unhappy fairy tale

After reading it, I don't think it's a happy fairy tale. It seems that I have grown up too...

When I watched it, my first reaction was that there were too many elements, but many of the plot settings showed some of the times (Indians, women...), and I didn't like the episode of Mermaid Island very much. On the other hand, I also saw some innocent and cruel, heroic and cheerful little hero Peter Pan, maybe not a comfortable partner for Xiner and Wendy. Regarding the definition of intimacy, the film does not Unambiguous but straightforward description. (Intimacy and love cannot be excluded from 'innocence', which seems to be contrary to the general understanding in China, which is very interesting...) However, maybe I should watch this beautiful and funny story with the feeling of reading a fairy tale. The sentence was actually delivered by the far-right stodgy Dad George: I feel so familiar with this ship, as if I was a child...

(The last shot is also very interesting. The left and right switching shots are of Peter Pan's magic pirate ship sailing in the clouds and Wendy, who has grown up, snuggling with her family. It's hard not to think of the relationship between the other side and this side. Be a Arrogant speculation, Peter Pan walks between the real world and the spiritual world, so why not the creator... But what the director conveyed is whether he wants to stay in the Utopia, or to sail the pirate ship between reality and nothingness , or do you think it should stay in that warm window in the end?... Anyway, the last look at each other is really the finishing touch)

Maybe the ps. three islands of ps have any meaning? let me think again…

Peter Pan quotes

  • [Wendy has walked the plank, and Peter saves her]

    Mr. Starkey: No splash, Captain.

    Captain Hook: So, you want a splash, Mr Starkey? I'll give you a splash!

    [Hook throws Mr Starkey overboard]

    Captain Hook: Who's next?

    Peter Pan: You're next, Hook! This time you've gone too far!

  • Mr. Smee: Oh, dear, dear, dear, Captain Hook. Shooting a man in the middle of his cadenza? That ain't good form, you know.

    Captain Hook: "Good form," Mr. Smee?

    [suddenly yelling]

    Captain Hook: Blast good form!

    [waves his hook in front of Smee]

    Captain Hook: Did Pan show good form when he did *this* to me?

    Mr. Smee: Why, Captain, cutting your hand off was only a childish prank, you might say.

    Captain Hook: Aye, but throwing it to that crocodile! That cursed beast liked the taste of me so well he's followed me ever since, licking his chops for the rest of me.

    Mr. Smee: And he would've had you by now, Captain, if he hadn't swallowed that alarm clock. But now, when he's about, he'd warn you, as you might say, with his tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
