Storyline

The passage from this world to the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold is through a breach in a wall beside an English village. In the 1800s, a boy becomes a man when he ventures through the breach in pursuit of a fallen star, to prove his love for the village beauty. The star is no lump of rock, it's a maiden, Yvaine. Tristan, the youth, is not the only one looking for her: three witches, led by Lamia, want her heart to make them young; and, the sons of the dead king of Stormhold want her because she holds a ruby that will give one of them title to the throne. Assisting Tristan are his mother, the victim of a spell, and a cross-dressing pirate of the skies. Will Tristan win his true love? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Did You Know?

Trivia

The lead character's name was shortened from the book's Tristran, with an "r" between the "t" and "a," to Tristan, because Tristran was hard to pronounce quickly. However, there is one time it is said as "TristRan" instead of "Tristan." This is during the scene when Tristan remarks that Yvaine sometimes glows, when he suggests jokingly that the thing Stars do best is annoy boys called "TristRan Thorn." See more »

Goofs

When Victoria goes to the shop where Tristan works, as she is walking in her hair bow is to the left. In the next shot her bow is centered. Then it goes back to being on the left side again. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really... "Do the stars gaze back?" Now *that's* a question.

User Reviews

 
Great Fantasy Entertainment
10 August 2007 | by (utah) – See all my reviews

Except for an awkward scene, this refreshing fairy tale fantasy has a fun and delightful undercurrent of adult cynical wit that charms its way into the audience as well as a soundtrack that powerfully moves this fairy epic along. Except for one of the Robert DeNiro scenes that doesn't come across smooth and appears out of sync with the tone of the rest of the movie, this luscious romantic fairy tail has a great storytelling feel and the strong magic and the fine balance between serious adventure scenes and the lighter spiritual humor is well done. In the updated tradition of THE PRINCESS BRIDE this contemporary presentation of magic and love is captivating. Eight out of Ten Stars.
