"The NeverEnding Story" never gets old. It is a timeless joy. Through the years I have enjoyed it with my sons, my students, my elder grandsons, and my young granddaughter. It is such an achievement when you can have child actors carry an entire motion picture. They convey the best characteristics we want, not only in fiction, but in our own lives: loyalty, determination, kindness, empathy, and honor. The direction by Wolfgang Petersen shows how superior a craftsman he is. The musical score, highlighted by the terrific title song, carries you into the flow of the unfolding tale. The gradual realization of what the fantastic book is proclaiming is phenomenal. It is a wonderful movie experience.
