  • Director Matthew Vaughn is known for making gangster movies and comic book adaptations. Producing Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and making his directorial debut with Layer Cake paved the way for bigger projects: Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, the Kingsman franchise, Argylle. But in between the gangsters and the over-the-top heroics, he decided to make a fairy tale. Based on the writing of popular author Neil Gaiman, the film tells of witches, unicorns, flying ships, lightning catchers, and a falling star... that’s actually a person. Released in 2007, the movie we’re talking about is called Stardust. And it’s time for it to be Revisited.

    Stardust is a perfect double-bill with The Princess Bride

    It's the modern day Princess Bride and very very underrated. It's such a great film

      The Princess Bride feels very timeless. It doesn't really feel like an 80's movie, but it also doesn't feel like a modern movie.
      Though I feel I must point out to you, that at this point, we're only a few years away for the time between 'The Princess Bride' and 'Stardust', and 'Stardust' and now to be the same. It's a 2007 movie; it'll be old enough to vote next year.

    Also this film gave me childhood joy. I thought of Willow and Princess Bride while enjoying this one as well.

    This movie was my entire childhood, it was everything that I wanted in a fantasy adventure, and more. In addition to Daredevil, we had future Superman, Henry Cavill, as a potential suitor of Victoria's.

    I saw this advertised on different channels and never felt like it was worth watching. Now, knowing who everyone is and how it's compared to the Princess Bride, I'll watch it when I go to sleep tonight. Thanks, gentlemen, for putting stuff like this out there. You should be getting paid for the promotion 😂😂😂😂

    I discovered Stardust completely by accident. I bought the DVD while on a business trip because I was bored and I thought that a fairie tale for adults would be a fun way to kill some time. I was in a town with nothing to do after work hours and figured a movie would be a great diversion. I was BLOWN AWAY with how well done it was. The casting was perfect, the acting was perfect, and every technical aspect of the movie was perfect. I was drawn into the world of Wall and Stormhold and was on the edge of my seat during all the exciting parts. I never read the book or the illustrated comic, so I wasn't aware of how the story was changed, but I don't think I have missed anything. I watch this movie at least once a month and it never gets old. I recommend it to anyone, and have done so often.

    Jane Goldman has done loads of successful adaptations. Very recognisable with her long dyed red hair. Married to UK TVs Jonathan Ross for a million years. It's a good story, and a good movie version of a well told tale.

    The main problem I have with the film is the pacing. I remember seeing it thinking it drags a lot. Had there been a brisk pace to it, like Kingsman 1, it would have worked better

    I love stardust, this was a nice video, but I had a couple of issues with the way you phrased some things, 1) the witch Lamia (Michelle pfeiffer) isn’t just using magic to change her appearance, she ate the last bit of the previous stars heart, thus de-aging her and giving her a lot more power. Every time she uses her powers, she ages physically which indicates how much power she has left, kinda like a low battery warning. I can see why you might perceive it as her using the magic to make herself look young, but the movie nor the book ever give any indication that anyone would recognise her face, so it’s not meant as a disguise. And you wouldn’t describe a battery as making themselves look full. It could be interpreted as pure vanity, but I thought of it as just a manifestation of being full of power, you would automatically make your body more comfortable and strong.
    2) Victoria doesn’t promise Tristan she’ll do anything he wants if he gets her the star, she says it’s beautiful, he suggests that he would get it to prove he likes her more than her fiancée and she responds with ‘don’t be silly’. She takes advantage of his infatuation but even then she doesn’t push him to get the star, instead trying to let him down. Tristan gets distracted from finding the star anyway by the idea of finding his mother so I don’t think any promise was made at all?
    3) technically there’s no indication that captain Shakespeare is gay, he just claims to be fascinated by stuff from our world, especially women’s clothing, tho the wink at Humphrey at the end could be ur clue, he could technically be bi or pansexual as well. He’s definitely a transvestite/drag queen, his sexuality is less certain.

    A lot of the humor in this movie comes from the cast's comedic timing. (And the director's and editor's, I suppose). The laughs come not so much from what they say as how they say it.

  • @readyplayerart3mis
    @readyplayerart3mis 21 день тому

    Good video, but I thought you mispronounced "Tristan" the entire time. You kept saying "Tris-Tran" and adding an extra R in there. It was really bothering me, and then I realized it's Tristran in the book, and Tristan in the movie. I love both book and movie Stardust (and Neil Gaiman) so much, so it was interesting to find out how it was made and why they did!

  • @ThatSoddingGamer
    @ThatSoddingGamer 22 дні тому +1

    I saw the movie first, and yes I vaguely recall the differences between it and the novel not really appealing. I really liked the movie, but was a bit 'meh' on the book.
    I'm overdue for a re-watch.

    This is the best fantasy movie that nobody knows about. This should have been an eighties film along with The Neverending Story and The Labyrinth.
    I'm really really glad that director did not get to make his sequel though. That sounds bad. Just bad.
    If there is ever a sequel it should be by the original author.

    I hate fairly tale/fantasy type movies. I can never buy into the setting and rules in their respective universes. However, I loved this movie. Its fun and deals with the fantasy of love in a neat way. I'd love to see more in this universe.
