kat8chaJust watched Finding Neverland and I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes. (Not my cheeks though!) It's really a touching film and Johnny Depp does a very, very, good job as Barry. And the kids are wonderful. I didn't like Mrs. Dumary, the mother's mother, but she did have redeeming moments. Like at the end where she's trying to tell Barry that she approves of what he did and he doesn't speak her langauge. She's... unable to actually *compliment* him so she insults him instead. It's funny.
But there was this scene... Barry has the play done in the chldren's home for their mom and it gets to the 'clap your hands if you believe in fairies' and I was almost crying. When I was younger my freinds Molly and Christina and I would all get together and watch Peter Pan with Julie and I would bring it over or we'd watch it at my house (they both lived across the street.) And we'd always *always* clap at that part. I dunno why but... sometime later. I was older and watching it by myself, I think I was sick, and I didn't clap. On purpose. I wanted to see if it actually *mattered* or if it was just the film. And it was just... Seeing that scene in that movie. Touched me.
Whenever Molly, Christina or I acted out Peter Pan we'd fight for the good parts. Peter and Wendy, though Tiger Lily was a big favorite. But my personality type... I'm Peter Pan, I'm always willing to play and see the world like a child. I'm so jaded and worldly, but I know that I'm innocent inside. That I haven't seen half the hardships of the world. And I act like a kid, I act like a 3 year old. I choose not to have to act old. Not to deal with the ways the worldly teenagers act. I choose to be myself. And it's kinda funny watching that movie how true it is for *most* writers. We're children, we see the world as this big toy.
Also, one of the last lines Barry tells Peter that his mothers in every line of his imaginiation. And it's so true. In my original fics I have so many characters based off of freinds, and family. Always there in my mind in my hands and thoughts and words and deeds. Always there during play.
So yeah, I watched a sniffle flick and got philosophical. Sue me.
