The Neverending Story

I love the scene in "The Never Ending Story" where the little warrior Atreyus has to walk through the Swamp of Despair. Atreyus loses hope after meeting a wise ancient turtle who tells him it's impossible to save Fantasia. He leaves the wise turtle to walk back too the Swamp which swallows anyone who gives into the emotion. I love the directors symbolization of threading through mud to signify the struggle one has without hope.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
