Yesterday, Peter Pan was on TV again... You know the 2003 movie?
Anyhow, I've watched it before, but I had never knew I loved it so much. It wasn't a story I had only my mind often, unlike the famous Cinderella, Sleep Beauty and Snow White and other Disney Princesses, but boy I do love Peter Pan.Actually, I'm not a big fan of the storyline, because I don't like Tinkerbell very much, I'm scared of crocodiles and Captain Hook scares me. Furthermore, I don't really like the cartoon and I've never read the book, but I looove the film so much! Okay, maybe partly because I love the child actor who played Peter - Jeremy Sumpter - but still...
| Neverland~ |
When I was younger, like all children, I couldn't wait to grow up... However, as all teenagers feel, now that I'm old, I wish I never grew up. The phrase, 'Ignorance is a bliss' is really true. I have a simple mind for simple things, but the corruption in the world is too much for me to handle. I wish Neverland was real, so I can stay simple-minded and pure for always. To live in a place where plants are always green and there are no horrible, modern buildings would be so wonderful. Not only that, but to be able to have fun with other children who are so innocent would be amazing... All day, fun would be the first priority.
That is another reason why I don't understand why Wendy wanted to return to her nursery so badly. However, what I hated most was that she left Peter all on his own... She even took the Lost Boys with her back home... After Peter had defeated Captain Hook, there would not even be a person for Peter to fight with. How alone he would be after the film had ended his story.
The thing that broke my childish heart was that Wendy got married! Wendy and Peter were supposed to be together forever! Even if they were not together as lovers, just to be each other's company as best friends in Neverland would complete my childish wish. Peter was so broken-hearted when he returned to Wendy and she had grown up with a husband and a daughter...
Why couldn't they end up happily ever after in Neverland? Why did it have to end with "Wendy was never to see Peter again,"?? Also, in the film when Peter was looking at the reunited family from the window, he said "To live would be an awfully big adventure." Didn't that mean that he wanted to live a live like their's too? It must have seemed so different to the live he's lived, so why didn't Wendy invite him to stay, rather than bid their farewells? >=( It's so sad...
