The Neverending Story

In Sunday School Josh made us do an ice breaker. He asked what our favorite movies were when we were younger. So as usual in Sunday School, I sit there like a lump on a log. We all know I'm mouthy but it's a rare moment when I talk in Sunday School. Yeah, I turn into a wallflower for some reason. Anyways, a few people say which ones they liked. Goonies, etc. So I get excited because I'm going to say mine. Drum roll please.....Yeah, I liked the Neverending Story. And you coulda heard a pin drop. And then the guy next to me says the dog, whose name is Falkor by the way, creeps him out. And everyone agrees with him.

I really liked that movie. I bawled my eyes out when Atreyu's horse died. So sad, and I thought the Childlike Princess was the most beautiful thing ever. Her castle was so pretty! And the Rockeater and his son were wonderful! I was an avid reader growing up and I loved escaping into a book. I think that's why I loved this movie. Because the main character, Bastian, has to save the world of Fantasia from "the nothing."

It was brought up in the discussion that now that we are older, the movies are not as good as when we were little. So I'm not going to chance ruining my memories by watching it again. I'll just remember it fondly and defend it every chance I get....
