Last night I watched Finding Neverland (2004) again. The plot of the movie is the story of J.M. Barrie's friendship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan.
I realized that I liked this movie because I learned a lot of things by meeting Sir James Matthew Barrie (Johnny Depp). He is a real kind man and has a lot of good behaviors. For example, he never lies to children and he is always honest with them. This manner was so lovely to me (maybe) because I feel like kids sometimes.
There is something else in this movie that was interesting to me. The atmosphere of the movie is very English. Culture of England in the age of this story has been always influenced me.
Anyway, this is one my favorite dialogs in this movie:
Wendy: You know fairies, Peter?
Peter: Yes. But they're nearly all dead now. You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born, its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy and girl.
Wendy: Ought to be? Isn't there?
Peter: Oh, no. Children know such a lot now. Soon, they don't believe in fairies. And every time a child says, "I don't believe in fairies", there's a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.
