"In punishment for lack of an interesting pirate name, Peter shall walk the plank."
-J.M. Barrie
Finding Neverland
2004
When imagination and inspiration take a slight detour in a writer's life, we find our greatest philosophy of words through thought in those in which we are surrounded by. When life puts the creative halt on a writer, the words written after the inspiration become life's great imaginative experience; it becomes Peter Pan. It becomes the seek to find environment of Neverland, and the boy who didn't want to grow up.
Do you remember the classic tale of Peter Pan?
Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, Wendy and yes, Peter, the boy who discovered himself while finding the greatest passion for life and aging through imagination. Watching Peter Pan signifies that time in your life when you were allowed to dream, and live life through a world that is what you make of it. Peter Pan was, and is one of those stories we have been delighted to tell and re-tell over the years through compassion for dreams and fantasy and ever lasting childhood.
"Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older." - J.M. Barrie
As we look into the film, Finding Neverland, we imagine how difficult it was to actually want and discover the intrigue of Neverland. Johnny Depp sums up the role of Scottish writer J. M. Barrie as a creative, innovative and charismatic soul that defines friendship and exudes confidence in selflessness.
This film demonstrated the substantial brilliance of the true test of will and determination. Life, story, and experience make each person valuable to someone. Each person's life, story and experience gives people more and more validity to the imaginative nature in which we all speak to, internally. Stepping beyond our comfort zones and into the unknown gives more than life, it give assertiveness to living.
When we look at life through a glass surface we assume its clear. When we look at life through a covered surfaced it appears clouded and obscured. Yet, when we imagine, life isn't looking through anything but fascination and the wind, we see opportunity and excellence. We think we can see the wind, yet, its just seen through trees, and shrubs and flowers that bloom on a dark and gloomy, or hot and mild day. We think we need to clean a dirty surface to find the true image in what we want to affirm. However, without knowing where the wind can take you, you are just losing interest in what the world has to offer when the image is faltered on the surface.
I enlist the dreamer to continue to dream. I enlist the boy to envision a world of endless sword fights, walking the plank, and finding true admiration in adventure.
When the words find a writer stumped, the imagination because their past 10 day's look into Johnny Depp's resume of films. This solidifies the truth in which we as individuals, and even writers can affirm. Creativity sometimes is hidden beneath a reality, and inspiration can come from a world of wonder and interest in looking beyond the wind and into the stars.

As to Neverland, I loved this magical, serious, quiet movie -- and its story of J.M. Barrie's unfulfilled? romance, in a time that feels much too restrictive. I loved Johnny playing this quiet role, as well, and the story of Peter Pan coming into being. I'll have to watch it again...
