Description of this Neverending Story Movie Poster
The Neverending Story is a film released on April 6, 1984, a West German and American co-production in the fantasy genre. It was directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and the screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Ende. It starred Noah Hathaway and Barret Oliver in the lead roles. It was produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter Giessler. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive film produced outside the United States or the Soviet Union. The film was the first in The NeverEnding Story series. The film only adapts the first half of the book and therefore does not convey the message of the title as described in the novel. The second half of the book was later used as a rough basis for the second film, The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter (1990). The third film, The NeverEnding Story III: Escape from Fantasia (1994), has an original plot that is not based on the book. Bastian Baltasar Bux (Barret Oliver) is a shy 10-year-old boy and avid reader who is bullied at school because he is frequently mistreated by his classmates. One day, while fleeing them, he hides in a bookstore. The bookstore owner, Mr. Koreander (Thomas Hill), warns him about the danger of a book he is reading at the time, titled The Neverending Story. However, Bastian cannot resist the temptation and takes advantage of Mr. Koreander’s carelessness to steal it, leaving him a note promising to return it. He manages to sneak into his school’s old attic and eagerly begins to read. The book tells the story of young Atreyu (Noah Hathaway), who has been chosen to save the kingdom of Fantasia from a destructive force called “the Nothing” that is slowly consuming everything. Bastian cannot stop reading the story and becomes completely immersed in Atreyu’s world, with its fantastical beings like dwarves, racing snails, and makeshift dragons. When all seems lost for Fantasia and the misguided Atreyu believes he has failed in his mission to destroy the “Nothing,” Bastian realizes that the boy savior of adventure he has pinned all his hopes on is not Atreyu the Warrior, but himself. In order to save the Child Empress (Tami Stronach), and thus Fantasia, he finally does what the story’s characters themselves ask him to do: shout out the long-sought new name for the Empress. In doing so, Bastian comes face to face with the princess. She holds in her hands a seed containing all that remains of Fantasia and asks Bastian to stand before her with the seed in his hand and make a wish for a new world. Bastian does as the princess asks, and Fantasia blooms once again. Bastian flies over Falkor (Alan Oppenheimer), the lucky dragon who befriended Atreyu, to see the kingdom and its inhabitants restored. When Atreyu makes his next wish, Bastian directs him to the real world to scare the children who were chasing him on the street near Mr. Koreander’s bookstore. After flying down an alley, they crash into a trash can, and Bastian and the dragon laugh, while the narrator says, “And Bastian made many, many more wishes and had many more wonderful adventures before he returned to the humdrum world of everyday life, but that’s another story.”
