threeplusfireCurrently reliving a lot of childhood fears while watching The Neverending Story with Melynda. The Nothing scared me, still scares me in some philosophical way.
Every part, every creature of it is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore it has no boundary.
But why is Fantasia dying then?
Because have become to lose their hopes and forget their dreams... because people who have no hopes are easy to control.
It's a strange thing, this movie, and I haven't watched it in a long time, and full of a profound sadness for a children's movie. There are things that remind me of myself, and the way I was as a child. You can't quite understand the name he calls out at the end, and I think that is part of the magic of the story.
For some reason, the children in this are rather good. They are real and fantastic at once.
Reive's eloquent post on talismans has been in the back of my mind since I went to bed this morning, and it lingers. The things we carry with us to remind us of moments and dreams and ideas

((I'd definitely like to discuss the Lucius/Tom-RP with you. I'll probably be on tomorrow at around 2 pm CT, but I'll be braindead by then, not having slept for two nights and stuff. If you don't mind that though, and if you have time, we could at least *talk* then. Even though I can't promise that I'll be very coherent then.))
