Finding Neverland



It was an excellent film. It's slow, so you need to feel the movie rather than watch it. It's a story of belief, imagination and death. Takes a little while to get into, but it does end up being a really soothing story.

Watching this heps you understand how people uses different types of muses to invent new stories. It was interesting to see how he came up with the story of Peter Pan, and how he used orphans in the theatre to create the atmosphere that he desired to truely transcend his play to what he imagined it could do.

Johnny Depp is a fine actor, as with Kate Winslet. It's not the "fairytale" story you would be looking for if you were looking for something for your kids to watch, rather, it's much more adult. If you are curious as to what inspired James Matthew Barrie to write Peter Pan or how he did it, this is an excellent movie to watch. But remember, it is a little slow, so it's not for everyone.
