Electricity is wrenching through your veins and suddenly your eyes are closed bruises glowing against the paper thin eyelids and your fluorescent teeth are flashing and your hair is wild, wisping from your head curls of smoke ashen against the murky sky and there is a treacherous feeling rushing up your spine. You're teetering on the edge of Alice's Rabbit Hole and magpies are meandering over your head, watching you with cool, cool eyes following you down into the cool cool tunnel. You gulp roses so thorns will stutter underneath your rib cage and erupt into thick, red, blooming welts across your chest. The stardust coats your tongue, your words dripping with galaxies of imagination. The stardust coats your hands, the shattered planets…

In the beginning of Stardust, we become acquainted with our hero. Tristan Thorn, being the hero in question, does something wonderful over the plot of the movie Stardust. What he accomplishes seems odd considering the fact that he can still be considered a boy. Tristan fell in love with a wretched, greedy girl who only cared about herself. Tristan possessed almost nil life skills that might be a boon to his very existence. When a man named Humphry challenged him to fence it resulted in Tristan…

Salem’s Birthday “Her name is Salem,” Yvaine indicated rocking the new citizen of Stormhold.

The film, Stardust, prove to have a great connection associated with Pierre Bourdieu’s practice theory, the concept of Habitus.

An example of the element of habitus is embodied with Tristian Thorn, the protagonist, through his inability to interact/connect with the female counterpart due to his upbringing of not…

So supposedly because of the stars, I fit into our cosmic bubble because the stars are associated with the cosmic bubble. Stars were created when clumps of hydrogen formed together to create helium while releasing light. This fusion continued on until stars created enough iron and an enormous amount of energy explodes that is called a supernova.This fusion would not have been completed without the stars heating up to 13 miliion degrees. Stardust was then spread out with the elements and the…

Stardust “is the story of how Tristan Thorne becomes a man, a much greater challenge altogether.” Initially, Tristan is nothing more than an unsure, often out of place stargazer. Overwhelmed by fear, he stutters at the presence of an admittedly shallow individual, Victoria. Furthermore, Tristan struggled to muster the courage to tell his father he had been terminated from his job as a result of Victoria. The once fragile boy, however, began his demeanor change when he ascended over the Wall into…
