This film review starts with Peter Pan's death metaphor-
Peter Pan has always been considered a story of a child who does not want to grow up, symbolizing a childhood that never disappears. However, this story always has a tragic background. In the first sentence of the book, it says, "All children will grow up, except for one person." Finally Wendy and the lost boys left Neverland, while Peter Pan stayed in his childhood forever. The ending of the story symbolizes the unreality of this wish. Another common saying is that the death of JM Barry's brother David had a huge impact on him, so he created the fairy tale character Peter Pan to commemorate him and make him stay in his childhood forever. The connection between Peter Pan and death is also reflected in the original work. In the first chapter: "There are many bizarre legends about Peter Pan. For example, after the children died, he always accompanied them to the underworld, lest they were afraid. "And Peter flew back to his home in England one day, only to find that his parents had locked the window deeply, and another child appeared on the bed that originally belonged to him.
The death metaphor in the movie still exists-
the child being stolen in the orphanage implies death. Only one or two children disappeared at first, and the nuns told Pan that they were actually picked up by their parents. Mingmian’s story tells the audience that they were actually sold to pirates by nuns. But why did the nun only sell one or two before, but then suddenly sold all the children? Why does the orphanage where all the children disappeared can still operate normally at the end of the story? Why do the children seem to come back at the end of the story as if nothing happened? Why did the background of the story change to World War II, and even the London bombing when the children were stolen?
Because this is a death story.
In the eyes of children, death is strange. The disappearance of one or two children in the orphanage can be taken away by their parents, or even sold to pirates. The fact is that they died of illness in the orphanage, an extraordinary death. The adults just told others: "They were picked up by their parents." Then a bomb came down and destroyed the orphanage in the London bombing, and all the children died.
"Neverland is a dream, from which you never wake)". All subsequent stories are Peter Pan's death hallucinations. The arrival of pirates means death.
This metaphor was brought to the surface in the dialogue between Blackbeard and Pan at the beginning:
"Neverland is a dream, from which you never wake). Have you ever had it? A feeling, as if you are having a nightmare, like floating in a comfortable, quiet and dark deep sea, and you sink deeper and deeper. That is death." (I can't remember the lines after watching the movie but I probably mean it)
Never Death on the island is dreamy and weird. The pirates fired with colorful shells like color run. Human faces dissipated in the colorful smoke, but we would never see them dying. Blackbeard's entrance "wakey wakey" is consistent with the nun's line to wake up the children. This is the echo of the real memory in the dream world. Dreams are the reconstruction of reality. Perhaps the personality of Peter's fairy prince in the fictional world and the obsession with finding a mother are derived from the longing for mothers in reality. He subconsciously believed that his mother told him "you are special". He looked for his mother, but subconsciously understood that his mother was already dead.
Dreams are imaginative and absurd, surpassing common sense and common sense. The style of the entire Neverland (Neverland) is very dreamy, with pirate ships flying in the sky, rainbow-colored Indian tribes, big birds with colorful feathers and scary faces... I have to say the scene of this movie The design is not only magnificent, but also curious enough.
The transition from the real world to the illusory world is very emotional. The atmosphere at the beginning was realistic, the cold and pale orphanage during World War II, and the appearance of the pirate ship was the only anomaly in the real world of the London bombing. Then this singularity gradually spread in reality. Watching it bravely bravely escaped the rain of bullets by the wind and waves, and began to soar under the tracking of the aircraft, throwing off the fighter that had been chasing behind, crossing the troposphere to the stratosphere... this time your thinking I’m still stuck in reality, thinking that Nima should freeze to death. If it’s not freezing to death, it should also be hypoxic. Maybe it’s the same life support system settings as tardis... Then you see the pirate ship continue to soar, the earth Gravity began to fail, and Pan Fei got up. The disappearance of gravity in Pan's body and the comparison of the people sitting in the boat are the interweaving of reality and illusion.
Then Pan Fei flew and touched the halo of Saturn. The sense of control at this moment meant the arrival of the fantasy world. You realize that they have entered another worldview.
In a moment of suddenness, the ship began to descend quickly and landed in a sea of water. The sea was water droplets floating in the sky, with fish swimming in the water droplets. They passed through a tunnel. The tunnel with light at the end was a standard near-death illusion, symbolizing amniotic fluid, uterus and rebirth. Then they heard the singing in a daze, and it turned out... it was smells like teen spirit. I'm absolutely stunned at the movie theater. Following the singing of the valley, the crowd waved their fists in a standard rock concert stance. Then Blackbeard sang a song and came out! ! ! He wore a Victorian-style flamboyant costume, painted smoky makeup, with one-ear earrings, upper body armor and lower body wearing a giant lady's black gothic loli tutu skirt, and that coquettish red-leg socks, deep The voice sang lazily and silly:
"And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard; it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind......"
This is definitely the villain of the most weird, most beautiful and special bunker in the world! Rock concert Shakespeare’s Gothic mix-and-match style smells like teen spirit......
...... Well, I need to calm down...... The
entire Pirate Bay is described as a "nightmare", the illusory world does not accept Pan in a sweet and gentle manner. This is not difficult to understand in the panic of dying. Falling is a very, very common dream, and it is also the usual way for us to wake up from a dream. And because Neverland was a near-death dream that could not be awakened, when Pan fell, he floated.
