During the first ten minutes of this film, I was already disapointed. I thought the camcorder style screamed "look at me! i just graduated art school!" But after those first ten minutes, I got over it.

This movie is so tragic, breathtaking, innocent, and depressing that I can't think of much to say about it. Bjork broke my heart as Selma. At times, the way she reacted to situations seemed too enthusiastic to be acting (in particular, when she and Bill are talking about musicals, when the tap dancers come out. Bjork should have won the oscar, or at least Ellen Burnstyn for "Requiem for a Dream"...but no - Julia Roberts gets it ... HOW?)

Peter Stormare was beautiful in a sad, sad way, and proved what an excellent actor he is.

A lot of people have said the plot is unbelievable, or the musical numbers are laughable - don't you think that's the point? Stop trying to make one plus one equal two and tap into the emotions instead!!!

When I was little, my favorite movies were The NeverEnding Story, the Princess Bride, Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal, and Ghostbusters.

I used to make my daddy rent The NeverEnding Story at least twice a month for me. I was in love with Atreju... I cried when his horse died (and I still cry when I see it now). I was afraid of the Nothing... I wanted to be the Empress.

The scene that always got me was the ending, when Bastian rides Falcor's back out of Fantasia and into the "real world" and they go after those bullies! I was always like "Yeah! Show 'em who's boss!!!"

The NeverEnding Story will always stand out in my mind as being part of my childhood.
