humorous fantasy, fairy tale

Jarrod 2022-04-21 09:01:22

The plot is very fairy tale. The visuals are nice.
The male protagonist is youthful and invincible, and the female protagonist is honest and infatuated. In contrast, the male protagonist's parents are more eye-catching.
Both the sexy and glamorous version of the witch and the goosebump hair version are impressive. I really like Michelle so much, and acting as a villain is so good.
The 6 contenders for the throne turned into ghosts one after another, commenting while watching the play. Even if they were wicked in their lifetime, they became so vivid and humorous after death, so cute.
At the end, I got goosebumps watching the pirate captain wink at the hero's former rival. De Niro can really act.

All in all, it's a movie with a better supporting cast.

Stardust quotes

  • Yvaine: Are you tempted?

    Tristan: Tempted, by what?

    Yvaine: Immortality. Let's say it wasn't *my* heart. Not me. Just a star you didn't know.

    Tristan: You seriously think I could kill anyone?

    [Yvaine giggles]

    Tristan: I mean, even if I could... Everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.

  • [outside the witches' castle]

    Septimus: [as he holds a sword to Tristan's throat] Who are you? What business do you have here?

    Tristan: [he sees the number 7 mark on Septimus' hand] Septimus... I knew your brother, Primus.

    Septimus: Unless you wish to meet him in the afterlife, I suggest you answer my question. What are you doing here?

    Tristan: I might ask you the same thing!

    [Septimus realises that Tristan is holding a butter knife to his gut]

    Septimus: Ah...

    [they both lower their weapons and peer through the window]

    Septimus: There are four of them. Do as I say and we may stand a chance.

    Tristan: Wait! How do I know you can be trusted?

    Septimus: You don't. Why? Do you have a choice?

    Tristan: No.

    Septimus: Well then, let's go.
