Neverending Story Review
Wolfgang Petersen (In the Line of Fire) made his first English-language
film with this 1984 fantasy about a boy (Barret Oliver) visualizing the
stories of a book hes reading. The imagined tale involves another boy, a
warrior (Noah Hathaway), and his efforts to save the empire of Fantasia
from a nemesis called the Nothing. Whether or not the scenario sticks in
the memory, what does linger are the unique effects, which are not quite
like anything else. Plenty of good fairy-tale characters and memorable
scenes, and the film even encourages kids to read. --Tom Keogh
This film has a habit of affecting people deeply in usually very positive
ways. I can say that it saved me in my darkest hour and distributed the
very beautiful message to me that creativity is the most powerful force we
have against becoming empty "masses of men who lead lives of quiet
desperation." The idea of the film and book portrays that of what a true
genius is: a creator who if indulges too much in his creation loses himself
in his work. An unlikely genius... a young boy... who reads about another
little boy who takes on a quest with no weapons, no help from anyone, with
the anticipation of horrible danger... possible death, and with no chance for
success. No sensible adult would take on that quest. I child would when
there is no other choice. Tenaci ousness and creativity in the realm of
impossibilities... Strange creatures and impressive beauty... this film
portrays visually the never-ending framing device that is used in the book...
When seen in widescreen, the artful German style can be savored. Here is
a fantasy like no other because... The NeverEnding Story is your story.
