Absolutely delightful

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2006)

Finally, finally, I saw this movie. I had taped it on my VCR a few months ago but was hesitant to watch what I call a "period picture". You know stories about the wealthy, spoiled class of folks in England during the last century. Yes, it was briefly about this class of people but only because they were in the audience of Barrie's wonderful plays. His relationship with the children made me jealous; I wish I could have been one of them. Johnny Depp (who I think is a fantastic actor)brought the character to life in a quiet, subtle manner which added to the charm of the movie. I'm usually a fan of movies that make me think and become angry at man's disregard for his fellow man at which time I want to rise up and say "Right on". However, this movie "charmed the angry beast" in me and gave me the feeling that "all's right with the world". At least, at that time and that place. Today, I still feel the warmth that emanated from the play "Peter Pan". If only we could enter that world more often and forget all the ills of the world.