Dream is such a thing, it can always reflect your subconscious. For example, if someone is chasing you after you are running, you are so nervous in your dream that you are going to be caught up, and you are telling yourself to run fast, I will not be caught up, but as long as you have a little subconscious mind and feel that you will If you are caught up, you will definitely be caught up. But if you believe that there is a door next to it, or the chaser suddenly wants to open a can of sardines, the dream will be what you want. Believe that it is the element that controls dreams.
Flying is an important characteristic that makes Peter Pan Peter Pan. In the original work, the key to Peter Pan's ability to fly is to "believe." The power of "belief" made flying, made a fairy, and made Neverland. In the original story, Peter Pan thought he was a bird, so he could fly, and when someone told him that you weren't a bird, he wouldn't be able to fly...until he believed he could fly again. Fairies have the same logic. The existence of fairies depends on the child's "believe (I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.)". This story is exactly how Peter went from entering the near-death dream to becoming the master of the dream. Peter began to say "I don't believe in bedtime stories", and later went to Wendy's house in Peter Pan's canon to listen to the strong contrast of bedtime stories, showing Peter's view of "fictional world" "Attitude changed.
In the original, "The difference between him and the other boys at such a time was that they knew it was make-believe; while to him make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make-believe that they had had their dinners." For others, truth is true, dreams are dreams, and believing in fairies is true and for Peter Pan, believing is true. Here the boundary between "fictional world" and "real" has disappeared. The key to controlling the fictional world is to "believe."
That's why Peter Pan was able to fly. At the end of the story, Peter Pan becomes the person who truly controls what we call the "dream" and at the same time his "real".
——Where is the boundary between reality and illusion? Is death the end? Are dreams really illusory? Why do you, as an adult, always feel that fairy does not exist in your subconscious? Does Santa Claus exist? Don’t fairy tales exist? Doesn't Peter Pan exist?
This is the sailing of dreams, the source of all magic and dreams, the kingdom of Pan and the fairy, the illusion is the truth itself (make-believe and true were exactly the same thing). When Pan came to your window and knocked you Window, do you want to go with him?
2. Peter Pan, Blackbeard, Captain Hook
In fact, in my understanding, the black beard is a person who is mentally unwilling to grow up, but inevitably gets old. Why does Blackbeard only need children to mine? On work, isn’t it that adults are more efficient? Why does Peter Pan only invite children to Never Island? Peter Pan is a somewhat scary story for me, symbolizing a lost childhood. A person who does not want to grow up has built a perfect ideal in his heart. You think you can live forever in this ideal, but how far is it forever? In the original version of Peter Pan's story, all the other children turned into adults and left Never Island. Only Peter Pan refused to grow up forever. Blackbeard is a person who indulged in perfect ideals but failed in the end. He didn't want to grow old, so he could only make himself young by mining elves. In this insistence, he turned his dream into a nightmare, and turned the Neverland into a gold mine for mining elves. ...I inevitably feel that Blackbeard is a metaphor for Peter Pan's possible future far, far, far, far. So when he saw Peter Pan, his feelings for him were very complicated. That's why he said to him "Never Island is a dream you can never wake up."
Captain Hook symbolizes an adult mentality. Although he grew up on Never Island, he does not believe in fairy tales and thinks entirely of an adult. He always wanted to return to the original world. This fundamental difference from Pan probably indicates that they will finally part ways.

Okay, the end of the misreading is here. I start to comment seriously + spit out...
I will give 100 points to the scene design and the music styling picture! I love flying pirate ships (although it reminds me of stardust); I love the huge water droplets floating in the sky, and the flocks of birds flying in the sky into the water droplets are schools of fish (though it reminds me of Doctor Who); I love pirates gathering together to drive Rock concert; love the pirate port and cable car in the sky; love the colorful aboriginal tribe; love the aboriginal jungle and sea of clouds.
I love Rooney Mara. She is so beautiful. I love her.
Love the black beard, a villain who is pretentious, socialite and drama queen. I have become a fan of Hugh Jackman... and the story of Blackbeard started to be very interesting. Hugh Jackman's performance gave Blackbeard a very rich layering. However, I was very, extremely, unhappy when I took the line. The Nazi mentality of this person who wanted to kill all the elves was finally attributed to the desire to prolong life and the sister ran away with the elven prince, so I hated them (you can also raise them in captivity?). The anxiety of running out of time is attributed to death if there is no fairy fan... The complex emotions towards Pan can probably be explained as the entanglement of facing the sister's son... The
feces-like plot line I give 0 points: the
director of the orphanage. Snacks selling kids line (what? Orphan in Fog?); Tiger Lily and Captain Hook's eyebrows (to tell the truth, you don’t call at all or don’t work hard); the selected children never want to refuse fate to face fate Line (the selected child is really old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, ah, do you think you are Harry Bobo...); the entire wizard's settings (the wizard is offline all the way in the early stage and the ability in the later stage is turned on all the way, why are you so awesome? Go)...
In short, it seems that these are all the main lines...
In fact, the whole story until Pan was discovered by the tribe chief until he was the selected child. The line of the selected child really started to unfold and the whole story began to fall into Unbearable clichés and fights...
but so what! I love eye candy so superficially! I'm cool┐(￣▽￣)┌
