Amazing

There are spoilers...but nothing too bad
Wow...just..wow. I absolutely adored this film. I love both Depp and Winslet as actors, in general, and they were both marvelous in the film. While Finding Neverland may not have been exactly the story of Barrie's life, it was astounding nonetheless. Maybe Barrie wasn't like Depp portrayed, but hey, whoever Johnny portrays makes the movie great. This may not be the best movie of all time. Actually, I doubt it is. But it left me with such a feeling of satisfaction that I would like to believe it is.
The way Barrie's mind is displayed, without him having to speak lines to say it, is amazing. Whenever anyone talks about the movie, the first thing I think of is the scene where he and his wife are going into their rooms, and his is a colorful nature scene, rather than a door. It makes me smile, and usually, after thinking of this, I start talking about how great the movie is.
The only reason I'm giving it less than a ten is the ending. It could have ended just fine in Neverland, rather than going past that. When that scene ends, you know what's going to happen after it, and it disappointed me that they played everything out.
But, in all, it's a must-see. It'll make you think, but you'll probably enjoy this kind of thinking. :)
