This is not Peter Pan

As for the movie "Peter Pan: A Dream Set Sail", I knew it was filming a long time ago, and I didn't expect to see the movie on October 23. I knew I would be disappointed. Going to the theater was just to prove my disappointment, but I didn't expect the disappointment and even anger. I know that it will definitely be changed beyond recognition, making the plot bizarre and exciting, in line with the characteristics of the movie, but it loses its essence. Although I had already thought of this, I didn't expect it to be so outrageous and beyond recognition.

The film completely deviates from the purpose of the original book. Changed Peter Pan's ideals and pursuits. I was annoyed as I watched it, and wanted to leave halfway, but I waited till the end. I kept watching because some of the pictures were pretty good, and the Peter Pan actor is really pretty and cute. More importantly, I didn't want to verify my disappointment after all. The scene that I have been looking forward to in my heart has not yet appeared, so I have been patient. I will pay a great price for a little bit of happiness, but this time until the end the scene I was waiting for never appeared.

The adaptation completely misunderstood the author's meaning. The little actor is beautiful and cute, but he is not playing Peter Pan. Those missions in the movie are not Peter Pan, and Peter Pan would not do such a thing. The mermaid in it is very charming, but there is no mermaid in the original book. The movie gives Peter Pan a so specific origin. He is a prince of an elf kingdom, on his shoulders to save the kingdom. The belief that has always supported him is his love and longing for his mother, and he must find his mother. In order to find the mother who promised to go to the tribe and save their destiny. Peter Pan becomes a hero, this is an inspirational film.

In the end I saw sadness from anger, because there was no Wendy in it. I went to the theater to see them meet and watch Peter Pan take her to the theater. I didn't leave when I was already annoying. I endured it for so long until the end, but there was no her in the movie, not at all. The novel has made me very sad, and the movie has made me very angry. Peter Pan can live without Wendy, but Wendy can't live without Peter Pan. At the end, it doesn't matter whether Wendy is or not, but Peter Pan is not in the movie. This little hero is not him at all.

Later, I learned that the movie was not adapted from "Peter Pan", but borrowed this story and gave Peter Pan a prequel. That's not okay, since it's the prequel of Peter Pan, it can't be adapted indiscriminately to make Peter Pan completely beyond recognition. Adaptation can change the plot of the story, but don't change the character. Even if there is a change in the plot, it should be changed to express the character of the character. It's okay to focus on exaggeration in certain aspects, but it is better not to reshape the character's image, turn one person into another person, and steal other people's names.

Peter Pan does not need a prequel, and even with him, there is no such prequel. He shouldn't have such a background, even a prince is not uncommon. Peter Pan doesn't care about his origins, he won't find his mother, he doesn't care about those things, let alone any kingdom, he won't save anything, he won't join any organization, and won't stay in one place for his subjects to enjoy the so-called Happy life. Such nonsense, I don't understand what Peter Pan is like. Many people have never seen the original work at all, don't know the existence of Peter Pan, and are used to watching superman Spider-Man and other heroes who save the world. Maybe they think this movie is not bad. Those who have read the original and know Peter Pan's thoughts will definitely think this is blasphemy.

I know that the film will focus on fighting pirates for the box office, but I didn't expect it to be changed like this. Mothers can take their children to the movie "Peter Pan", which was filmed for children. It can also satisfy some people's heroic complex. As a commercial film, the plot of the movie is quite attractive. The scene is magnificent, and some pictures can be described by the commonly used adjective—beautiful. Moonlight, starry sky, spaceship, and the world of elves are all very tempting. Attracted attention, but broke my heart.

In the world except China, the total box office has explained the problem, 75 million. The production cost is 150 million US dollars, and the box office adds up to less than half of the production cost. I planned to be sensational and please the mothers, but the Western mothers did not buy this set and failed miserably. In Japan, it also received a bad review, giving it 4.5 points on a 10-point scale. The Japanese still have dreams. They are all people who are nourished by anime. The Peter Pan in the original book seems so unmotivated by many people and does not meet the requirements of reality and inspiration. Chinese mothers would not like it. It’s so good, so inspirational, and ideal. He’s still a prince, saved their kingdom, inherited the throne, and lived happily with his subjects, because that’s his kingdom, and that’s his. home. Thanks to them they can think of such an outrageous thing. The film screenwriter Jason Fuchs was born in 86. This is the so-called pursuit and dream of their generation, which is in line with their outlook on life.

