The word growing up has too many meanings. It means forgetting the past, it means taking responsibility, and it means that you can never be that willful and carefree child again. When you have to take advantage of your family responsibilities, when you have to give up your dreams, your childhood memories, when you finally understand that the meaning of growing up is to give up, you will find the benefits of being a child.
It is precisely because of the hardships of growing up that Peter Pan is even more reluctant to grow up. He would rather not have the happiness that he can have when he grows up, he is only content with the present, with a carefree Childhood.
From this point of view, I think his vision is very shallow, he is afraid of losing what he has, and clings to the present, not knowing that there are better things waiting for him in the future.
For example, love?
Sometimes, love comes so suddenly. Unpredictable. Just like Peter Pan, the Peter Pan who suddenly descended on the floor-to-ceiling windows that day, Wendy was caught off guard.
She gave up her parents and reality because of her novelty. Came to Sansso Island. At first she must have been happy and amazed. But then gradually she discovered that the perfect Peter Pan in her eyes was just a playful child.
The love she once thought, or the Prince Charming who had dreamed countless times, was just a dream.
what is love
Because Peter Pan didn't know how to love, he couldn't understand Wendy's mind. He still remembered what he said, "Girls are too smart to fall out of a stroller."
In the process of his understanding of Wendy slowly , he also saw his heart, he will never know what love is, even if he has tasted the sweetness of love.
The world is beautiful because of love, and it is because of love that miracles happen. Love is already a power. But whatever, Peter Pan doesn't need much power.
He goes his own way, even if he doesn't love him, he still lives carefree and free. He never needs to grow up, there is no love pulling on his sleeves, no love dragging his trousers, no love whispering in his ear day and night, no love without regrets and no regrets by his side.
And Wendy, he has parents who love her, she has two brothers, she has her own ambitions and dreams, she is destined to embark on a different path from Peter Pan.
In the end, Peter Pan still sent Wendy and the others home, because he also understood that what they needed to face was society, reality, and their home.
Of course they have a home. And Peter Pan had no home, and he could never understand.
Children's love is always seen and divided, not to mention that love is worthless to Peter Pan.
He left willingly, even without Wendy, he still lived at ease.
But his visit was a wonderful memory of Wendy's life. Even if she has grown up, even if she has been unable to let go of all her worries and sadness, she is riding on the wind's back.
It is because of her growth that she has lost the right to be happy.
She never saw Peter Pan again.
This ending made me sad. Why didn't we see you again?
I assumed, one possibility is that Peter Pan really forgot about Wendy. But I think this is unlikely, because the opponent on the island is dead, and the friends are gone, even if there is no worry, he is very leisurely. Then, there will be more time to think, and Wendy will not be forgotten.
Although this is not a convincing statement, because there will always be a fool to fall out of the stroller...
There is also the idea that Peter Pan has seen Wendy, but Wendy can't see him.
There is a very old legend in China about Yin-Yang Eyes. Children generally have Yin-Yang Eyes. I mean children with aura. They can see things that adults can't see, and they can guess what it is.
So why is that? Because children have imaginations. When children grow up, they may wonder if what they saw when they were young is real, maybe it is real, or it may be the product of children's rich imagination.
Who knows? Who cares?
The important thing is that he laid the groundwork for what I'm about to say.
When Wendy was young, because of her rich imagination, she believed that there must be some wonderful and special things in this world, so she could see Peter Pan.
And Peter Pan happens to be the incarnation of a child.
We can notice that when Peter Pan shouted "I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!", in real life, the children who shouted with him in their sleep, and Wendy's family .
These children must also be children who believe in special things in order to feel his calling.
So, when Wendy grew up and lost this belief, even if she still remembered Peter Pan and still looked forward to Peter Pan coming back and flying into her window to talk to her, it was just a good wish.
While she was growing up, she had already embarked on a completely different path from the little girl who ventured with Peter Pan, flying into the future, leaving Peter Pan and Wendy where they were.
So when Peter Pan came to see her again, she might not be able to see him anymore.
Who exactly does time exist for? The purpose of this film is nothing more than to give the children who once also fantasized about Peter Pan flying into your window a crisp wind chime. Because people always have to realize that a dream is a dream after all.
It's like a nutcracker. The Nutcracker, which came out recently, was played by Elle Fanning, and I went to see it. Finally, NC came to reality and reunited with Marry. But is it possible? NC is a prince, will he abandon his kingdom?
Girls are always more affectionate than boys. However, love, after all, must succumb to reality.
