 | I rewatched The NeverEnding Story lately and was actually blown away yet again. It’s such a novel mix of childhood marvel, deep emotion, and surreal fantasy. The world of Fantasia nonetheless feels alive, mysterious, and filled with creativeness — even in spite of everything these years. As a child, it felt magical. As an grownup, it hits even more durable. The Nothing, the Swamp of Disappointment, Atreyu’s journey, Bastian's grief… there are such a lot of highly effective themes hidden below the floor. And the sensible results, costumes, puppetry — simply unimaginable. It has a soul that the majority fashionable fantasy movies can’t replicate. It’s wild how a movie from 1984 can nonetheless really feel extra emotionally resonant and visually imaginative than a lot of what we see at present. Curious what number of of you grew up with this movie — and the way do you’re feeling about it now? https://preview.redd.it/8ldq5b32gp9f1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0074e93523b26989a72b088865b459f35c724660 submitted by /u/gotocze |
