If you look at the princes' outfits, they have their number on it. Septimus has 7 on his buttons, Secondous has a roman numeral 2 embrodiered on his coat for examples.
IKR? I've always equated the two. PB is a bit on the goofier, lighthearted side, whereas SD is a bit darker and more serious, but both phenomenal films.
Some tremendous performances in that, but the lack of budget makes it a challenging watch. Well worth it, though, especially if you've been to London, or have a map handy
My two favorite bits from the movie: - The way Captain Shakespeare's second in command rolls his eyes every time the Captain acts all piraty, - Mark Williams as Billy. Arthur Weasley, Father Brown, and a billygoat. Talk about range!
Loved the reaction and loooove this movie, it's soo nostalgic to me. Also fun fact, since you mentioned Ella Enchanted, Claire Danes is actually married to the guy who plays the prince in Ella irl! :)
Woohoo! I'll watch this when I get home, have it on blu ray and have the score on cd, when they dance and she shines bright it messes me up! Beautiful feel good romance
Unfortunately this is VERY different from the book. The book is much less sweet and has a very sad ending compared to this movie. The movie does Victoria dirty. She's much nicer in the book. And she and the other villagers think Tristan died. She ends up marrying Mr Monday (the shop owner) as he's younger in the book. Tristan does die at an old age, because in the book you have to eat the heart. And obviously he doesn't do that. And Yvaine spends the rest of her lonely, eternal life wandering the lands and mourning not being able to rejoin her sisters in the skies. Edit: there are also no sky pirates. Much less a gay one. That whole arc was done for the movie.
Written and directed with Sandman cover artistDave McKean. Very low budget fantasy, produced by the Henson company (but sadly, no muppets.) It's fun. But the story of it being written (complete with Terry Gilliam coming over for lunch) is equally good.
One of that rare niche of adaptations that manages to both stand completely separately from the book, while still being every bit as good. Movie romances are pretty hit-or-miss for me, but - like everything else in this film - the romance in this one is just irresistibly charming. Then again, Neil Gaiman can also be pretty hit-or-miss for me, but the book is fantastic, so I guess Stardust is just out here batting 100. (And speaking of Ilan Eshkeri, who evidently does a top-tier sweepingly romantic soundtrack: if you enjoyed the score for this, check out the score for Young Victoria!)
I loved your reactions to this, I've listened to the audio commentary from the director, he gives his own view on royalty through the blue blood! Scotland's national animal the unicorn helping out! This movie has a special place in my heart! I love the take that song too, thanks for doing the video and I love your singing, makes me smile with happiness, be safe ladies :)
Did you just quote The Decoy Bride?!?! I LOVE that movie and nobody else has heard of it! Such a charming movie, It would be fun for you gals to watch it together for the channel, even if you have seen it before
I see the story as inspired by 3... French authors: Charles Perrault for fantasy, Alexander Dumas for swashbuckling and the royal intrigues, and Jules Verne for same combined with the flying pirates bit.
My favorite anecdote about Stardust is from part of an interview Claire Danes gave where she was talking about teasing the director. He had asked how she was thinking of portraying a star, and she said, "‘maybe occasionally I might introduce a couple of jazz hands or something pretty subtle, and you know, occasionally emphasise certain lines here and there.." 😂😂
I just came here after watching your Neverending Story video (hope you read the actual book!). Stardust deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest fantasy films of all time ❤
My crush on Ben Barnes started from Prince Caspian, but my crush on Charlie Cox started here. Ended up making my bf watch this movie who loved the Netflix marvel shows and he actually enjoyed this movie. It was a good mix of silly, funny and romantic. (oh and almost forgot Henry Cavill as well, lol.)
The moral of the story is: if you knock an injured woman down, chain her up, and kidnap her as a gift for another woman, she just might fall in love with you 😂
"I thought this was a children's movie..." Filled with slavery, naked witches, fratricide, and a reanimated drowned corpse fight... 😅 Stardust is fun, but Matt Vaughn is still getting his feet as a director.
I read Sandman as a teen which is the only comic series I've followed, and when I heard about this being a Gaiman story I was all in. I eventually read the book and was not really that impressed but this is great. Which led me to keep an eye on Charlie Cox which paid off big time in Daredevil. Also Claire Danes is always so adorable! Great reaction, Alex you glow as brightly as any star!
I adore this movie and story so much. I’m not interested in seeing someone who’s seen it before though. I would rather an actual blind reaction than a person who’s seen telling a person who hasn’t seen stuff without realising they are spoiling
