He goes through a break in the wall. Tristan ventures out of a rather twee English village called Wall. Freud might express such things in symbols. Or (put simply) just find our way to true love and happiness.
To complicate matters, three evil witches want to get hold of Yvaine. He discovers the fallen star has taken the form of a beautiful girl, Yvaine (Claire Danes). Stormhold is the world outside the wall. So he pledges to bring back a falling star. Victoria doesn't take him very seriously.
Ricky Gervais is an added extras. Heirs of Stormhold meanwhile are engaged in a pitched battle over inheriting the Kingdom. He has a fierce, swashbuckling pirate exterior but is a sweetie closet queen underneath. (One of the witches is played by Michelle Pfeiffer, who does fabulous young-old transformations of looks and manner.) The 'good guy' they meet on their way is Captain Shakespeare (Robert de Niro).
Stardust is a full-on, large scale fantasy that does credit to its myriad stars. Till he achieves the maturity to discern pedestal divas from real women. Tristan's purity of spirit arouses the love of Yvaine, so there is a nice little triangle going.
From Dust You Came Stardust Free Of The
They made records with names like "In Search of the Lost Chord," and wrote lyrics like, "Thinking is the best way to travel." I would fill my head with books on magic and mystery, from Timothy Leary to Aleister Crowley. As a boy, I remember listening in wonder to albums by the Moody Blues (who practiced in a house not far from where I lived). But if you want an excuse to let your heart fly, this film may well provide it. Plot and dialogue have many predictable elements, and the fairytale quality may be too saccharine for some audiences. That is not to say that Stardust is without its faults. Production values rival Hollywood, and the storyline is free of the racial stereotyping, misogyny, religious or class agendas than shape and pervert so many large scale fantasies.
