Review of STARDUST

STARDUST - STORY: A young man tries to buy love by retrieving a fallen star, but along the way finds his true love and his rightful place in the world.
STARDUST - MESSAGE: Love is given freely with no strings attached. Persistence, doing the right thing and honesty win the day. Power is not for the greedy, the vain, the murderous or the jealous. Slavery and entrapment are a bad thing.
STARDUST - WIN: Spiritual ability was displayed. Good virtues won in the end and bad intentions made for a bad end to the bad guys. It promoted life after death. Emotions of characters were consistent with their actions. Good works were rewarded. Alcohol to excess was a trait of the bad guys. Family was important to the hero and his mother and father. A star watches down on the activities of earth from a remote viewpoint -- an impartial world view not often contemplated in films.
STARDUST - LOSE: A one night stand at the beginning of the movie. The witches used their magic for evil, yet in reality one's power is only effective for good.
STARDUST - EFFECT ON ME: It was fun exercising my imagination with the unseen-before character of a star personified. The satisfying ending of order restored was pleasant. It made me want to be more persistent in getting to my goals despite obstacles and made me want to be more selfless than selfish.
