Excellent movie. I highly recommend it but it's not for children. Too sophisticated and "chatty". One young girl about 10 or 11 told her mother she didn't understand it and I can understand why. Fiction and reality juxtaposed as it was, does not make for easy linear viewing. She was probably expecting a version of Peter Pan.
Depp does an amazing job of portraying the Scottish playwright, James M. Barrie, accent and all. This is a sweet, endearing tale of how Peter Pan came to be against a backdrop of personal failure and tragedy.

[QUOTE]Excellent movie.[/QUOTE]
From what I have read it sounds like it might be very good. They did say it was not good history of the events, but that does not mean it can not be a good film.

I like Kate Winslet. She's not your typical Hollywood anorexic and since she doesn't suffer from over exposure like Julia Roberts, her performances remain fresh and highly original. She gives a terrific supporting performance in this tale.
It was also good to see the talented Julie Christie who hasn't been seen on the American silver screen in years.
We're so starved for intelligent drama in this country that when something like this comes along I can't say enough to sing its praises.

Kate Winslet is so pretty yes. I can not stand Julia Roberts.
I remember this thread on typical Hollywood Actresses. [url]http://www.originaldissent.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7733[/url]

I agree that it was intelligent drama. My wife took me to see it, and quite frankly, I was not expecting much from a movie about the creator of Peter Pan. But I was pleasantly surprised.
What shocked me most was the lack of foul language and nudity. I have seen so many movies which could have been good, had it not been for the unneccessary language.
I kept thinking to myself, "how did the director of this movie prevent the Jews of Hollywood from ruining his movie?"

"Well, ta begin with, Bubbeleh, we gotta get somea them my-norities inta this film, get me? Yeah. Hey, you don't want nobody ta think we're [I]racists[/I] around this studio, do ya? Look, this broad you want t'be played by Kate Winslet -- maybe we can get Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry instead. I like it. An' we give the story a "twist," see, where she's the [I]real[/I] writer of this [I]Peter Pan[/I] stuff, but on account of she's an Oppressed African-American Womyn of Color, she can't get it printed by the White Racist Establishment, see? Hey, am I a genius or what?
"Now this James Barrie, guy, was he a fag or what? I think we need to make him a fag. He's Sensitive an' all that crappola, so we'll get the audience to Feel His Pain at takin' all this homophobic heat for his Alternative Lifestyle! Whaddaya mean, it ain't gonna work? Goddammit, didn't Hillary Swank get the Oscar for playin' a transvestite makin' out like she was a boy? If them dumb goyim out there in flyover country'll fall for [I]that[/I], they'll lap up Sir James Faggot Barrie like chicken soup! Hell, just look at all that Lost Boys [I]feggeler[/I] crappola an' tell me he ain't a fag, right?
"Okay, now we got the [I]schwartzer[/I] broad an' the [I]feggeler[/I], these here two outcasts from their Evil Goy Nazi Homophobic Racist society, see? An' the only place they can turn to for that Compassion an' Support crap that always pulls the [I]shiksas[/I] inta the theaters is each other, right? So we get this big sweaty climax, see, where the broad reveals ta Barrie that she's really a [I]guy[/I], who's bein' forced to hide that she's a queer on accounta Intolerance an' Homophobia. Oh, Jesus, I can smell an Oscar on the way already! So she -- who's really a [I]he[/I], see -- does a big butt number on Barrie, both of 'em in the altogether, with ten thousand sappy violins doin' the John Williams theme song on the background track. But [I]tasteful[/I], like, get it? An' when they get done doin' each other, Barrie turns to the colored fag, an' says -- now get this -- "I'll always think of you as my [I]Tinker Bell[/I]!" Ain't that great? Ain't that classic? Ain't that [I]moviemakin'[/I]? Baby, we got the Oscars locked up for sure... Hey, whatsamatter? Where're you goin'? Whaddaya[I]mean[/I], this ain't the studio for you!? Where the hell d'you think you're [I]goin'[/I], you lousy [I]goy[/I]? Takin' your script [I]somewheres else[/I]? Get [I]back[/I] here! I will see that you never get no work in this town again! You friggin' [I]anti-semite[/I]!"
