This f'ing monster traumatised me so much that I couldn't even walk down my hallway in the dark, or stare into a dark space without seeing his scary, glowing green eyes until I was in my early double-digit years and I first saw the film when I was 3 or 4. I should sue the producers for psychological damage. Still one of my favourite movies ever mind you :P
But out of interest, what was the Australian rating for this movie? Should've been at least PG :/ Kids movies were waaay scarier back then.
1. This scene just goes to show that CGI is the worst shit that has ever been created.
2. Kids movies used to be far more sophisticated and philosophical, making them enjoyable for not just children but adults as well, then it became 2000 and now every kids movie has been dumbed down to dudes with lesbian haircuts looking pretty and talking about how great they are.
@mdude009 While I mostly disagree with your first point, I agree that this is an exceptional fantasy movie for all ages, partly due to its source material, but also the creative minds behind it. Special props to the techi=nical wizardry of the Jim Henson Company.
True in the book Atreyu asks Gmork why he was so evil and he replied that he is from neither Fantastia nor Earth so is indifferent to the outcome. In other words he had no other purpose for himself but to serve the manipulators behind the nothing.
Yeah, he never did that in the book. He died off on his own, when Atreyu revealed his name Gmork quite literally died laughing (he was chained for a long time in there and succumbed to starvation).
Then, when Atreyu approached the corpse he lunged out and bit him, grabbing him firmly in it's jaws (despite truly being dead). As a result, Atreyu was kept safe from the nothing when it came close to him, as he was stuck where he was in Gmork's Jaws. Falkor got him out eventually.
I never thought Gmork was all that scary as a kid, but, really, now that I'm older, he's a lot scarier. Not just because I know the dangers of the world, but I get the concept of why Gmork existed.
gmork is very threatening & terrifying looking but at the same time he's GORGEOUS... his look is fascinating & because of that i hate thinking of him as an agent of the nothing. that should've been, like, puss or slime or something, not this gorgeous creature, lol. this puppet would make the perfect werewolf.
i love this movie, but they made a huge mistake with that music when atreyu sees gmork. it needed nothing but his growl and that clumsy kinda cheezy music detracts from the moment - it's a shame. :(
That music always freaked me out as a kid. I think it adds a lot to the terror of the moment personally. It may be cheesy, but if you want to be completely consistent then every piece of this film is probably is probably a little cheesy. :) That's kinda what makes it fun..
These puppets and voices really are fantastic. They made Falcor charming and endearing, Gmork Truly menacing and that one scene with the Rock Biter really sad
It's interesting to note that Gmork is not a creature of Fantasia. He's a shape-shifter who travels between worlds trying to gain something from their destruction. I would think it's the only way he's able to exist.
I haven't read the Neverending Story in ages, so I can't remember who sent him or what happens in the second book that explains the "force behind the Nothing"
I remember in the book Atreyu asked Gmork why he was evil. And the werewolf said because he didn't belong anywhere so had no home in either world. I know he was evil but I still felt pity for him.
"I know he was evil but I still felt pity for him."
Pity is just another word for A Sad and Condescending Hope that may or may not result Kindness...relative to w/e agenda one intends for the pitiful in question.
People have pity for the Devil too. Mormons have to struggle with the notion that Lucifer is Jesus's brother since they are both the creations of God...though only Jesus is the Only Begotten and Lucifer doesn't have Form. (Cain and Abel pattern).
This guy, Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit, the Sharptooth from Land Before Time, the Pink Elephants from Dumbo, and the Child Catcher from Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang are what made up the majority of my nightmares as a kid.
The pink elephants from Dumbo? XD Gmork never scared me as kid but the old drug free america commercials use to really freak me out XD Funny how some things creep us out.
@ManticoreFire Mine were Medusa from the original Clash of the Titans, The king from Black Cauldron, the Skeksis from Dark Crystal and the Cave of the Beast in The twelve Tasks of Asterix.
Am i the only one who finds it weird that in swamps of sadness Gmork seems to knows who Atreyu is and attacks him but then at the next encounter he has no clue who he even though hes right in front of him.
I thought that too! But I think when Atreyu was in the mud and swamps Gmork thought he was grown man. I don't think he expected him to be a young boy. In the book when the werewolf found out, he died laughing.
@sweetvegan74 That makes sense. but i think in the book it was more likely that Gmork was very weak from hunger that he couldn't figure out that it was Atreyu thats what i always thought after i read the book.
In the movie I don't think that he ever really got a good look at Atreyu. In the book the only time they met face to face was in the Dead City: Gmork had just been following his scent before then. Atreyu disappeared from the desert before Gmork reached the end of his trail.
The nothing had a name haha it was called VIDEO GAMES. now kids don't use imagination...i have to force my kids to get nerf or toys instead of video games...Gmork was right unfortunately...every word he said :(
The nothing exists in reality just like everything in this movie... the nothing is the creature of mindless consumerism in the west and brainwashing atheism in the east... it kills your fantasies and replaces them with a mindless logical reality
@tgz1000 Depression, despair,lust for power, the transition from innocence to "adulthood" and the realization of a world without fantasy is the nothing. I'm not sure where you atheism, but I suppose that was your take on it.
For me it's all that I listed and I'd probably designate organized religion. consumerism and politics as "evil" because they deprive children of being children by forcing their agendas, preconceived assumptions, and judgments on them, hoping to influence their thinking.
@heero171 The belief or non- belief in a deity doesn't really do anything to individuality or independent thinking. Though humans will always be "flock: animals, so people can be manipulated whether they're atheists, agnostics, or religious devout people who follow their Holy texts down to the letter.
True Religion can be embodied in an organized religion. Your misunderstanding is that people succumb to false religion...and thus live out their fantasies through others.
Individualism vs Collectivism. That's what you should be seeing things as. All beings have a right to share their opinions. People can always choose their master. I suppose you just don't understand the purpose of organized religion....or perhaps you are a Nihilist yourself in all but name?
@LoneIndividual Nihilist? Far from it, I reject the notion that people's subjective perspective= only reality we know of. I'm agnostic, and tend to look at things from a scientific, Kantian perspective (not to say Kant was scientific, but his ideas do fit well into what we understand about the human mind).False religion? There's no such thing as "true" religion... because no religion on earth has any proof other than the conviction of their followers ( ancient texts and clerical interpretation)
False Religion is Entertainment...sex, drugs, music, violence...power. Experiences for the sake of Entertainment rather than Learning. True Religion is more rational and encourages liberation from these things that bind the individual unto someone else other than God (or w/e the higher authority is)
