Neverland is happiness

Why look for Neverland? The British architecture in the film is already very spectacular, the forest pastoral is already intoxicating, the country house is like an oil painting, the ladies are dressed in gorgeous and charming or innocent, and the gentlemen are well-dressed and polite, which is already a more vulgar society today. A much more dreamy world. What do we want? It is impossible for the world to be free from life and death, and it is impossible to get rid of joys and sorrows. The dreamland, which is like an ideal country, seems to be getting farther and farther away from us as the times advance.

A dead mother is happy because she enjoys love before and behind her. Mrs. Barry, who is dressed in fine clothes and food, is not happy because her marriage is in vain. The difference between the widowed mother and Mrs Barry is four children. Widows with children are busy and tired but full of tenderness and childishness, and Mrs. Barry, who is surrounded by servants, is less feminine and gentle, no matter how beautiful she is. So Barry would rather go to the widow's house to find the vitality of life, the inspiration of creation and the touch of love, because at home, he can't imagine anything, and he can't write anything.

The pain of adults is that they are used to being adults and can never return to their innocence. Barry told the widowed mother's eldest son that in just 30 seconds, a child was gone. He grew up in an instant and understood the hardships of life, and the carefree days are gone forever. From now on, finding a little bit of happiness will be as difficult as finding Neverland.

    And I hoped, at least once...you would take me there with you./There's no such place./Yes, there is. Neverland. (I hate the so-called love between Barrie and Sylvia
