A never ending movie

I don´t remember the first time I saw this movie, probably in a national channel, or maybe my mom rented it (on Errol’s of course!), the thing is that I was like 5 years old, and the movie talked about fantasy, dreams, fear and the sad that adults world were.
The movie I’m talking about is Die unendliche Geschichte, also called The never ending story directed by Wolfgang Petersen and released in 1984, this movie is an adaptation of a book, the story shows us a common day in Bastian’s life, a kid like we all were in the past, but who has his own problems, like the lost of her mother, and the bulling he suffered everyday from other children bigger than him. One day escaping from that kids, Bastian hide in a special bookstore, were the librarian was reading a strange book that called Bastian’s attention. Disobeying the librarian’s advice, a curious Bastian took away the book to read it. When he starts reading the story in the book is when Bastian starts a never ending story.
I’m not going to tell you anymore, I would spoil you if you haven’t seen it jet. It’s a really good movie with old FX, a bit childish maybe, but the message is really good for all adults and kids, to never stop dreaming.

Hope you see it someday.

  1. I actually want it to see that movie but for some reason I didn't. I saw the tv serie on cartoons.
    I admit I allways wanted a flying dragon like the one Bastian had.

  4. I remember that movie! I watched the second part once and I asked my mother if she could buy me the book for christmas. But the book wasn't was totally diferent from the movie, I think the book was part 1 or 3 I don't know, so I get bored and never finished the book.

  9. I love this movie too! And the soundtrack... Gosh, I love 80's music. It's so nostalgic. I liked the big white dog dragon, whose name I've completely forgotten. Great movie!
