Find Neverland

When I was a child, there were not many comic strips full of illustrations. I remember a set of Ultraman Ace, and a set of 3 foreign fairy tales that forgot the specific content, one of which was about Peter Pan. Just remember the story of a flying boy in green and a prosthetic hand with a prosthetic leg. Of course, when I was a child, I liked to watch fights, because I could only understand fights. When I was older, I could watch Grimm's Fairy Tales and learn about the truth, the good, the beautiful and so on.

When I got "Looking for Neverland", I watched it as a romance movie, but the more I watched it, the more inappropriate it became. Although the heroine didn't turn up until the very last moment, I always felt that those children were trying to steal the show. Then I found out that this film was adapted from the deeds of the original author of "Peter Pan", so I came to the conclusion that this is an inspirational + biographical film, which is completely different from what I imagined before.

I really like Johnny Depp, but I'm not used to seeing him play a normal person. He's still a pretty normal person. I didn't feel that way when I watched "The Faithful Traitor". Al and his two stubborn scenes were very cool to watch, and such an undercover police officer was not a normal character. Here, Johnny is smiling normally, talking normally, being serious, talking big things, it's really weird.

The little actor who played Peter was great, and ended up sitting on a park bench with Johnny, crying together. Seeing that cute little face with tears in her eyes is quite touching. The rest is nothing special, Dustin is just here to show his face and play.

Finding Neverland quotes

  • [last lines]

    Peter Llewelyn Davies: I can see her.

  • J.M. Barrie: I do apologize for interrupting.

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: Would you close the door, please?

    J.M. Barrie: Certainly.

    [he closes the door]

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: Sylvia has told me you have offered her the services of your household staff.

    J.M. Barrie: Well, not exactly.

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: That won't be necessary.

    J.M. Barrie: I'll leave that to Sylvia, of course.

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: You'll leave that to ME, Mr.Barrie. You see, I'm moving in here from now on.

    J.M. Barrie: You're moving in?

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: I'm going where I'm most needed. And I can certainly see to it that this house is managed without resorting to your charity.

    J.M. Barrie: It isn't charity, Mrs du Maurier. I was only trying to help, as a friend.

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: Have you no idea how much your friendship has already cost my daughter? Or are you really that selfish?

    J.M. Barrie: I beg your pardon?

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: Don't you see what a visit to the summer cottage of a married man does for a widow's future prospects? Sylvia needs to find someone. The boys need a father. And you are destroying any hope this family has of pulling itself together again.

    J.M. Barrie: I have only wanted good things for this family, Mrs du Maurier.

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: I'll look after them. You have your own family to concern yourself with.

    J.M. Barrie: What are you suggesting?

    Mrs. Emma du Maurier: I'm suggesting that you protect what you have, Mr.Barrie. That is percisely what I am doing.