.
You focus on the agenda of establishments rather than the the desires of the individual. True Religion springs up from the heart of men. You should study Don Quixote. cont..
@LoneIndividual Believe me, I was raised as a Christian Scientist, I know what the metaphysical, puritanical beliefs concerning "True" knowledge and life experiences are as opposed to what spiritualists designate as being "distractions". I think this movie does in fact touch upon what you're saying a lot, but the author meant it in a more secular, fantasy sense (not alluding his work to transcendentalist religious thought).
I have read Don Quixote, it was a good read though extremely long.
Ok, it seems there if a little confusion going on here. You position is that you believe that there is no truth except what we "perceived"...that's hilarious, I'm sure we could spend hours of debate on that particular issue, but of course the issue of Moral Relativity is of a more pressing concern.
I'm a rigid pragmatist. I view the world through a pretty big lens regardless of this. However, as I understand it, looking at the world through kaleidoscope glasses is contradictory cont
cont to universalism. There is a universal truth, the only issue with the world today, is that people simple want different things. Depending on what you want (your aspirations...your ultimate purpose) you utilize a certain set of tools (methods). There is no "Do w/e and get what THAT GUY is getting" philosophy that consistently works for an entire lifetime w/ no adverse effects. Communists promote this philosophy (even though privately they ridicule it). cont...
Doubt you've read Don Quixote at all (it is rather long though I agree) much less scrutinized it (I'm still in the process myself). In regards to spiritualist and their interpretation of "distractions" , I think that the Mormons interpretation in their parable "The Tree of Life" is my favorite. It's simple and straight forward and warns against real threats that cause "everlasting" bondage/destruction...assuming the motive is The Individual/Family and their "Eternal Progression".
@LoneIndividual You're telling me I've never read something and also puffing yourself up intellectually over youtube? Not the sign of an secure person.
I NEVER said truth is all about perception, you're ranting on and on over things I've never explicity said (only what you assume I'm getting at).
Please don't support your argument using this New Age/Philosophy, you're talking about things that no human could ever know for certain (even such minds as Einstein). I've heard these arguments before.
I was actually being a prick to everyone by spending an entire evening replying to their unanswered messages. LOL.
You see, I let go and live my life, then come back just to spite. I actually stopped doing it past 6 months, since I more diligent in responding back.
But yeah, the conservation is dead. We disagree, so what. I'm sorry, forgive my trespass..pay it forward and make Youtube a better place.
Personally, I think we should im. I tend to spam...and go off on spiraling tangents unless there is a "correction" to set me back on course in the discusison...though I like to explore the other persons logic and expose their flaws (flawed as in...opposed to my "aspiration".)
You should actually study Nihilism and Particle Theory together You'd find some interesting "religion" in Science. And if you go the way of Einstein...and become a Collectivist, then you turn Humanity into God and thus destroy the Individual in the process. Or you destroy everthing...like KEFKA PALAZZO (based upon Frans Kafka/Nietzsche).
PS: I looked at the world simply as it was for my true religion. I didn't "objectify" what I was looking at (Particle Theory). Though I delight in the mundane...I love the bigger picture, which is a fluid mosaic (Wave Theory).
I combined the two theories (as Einstein did) and concluded that the Soul only exists in the motion of making decisions and consciously acting upon them.. As a man thinketh so is he! Also...I reference Schrodinger's Cat and the Uncertainty Principle. respond
nothin beats the ol fashioned special fx. cgi sucks ass, yeah sure hes just a big as puppet, but try makin sumthin that fukin scary with computer graphics, can't be done. I luv G'mork most badass movie creature ever. wait a minute this is a kid movie huh. man hollywood is fuuuucked up.
This movie really unlike most lights up the cerebral cortex, "Gmork" explains 'The Nothing' and being as it relates to human life in our existent world, it is true to that effect in that our world in our busy hustle and bustle, with hardly time to relax, let alone still drive ourselves to achieving great things, which begin with hope, dreams and motivation. Usually nothing more.
It's even more true today, it almost sounds like something Chomsky would say if he wrote a children's book, lol.
What seems to be missing in the message of this encounter between Gmork and Atreyu is the dialogue of Gmork that represents the server of the power behind the NOTHING to destroy the hope of Mankinds boundless dreams of saving Fantasia...Versus the symbol of saving the hopes of mankinds dreams of Fantasia,by the child star Atreyu~its the meaning behind the story of 'The Neverending Story' in a fable!!!
That sucks. Gmork dies much too easily. It's understandable given the technology of the time, as staging a well-choreographed fight scene would be difficult, but damn, a lion would have been a harder opponent for the kid. Hell, even a Rottweiler would have put up a fight.
Yeah the fight (if you call it a fight) was hardly intense. If they wanted Gmork to die quickly, they should of kept the original plot of the book and have him choke to death from laughing and from starvation.
Yeah. I'll put it down to Gmork really wanting to die by leaping into the jagged rock (or whatever it is) on purpose. That makes it seem better and less ridiculous and makes the Gmork not seem like such a pussy.
Gmork caused me to be afraid of wolves, a fear I still carry to this day. What a joy after this character gave me the fear that I saw Pet Sematary 2, which cemented nightmares in my head for years and made me afraid of the dark until I was 16.
I want to be a writer/director someday and if I get lucky to get into the business I wnat to bring back the classical things like puppets and stop-motion (CGI sucks in my opinion). Films like this, King Kong, The Dark Crystal, and the monsters in the movies Ray Harryhausen worked with serve as a huge inspiration for me. One idea I wanted to try was bringing the Norse myths into a movie. Looking at the Gmork I think the giant wolf named Fenrir that is mentioned in them could work out.
Wow man I thought I was the only one. My big inspiration is Ray Harryhausen. I'm 17 btw, will be 18 in a couple days. I'm pretty good at writing screen plays and whatnot. Maybe, just maybe if we both got lucky we could work together and make some movies the way they should be. Agreed I hate CGI. I love the original Clash of the Titans, Jason vs. The argonauts, Sinbad movies and more. This NES remake is going to be terrible. It'll be filled with CGI I bet.
Wow it's like I'm looking in a mirror of myself for age and opinions. Good luck with that goal. Hollywood needs new talent and young minds tend to have more imagination and appreciation for the old effects I think. Together they make films like this. The only CGI I don't mind is in stuff liek Jurassic Park, Tron, and Lord of the Rings but apart from that I'm usually not impressed. But with puppets and stop-motion I'm always interested and sometimes left wondering how they did certain things.
The appearance of the most badass wolf in movies lasted less than 5 minutes.. because one of the Hanson brothers had to stab him with a stone just to make sense of the Neverending Story ending..
And that's all we got to see of him, five miserable minutes.. Curse that animal abuser kid.

