comment
Stardust is a 2007 film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's book of the same name, directed by Matthew Vaughn. While certain liberties were taken, it remains a relatively faithful adaptation.When a star falls from the sky, Tristan Thorn (Charlie Cox) sets out to find a fallen star for Victoria (Sienna Miller), the girl he's in love with... only to find that the "star" is a humanoid woman named Yvaine (Claire Danes), and that three evil witches, led by the scheming Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), want to capture her. Yvaine is also being chased by heirs to the throne of the magical kingdom of Stormhold who seek Yvaine's ruby necklace, Prince Septimus (Mark Strong) foremost among them.

Jacob Marley Apparel: The princely ghosts, who have the clothes (or lack thereof, for Primus who died in the bath) and injuries (burns, smashing, axe in head) they had at death. Primus can be seen appropriating the tails of his brothers' coats or cloaks to cover himself in some scenes.

I Was Quite a Looker: The witch sisters all intend to restore their youth and beauty. In the film we only see what Lamia's youthful self looks like, but there's a small Missing Trailer Scene that briefly shows them all posing in front of the mirror in all their youth and beauty.invoked

All Men Are Perverts: Bernard is ecstatic when he gets to help Yvaine undress for her bath. However, it's subverted when Tristan and Yvaine admit their love and presumably sleep together; one of the ghost princes tells the others to come and watch, but they're not interested.

Title Drop
 Stardust / int_18d15922
comment
Title Drop: Tristan brings Victoria a lock of Yvaine's hair, but it has turned into nothing more than metal shavings after crossing the wall, because in the human world a fallen star is just a meteor, not a magical woman. Victoria then complains that he only brought her stardust. From the bookThere was no title drop at any point in the book, and although it was established in the book that crossing the wall would make Yvaine turn into a dead meteor, there was no demonstration of it.

Villains Never Lie
 Stardust / int_1b06aa41
comment
Villains Never Lie: Witches lie all the time, but if they actually give their word, they seem to generally keep it. Lamia promises not to harm Ditchwater Sal during their first meeting, and lets Sal live despite her rage at Sal slipping her a lambas grass mickey (though all bets are off the second time they meet). Sal herself does keep her end of her bargain with Tristan, and delivers him to the Wall unharmed (though the manner in which she does so is kind of dickish).

Poor Communication Kills
 Stardust / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: The movie's final act is set up by a miscommunication between Tristan and Yvaine. Having realized their feelings for each other, Tristan goes to bid adieu to Victoria, and leaves a message to the innkeeper to pass on to Yvaine. The innkeeper tells Yvaine that Tristan is off to go to Victoria and spend the rest of his life with his true love, which Yvaine interprets as his true love actually being Victoria. On the other hand, if Yvaine had just accompanied Tristan as originally intended, they might not have realised what would happen to Yvaine if she crossed into the human world before she actually set foot across the barrier...

Hidden Heart of Gold: Captain Shakespeare puts on a gruff facade, but has carefully arranged matters so that he doesn't need to engage in much actual violence. When he meets Tristan and Yvaine, he's delighted to be able to confide in them, since they aren't from Stormhold and don't know or care about his fearsome reputation. He's also a not-so-secret Camp Gay and Crossdresser.

Adaptational Villainy
 Stardust / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Septimus and Lamia were both villains in the book, but are more so in the movie: Septimus kills more people and is more ruthless, with the ending implying that while all the other brothers, despite their sins, are going to Heaven, he's going to Hell, while Lamia is considerably more sadistic. In the book, the eldest Lilim gives up on capturing Yvaine once she's expended enough of her youth and magic that it's no longer feasible, and returns home to face her sisters' punishment. In the film, Lamia never stops trying.

Succession Crisis

Succession Crisis: It's apparently a tradition of Stormhold's royal family for the last male heir standing to be crowned King regardless of birth order — resulting in candidates killing each other off to improve their chances. The king's seven sons partook in this, but not fully, as three are left when their father changes the rules and immediately dies.

Even Evil Has Standards: Una disappeared for years and was presumed dead, and Septimus is known to have killed several of his older brothers, but he is still deeply offended that everyone assumes he must have killed Una as well. As he points out, he would have no reason to kill her, given that Stormhold is an Heir Club for Men — as a daughter. she wasn't a competitor in the line of succession anyway.

First he gets kidnapped by Lamia, who turns him into a goat to drive her cart, then he gets put into a girl's body, is almost trapped in a burning inn, then kidnapped and kicked around by Septimus, before finally making an appearance at the end sequence looking surprisingly happy for all he's been through — probably because everybody who did those things to him has died horribly, and the people who were nice to him just became King and Queen. Also, according to the DVD commentary, he was found by Captain Shakespeare and joined his crew.

