Finding Neverland Page #8

Synopsis: 1903 London. Renowned playwright J.M. Barrie (James)'s latest effort has garnered less than positive reviews, something he knew would be the case even before the play's mounting. This failure places pressure on James to write another play quickly as impresario Charles Frohman needs another to replace the failure to keep his theater viable. Out for a walk with his dog in part to let his creative juices flow, James stumbles upon the Llewelyn Davies family: recently widowed Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (the daughter of now deceased author George L. Du Maurier) and her four adolescent sons. James and the family members become friends, largely based on he and the boys being able to foster in each other the imagination of children, James just being the biggest among them in this regard. Sylvia also welcomes James into their lives, he who becomes an important and integral part of it. Among the six of them, the only one who does not want to partake is Sylvia's third, Peter Llewelyn Davies, who is st

Something I should have done more of

while she was alive.

But if you feel you're not ready

for such a commitment,

I assure you I can certainly

look after the boys by myself.

Do you think I could abandon those boys ?

Sit down, Peter.

Mother pasted it back together

after I ruined it.

And then I saw the play.

I just started writing

and I haven't been able to stop.

She would be very pleased to know that.

Listen. I've just spoken

with your grandmother

and I'm staying.

For good.

I'm sorry I was so horrible.

Don't worry.

It's just...

I thought she'd always be here.

So did I.

But, in fact...

she is.

Because she's on every page

of your imagination.

You'll always have her there. Always.

But why did she have to die ?

I don't know, boy.

When I think of your mother...

I will always remember

how happy she looked

sitting there in the parlor,

watching a play about her family.

About her boys that never grew up.

She went to Neverland.

And you can visit her any time you like

if you just go there yourself.

How ?

By believing, Peter.

Just believe.

I can see her.
