...there was an unicorn?
I finished reading The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle last night. I watched the movie like two years ago and my memories are foggy now, but I do recall it was shiny and interesting. The book, actually, doesn't seem too different from what I remember, so that means the adaptation must've been that good. That's a new one. Well, no, an old one, but you get my point.
Of course, and it comes without surprise, I liked the book better because I have the feeling the movie probably couldn't play that much with the fairy tales meta and fourth wall-breaking, which is one of my favorite things about the noveland made me fangirl book!Schmendrick so much, but then again I could be wrong.
Actually, was Schmendrick's backstory and curse even in the movie? I can't recall, but my guts tell me he might've got the Eriol treatment (...literally).
I think I'm rewatching my illegally downloaded copy of the movie when I'm back home. And I'll buy the book if I ever find it somewhere.
The whole point for this post is: read the book :D It's pretty and sad and smart.
No, actually I'm lying, the other point is: Schmendrick/Molly OTP! ♥

kirarakim uploaded the main theme of the movie :D
ETA 2: I knew I shouldn't look for TLU stuff at Youtube. Not surprised to see so many Evanescence and Within Temptation and Linkin Park AMVs.
