Just re-watch the original version of this great but often forgotten classic,how did kids react to the ending being confusing mess?
>>217440543>Neverending story>Endshow was the ending a mess?
>>217440543Genuinely curious if this is worth a watch or if its just le ebbin 80s nostalgia
>>217440543I dunno, but I know how adult men reacted to the ending.
>>217440858Its a little of both Though if you didnt see it as a child you probably won't enjoy it as much
>>217440892Qrd I always heard kids were freaking out at the knight scene & the adults were ***** off because of naked statue nips showing?
>>217440858It is very good and fun, you should.
>>217440793op read a plebbit post that said it was because someone read the book and decided the film wasn't like the book, so then op had that new firmware update put into his npc head and regurgitated it on here so he can have second hand attention from someone else's stupid idea
>got freaked out by Gmork, the whole sequence felt nightmarish>couldn't tell what name Bastion was yelling during the "call my name" part (apparently it's Moonchild?) or why that was important>thought the "one grain of sand" scene was cool, and liked the idea of making wishes and building things with dreams and imagination>but thought his wish to ride on Falcor and scare the bullies in the real world was very unambitious and lameeven as a kid I liked the dark fantasy aspects of the movie a lot more than the goofy typical-kids-movie stuff
>>217440543I watched this movie just the other day for the first time as a 33 year old and I thought it absolutely sucked. The kid had zero hardship in his life, he skipped class and homework and was a scared little bitch and then got rewarded for it, and the movie just ends. The dad's kid has been kidnapped as far as he knows but no mention of any of that. It was only slightly redeemed by reading the wiki and realizing it's only half the book's story and all the missing parts of the story were in the second half
>>217441072in fact, it's more or less exactly what grok does, has shit recycled ideas from weakly sensational plebbit posts - then passes them off as though it's noticed it first hand.given this site is nearly dead and they'll do anything to simulate traffic, this and other similarly dogshit threads are just made with a grok passthrough bot.
>>217441075">I wstchedsure ya did
>>217441075Doesn't help at all that everyone from the 1st film was completely recast,I literally thought this was a girl the entire time like the karate kid 3
>>217441165isn't that lucas from seaquesti thought atreyu was a girl in the first film
My zoomer nephew started singing the song and thought he watched the movie and she said he heard it on stranger things
>>217440543>original versionthere's only one adaptation nigger
>>217441228never watched any of that, sounds like tarantino style rehashed ripoff member berriesthird hand retro pop culture, sickening
>>217440543I just watched it and while the visuals are kinda nice, I was disappointed. I read the book synopsis after, and I was surprised to learn most of the interesting stuff is in the second half of the book that is only in the second movie no one likes.This really deserves another attempt at adaption.
>>217440858It's really good, especially by kids movie standards. It doesn't pull its punches at all, except the ending is kind of retarded.
>>217441295i just read the synopsis and it's a dumb story that should fade into obscurity
>>217441343Fade into nothing, you might say?
>>217441357fade into the nothingalso wiki says some german company is currently planning to do a new film series so your wish was granted
>>217441357>mfw that ending directly talking to not only bastion himself but the entire audience tooI couldn't stop laughing that's pure genius & solid gold m8
>>217441295>>217441075same bot grok fag is same bot fag
>>217441446you should just kill yourself already if you have convinced yourself everyone who doesn't like your stupid kids movie from 40 years ago is a grok bot
>>217441370I'm certain they won't fuck it up with questionable casting decisions and political messaging inserted for modern audiences
>>21744054380s movies were engineered by the National Research Group to be the lowest common denominator of what people say they want to watch when surveyed. I don't know why people are yearning for this era specifically, especially since movies are even more data driven today.
>>217440858I am a huge dark fantasy lover. Its honestly not that great. Carried hard by nostalgia. The Pagemaster is a similar but superior film.
the movie was ok.the book was amazing
>>217441529neither of those are dark fantasypicrel is dark fantasy
>>217441522So 80s movies were what people wanted to watch? Gee I wonder why people are nostalgic for that.The vast amount of data being used today to make shows is clearly not about what people want to watch
>>217441529Hard disagree, Pagemaster kinda sucks.Definitely one of the lesser culkin flicks. Though the animation itself was pretty decent
>>217441481lol, I know this is 100% real but it looks like a joke edit. I saw this when I was pretty young and although my eyes lingered on the booba, it made that whole sequence more fucked up rather than boner-inducing. Like some kind of psychosexual annihilation of unworthy males.
>>217441682There's a difference between what people go out of their way to watch and what people say they want to watch. Especially when they're in groups, people will just outright lie to make themselves look better, especially since it's an unprovable opinion. In the 80s this meant they'd ask for something extremely saccharine and sentimental with zero subtext, 10 years ago they'd say they wanted diversity and feminist messaging.
>>217440543I enjoyed it all the same, was pretty spooked as a kid when the nothing started to destroy everything. Still think her name is fucking stupid though.
>>217440543there was also the tv seireshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqN6uv34qVI
>>217440543I'll always respect this movie for tricking thousands of children into watching a horse drown while a young boy hysterically tries to save it.
>>217441206>was a girl Did you not see his open shirt m8?
>They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g01ud9TUtIk
>>217441743> 10 years ago they'd say they wanted diversity and feminist messaging.If you’ll believe that you’ll believe anything. Retarded zoomer
>>217441165Have I ever got the film for you, Señoré!
>>217441875kek
>>217441073It adapts basically just the first half of the book it's based on, and not particularly well. "Moonchild" is an Aleister Crowley reference, which is probably why the movie made it almost unintelligible.
Kids stuff in the 80s was weird. Our parent lets us watch all type of strange stuff.
