Fallen Star

Stardust

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket,
save it for a rainy day. - Song Lyrics

You see a shooting star. 

For.The.First.Time.In.Your.Life.
 
It sends streaks of light across the night sky.

A bit of magic.

Positive vibes and good luck.

You have no more than a few seconds to make a wish before it burns out into a point of inky blackness.

But you’ve got… nothing.

Even you yourself are surprised by what’s going on in your head. You are trying to choose the best thing, the one you need the most. But still… nothing.

So what do you do?

You try to collect the fallen star.

Which is the premise of the entertaining 2007 romantic fantasy adventure film Stardust.

I love it. 

Imagine entering the magical fantasy kingdom of Stormhold and following Tristan in his venture.

Imagine finding out that the star is a woman named Yvaine. 

Imagine Yvaine being Tristan's birthday gift to the woman he wants to marry.

Imagine, in the meantime, witches and the Princes of Stormhold also hunting for Yvaine.

I don't even remember if Tristan successfully gets Yvaine back to Wall. Suffice it to say that I find the idea of a fallen star intriguing.

Perhaps, there is one hiding among the ghostly silhouettes of the trees outside.
Maybe, there's a host of fallen stars everywhere.

Shall we go find and collect some?