Combat Pragmatist: The Lightning Pirate crew. When facing Septimus's men, they bow, and when their opponents do the same out of courtesy, they take the chance to get the first strike while they're off their guard.

Adaptational Alternate Ending
 Stardust / int_4a5fcde
comment
Adaptational Alternate Ending: The book ends with Tristran dying of old age and Yvaine mourning him for eternity while remaining the immortal ruler of Stormhold. The film has them ruling for about eighty years, then leaving the realm to their children and lighting a Babylon candle to ascend to the sky and live together as stars. Neil Gaiman actually suggested this ending, feeling it fit the film better.

Animorphism
 Stardust / int_4aa3c552
comment
Animorphism: Lamia stops by a goatherd's hut and offers to buy his goat. When Bernard points out that one goat isn't strong enough to pull her cart, she quips, "Hmm. You're quite right," turns Bernard into another goat, and takes them both. The hapless goatherd gets dragged along by the villains for most of the rest of the film. It does turn out well for him in the end, though, as he's seen sitting next to Captain Shakespeare and cheering when Tristan is crowned. Ditchwater Sal similarly turns Tristan into a mouse for the journey to Wall Market, keeping her Exact Words by changing him back when they arrive.

I Work Alone
 Stardust / int_5571b706
comment
I Work Alone: Primus, once the race for the ruby is afoot. Both have their strengths and weaknesses as a result. Septimus travels on horseback with an entourage of no more than a dozen men, but Primus drives his own horse-drawn carriage. Septimus must rely on a soothsayer to interpret divination runestones for him, but Primus knows how to consult them on his own. Primus' approach pays off, as Septimus is delayed for the entire first day of the race because the soothsayer is Primus' man and misinterpreting the runes on purpose. Primus initially asserts this when Tristan crosses paths with him and begs to travel with him ("absolutely out of the question"), but relents after Tristan makes an appeal to his faith. Funnily enough, this does not contribute to his death — Lamia would have killed him at the inn either way to eliminate a witness.

Enemy Mine: Sort of. At the end of the film, we have a hero/villain team-up (between Tristan and Septimus) to take down a more dangerous villain (Lamia), but the two characters weren't enemies beforehand — in fact, they'd never met (though Septimus did beat up Tristan's mentor, Captain Shakespeare). Septimus lampshades it nonetheless, pointing out that while neither of them can trust the other, neither do they have much choice but to work together.

Pragmatic Adaptation: Presumably, the book's Tristran was changed to the movie's Tristan because the latter is simply easier to say. In addition, the movie is a bit Lighter and Softer than the book, reducing most of the sex to innuendos and trimming down the violence. Neil Gaiman called the movie and book two different interpretations of the same story.

Meaningful Name: The children of the Lord of Stormhold, Primus, Secundus, and so on. Their only sister Una counts as well, "Una" meaning "single" or "one." The witches are named after demons from Greek mythology that are said in some myths to be daughters of Hecate, the goddess of witches. Kinda exploited by Shakespeare, whose crew, not knowing anything of England, interpret the name as "shake spear".

Adaptation Personality Change: Victoria. In the book, she's Spoiled Sweet, and issues her Engagement Challenge without realizing how serious Tristran is being; she's genuinely remorseful when he takes her at her word and goes off on a quest that will likely get him killed. When he returns, they have a proper conversation about where they stand with each other, and part as friends. In fact, Victoria's marriage to Mister Monday is one of the two conditions of Una's Curse Escape Clause. In the film, she's a Spoiled Brat whose only sweetness is that she's nice to Tristan out of pity, and stops being nice the minute she actually expects something of him. Otherwise, she only thinks of herself. She's no better when he returns from his quest, and their conversation quickly becomes him telling her exactly what he thinks of her.

Named by the Adaptation: The witches were collectively known as the Lilim in the book, with the eldest of them (Lamia's counterpart) going by the alias Morwanneg at one point, meaning "wave of the sea", but it was explicitly not her real name. Her true name had been buried beneath the sea with the kingdom the Lilim once ruled, making the alias an in-joke. In the film, their roles are expanded to become Lamia, Mormo and Empusa, all of which are names of vampiric creatures from Greek mythology.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul
 Stardust / int_72ce3f54
comment
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the book, Tristran's parents came together briefly in a relationship that was good for both but wouldn't have developed into anything long-term even if his mother hadn't been in constrained circumstances; his father moves on and ends up in a more settled relationship, and when Tristran finds his mother, she's pleased to meet him but not interested in renewing her acquaintance with his father. The movie streamlines things by giving them a more conventional relationship arc; in the movie, Tristan's father never marries, and he's seen sitting with Tristan's mother in the big crowd scene at the end, suggesting that they're going to get together now that she's free to make her own life choices.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The unicorn that comes to help Yvaine is last seen being trapped in Lamia's fire in the inn before Tristan and Yvaine escape. There's no sign of a body when Septimus's men find the area, so it either burned to death or escaped when Lamia ended the spell. In the book, Lamia slew it directly during the confrontation. Likewise, Bernard is last seen crashing to the ground as Septimus steals his horse and rides off. Given the week he's been having, he's probably just as glad to be well out of things.

