Well, the movie covers only half of the book. The first half is about the importance of fantasy. The second half is about the importance of finding your way back if you delved into a fantasy world. It is also exploring story-telling on a meta-textual level. The book is actually studied on university level over here. The movie, while quite good, doesn't even come close to it. And the ending is one of the reasons why it doesn't. The thing is that in the book NOTHING which was lost in the first half comes back. Bastian creates a new fantasia, but Atrax aso stay dead.

That wasn't the "Never-ending Story", though. The Never-ending story was the story that the Old Man of Wandering Mountain was forced to write by the Childlike Empress. The movie kind of skipped several chapters, there. The title of the movie makes no sense, really, when you leave out those chapters. The (movie) story _isn't_ never-ending. It ends and starts over over and over, yes, but that's not "never-ending". The story that the Old Man was writing, however, WAS never-ending (with only one possibility of escaping the eternal loop).

The catharsis of the book (not really shown in this movie) is that they learn to communicate their feelings for one another that they've been holding in. Has nothing to do with parenting in the 80s at all, except maybe that people were less aware of how important it is to talk to their children.

I cried during this because I connect with it so much. I've always loved this movie. I was bullied from elementary school until the end of high school and dealt with abuse at home. To go to school to be bullied and to go home and be abused is why I have such bad PTSD and probably why I developed rheumatoid arthritis (people with trauma have an increased risk for autoimmunity). My escape was and still is books and art. Art is my creative outlet and when I don't create I my depression gets worse. I think many of us with trauma have an internal world where dreams come true. I used to daydream all the time (and still do sometimes) about my ideal life without pain. My trauma has turned me into an advocate for those who are stepped on, and I'm grateful for being able to stand up and fight for what's right when no one does, but I also now have the price of severe mental health issues and autoimmunity complications that bring me down daily.

That's what I was going to say, too. She recapped the films and talked about some of the themes but didn't actually go into what any of it actually meant. The NeverEnding Story is about the destruction of our imaginations. The Nothing represents "the Real World", or the loss of childhood imagination. And, I actually love NEII. It's still heartfelt and pretty good acting. The actors are trying and while it has no where near the budget of NE, it's trying to end the whole of the book. A lot of the events taking place in NE2 actually happen in the book. Bastion goes into the world of Fantasia and begans making wishes. Every wish he makes, he forgets who he is in the Human world. This has happened to almost every child who comes to Fantasia before him. I think this is supposed to highlight the dangers of getting too deeply into a fantasy realm that you forget yourself. Ziaeda exists in the book. There is this extremely sad part when they go to this place called the Forgotten City and they find all these past children who've forgotten who they are and lost the ability to go home forever. They all took the same route Bastion had been taking. It shows him how dangerous forgetting your true self can be: absolute power corrupting absoluty, and how Atreyu had been trying to warn him all along the dangers of making wishes with Auryn. It's a beautifully written book and writing this makes me both sad and wanting to read it again. NE3 is garbage, and doesn't exist. The only good thing about that piece of filth is Jack Black. That's it. Don't watch it, seriously, it will make you want to kill things.

Michael Ende's novel (on whose first half the film is based) is heavily influenced by Aleister Crowley's Thelema. The most obvious references are the Auryn's inscription ("Do what thou wilt") and the name Bastian gives to the Childlike Empress ("Moonchild"), but it doesn't stop there. As for the hero's journey, the real fun begins in the (nearly unfilmable) second half of the novel, where Bastian misinterprets the Auryn's inscription and loses his whole identity to the hero-persona he crafts for himself by wishing for all sorts of strengths and powers.

