stardust October 29, 2007

and i thought i’ll never fall in love with movies anymore since “the cutting edge”, but here i am again finding myself reminiscing the words that were uttered by claire danes in the movie “stardust”. my husband and i watched it yesterday at SM movie theater. this movie left us both with a smile and enchantment.

“stardust” is a movie about a young shopboy named who wishes to prove his love to a girl named victoria by crossing the other side of an old English wall, and head towards the Kingdom of Stormhold, where there are supernatural inhabitants such as magic, witches and spells. Tristan was driven to get the falling star, Yvainne which was played by Claire Danes, and together they journeyed back to the Village of Wall to bring the star back to Victoria in exchange for her hand in marriage. It is in this journey that the two fall in love as they endure the wickedness of the witch, played by Michelle Pfeiffer and the prince of stormhold who is after the stone that the Yvainne possesses to gain the kingship over Stormhold.

one thing that struck me in this movie was when Yvainne confessed her love to Tristan… Love is something unbearable, unpredictable, uncontrollable, unexplainable… a feeling that she couldn’t contain because her heart seems does not belong to her anymore but it belongs to Tristan. She also said that love is unconditional. One should not try so hard to prove it or to make a chain of devotions. What matters is the heart… giving your heart to that person and that person giving his heart to you… aww… now i’m kinda poor in memorizing lines so i suggest you watch it and experience the magic of those words as it strikes your heart as you hold your loved one’s hand…

oh and you’ll appreciate the humor that goes with it too… plus some funny tad as well…

so grab some popcorn and experience an enchanting moment in a love story of Tristan and his star Yvainne.
