I LOVE Stardust, beyond all reason. And this was an example of what made me love it. The fact that his men knew and DID NOT CARE, and showed genuine concern and affection for him just made the pirates better characters to me. And DENIRO…. The GUSTO… This is so overlooked, I swear. It’s the mid-2000’s equivalent to The Princess Bride, with the wit, great acting/writing, swashbuckling, romance, comedy, and turning fantasy tropes on their head while honouring them at the same time. Yes, I was there opening weekend, and this was/is on my list of favourite fantasy films of all time.
True facts.
the whole movie is a delight, but MAN did i love Captain Shakespeare and his crew
this is one of 0397590287512350982354 reasons Stardust is my #1 favorite movie that i can watch on repeat for eternity