no kidding! Ever since watching this, even now, I still have the feeling like somewhere out there I am getting pursued by something as creepy as this!
G'mork is an awesome character. First time I saw this was in my early childhood, he scared me to death. Even now, as an adult, he gives me the creeps. Whenever I watch this movie, no matter the time of day, when night comes I swear that if I look down a dark hallway, G'mork's green eyes and big teeth will be there... seriously creepy...
Scary as he is, though, he does speak a deep truth: mankind in general seems to be losing its dreams and hopes, and that goes, so will everything else.
I agree. Gmork sure made quite the impression. Just like the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow. I'll never forget Gmork's appearance until the day I pass away!
I was reminded of Gmork yesterday, and last night when I was letting my dog out I imagined his green eyes everywhere in the dark, staring at me D: When my dog came back in, I locked the door and ran up the stairs and closed myself in my room X'D
@gloverboy21 I didn't even hear of the first one, so I took a look at it... and it's really hard to decide between the two now. Both are disturbing XD
atreyus living proof that sometimes bravery and stupidity walk hand in hand with only the results defining them, coz to be honest that scuffle couldve gone either way. i remember watchin this for the 1st time wen i was little and Gmork scared the living CRAP out of me, and to this day he still sends chills down my spine whenever i hear that evil growl. if that were me i would have tried to keep him talking long enough for the nothing to get me! (coz lets face it villains just LOVE to monologue)
Yeah, but sadly Gmork had the misfortune of being a wolf, and we all know wolves have a habit of jumping onto sharp pointy objects in the hero's hands - same thing happened in Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe with Peter, he had a sword, the wolf jumped him and got skewered. :);;
No disrespect to Gmork, he's badass, I'm a NES fan as much as the next one. =D
I'd take my chances with the Nothing rather than stay another second in that room with him! At least the death would be quicker and less scary. CGI just can't compare with this.
it seems like everywhere you go, whoever you ask gmork just has this freakishness about him that scares people.. he kinda reminds me of the wolves in new moon
God..this still gives me goosebumps when i watch this scene and im 23 now man i miss the old days