Showing Off the New Body: The first thing Lamia does when she regains her youthful body is take off her clothes in front of a mirror to get a better look, and she is very happy with what she sees. Her sisters look on in envious admiration.

Abduction Is Love
 Stardust / int_94c57c5c
comment
Abduction Is Love: Tristan starts out trying to force Yvaine to come back to England with him to show her to Victoria, and then the two subsequently fall in love. Of course, by that point, Yvaine isn't Tristan's captive, and she's going with him as a favour to a friend (and part of their agreement is Tristan using the Babylon Candle to let Yvaine go home as soon as Victoria meets her). Yvaine gives us this gem when Tristan first tries to convince her to come with him:

Betty and Veronica

comment
Betty and Veronica: Played with. Victoria seems like she's the Veronica, since she's something of a Rich Bitch and rather materialistic, in contrast to Yvaine's more down to earth and insightful Betty. But Victoria is a small-town human who's rather passive, while Yvaine is more active with a sassy side, and as a supernatural creature, is far more exciting.

Take a Third Option
 Stardust / int_950bbfa7
comment
Take a Third Option: An accidental example. Tristan lights the Babylon Candle and tells Yvaine to "think of home". She ends up thinking of her home, which is the sky, and Tristan thinks of his home in Wall. The result is that they end up in the clouds, halfway between the two. During a thunderstorm. Fortunately, the lightning pirates show up moments later.

Falling Chandelier of Doom: Subverted twice, then played straight — when Lamia is controlling Septimus's dead body via Voodoo Doll and making it fight Tristan, he tries to take it out by dropping a chandelier on it, but severs the wrong rope twice before he finds the right one. When he does, he also uses the rope to lift himself up to Lamia's balcony before she can cut out Yvaine's heart.

Took a Level in Badass: Tristan goes from "a boy who works in a shop" to a confident, sword-wielding adventurer, and later King of Stormhold. Captain Shakespeare's Training Montage provides a lot of the growth. The fact that he's a Prince of Stormhold and a Half-Human Hybrid who seems to be finally finding his feet is hinted to help.

Foreshadowing: The mistake that leads to Yvaine and Tristan meeting the lightning pirates foreshadows that two people can use the candle to travel into the heavens with the rest of the stars, as the two of them do in the end. Before embarking on her quest for the star, Lamia checks her cupboards and notes that she and her sisters are out of Babylon candles that would make her journey easier; later, Tristan acquires one.

Blue Blood: When Lamia cuts Primus's throat in the bath, he bleeds blue. In-universe it's unclear if it's just because he's royalty, or if all inhabitants of Stormhold have such blood, since nobody else in the movie is seen bleeding; out of universe Word of God states that the decision for the color was made to avoid the "R" rating that red blood would have caused, with the added benefit of being a visual gag for the character.invoked

Heir Club for Men: The fact that only males can inherit the throne of Stormhold means that Princess Una isn't a target of her brothers, who are busy killing each other off because the law also demands that there be only one male contender. It also helps they have no idea where she is. This is also the reason that the throne passes directly to Tristan once his relation to her is revealed; the heir may have to be male but they *can* be a distaff descendant of the royal family.

Inn of No Return: Lamia builds an inn out of magic for the express purpose of luring Yvaine there so she can cut out her heart. Although she fails to kill her intended victim, she does kill and rob the only other patron who happens to show up at her inn that night, Primus. By the next morning, when Lamia's attempt on Yvaine and Tristan fails, she is forced to dismantle the inn and move on. She leaves behind Primus's body in the bathtub, the only evidence of the inn's existence.

Primus initially asserts this when Tristan crosses paths with him and begs to travel with him ("absolutely out of the question"), but relents after Tristan makes an appeal to his faith.

Digital Bikini: The scene where Tristan cuts a lock off Yvaine's hair while she sleeps was originally shot with him shirtless, implying that they'd made love during the night.

