The director, Wolfgang Peterson, and the screenwriter were also talking about sociopolitical issues when the Gmork stated that those without hope are easy to control. It was a message for children and adults. We are seeing this play out in the world right now.

Michael Ende was part of a society that some might call a "cult". He believed in the power of the mind to create reality. The book was very serious to him, and unfortunately he didn't like the movie, but I cherished it as a kid and still do to this day.

Yes. It's playing out with Covid 19 and how the weak minded have been fooled.

I love it when the Empress talks about us being part of Bastion’s story the way he was part of their story, which means someone else is looking down at us, following our story and so on, because it never ends

I always have to share this when I see reactions to this movie. I showed it to my husband when we were dating, and then we went to the beach the next day. We were walking along the beach and someone had dug a hole and I fell into it. He starts dramatically screaming out, "ARTAAAAAX!" as he was pulling me out, I was so embarrassed.

The real book, The Neverending Story by Michael Ende was meant to put forward a serious message for children and adults. He wrote children's stories, but he thought of himself as a serious writer who wrote stories with serious messages. He wrote for children to pay the bills, but his ideas were heavy.

I will always loved this movie....when I was a kid I was bullied too and I loved reading so I really identified with the kid in this movie. And now as an adult I have a better understanding of what "The Nothing" in the real world is and that makes this movie beautifully hopeful.

Ultimately, it's a book that celebrates reading - diving into someone else's fantasy - by making Bastian part of that fantasy. As a film, of course, that's a problem, because you're not reading it but seeing it, but still well done. I also read the book long before the movie, Michael Ende was the German youth book author of the 70s and I can also still remember the two inks.

If you ever get the chance, give the book 'The Neverending story' by Micheal Ende a read. He hated the movie because so much was cut from the novel, but the novel..its pretty wild. This is a childhood favorite of mine and its still a thought provoking story as a film too. Fun fact, Gluckuk (I had to look up his name) the racing snail rider, is the same actor who played the Oompa Loompa's in Burton's Charlie and the chocolate factory, the actor is Deep Roy.

Michael Ende took that part very seriously. His book was meant to have a message and although he didn't like the movie, I think it does a great job representing the first 3rd of the book.

Imagine a theater full of kids crying.. Yup, that’s what it was like in the theater when the swamp scene happened.

I was a kid when I first saw that movie. The death of the horse was really tragic and then Atreyu's face-to-face encounter with the big bad wolf was terrifying.

Artax sinking into the swamps of saddness is one of the most intense movie moments in cinema history. It still makes me cry and I almost never cry.

It's awesome how she realizes the true nature of the Never Ending Story just as Bastian did.

Classic movie. Still one of the best movie soundtracks ever made. That part where Artax sinks in the swamp, though, used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid.

This movie is amazing! While its special effects haven't aged very well, they still add to the film's charm. And the final plot twist is so amazing, well thought out... Now imagine reading straight from the book like I did when I was a kid... Kids (and maybe pre-teens, idk) should watch this film as one of the first movie experiences of their life, just after Disney's classic ones. The book is also a good entry point for pleasant reading experiences.

Can you imagine my surprise when I learned that the movie has always been a German production? I learned about it back in the 1990s. The city street scenes meanwhile were filmed on location in Canada.

A children’s movie about facing death and growing up. Facing your fears with bravery and overcoming them. It’s heavy and a little dark like all good German fairytales 😅

Nothing beats the intensity and charm of 80's children's stories. They were real and raw.

I was 11 when this came out so about the age of Sebastian and I would read to avoid my home stuff also my mom passed like his did so I related to him on so many levels.

"What's your first wish?" "To motorboat the Southern Oracle."

This is such a touching reaction and I love that you address that when we get a certain age we stop dreaming but movies like this remind us that the kid in US is still there and never stops dreaming❤

21:39 "The statues are _naked."_ Yes. And this is a _kids_ movie.

Iconic movie

I just now realize how brutal manipulative the scene with the dying horse is, like even if you could stand the actual dying of the horse, switching to the boy crying WILL make you cry for sure!

24:58 "What a shame they don't ask _me._ _My_ mother. She had such a _wonderful_ name." Yes. A name that sounds a lot _better_ in the German in which this story was originally _written._ „Mondkind.“ (Pronounced like "mont kint") Name her _that._ That name sounds _professional_ and _dignified._

one of my favorite childhood movies for sure!

This movie is for kids but its also good for adults to remind them not to let their imagination die.

Loved this movie since the first time I saw it(when it was NEW) as a child, and now, watching someone react to it adds a whole new layer of 'meta' to it. LOL We are watching you, watching Bastian, reading the story....

13:32 Well, _first,_ taking a horse directly across _any_ swamp is _never_ a good idea. But second, this _particular_ swamp, in which you sink in if you don't have a way to stay happy _has_ to make it clear, you _don't_ take your horse in if you don't have a _guaranteed_ way to keep the horse _happy._

It´s also a great book wroten by Michael Ende!

The first and second films were partly shot at Bavaria Film in Munich, parts of the third film were shot in Potsdam-Babelsberg. There are some publicly accessible props from the film in the film park and in the Bavaria Filmstadt. Among other things, the lucky dragon Fuchur can be seen in Babelsberg, although Fuchur is a completely new design of the dragon. In the Bavaria Filmstadt you can see, among other things, the Felsenbeißer, Morla and the version of Fuchur used in the first two films. In the case of Fuchur, it can even be ridden. With the help of blue screen technology, you can see yourself flying on a screen over the same landscape that Atreyu and Bastian fly over in the film.

If I remember correctly this was the first ever movie they made. There is a few visual effects but it is mainly all practicle. According to the BluRay Commentary The Dog/Dragon took 27 people to operate. It also took over 3 month to train the horse to stand still while drowning. Each day they'd sink the horse a few more inches. Then it just thought it was normal... Horses are really fooking stupid.

