Shanti Leonard Author :
She turns, and breaks the forth wall, looks directly at you, and says “bastiOn” not the character “BastiAn”, but you, the bastion, the protector of dreams, the person that keeps the imagination alive, the world alive, by thinking, dreaming, creating. Bastian, the character, looks at you too, because this movie is the magic mirror gate, and he is you. And you think he can’t be talking about you, it’s just a movie. This isn’t real. You have to keep you feet on the ground. But you need to use your imagination. You need to believe. Dream. Walk through the mirror. Because her world is dying, and his is, and ours is, because it is all the same, and she is looking at you, pleading to not succumb to nothing. And I am pleading to you, yes you. “Bastion, why don’t you do what you dreamed, bastion, save us.”
