It feels so good to watch a great movie. I have not done any movie review for ages. Actually, it is quite a while since I watched a movie.
Into the world of love and magic. The book is only a short novel, the movie ain't no epic either. But it certainly did the book justice! You can almost feel love flowing in you when Claire Danes glows. God! She IS still so beautiful!!! Remember R&J?
It's pretty cool to see Robert De Niro getting in touch with his feminine self! And get a glimpse of how Michelle Pfeiffer will look like if she lives a few hundred years old.
It is a wonderful story by Gaiman, who is so good at crafting the stories where pieces fall nicely together and the ending delights you. Stardust was the second Neil Gaiman book I read. With the perfect plot of many little messages which Gaiman wanted to put across, throw in the special effects and fantastic soundtrack, my imaginations came alive! Add it to the list of classic fantasy movie. But somehow, I feel that above everything else, its the perfect romance movie.
"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."
That's love, in the words of Neil Gaiman, from the mouth of Claire Danes, it is so beautiful. 4.5 outta 5 stars! Must watch! One question tho', was that the real Hadrian's Wall in the show?
