Review of Finding Neverland (2004) by Steve D — 20 May 2014

'Inspiration and Belief is the source for great works', 2004's 'Finding Neverland' an autobiography of a great playwright J.M Barrie who rose to fame with his well known play 'Peter Pan', well, the story behind creating this great play is somewhat like a fairy tale.

Barrie who was an average playwright faced continuous failure in his play, his drama didn't contained those wow things, but once he coincidentally meets a family of a widow women Sylvia with her four boys, he gradually become close to them and tries to bring some life to that family by inspiring them with his concept of thinking different and imagination, the boy by the name Peter become bit more close to Barrie and always wished his company, initially Barrie too get some inspiration from that small family to create the character Peter Pan, but his good friendship with that family is misunderstood by Barrie's wife and Sylvia's mother, but he never bother them and continue his good relationship with that family, his new play 'Peter Pan' becomes a huge success and he gets enormous popularity, well this is the simple storyline of this movie.

Johnny Depp had done a brilliant job as J.M Barrie he actually takes you into an imaginary world and Kate Winslet is good with her acting, the thing that gain your attention is the presentation of that movie onscreen, it's very fine and neat, the scene where Barrie invites the orphan children to his play and make them to sit in the various seats between the elder audience, this one particular idea becomes his strategy to success, because the children's reaction to the scene make those elder audience to actually enjoy that play and make them to look in the view point as a child, it's an overall amusing movie.
