Finding Neverland

Meg and I went to see Finding Neverland this afternoon. Wow. What a movie. The cast was great: Depp, Winslet, Hoffman. The story was very good, and I learned a bit more about some of the metaphors that appear in the Peter Pan story. While watching the movie, I got a little upset. I’ve seen the old Mary Martin version of Peter pan a lot, and that darn blinking light that plays Tinkerbell gets me every time. She drinks the poison to save Peter and we have to clap to save her. Make fun all you want, but I get teary eyed every time I see that darn blinkin’ light and bell start to fade. It only got worse when… well.. I don’t want to give away too much of the movie. I hope it wins some Oscars. It sure deserves them.
