THE PAGEMASTER Clip - "The End" (1994) Macauley Culkin

[@lanceplaxton6967]

I honestly don’t care what critics say, this movie is a family favorite with me.

[@vipersuphere]

critics hate this movie because pro analysis in a commercial sense means saying any movie worth it’s salt is terrible, and it has good music? yeah definitely will be ripped on by critics

[@KristinHBergenstein]

It is also a great way to get kids to read some of the classics.

[@OpinionParade]

This movie has a strange energy to it. Very captivating. It felt like a much longer movie when I was a kid, but now it feels too short.

[@RiverSprite30]

I have a couple of theories about that. We see a lot of horror and a lot of adventure. But when they first enter the fantasy section, they don't show a lot. We see mother goose and Humpty Dumpty, and the dragon. But I feel that section had a lot of potential that was either edited out at the last minute or changed because of something else. Most movies are cut for time or content. "Look, it's Mother Goose!" "Hey guuurrrrlll!' Love that line. Hahaha.

[@BillyButcher90]

They could've shown what story the dragon was from instead of it just being some random being in the fantasy section.

[@thomasduffmcgready-zb3yt]

Same with me. No waite I'm still a kid at heart. It does have a strange energy but a classic. And it definitely could have been on longer. MaCauley Kevin Home Alone Culkin is one great young brilliant fantastic very good Actor. He becomes the Characters he plays in all films he is in and he dosnt waste no time. I mean just look at what he did to those poor Wet Bandits. If you want a full proof home security system just call Kevin to get full instructions and everything you need to keep out those Wet Bandits. Christopher Loyed I'm a great fan of from when I first seen him in the old television classic series TAXI. Page Master is and always will be a real true classic film. I was also hoping to see where the Dragon came from. Look at the year this film was out and think now with all the brilliant great fantastic Computer CGI Special effects graffics up to date in 3 D. If this was made with all of that and a very young Boy look alike for Young MaC. It would be a smash hit.

[@abloogywoogywoo]

There was about 10-12 minutes of deleted scenes, and the sword, a metaphorical representation of courage, driving away the chasing dragon at the end (why did they remove that scene why why why).

[@Mrstealth93]

This part of the movie, inside the tower, has always felt like such a magical moment to me. The long journey, filled with danger and fear, has come to an end. And what the Pagemaster says is true, what good would a book be if you just skipped straight to the ending? You`d miss out on so much, characters, what they go through throughout the story and all the emotions that there is to experience. I think that might be what has made me love reading books so much. Be it both fantasy or books based on historic events.

What fun and excitement and maturity would he have had if he just ended up at the ending?

A moral story, for the young to learn and adults to laugh and remember.

[@ner0angel0]

or be careful of the weather and stay away from libraries. aside from that, the pagemaster was a A-hole, probably was bored the entire time and wanted to mess with someone and luckily 1 kid shows up that could go missing while nobody else was in that library "exit is somewhere around here but you gotta do three things before that and you might also die so get to it". wonder what would happen if he failed any of them.

​@@JoeManzaI don't think so. The 'villains' including the dragon were simply giving Richard a secret test of character to see if he faced his own fears. When Richard 'defeated' Long John Silver, the latter surrendering in agreement foreshadowed that he was merely helping Richard to prove he was courageous.

a good moral of this story~what is life worth living if you automatically arrive at the end of the book. Life is an adventure, life is horror and life is filled with fantasy and magic. In life is the path of a journey and in the pages of that journey contains bravery/courage, love, loyalty, wisdom, horror….all the genres of a story hence the Pagemaster with what he says 😌 📚

One of the absolute BEST movies I have watched in my entire life! 💙💙

[@Xudmud]

A few points of continuity that implies that Richard's adventure wasn't "just a dream"... At the start of the movie when he first slips on the floor, he was wearing his yellow jacket. Here, at the end, it's nowhere to be found (he shucked it off after the green paint had dripped on it). The obvious one: Adventure, Fantasy, and Horror fall down with him and are still lying next to him when he wakes up. His library card is in very rough shape. Considering he'd gotten it relatively recently, that really shouldn't be possible. And one that's probably just a slight oversight, but I'm still counting it: his body is positioned so his head is about 2 to 3 degrees closer to N on the compass than when he first slipped.

I just noticed something. All these three characters are highlighted and congratulating Richard, and this movie makes them look like they're the main characters....but none of them are the main characters in their stories. The main protagonist in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was Gabriel John Utterson. The main protagonist in "Moby Dick" was Ishmael. The main protagonist in "Treasure Island" was Jim Hawkins.

[@luizfelipebarretomusiello6158]

True.

[@Xudmud]

Well, the movie does portray them as "main characters" but does a good job during their respective scenes of portraying them as antagonists, but not necessarily protagonists. It makes it that much more powerful when said antagonists then congratulate Richard for overcoming his fears after meeting them.

a cynical mind would say the pagemaster endangered a young child, but that ignores the entire journey and the growth he had on his way to accomplish a goal. as another wise figure once said "Wisdom is never granted, it must be EARNED. sometimes at a cost" for Richard his adventure and the dangers he faced helped him to build up his courage so that he can return to the real world inspired to be better, such is the power of storytelling, be it a book, a game, or from word of mouth, a story can inspire one to be the best version of themselves. had the pagemaster brought him to the exit, Richard would still be the same as he was when the adventure started, he would have gained nothing to bring back with him to reality

I'm gonna tell you guys a story about a bad movie experience I had and how James Horner's music helped me through the ordeal and get untraumatized. I had a traumatic movie experience with 4 movies. The first movie was The Stepfather (2009), the trailer traumatized me cause I thought Amber Heard's character was gonna die but when I watched the movie she didn't. Then it was Hostel Part II the part where Bijou Phillips' character was tortured, then Us (2019) the Tyler's deaths scene and finally It Came From The Desert the swimsuit striptease scene. As a result of watching these 4 movies I was afraid to watch new movies but then I mustered the courage to watch Watership Down and to my surprise it didn't traumatize me like the four movies did and my confidence was restored. Then one fateful night I had a nightmare with Us. After I woke up I became obsessed with Us and I wanted to watch it again and I was thinking about it, I imagined James Horner's music in my head and so I rewatched the four movies and conquered my fears. After this I was no longer traumatized by the four movies.
