I pretty much haven't blogged about anything since Halloween. :( And heaven knows, that's not because I haven't had anything to blog about. I got married to the coolest person alive, moved into a new apartment, and have been going to school. But I'm not going to talk about any of that. I'm going to talk about the Neverending Story. I watched this the other night on a whim. What a charming, charming film. Just listen to the theme song and tell me that you don't feel happy inside.
Watch it! NOW!!!
It hearkens back to a simpler (ok, maybe not, it was the most expensive film ever made outside the US) shall we say, less plastic time of film-making? With hand-drawn backgrounds imposed on the screen an tiny miniatures shot from far off, a shaky plot, and something extraordinary! Love this show!

And, apparently, at the movie's end when he is renaming the empress, he yells "Moonchild!" Supposedly that was his mother's name. Mind you, it's impossible to understand what he says, I watched this show with subtitles and it didn't even say it! I guess I'll have to take Wikipedia's word for it...
i too have done much research on this topic and moon child is apparently in the book as well. but still, completely random. and it is a great song!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing it from the bedroom. Love you, coolest person in the world.
