"Finding Neverland" is a fairy tale in the hearts of many people

To be honest, after watching the film, I would be surprised, even deceived. In my opinion, such a bland film has not only been nominated for multiple Oscars, but also given a high score of 8.2 on IMDB. It seems that the fairy tales of Peter Pan and Neverland have a very high status in the eyes of Westerners.

I didn't know much about this story before, and of course I wouldn't have a special feeling for this "Finding Neverland", but I can imagine how many people will be moved by it, because in their eyes, this film has not only Just a biopic, a prequel to a fairy tale, and like the Peter Pan story represents their childhood dream, a fairy tale that will forever live in their hearts, even if it never comes true!

From this, I think of another film - "Becoming Jane Austen", which is also a biopic like "Looking for Neverland", but one is a famous book, the other is a fairy tale; one is British and the other is American. However, if you like "Pride and Prejudice", you will not think that "Becoming Jane Austen" is also an ordinary biopic or emotional film, but will be deeply integrated into it and be deeply touched by the real and delicate emotions in the film. I am moved, and I am also revisiting the moving of "Pride and Prejudice".