I have bought "Peter Pan" for about ten years and haven't watched it. Later, once I saw a book review and was attracted by some of the words in it, I found the book and read it. Today I recall the story of Peter Pan again, and I feel that besides the Little Mermaid, my favorite fairy tale character is Peter Pan. The fairy tale of the prince and princess that I have always liked is "Daughter of the Sea." I like the little mermaid, not because of the so-called virtues of consummation and sacrifice, let go of its virtues. Love does not need to be fulfilled. Wilde said: "All art is immoral. Because moving for moving is the purpose of art, and moving for action is the purpose of life." All I see is beauty. Moving. The little mermaid turned into a bubble when she saw the smile of her beloved prince in the clouds, she also let out a moving laugh.

"Among the children, Wendy is an interesting character. There seems to be a looming and inseparable feeling between her and Peter Pan. I think this is love. It is hazy and innocent. Love." Peter Pan has a short memory, and he always forgets it at any time. When he is immersed in his own world, or you will not appear in front of him for a while, he will forget you. But he said to Wendy: "Once you find that I don't remember you anymore, you just keep telling me that I am Wendy and I am Wendy, and I will remember it." The first time I saw it, I felt good. Sad, you can finally forget, but how can you forget it at any time? But now I like Peter Pan very much. Love is the echo of the soul. You don't need to remember it all the time, but you will always remember it. As long as you call, you will remember.

"These fairyland of non-cannibalistic fireworks reflects some people's unparalleled desire to escape from the world, and expresses their despair in the real world. Among them, Neverland is the ultimate. This place can not only escape reality, but also escape oneself. Escape from yourself as an adult." "Barry idealized his childhood life before the age of six, and finally turned it into a mysterious and moving symbol-Neverland. Whenever he encounters setbacks and obstacles in real life, Barry will Escape to this wonderland hidden deep in the soul." That book review said. I was always blamed for always escaping from reality, which made me feel a little vain. One day someone told me that the reality is so ugly, why can't it be avoided? There is nothing wrong with escaping to a better world. The joy of being recognized for the first time was indescribable.

I was always ridiculed by people for being naive, so I was very guilty. Then one day I finally secretly smirked as a compliment, even though others were still laughing at my naivety. Because what they think is naive, it is actually some very rare quality that most people have lost, or have never had such a beautiful thing. What they call maturity is nothing more than abandoning oneself and following the trend to gain secular success and enjoyment, which is a very practical so-called happiness. And what I have is a pure and beautiful mind, as well as a profound understanding and insights into things. There is a person in the movie that he often deceives people. This is growing up and growing up. The kind of maturity they call is a kind of depravity to me. Therefore, the ridicule of others is a compliment to me. Wilde said: When people agree with me, I always think I'm probably wrong.

People are really very different from people. Most people desperately pursue the so-called success in reality, fame, wealth, status, money, and desperate enjoyment to have a sense of existence. Some people have to find the value of their lives in the spiritual realm, in a world that is unrealistic to others, and should not even exist in order to find the hometown of their souls. If you can find static happiness in simplicity, then that's enough, no matter how crazy the world is.

I like Peter Pan so much, but this movie is so nonsense. If you want to make Peter Pan completely different, then don't borrow his name. Why use Peter Pan to win the box office? It's blasphemous. At the end, I don't want Wendy to appear in such a story, because it is not the Peter Pan in Wendy's heart at all, so she doesn't want to meet like that. They can only meet in their own world, at any time, beyond the constraints of time and space.

There are only two sentences in this movie that I remember deeply. The first sentence is from Peter Pan’s mother’s letter to him: “You are different, beyond your imagination.” The second sentence is that the princess of the tribe said to him: “If you are not the person they are looking for , Then you are yourself, that's enough." I think this is Peter Pan, nothing else is him. I am writing this article, not a film review for this movie, but because I miss my beloved Peter Pan.

    Shooting this fragment is a mistake, it's worth my madness in April

    The opening is not bad, it's interesting to beat people with five colors of smoke, the others are weak, don't ask too much for children's films, the soundtrack is also wonderful
