MOVIE: Neverending Story

​

There is talk about a remake of this 1984 Cult Movie, adapted from Michael Ende's book, "Unendliche Geschichte" , so, is it time to re-watch this classic? Even though the special effects are a little dated by 21st-century standards, it remains a gripping and fascinating fantasy tale, featuring relatable characters and heroes and important positive messages.

Story

Bastian (Barret Oliver) is a shy 10-year-old who lives alone with his father after the death of his mother. He’s a loner and gets bullied at school, but he finds solace in books.

One day some bullies are chasing Bastian, and he escapes into a bookshop. He’s intrigued by a book that the owner is reading, which is called The NeverEnding Story. The owner tells Bastian that this is no ordinary book – it’s dangerous and not for him. When the owner turns away to answer the telephone, Bastian steals the book and runs to hide in the attic of his school.

When Bastian opens the mysterious book in the attic, he’s drawn deeply into its story about a magical world called Fantasia, which is threatened with destruction by the all-consuming Nothing. Fantasia’s leader, the Childlike Empress (Tami Stronach), is also suffering from an unknown, fatal illness. Fantasia’s only hope lies in a young warrior, Atreyu (Noah Hathaway), who’s sent to find a cure for the Empress and to stop the Nothing. Atreyu’s quest leads him to all parts of Fantasia, where he meets many new companions and fellow travellers, including the beautiful flying Luck Dragon. Together they face many challenges and dangers, but they can’t find a cure.

In his attic hideaway, Bastian suddenly realises that he’s more than just a passive reader or witness of the story. He might just be the chosen earthling child who alone has the power to save Fantasia and all its wondrous creatures.
