i rent this film out have heard of the fuss about it not be put up for an academy award and but after watch it and it easy to see why it do not . despite the beautiful photography and the film be incredibly slow moving and despite have hardly any plot . the plot be about a young boy try to come to term with his parent death in what may or may not have be an accident ( the film be never clear on this ) and and how his grandfather use to tell him fairy story . the fairy story contain the only bit of interest in the plot and but theyre very short and and do not really seem to have any point . the first fairy story in particular concern a boy try to get a magical flower to his die girlfriend to save her life and but the boy delay by taste the flower first to make sure it be not poisonous which result in him be a few second too late to save his girlfriend the grandfather then pronounce that the moral be that the boy be too impatient and but that doesn not make any sense because it be overcaution and slowness which result in his failure . perfect metaphor for this film really . the photography of skye be beautiful though and but then stardust which be release this year be another film about fairy story film in skye and beautifully photograph and it infinitely well than this one .
