However, while sighing and silently yearning for them, we still will not change the choice of growing up - if there was a choice. Except for Peter, we'd all choose to go back to Earth, not to stay in Neverland. Never was a long time, Wendy said. Is it instinctive self-knowledge, knowing that we can't stand the test of eternity, and eternal worry only brings us eternal forgetting. Forget these ties, who are we? In order to prove our existence, we dare not be reluctant to give up the fetters of life, and would rather choose to grow up. And growing up is the commitment to these fetters. Because my mother doesn't wait at the window, and because my father's troublesome management has paid off. There are many kinds of bravery, as my mother said at the beginning of the movie. And giving up the worry-free childhood wonderland and tethering it to the depths of the drawer may be the most forbidding and difficult courage.
Freedom has an unattainable price. We comforted our abandonment with "brave" - the souls that are no longer free and the Neverland that can no longer fly, yes, we are imprisoned on the ground and can no longer fly, but we do it voluntarily. In the face of the price of freedom and the realm of independence from the world, we are honest and safe. Peter is free, the only one free, though his price is not as high. He longed for love, he even got it, and in the end he gave it up, because the love that kept him alive was the price of his eternal freedom.
Love is tethering. Those responsibilities, those other worries that had to be given up, those growing up had to take on, the fake and boring adult world that Peter didn't want to face, came out of love.
In fact, Peter's freedom, to what extent is not escape, as Wendy said. He let everyone go, he stayed on Neverland stubbornly, and what bound him was the only freedom he had. He is reluctant to face a world where he is no longer free, needs to pay, needs to grit his teeth and take responsibility, and he is always just a boy who runs away. You can avoid paying, but without paying, there is no emotional commitment.
So, how can Peter be free? His promise of "will not forget", doesn't it represent the long-term concern? He doesn't have to leave Neverland, just forgetting in the eternal dimension and worrying about the present, the two can only be selected. There are eternal coordinates, and what will not fade away, Wendy is fleeting, and the dream is still too late. Don't forget Wendy, then what's the point of forever, forever freedom is just forever separation. Even if Peter smiled and promised to come back and listen to the story, if he came back every year, what could prove his freedom? (And if he didn't grow up, how could he drink the potion peacefully? Since he had to drink the potion, where would he be free?)
The little prince was always a child, but returned to B-412 for his duty to the rose. Peter Also always a child, but returned to Neverland to hold fast to freedom. Haven't they grown up? One gave up the "surface" life of the body, and the other gave up the love that made him yearn to resurrect him, isn't it worth the price of growth?
Every child grows up, with no exceptions. Peter's last smile, how much freedom is there, and how much is helpless?
It's just that we are not reconciled, and we are always reluctant to give up when we get it, so we created the little prince and Peter Pan, because they are so determined when they choose and believe; we can't give up everything, we can only look at the stars at night and think about their lives. Absolutely and always comfort myself, while bowing my head and continuing to live an adult, trivial life full of ordinary troubles, but also ordinary love.
Only occasionally, will smile, and pretend to say firmly, I believe in faries, I do I do.