•Your love of challenging concepts of others invariably leads you to create your own ideas & to pioneer new lines of thought.

Individualism vs Collectivism. That's what you should be seeing things as. All beings have a right to share their opinions. People can always choose their master. I suppose you just don't understand the purpose of organized religion....or perhaps you are a Nihilist yourself in all but name?

@LoneIndividual Nihilist? Far from it, I reject the notion that people's subjective perspective= only reality we know of. I'm agnostic, and tend to look at things from a scientific, Kantian perspective (not to say Kant was scientific, but his ideas do fit well into what we understand about the human mind).False religion? There's no such thing as "true" religion... because no religion on earth has any proof other than the conviction of their followers ( ancient texts and clerical interpretation)

False Religion is Entertainment...sex, drugs, music, violence...power. Experiences for the sake of Entertainment rather than Learning. True Religion is more rational and encourages liberation from these things that bind the individual unto someone else other than God (or w/e the higher authority is)
.
You focus on the agenda of establishments rather than the the desires of the individual. True Religion springs up from the heart of men. You should study Don Quixote. cont..

@LoneIndividual Believe me, I was raised as a Christian Scientist, I know what the metaphysical, puritanical beliefs concerning "True" knowledge and life experiences are as opposed to what spiritualists designate as being "distractions". I think this movie does in fact touch upon what you're saying a lot, but the author meant it in a more secular, fantasy sense (not alluding his work to transcendentalist religious thought).
I have read Don Quixote, it was a good read though extremely long.

Ok, it seems there if a little confusion going on here. You position is that you believe that there is no truth except what we "perceived"...that's hilarious, I'm sure we could spend hours of debate on that particular issue, but of course the issue of Moral Relativity is of a more pressing concern.
I'm a rigid pragmatist. I view the world through a pretty big lens regardless of this. However, as I understand it, looking at the world through kaleidoscope glasses is contradictory cont

cont to universalism. There is a universal truth, the only issue with the world today, is that people simple want different things. Depending on what you want (your aspirations...your ultimate purpose) you utilize a certain set of tools (methods). There is no "Do w/e and get what THAT GUY is getting" philosophy that consistently works for an entire lifetime w/ no adverse effects. Communists promote this philosophy (even though privately they ridicule it). cont...

Doubt you've read Don Quixote at all (it is rather long though I agree) much less scrutinized it (I'm still in the process myself). In regards to spiritualist and their interpretation of "distractions" , I think that the Mormons interpretation in their parable "The Tree of Life" is my favorite. It's simple and straight forward and warns against real threats that cause "everlasting" bondage/destruction...assuming the motive is The Individual/Family and their "Eternal Progression".

