A great "new" director

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2005)

First of all, I like the work of Mr.Deep. I saw many movies with him and always great movies and "Deadman" is one of my favorites. Now I can go on.
I will saw this movie because of Mr.Deep, but also I'm was curious about the man who create Peter Pan. As a 47 old man Dysney's Peter Pan was very important when I was a child, but as a composer and writer, I'm an always curious about the creative process behind each master piece and the life of the creators.
Finding Neverland was one of those movies when I lost the floor or pull my carpet. I was not prepared to see something like that. Create is a delicate process. Many times I discovered myself drowned in inner thoughts while reality around me continuous gives me feedback, but it seems I'm not connected. I saw all of that in the big screen.
There are few movies without murders, blood, fear or sex today. It's difficult to see and to tell a story about real people and the great here is the mix of reality and dream, like a child playing. I don't like to use the word "great" a lot, but sensibility is the key. The world seems to lost it's own. The old ones forgot to play, to dream and to share.
Mr.Marc Foster had the ability to give us all of this in a movie that seems simple. A movie where the special effects don't block the view from the story. I remembered the delicate movies of Truffaut and others European directors.
Mr.Deep was great as the dreamer, the obstinate writer and builder of a bridge between dream and reality and also as the man, not so fragile as in other roles.
I can't remember about a movie in the last years when I have no words immediately after the end. I stayed with my wife seeing the credits (as usually we do) but we don't want to leave the room. We wanted to stay and see it again, but reality knocks our door and we return from a deep dive. Three hours after seeing it I'm still moved. It seems I know a bit more about myself after this movie and I didn't feel something like that since my 20's.
Nice feelings...great feelings.
