Let me think about... "The Neverending Story"

Usually rather popular things are thought to have no hidden meaning or rather good things are not popular enough.  I`m going to take sometimes some of them for a discussion.

The Sixteenth - "A Beautiful Fairytale"  - Discussion of the "Neverending Story" movie.

 

The movie is the most beautiful fairy tale I`ve ever seen. This one is out of the kind of movies that are memorable from the very first time you`ve seen it. It becomes a part of childhood memories, leaves reflections and makes you cry. One of the most fascinating stories, screened in 1984. Have a chance to watch it till you`re not a grown-up! 

Actually, the movie is based on a novel by a German writer Michael Ende «Die unendliche Geschichte». By the way, the writer rufused to admit the fact that this film refers his book, as it contains too little of it, but he lost the action. Unfortunatelly I still haven`t read it, can`t say whether he is true or not.

The actors who starred in the movie have changed incredibly as a lot of time has passed, and you`re interested how they live now.

Bastian was played by Barret Oliver, he is 39 now.

The Childlike Empress was played by Tami Stronach, now a 40 years old woman, married and have a child. She was 11 when she had stared in "...Story", but after that her parents didn`t allow her to act anymore.

The sweet Atreyu was played by Noah Hathaway, who seems to be the only one who stayed being an actor of the three leading actors. He is also 40 and he is also married:)
