Ende - Die unendliche Geschichte is one of my favourite books ever  . It is about the importance of fantasy in life, covering a lot of philosophical questions. The film version from Petersen is so bad, that even the author Ende distanced himself from it. The philosphical questions were skipped, the silver dragon became a fluffy dog-creature...aaargh... I can go on ranting about it forever.  Dune I have not read the book, and there are a lot of film versions on it. So no vote from me. ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

Epicness of Grograman and the page where Artax dies, the film doesn't do the extreme sadness justice! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

Like both, but preferred the Dune film to The Never Ending Story -- haven't read the Neverending Story book. As for soundtracks, I'm a Doldinger and Moroder fan more than Toto, but Toto/Eno put out a great soundtrack in Dune, and I don't think Never Ending Story is Doldinger's or Moroder's best work (love Doldinger's Das Boot and Moroder's Midnight Express scores -- both films resonate more with me as well). |

I read Dune. I liked the movie when it first came out. I can no longer stand it. The excessive use of narration was a very in-artful way of converting from book to cinema. The acting of the star shudderingly awful. The book is way better. I've seen a better more recent version that spanned the whole trilogy. I don't recall any info about it, though. It seems like I've seen Neverending Story, but I can't really remember it, so no vote. ------------- A curse upon the heads of those who seek their fortunes in a lie.

As an adaptation of Atreyu's adventures, the film is great. Of course, the whole part about Bastian being involved in the story, has been reduced to a few corny moments, which is a shame, but the second part of the book (with Bastian as the protagonist) would have made a second feature-length film and the film makers obviously didn't have the budget for that. Ende said he liked the US sequel more than Petersen's film, but I totally disagree with him. ------------- "4/4 - That's 5/4 minus one." - Don Ellis (1934-1978) |