Vanessa putting a smile on my face with this notification! ❤ I'm curious about the Artax scene. (the horse)

This movie is what being a child was all about. Miss those days of Innocence and imagination ✨️

Vanessa, as long as we draw breath, hope can never be gone. Pursue our dreams that were meant to drive to a goal. It's a precious freedom, that we should never give up. This is my dream, to make films, books, and perhaps video games to save everyone from despair, by inspiring everyone to pursue their dreams. Entertain them, but give them an idea to strive for. Though, I got to start somewhere, so why not start with reviews and hope I can draw investors who wish to see my visions come to life. Also, every time I see you cry, I wanna hug you and tell ya it will be fine. Have a great day and night.

This story is layered. On one layer, it is all about loss. Another layer is how Bastian is following Atreyu's life while this reactor us following Bastian's adventure while we follow her adventure...

I was 5 when this movie came out and I've loved it every since. Side not when I was 18 I got a job at a local casino and one of my coworkers looked so much like the child like empress all grown up I and others thought she was but she said she wasn't

You're reaction to this movie was beautifully genuine. Thank you.

i remember in 1987 singing and dancing to the song with my sister #1

When I was a kid there was a huge earthquake and half my city was destroyed. I got the movie soundtrack and played it over and over to feel myself protected from The Nothing.

i was just watching a reaction to spielberg's "hook," starring robin williams and it reminded me of this marvelously charming film. so here i am. i first saw the film as as adult on 80s cable. and just thought it was one of the most charming and inspirational films i ever saw.

Surprisingly, a film from Germany, with German production. Filmed in Germany and USA. Another German children's and family film is: MOMO. Must also be from the 1980s. The most expensive 'German' film up to that point was even more international. Starring Tom Hanks and Hale Berry, among others, and playing multiple characters, but masked so well you can hardly recognize them in some roles. The film takes place over hundreds of years. past to future. One of the filmmakers is a Wachowsky, the Wachowski brothers, BOTH of whom later had surgery to become 'women', are also responsible for the Matrix films. Title of the film: Cloud Atlas (2012 - 2.52 Hours - IMDb 7,5) Addendum: There are 2 sequels to the film (Neverending Story). I don't remember well, the third one has different main actors anyway. Wasn't rated very well, but you can watch it. Surely the first is the best and something new at that point in time.

@@JarodMoonchild1975 Well, I watched Momo a LONG time ago, so I can't really say much about it, but the level is certainly different and without such special effects, but there is an underlying message, an interesting story, albeit aimed at a younger audience . And I have no comparison to the books as to whether they could do it justice. It is not uncommon for films to differ significantly from the text. Making a 1.30 hour film from a long book already brings with it major limitations. Although I don't remember much, I would prefer The Neverending Story. Direct comparisons are difficult. There are various genres. One person likes this more, another another. There are IMDb ratings of films that you wouldn't go along with. There are reviews from film critics that can be completely different than those from the average viewer. The 'German' film mentioned (with an international cast): Cloud Atlas, which can be described as epic, is in the top league and was partly torn apart and rated very poorly by German film critics in YT channels. BUT not from everyone. One critic even left the cinema at the beginning of the film, BUT he still dared to write a long film review about it. Very dubious and clear, the film is structured differently than other films and you don't understand a lot of things, so you have to continue watching the film to understand. Various actors in several roles at the same time, you only notice that in the end credits, when you are surprised to find out who had which role, because you often can't tell. Another family film where there are hardly any reactions to it, but it is also special and hits the tear duct: A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001-IMDb 7.2) The same young actor from: The 6th Sense Or the following film. that doesn't fit into any genre, I don't understand why such things have been ignored so far, there are many more, a masterpiece: TOP MOVIE: Mr. Nobody (2009 - IMDB 7.8) 2.35 Hours long in the Director's Cut. Wiki: Mr. Nobody is a 2009 science fiction drama film written and directed by Jaco Van Dormael and starring Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, Diane Kruger, Linh Dan Pham, Rhys Ifans, Natasha Little, Toby Regbo, and Juno Temple. It tells the life story of Nemo Nobody, a 118-year-old man who is the last mortal on Earth after the human race has achieved quasi-immortality. Nemo, memory fading, tells a doctor and journalist about his three main loves and his parents' divorce and the subsequent hardships he endured. The speculative narrative frequently changes course to investigate the alternate life paths that could have resulted from his making different decisions in his life, focusing on when he is nine, fifteen, and thirty-four. The film has nonlinear narrative that incorporates the multiverse hypothesis.... Please do not confuse it with a film of the same name. The film does not fit into any genre. He deviates far from the standard mush. Also difficult to describe, you simply have to see it. the best would be, of course, in a reaction video :).

I've got to say that the novel by Michael Ende is way better than the movie. The only thing that I liked from the movie was the Limahl theme song.

Hi Dear. Hola. Good classic film. Happy to see you enjoyed it. Yes, the movie is cute, like you are. ☺️

Great reaction! Glad to see another person who loves this classic. There are other two movies (I don't know whether you've reacted to them or not) but the second one is a mixup of the events of the second part of the book where this is based. I strongly recommend reading the book, as the movie only depicts the "first half" of the book. Bastian surely had many more adventures and the second half of the book talks about them. It also has a very deep and emotional message you will surely love. The second movie tries to depict this part, but they omitted and changed so many things that it almost totally diverts from the book plot. And the third movie was totally original material, nothing to do with the source material. Hope you continue dwelling in these 80s fantasy classics, to name a few: Lady Hawk, Legend, Willow, Labyrinth... You'll surely love them!

This movie...always an emotional journey
