

After continuing to study for a while, I went to San Francisco to watch the sea. There, I thought of him and felt very sorry for him. I wrote a letter to him, which probably means, unlike what I said, I don't like him a long time ago (for the sake of face), in fact, I have always liked him, but it is true that the foreign relationship is too bitter, and I have always regretted it. I didn't say a few words at the last meeting, I've been too mean to him, and I hoped he'd be fine.

On the day I came back from my trip, I watched Stardust. I saw it, the love in Xingchen, I saw that kind of recklessness, that kind of beauty. Looking back, at that time, I hid in the quilt and texted him during military training. When he was sad, he handed him a popsicle/strawberry. I took him to eat all kinds of things, and sat behind his bicycle in Tsinghua University to hug him. I took him, dragged him to run in the Olympic Sports Park, walked with him from the Dazhong Temple to the Xiba River, once patiently wiped his tears, and ate seafood wildly with him in Qinhuangdao, I didn’t want to when he graduated. Take a photo with him and he figured out a way to take a photo with me. When I graduated, he walked to the school with a drunken me on his back, and I took him to the West Station to watch his car disappear on the track. It's all love, it's all memories.

Thank you, Xingchen, for connecting all my youth and my first love.

As of today, it has been almost 2 years since my incumbent and I have a sweet relationship and a high sense of happiness.
Now I look at Stardust again, someone at 520, b station has put it up, so I will revisit it.
It's really emotional. Lovers are married, and youth is precious, and the people who walked with you through this will always stay in your memories. I want to thank those who walked with me, and thank you for the people who sacrificed their lives in youth. Own.
Finally, attach the most beautiful lines. I wish everyone can find the person they love, go all the way, no matter what the final result is, experience the happiness of this process.

I think I love you
My
heart, it fells like my chest can barely contain it
Like
it doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to you
is like...like it doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to you
And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing to
exchange No gifts ,
no goods, no demonstrations for devotion but knowing you love me to nothing but knowing that you love me too Just your heart Just your heart is enough In exchange for mine

    Perhaps this is a movie with a strong commercial flavor, but it was a coincidence. After rewatching it, I found out that there is an almost stubborn determination behind those floral patterns. Firm love, firmly believe that what I found is MRS.RINGHT, and firmly believe that I can make changes and sacrifices for her. A happy ending may be another metaphor for seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. Nice film.

    Compared with Neil Gaiman's original work, it has the same humor, but a little bit less irony, and a little more romantic adventure~~ All the actors are great! ! ! Made a lot of changes for the mainstream of the movie, but it still looks good~~

Stardust quotes

  • [a girl gives a cup to Tristan as he is stabling Primus's horses]

    Tristan: Thank you. That's so kind. My name's Tristan. What's yours?

    Girl Bernard: [in his own voice] Bernard.

  • [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.

    [Yvaine takes Tristan's hand]
