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

  • 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".