@LoneIndividual You're telling me I've never read something and also puffing yourself up intellectually over youtube? Not the sign of an secure person.
I NEVER said truth is all about perception, you're ranting on and on over things I've never explicity said (only what you assume I'm getting at).
Please don't support your argument using this New Age/Philosophy, you're talking about things that no human could ever know for certain (even such minds as Einstein). I've heard these arguments before.

You should actually study Nihilism and Particle Theory together You'd find some interesting "religion" in Science. And if you go the way of Einstein...and become a Collectivist, then you turn Humanity into God and thus destroy the Individual in the process. Or you destroy everthing...like KEFKA PALAZZO (based upon Frans Kafka/Nietzsche).

PS: I looked at the world simply as it was for my true religion. I didn't "objectify" what I was looking at (Particle Theory). Though I delight in the mundane...I love the bigger picture, which is a fluid mosaic (Wave Theory).
I combined the two theories (as Einstein did) and concluded that the Soul only exists in the motion of making decisions and consciously acting upon them.. As a man thinketh so is he! Also...I reference Schrodinger's Cat and the Uncertainty Principle. respond

This movie really unlike most lights up the cerebral cortex, "Gmork" explains 'The Nothing' and being as it relates to human life in our existent world, it is true to that effect in that our world in our busy hustle and bustle, with hardly time to relax, let alone still drive ourselves to achieving great things, which begin with hope, dreams and motivation. Usually nothing more.
It's even more true today, it almost sounds like something Chomsky would say if he wrote a children's book, lol.

What seems to be missing in the message of this encounter between Gmork and Atreyu is the dialogue of Gmork that represents the server of the power behind the NOTHING to destroy the hope of Mankinds boundless dreams of saving Fantasia...Versus the symbol of saving the hopes of mankinds dreams of Fantasia,by the child star Atreyu~its the meaning behind the story of 'The Neverending Story' in a fable!!!

That sucks. Gmork dies much too easily. It's understandable given the technology of the time, as staging a well-choreographed fight scene would be difficult, but damn, a lion would have been a harder opponent for the kid. Hell, even a Rottweiler would have put up a fight.

Yeah the fight (if you call it a fight) was hardly intense. If they wanted Gmork to die quickly, they should of kept the original plot of the book and have him choke to death from laughing and from starvation.

@summerbrezz74
Yeah. I'll put it down to Gmork really wanting to die by leaping into the jagged rock (or whatever it is) on purpose. That makes it seem better and less ridiculous and makes the Gmork not seem like such a pussy.

Gmork caused me to be afraid of wolves, a fear I still carry to this day. What a joy after this character gave me the fear that I saw Pet Sematary 2, which cemented nightmares in my head for years and made me afraid of the dark until I was 16.

I want to be a writer/director someday and if I get lucky to get into the business I wnat to bring back the classical things like puppets and stop-motion (CGI sucks in my opinion). Films like this, King Kong, The Dark Crystal, and the monsters in the movies Ray Harryhausen worked with serve as a huge inspiration for me. One idea I wanted to try was bringing the Norse myths into a movie. Looking at the Gmork I think the giant wolf named Fenrir that is mentioned in them could work out.

Wow man I thought I was the only one. My big inspiration is Ray Harryhausen. I'm 17 btw, will be 18 in a couple days. I'm pretty good at writing screen plays and whatnot. Maybe, just maybe if we both got lucky we could work together and make some movies the way they should be. Agreed I hate CGI. I love the original Clash of the Titans, Jason vs. The argonauts, Sinbad movies and more. This NES remake is going to be terrible. It'll be filled with CGI I bet.
NIN992 1 year ago
Wow it's like I'm looking in a mirror of myself for age and opinions. Good luck with that goal. Hollywood needs new talent and young minds tend to have more imagination and appreciation for the old effects I think. Together they make films like this. The only CGI I don't mind is in stuff liek Jurassic Park, Tron, and Lord of the Rings but apart from that I'm usually not impressed. But with puppets and stop-motion I'm always interested and sometimes left wondering how they did certain things.

G'mork is an awesome character. First time I saw this was in my early childhood, he scared me to death. Even now, as an adult, he gives me the creeps. Whenever I watch this movie, no matter the time of day, when night comes I swear that if I look down a dark hallway, G'mork's green eyes and big teeth will be there... seriously creepy...
Scary as he is, though, he does speak a deep truth: mankind in general seems to be losing its dreams and hopes, and that goes, so will everything else.
