The Story of my Life

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect,
it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

Stardust

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Though I'm not a Neil Gaiman fan, I was still excited to see Stardust. I've heard good reviews about Neil Gaiman so I assumed the movie would be spectacular as the book itself. Plus, I think I read somewhere that the novel was very well translated to a movie. All that made me thrilled to see the film. Not enough reason no? hehehe

My expectations were totally different from what I've seen. I was looking forward to an LOTR and HP type of adventure film! A serious type. One that would make you cover your face because you're afraid of what might happen, or the type that would make your adrenal gland pumping. Na-ah...not the type. This film will make you laugh until your jaw and tummy hurts. It was hilarious! A feel-good movie. You'd be surprised at what characters the actors played and I must say, they did well! Bravo! Bravo!

A quotable quote from the film...

Yvaine professing her true feelings to Tristan, who's been transformed as a mouse by that wicked witch.

"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 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 anymore. 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."

Eeeeeeeeeee...sweetness!!!!
