Movie Review: Finding Neverland

When I saw the movie Finding Neverland in Netflix. I was surprised by how the creator of Peter Pan was normal. I never knew about his life before. I love this movie. J.M. Barrie created the children’s novel Peter Pan by his real life situations. His characters were named by some real people he was close to. I didn’t know also that he was a playwright. His first play has failed, and was in trouble of failing again. This is about the life of J.M. Barrie. His last play (Peter Pan) was a huge success. Throughout his life he was a good husband to his wife, and a good father to his children. I never knew that he had skeptics who believed that Peter Pan was going to be a failure before the play. In fact it didn’t. The play was love by millions of fans when the actors first acted out in the theater. He once said that for Peter Pan to never grow up. Peter Pan has to believe that he will always be a boy and to never grow to an adult. This was Peter Pan’s magic wish. J.M. Barrie had a female friend who was sick who she had a son named Peter. Peter was Barrie’s inspiration that he gave the protagonist’s name of Peter, but Pan the last name was all made up all by the author. I give this movie a thumbs up!