It Can Think
 Stardust / int_c95d04f2
comment
It Can Think: The unicorn Yvaine befriends never speaks a word, but it demonstrates critical thinking and nonverbal communication skills on par with humans. Such examples include freeing Yvaine from her Super Normal Bindings with its horn, lying down so Yvaine can better mount it after seeing Yvaine's limp, and last but absolutely not least, charges into Tristan's hand, knocking over his cup, and then points to the spill as it smokes on the ground, showing that Lamia poisoned his drink.

Hot Witch: When Lamia consumes what's left of the last star, she is restored to her youth and beauty — even disrobing briefly to check herself out. Sadly for her, overusing her magic causes her to eventually wither back to her elderly form.

Letting Her Hair Down: Inverted. Yvaine's hair is down at first, but she and Tristan don't properly begin to fall in love until she starts wearing it up. In fact, when she mistakenly thinks Tristan has left her, her hair is down again.

Lighter and Softer: The book is a bit darker and more adult, with explicit sex and violence. The movie is a bit more tongue-in-cheek, emphasising some of the comedy and relying more on innuendo. The film also has a straight-up happy ending, as opposed to the book's Bittersweet Ending.

Now What?: One of the seven brothers says this once Septimus, the last of them, dies. They were supposed to acquire a ruby from their father, which would make the winner the new king and release the ghosts, but with all seven dead… Thankfully, Tristan, being Una's son, turns out to be eligible, and they're able to pass on.

Adaptation Name Change
 Stardust / int_dc057cf3
comment
Adaptation Name Change: Tristan Thorn was Tristran Thorn in the book. The director has said that this was initially a typo that they decided to run with. Captain Shakespeare of the Caspertine; in the book, the ship Tristran and Yvaine travel on is the Perdita, and its captain is named Alberic. They were renamed to acknowledge that the captain in the film is effectively a new character, with a different personality and backstory and a larger role in the plot. In the book, Ditchwater Sal was the original name of the witch who's keeping Una captive, but she now goes by Madam Semele. In the movie, she's simply Ditchwater Sal. In the book, the world across the wall was called Faerie rather than Stormhold; Stormhold was one of many kingdoms within it.

Decoy Protagonist
 Stardust / int_df410b77
comment
Decoy Protagonist: Inverted with a Decoy Villain. Septimus seems like he should become a major problem for the heroes. Not only is he actually Tristan's uncle, but the only time he actually meets the two main characters is in the film's climax, just in time to help fight the Big Bads and get killed. Before him, there's Secundus — he gets a great entrance, only to be pushed out a window to his death a minute later. Played straight with Tristan's father at the beginning, although he is important. To get the real protagonist, he and Una go into Sal's wagon and have fun...

Shouldersup Nudity: When Lamia strips naked to admire her newly rejuvenated body, she's only shown from the shoulders up. Primus as well when he's in the bath. Everything below his shoulders and upper chest is hidden either by the water or the tub. Yvaine as well in the inn right before she and Tristan kiss. She's just had a bath, and is only shown from the shoulders up.

Protective Charm: The glass flower that Dunstan purchases from the witch's stall with a kiss is left in Tristan's baby basket along with him. It provides total protection from a witch's harmful magic, preventing Ditchwater Sal from applying her Forced Transformation until he trades it back to her, and forcing Lamia to attack him with thrown objects and Septimus's animated dead body instead.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 Stardust / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Captain Shakespeare's Lightning Pirates don't actually pirate per se, but make a solid living poaching lightning from thunderstorms, so they may be merely "The Pirates Who Do Something Else." The career paths of Shakespeare and crew still offer plenty of opportunities to evade the law (Lightning-Marshalls at that), to amass fortunes on the black market, and for combat badassery in the wild blue yonder, so their pirate resumes are still quite aglow. It's also a point that this is by design: Shakespeare has a very fearsome reputation but in reality he hates fighting and bloodshed. His crew just pretends he's a terrifying rogue, since they love the guy and don't want to let him down.

Hero-Tracking Failure: During the final Boss Battle, Lamia hurls spells and makes rows of windows dramatically explode one after the other, but seems persistently unable to hit Tristan or Yvaine as they run away in a straight line, staying just in front of the explosions. They don't even get a scratch from the flying shards. This is probably intentional: given that she needs to cut out Yvaine's heart and eat it, she's likely just terrorizing them For the Evulz and herding them back towards her.

Cast from Lifespan: Lamia. Well, more "Cast from Youth," as each spell she uses drains a little bit of the good looks she gets from eating the last of the previous star's heart. This leads to a funny scene where she repeatedly tries to use magic to undo signs of age in one spot on her body, only for it to cause signs of age to appear on another spot.
