      elf don't go

      From the premiere of "Peter Pan" in the movie, until "The End" was played on the screen, it was like someone who turned on the faucet and couldn't turn it off again, tears flowed wantonly on my face.
      Maybe it's the elf that has been protecting me.
      "When babies laugh for the first time, their laughter turns into thousands of shiny fragments that scatter around the world and turn into little elves. So every elf can fly and shine. , and each child will have his own guardian elf. And...

      Just believe, it will exist

      Finding Neverland preaches a belief that if you believe it exists. As long as you believe that there is Neverland in this world, then it exists; as long as Peter believes that his mother is still alive, then she lives in the space of Peter's imagination on every page. Death and poverty are not scary, what is scary is that the fire of hope in your heart is also extinguished. I believe, I believe that there is a spirit in this world, even if he is just that beam of light....

      Inspiration in real life

      Johnny Depp's micro-expression shows that he is not an ordinary actor.
      The beauty of Kate Winslet, the care of her children, men love women like that as wives.
      Peter's stubborn and inappropriate expressions show that he is a child who persists and does not give up his ideas for others.
      Mr. Barry's wife, a real woman, invited the family for socializing among the upper class. What Barry wants is child-like happiness, she only has fame and fortune in her eyes, and she can't stand...

      The neverland in my heart.

      Finding neverland.. Finding neverland. . Whether it is an English name or a Chinese name, it makes people feel that it is a beautiful, dreamy and happy story. Yes, it is indeed beautiful, dreamy and happy. Even though I watched the movie, I was already in tears. But I smiled when Peter and J finally hugged and cried.
      Some people say it's a tragedy but I don't think so. It is full of human warmth.
      Even if there is no happy love in the end.
      But it made everyone who watched the film...

      Where is Neverland in Finding Neverland? How far are you from those days of believing?

      I always felt that I didn't see it very clearly. This movie has no intense conflict and suspense, but I watched it all the way. Up to now, I still only have a little image of a few words, but in the end I want to cry.
          Regarding responsibility, Peter, the third of four brothers, has been a bit withdrawn and weird since his dad died, and later he told a writer Barry that the grown-ups lied to him and his mom told him that in a few weeks his dad would be Take him to go fishing, but the...

      Children who never grow up are the most beautiful fairy tales. The children in the movie are still grown up. It just completed a kind of realistic beauty, not reaching the height of fairy tales. Grass-green England is beautiful, that's...

    Movie plot

    The story begins in London in 1904. The often misunderstood playwright Barry ( played by Johnny Depp ) has a strange temperament and is as naughty as a child. Sometimes it even makes him feel like a mentally retarded, even though he is well dressed. He is an English gentleman. Perhaps because of his eccentric character, his wife left him and returned to Scotland. Barry, who stayed alone in London, felt the exhaustion of his creative...

    Evaluation action

    The main line of the film is Barry's conception process, and the side line is the spiritual closeness of the playwright and the injured child who has lost his father. In all this, there is the unfailing power of courage, growth, and love. The film’s handling of the feelings of the heroes and heroines is extremely gentle. It is not so much a love that attracts each other as a mutual understanding and support among people. In addition to...

    Movie quotes

    • J.M. Barrie: It seems to me that Peter's trying to grow up too fast. I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't hurt as deeply as children do when they... when they lose someone. I lost my older brother David when I was just Peter's age, and it nearly destroyed my mother.

      Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: James, I'm so sorry. Your poor mother. I can't imagine losing a child.

      J.M. Barrie: She didn't get out of bed for months, she wouldn't eat. I tried everything to make her happy but she only wanted David. So one day I dressed myself in David's clothing and I went to her.

      Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: You must have frightened her to death.

      J.M. Barrie: I think it was the first time she ever actually looked at me, and that was the end of the boy James. I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland.

      Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Where?

      J.M. Barrie: Neverland. It's a wonderful place... I've not spoken about this before to anyone- ever.

      Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What's it like, Neverland?

      J.M. Barrie: One day I'll take you there.

    • J.M. Barrie: You needn't steal my journal to get to know me, Mary.

      Mary Ansell Barrie: No. I suppose I could just go see the plays.

    • J.M. Barrie: Who amongst you is ready to tie your hopes and dreams to the sea?

      Michael Llewelyn Davies: I am!

      J.M. Barrie: Not finished yet.