He didn’t name her Moon Child after his mom , that was just Hollywood making it seems so, the book never really mentions his mom at all. It would be interesting to know why. The book portrays the childlike empress not so innocently or childlike, she never sat back and cried and pleaded with Bastian. She is like a Goddess in child form ancient and innocent, good and evil. She has agency and took it upon herself to climb up a giant icy mountain top in a thin night gown barefoot ! She visited the old man that was writing the book in real time and it was one place she was forbidden to go , because it essentially trapped Bastian and everything and everyone in a Neverending loop . This forced Bastian to give her a new name else he would have been trapped in the book forever, he actually didn’t have a choice. To make it worse this wasn't the last time the Childlike Empress trapped Bastian, after giving him her Auryn, Bastain had to go on an even more perilous journey and almost lost his mind in the process. Let’s just all agree NES 3 never happened, though that empress is a wonderful actress. Also the scores for NES 1 & 2 are so underated!

I am now 45 and still think this movie is unmitigated brilliance. As a child it was a true fantasy experience for me. I felt every emotion so viscerally: happiness, anger, profound sadness, and on and on. Artax in the swamp of sadness caused me to ponder the complexities of life and loss in ways not yet visited by my young mind. And as a child, I thought the childlike empress was the sweetest most lovely girl I had ever seen. Mind blowing to think that I am now quoting Rock Biter to my own kids, “…I couldn’t hold on to them the nothing pulled them right out of my hands.”

When this movie came out, I had a friend who was the only child of German parents who was bilingual (of course!) and was taken to Germany on a regular basis. He told me the film only covered a fraction of the novel, which was quite apparent when I got a copy and read part of it. I never did finish it, as other things intervened. The thing I found most amazing was that this long, complicated book was written for German kids in _grade school,_ which made me wonder a lot about the educational system in the US.

Yeah... Although, it's kind of a shame that the sequal kind of seemed like a let-down in places, and only really seemed to borrow concepts from the 2nd half of the book, rather than really try to adapt it well. Either way, nothing can really be worse than the embarassment that the 3rd movie was. Certainly makes it kind of understandable why the OG author's estate, currently has a vice-like grip on the IP, these days.

I watched this movie again and again in the 80's as a kid. I could never understand what Bastian named the Empress. It's hard to hear. Years later (as a teenager) I found the book "The Neverending Story" in the mall book shop, and I bought it, if only to read what word Bastian is shouting. Imagine my shock at seeing that his mom's name was Moon Child. That is so odd, and is not explained at all. I wonder if that was her nickname. Anyway, in the 90's (as a teen) I showed this movie to some Russian kids I babysat. They were kind of hard kids, and they actually laughed at the part where Artax sinks in the swamp. I was kind of shocked by that! My husband and I now love to watch this, The Karate Kid, and Back to the Future when we're in the mood for movies we grew up with. We have 80's movie nights at our house! I never liked The Neverending Story II. I didn't even know there was a number III.

In The Neverending Story, Engywook explains the Magic Mirror Gate to Falkor, he says that the mirror shows a person their true nature. Brave men are cowards. Kind men are cruel. so when Atreyu looks into the Magic Mirror Gate, why does Atreyu see Bastion and Bastion see Atreyu? I think it is because Bastion as the main protagonist of the story is the same as Atreyu, as the empress said: "Just as he is sharing all your adventures, other's are sharing his." Its a 4th wall break inside a 4th wall break. Atreyu realises he is the main character of the book about him, the same way bastion realises he is the main character of the movie that we are watching. This proves to them both that anything is possible. The movie has a great underlining message about the world of books and film and that if people don't pay attention to something it will ultimately fail and turn to nothing. A.K.A - Destroyed by the "Nothing". It's a pretty deep message for a kids movie. What do you think? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

@@shoesncheese "Unintentional bullying"? That is not a thing. Intent is crucial for something to count as bullying. Bullies put others down to elevate themselves. They are fully aware of what they are doing and they mean to do it, and they get a rise out of it. A parent dealing with grief and trying to help their kid with theirs, even with poor methods and communication skills, does certainly not count as bullying. That's not to say that it can't put stress on the kid and do some damage, but that is not the intent, and that matters. Be careful with those labels, seriously.
