Pleasant listening cinema

The play is in my view a successful implementation of the book, although the story in this medium may not be as comprehensive as in the written original. Compared to the various film versions, it is very close to it and gives the charm of history and many times better. If production already has some more years under his belt, so I think they are quite timeless good. The speakers are convincing and the unobtrusive background music fits. To criticize may be some fairly strong jumps from one scene to the next, which can mediate the impression that you would at some point something not catch. However, this is noted for very few passages and interfere with the enjoyment not really, nor the pursuit of the overall story.

The boy Bastian steals the book "The Neverending Story" and read it secretly in the attic of his school. Increasingly, he is under the spell of the story and eventually replaced entirely over the world fantasies. Because the book is a magical portal to that kingdom that looking through the book in the human world for help. Fantasies is slowly but surely swallowed up by nothing and can only be preserved by a people from our world before it. In fantasies arrived, Bastian fills this newly with his imagination and safeguard so before sinking. But He is in danger of forgetting its own reality piece by piece. From this way, he loses himself and his memory almost completely and must now in turn be saved, to find their way into our world back.

History is more than just a children's book, if you can ever call it so. Because it is full of philosophy, wisdom, and to questions about our world related images and parables, which can actually be totally reflected more of an adult. Unlike the films that offer rather shallow entertainment and distort the history of the book z. T. arg, this philosophical level has been transmitted well in the radio drama production.

Conclusion: All friends of radio plays, as the thoughtful find on fairytale pleasure, this CD box is recommended, regardless of age.
