Stardust

Just got back from another movie and I would like to add it to my favorite list because for the umpteenth time this year, I was transported into another mystical world, where the forces of evil will always be vanquished at the end, and where good kicks evil's ass. A beautiful star falls onto this earth into a magic village and she represents immortality since stars never die. A witch and a prince want her immortality. A shy boy wants her to prove his 'love' for another. Ugh this world we live in is too boring and there's nothing magical about it. I long to live in another 'magical' , 'mystical', 'bewitching', 'enchanted', 'spellbound' world.

Got in touch with an old schoolmate today and I was surprised to find out that 3 ex-school mates married foreigners. One went to Italy, fell in love with an Italian and married him and is now living there. Another went to study in Germany, loved a German and married him and is now settled there. And the 3rd will soon get hitched to an American / Pali. How interesting. 

By the by, to me, the best Romeo and Juliet version was Zifferelli's 1968 edition. Don't you agree?

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
