Found Neverland! A Brilliant and Sensible movie!

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2004)

Finding no words to write is very bad for a reviewer! This is the situation I find myself in now! I have just been to neverland and back again to the real world but I shall never forget the path!
"Finding Neverland" is one of very few movies that has touched the hearts of the Audience. The audience was in their seats even after 15 seconds "The End" was written on the screen. Then one by one we stood up and applauded. All of us was reluctant to leave the Neverland that we found.
Its the journey that Author JM Barrie took to find his finest play " Peter Pan" Johnny Depp was brilliant and convincing as the author. He might very well walk away with an Oscar this year. Kate Winslet is an wonderful actress and she has proved it yet again. Kate is Sylvia Davies mother to the four children based on whom Barrie has written the play. The supporting cast Radha Mitchell, Dustin Hoffman and Julie chistie also did justice to their roles. I would have loved to see Dustin Hoffman in an extended role but again we cant take story away from its roots can we? Four children are good and can expect them to be wonderful actors one day.
The story is about hope and imagination. How even in the woes of his loveless marriage and disaster of a play Barrie picks himself up to live his dreams. The screenplay is pure at heart and so often in film we are touched by it!
The only flaw in the movie is towards the middle when it looks like it is dragging. But soon the movie continues its good stride.
Marc Forster has made a beautiful masterpiece that will never get old in hearts of cinema lovers like me.
Please do watch the movie... Not alone... But with your family and friends and take them to Neverland with you!
