This is an adventure story from a girl's perspective, but the protagonist is a boy. What makes it stand out from many bedtime stories is precisely because of the creation of this classic character.
Watching this movie when I'm in my thirties feels very different from ten years ago. What touched me was neither the melancholy puppy love between Pan and Wendy (the love in youth would inevitably end); nor the unwillingness to grow up (whether to remain young forever is not a multiple-choice question for us, just a fairy tale, And I don't think there is anything special about my childhood, which is worth remembering ten years later), but the feeling that he is always on the road.
There is a mental illness called Peter Pan Syndrome, which refers to the mentality that more and more people like to "pretend to be tender", act childishly, and long to return to the world of children when adults face the fierce competition and cruel confrontation in society. But if this mentality develops to an extreme, it will indulge in its own fantasies and refuse to grow up. In fact, this definition distorts the character. Peter Pan is not refusing to grow up, but refusing to live a step-by-step, walking dead life according to social expectations.
Go to school, find a stable job, earn money to buy a house, get married and have a legal sex life, have a child, send the child to a 985 or 211, retire to take care of the child and finally die of a cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction. Most people's lives do not have any thrilling emotional twists and turns or life encounters. Childhood, when you can express your thoughts without any responsibility, has become a chewing gum that some adults can comfort their boring life, chewing repeatedly in the dead of night, even if the chewing gum is already dull and tasteless, and it has become like a piece of rubber.
In fact, Peter Pan is like this. He has countless adventures every day, each of which is different; to many places, with joy or hope; to meet new friends, many years later, he may still remember or may have forgotten. . The only constant is that he will never waste a second for yesterday, whether that experience is sad or joyful, after all, there is a tomorrow full of possibilities waiting.
He would probably laugh if he knew that someone liked him because of his wayward ego personality or the hazy love in the story, and for that self-proclaimed Peter Pan fan or follower.
