The stars turn to dust

I like this handsome name, Tristan, and I don't like the translation of Tristan, it's silly to say one syllable apart and loses its charm. More importantly, I also thought of another Tristan, the poor kid in the heart of the king.
The film itself has nothing to say. De Niro's captain and Michelle Pfeiffer's witch are the highlights. Michelle Pfeiffer's self-destructive performance really sacrificed a lot. Fortunately, the director tried her best to keep her in the search process. Her youthful appearance kept her image in my heart.
The stars in the film say that love is unconditional. I used to believe that apart from religion being the biggest obstacle, as long as there is true love, two people can be together after all. In fact, it is not. The rich experience can only make people more numb. There is no way to live a life without impulse, although a long life can be maintained without impulse.
What will the stars do? Glow!
Watch the movie for what, relax!
This is enough.

    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~~

    I was waiting to see the A list before it was released, but it was delayed for so many years. The typical Gaiman story, unabashedly cruel and more childlike, is a bit like an upgraded mirror mask. The theme is good over the wall, the stick over the wall, the eternal life over the wall, becoming the king, winning Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of the universe. (I really want that steampunk pirate ship that catches lightning! And the gay captain who can play the piano, dance and put on makeup!

Stardust quotes

  • [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.

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: They ruled for 80 years. But no man can live forever, except he who possesses the heart of a star, and Yvaine had given hers to Tristan completely. When their children and grandchildren were grown, it was time to light the Babylon Candle.

    [there is a flash of light from inside the royal quarters, the camera then pans up to the sky where two brighter stars have appeared]

    Narrator: And they still live happily ever after.
