MOVIES : Finding Neverland
Unlike my parents I addored this film, maybe I was feeling sick, or for some other reason, but I was feeling emotional when I say this, and it effected me very strongly.
The film centers on a particular summer that Mr Barrie, the writer of Peter Pan, spent with a group of boys; the lost boys. The boys have recently lost their father and are all deeply effected by this, they've had to grow up to fast.
Johhny Depp plays Mr Barrie, who definitely has NOT had to grow up too fast, and tries to use his imagination and love of life to concile the boys. And that tis the message of the movie; no matter how mundane your life may appear, it is in fact the most miraculous and extrodinary thing that has and can ever happen, you just have to see it as such!
I wasn't impressed with portrayal of the relationship between Barrie and his wife, it just felt tacked on for the purposes of keeping it close to real life, rather than a real exploration of the relationship. Mum was saying that she thought that everyone spoke to softly, which I guess they did, but I prefer that to 'If in doubt, shout!'.
This is one of the movies of the year for me, thank you Johhny for inticing me to see it! (I try to see every Depp film because there always seems to be _something_ interesting about the production)
