too much of a fairytale to be true

Rating: 5/10 (28 November 2005)

So this is a film about a famous writer of Peter Pan, James Matthew Barrie, but in my opinion this movie is a fairy tale and does not reveal the truth about the author.I think that Barrie is not shown in a realistic way, in the movie he is shown as the child in a man's body and how he is not understood by the people who surrounds him (Emma Du Maurier,his wife...), how they misjudge him and so on. I think that's fake and that this movie was made for a very average movie viewers and for us who have a little more brain this movie is not 8.2 out of 10. The real life of J.M.Barrie was a bit different, some people say that he was pedophile and that's why he was spending so much time with children unfortunately we don't know what exactly was doing with them or to them but in my opinion he was a little bit ill in the head and the right genre for this movie should be drama not fantasy. Being ill in the head was probably a good thing, almost every famous writer, poet, painter, philosopher... was a little bit ill, and if Barrie wasn't he probably wouldn't have written such great book as Peter Pan, so it's a shame this movie was made for the Oscars and not for the true movie fans.
