It's also about Nihilism.

This scene with Morla hits differently when you're an adult


Look at that boy's wrist at the 50 second mark.

I don't know what part of New York City this boy lived in but it definitely wasn't Harlem. And they definitely didn't have Brazilian jiu-jitsu dojos wherever the f*** he was at

The neverending story's author hates the movie and says that they didn't understand the book, since they made it look like a happy go lucky adventure and removed a lot of the darker themes. Also half the book is missing

Why The NeverEnding Story's Author Hated Its Film Adaptation
'The NeverEnding Story': Author Michael Ende Hated the Film So Much He Wanted His Name Removed From the Credits

If any thing the movie should have leaned harder into those topics
They should make it today

Yep. Put messages in there for the kids.


Real talk- No one ever forgets this movie or book. Imagine a bunch of adults going back to rewatch and reread and finally understanding the message, putting it to work in the present.
We still have time to stop The Nothing :ohhh::wow:
