You're gonna have to fill me in here. I don't know this reference.
The horse the audience has grown attached to becomes depressed, and allows himself to sink slowly beneath the mud. The boy understands what is happening and that the depression is going to kill his friend. He pleads and panics as the horse very graphically sinks out of sight with an incredibly disturbing practical effect that must have been real life animal cruelty. Then the boy is left alone in the swap. It's a fucking brutal scene that symbolizes suicide.
No offence, but accusations like that add exactly nothing to the conversation if they're correct, and are a fucking shitty thing to do to a person if they're not. Unless you've got really solid receipts, and there's some important outcome that it would actually affect if true, just don't fucking do it.
To be fair, I assumed they cpy and pasted from an AI
But is that actually fair?
Oh, so this is your awkward way of asking? Then, no, it was not written by an LLM. This is what that would have looked like:
This thread got stupid fast.
I accept that your intent was not to offend (despite that, no offense, this reads like someone trying to get popped in the nose), but what your intent actually was escapes me.
yeah that's cause we're all autistic
THANK YOU
The Never Ending Story (1984)
What a young movie!
Seems like the horses story ended
The Neverending Story. That's the scene where Artax the horse gives up and let's the bog of depression drown him
Never ending story the horse is with the kid through thick and thin then gets stuck in a swamp and kid has to leave him behind.
Small clarification, he gets stuck in the swamp of despair basically. He only gets stuck and dies because he loses hope. Atreyu tries to cheer him up and give him hope, and it's that scene that's depressing AF. It's like something out of old yeller.
A scene from The Never Ending Story. They travel through the Swamp of Sadness.
