Purely Joyful Movie!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Finding NeverlandThe feature endorses innocence in each frame, characters and emotion that is drawn out from genuinely moving writing and performance. The screenplay by David Magee may not be gripping or intriguing enough to invest in it but it surely is effective and has a soul in it. Marc Forster fails to create the anticipated impact that was already present in the script and misses a big window there. The feature scores majestically on performance where every supporting actor (Kate Winslet, Dustin Hoffman and the young cast) factors in, with equal input among the protagonist i.e. Johnny Depp. Finding Neverland has stellar performance, amazing background score and fine editing that favors on its side but lacks better execution and the crisp that everyone awaits throughout the course of it.

It shows us that never too late for an imagination. Stay be young not depend on ages and don't hurry to be the adults trying to lose the funny eager creativity wishing yourself had looking serious for surrounded.

The magic of the "Peter Pan universe" is something that most children experience at some time in their lives. The thrill of staying young forever, flying away to distant lands, and battling pirates is one that can easily capture the imagination of the young. "Finding Neverland" is the story of how James Barrie created that magical universe that has stood the test of time.For a basic plot summary, "Finding Neverland" sees struggling playwright James Barrie (Johnny Depp) introduced to Sylvia Davies (Kate Winslet), a widow with four young children, on a chance encounter at a local park. While forming a bond with Sylvia and especially her playful children, Barrie begins to realize the power of "play" and "imagination" and begins to incorporate those elements into a new play about a boy who never grows up.This film is very successful on two different levels:1. The backstory on Barrie/Davies is very interesting. I knew nothing about it going in, so I can't speak to the accuracy of all the events depicted, but it sure seems as if Barrie was truly inspired by the Davies children.2. For fans of the Peter Pan narrative, seeing the story come together bit by bit is a visual and emotional treat. It is kind of strange to think of the Pan story as anything but pure childhood escapism fiction, but this movie shows us how it was quite real to the actors, theater-goers, and producers of the day.Only helping matters is the solid acting by Depp and Winslet, who are both so "classically trained" in acting (I believe they have both done much theater) that their casting is perfect in this period piece.Overall, then, "Finding Neverland" is a fun, informative film for fans of the Peter Pan cannon. It will bring out your emotions, humor, and sense of history while viewing.

I'm honest I had prejudice against this movie: 1) I'm bored with Deep 2) making a movie about an author is the ground zero of a story: Barrie wrote « peter pan » : here's the story ! how he got his ideas is not a story ! But as Kate was in it, I forced myself to watch it. Unfortunately i just hold on a couple of minutes : Barrie is dangerously cheating his wife and that's not an attitude i like ! I have saw the kid in the awful « Spiderwick » and he is as bad as previously ! Kate is ill throughout the movie and there is nothing entertaining for me ! I push « forward » most of the time : i watched the opening of the play but it feels so weak to watch that in the movie that i just zap it to the end ! In conclusion, just prefer « hook » or Disney animation and you will find fun and magic about childhood ! As for me, i long to reach my 1000th review as i will stop to write about those bad movies and lose twice my time!!!
