Peter Pan / Re: Favourite Peter Pan film ..?
« on: January 15, 2009, 01:57:58 PM »
I agree the 2003 version is very Barrie-less which is a shame but i suppose they are just trying to get a film out to a mass audience i suppose - at whatever cost even if it is the voice of Barrie!!

I wasnt fussed on Hook flying either but i loooooove the love story and the fairy dance and utterly hearted the "i do believe in fairies" sequence i thought that was soooo sweet!!

Peter Pan / Favourite Peter Pan film ..?
« on: January 11, 2009, 08:01:48 PM »
Hook?
Peter Pan (Disney)?
Peter Pan (2003) Live action
Finding Neverland?

I personally have a little soft spot for the 2003 version as it follows the book so closely plus i think Jeremy Sumpter does a wonderful job of being Peter!!! I remember going to the cinema to see that film at Christmas and feeling all lovely and happy afterwards.

Cheers Barrie.

Peter Pan / Re: the hidden kiss.....

I felt it was an attack on 'mothers' or an example of a mother witholding something as she isnt portrayed very nicely in the book - we all know Barrie had issues with mothers etc

I felt it was slightly odd that Peter looks like her kiss - that she wont give her kiss to her husband or children and that its a 'sweet mocking mouth' etc and that the kiss stopped her saying anything bad about Peter

I could - of course - be very wrong, would love to know what other people think :)

I have just done Peter Pan at University on Children's Literature and based an essay on the book - so forgive me for knowing each line of it hahah i had to close read it very carefully and was very surprised at the morbid themes surrounding Peter but it was very entertaining and i loved it!
