Peter Pan Essay
Peter Pan was a story about a young boy that never wanted to grow up. Personally, I didn’t really like the play. I think there were things that could have been done better. Things they needed to work on are the backgrounds, making the characters more believable, and I found it very unrealistic. With these three problems corrected, I think the play would have been better.

First, the backgrounds of the play could have better. This little problem is one reason I really disliked it. Just something simple like better designs could have mad the play more enjoyable. And other backgrounds looked more fake than others. The background for when they were sailing looked the worst to me. And the water didn’t look like water at all. This is one important part of a play that makes it fun to watch, because you can believe where the characters are.

Furthermore, the characters were unbelievable. I felt like Peter Pan should not have been played by a girl, because it was meant to be played a boy. Also Tinker bell was very unbelievable because they made her just to be a little glow in the dark ball. Tinker bell should have been played as a real person. Also, you could not hear her speak.
To me Tinker bell was a very important part of Peter Pan and they did not show that.
This was also a major problem.

Lastly, the play was unrealistic! The props did not work well at all. I was very distracted by the horrific prop, to the point were I couldn’t pay attention to the theatrical performance. It’s ridiculous how something like the props could completely throw you off. I was really trying to pay attention to peter pan because I’m really interested in the movie but I was just to distracted .

So, since the play had bad backgrounds, was unrealistic and had unbelievable characters I strongly disliked peter pan the play. If they fixed these problems then maybe the play would be worth watching! And I wouldn’t easily lose

    “Peter and the Starcatcher” by Rick Elice is a prequel to the widely known story “Peter Pan”. This production employs a multitude of production elements that led to the success of the play and made the production even more interesting for the audience. The three production elements that I felt that “Peter and the Starcatcher” employed the best were lighting, costumes, and the overall set and props used.…

    In both of the stories, the dog Nana got put outside the night the kids went away the Neverland, “ the proper place for you is the yard, and there you go to be tied up this instant, (20)”. Tinkerbell tells the lost boys to shoot down Wendy when she first gets to the island, “Tink’s reply rang out: Peter wants you to shoot down the Wendy, (53)”. In both, wendy and the boys are captured by Hook and his crew and are invited to join the pirates or to walk the plank(115). Another example would be that Peter Pan cut of Hook’s left hand and fed it to the ticking crocodile in both the movie and the…

    A number of scenes in Peter and Wendy portray Peter Pan as a boy who, despite his perpetual youth, finds himself in situations not fit for a child. For example, he saves Tiger Lily from the pirates and fights his arch-enemy Captain Hook, barely escaping death. On the other hand, Peter is also responsible for the death of many pirates, and he is the one that ultimately kills Hook. Under normal circumstances, experiences such as these would be too much to bear for any child. In Peter’s case, however, they do not hold much significance because they are merely fleeting moments that he eventually forgets: Barrie explains that “Peter had seen many tragedies, but he had forgotten them all.” In fact, he cannot even remember Captain Hook, let alone the other pirates, stating that “[he] forget[s] them after [he] kill[s] them.” Since he has no recollection of them, Peter does not feel remorse or regret for his actions, nor does he derive any knowledge from them, which would corrupt his childlike state of mind that he wishes to stay in forever. Forgetting his personal tragedies is essential for him since the alternative of gaining life experience and assuming…

    I took my two young sons to this film. Only the older one had read the books, but both were quite happy with the movie. I must admit that I was looking for something more substantial, but if I was going to have to sit through a movie geared for kids, this at least kept me somewhat engaged.…

    When a recreation of a movie comes out, most people think of them as being completely dreadful compared to the first movie. This was exactly how I felt as I watched the two movies. As I started watching them, I found out that Pan is a prequel to Peter Pan. This did not stop me though! When watching the two movies, there was still many differences and similarities between the two. I will be talking about the characters, how the film was set up, the changes in music, and the things that were missing, and kept, from the first movie to the second.…

    J.M. Barrie’s original book, Peter Pan, and Disney’s film version of the book are drastically different. Even though the movie is retelling the same story, they are each interpreted in a different way. Both the book and the movie perpetuate the second-class status of the Indians, as well as demonstrate heroic masculinity through Peter Pan. However, both of these characteristics were exaggerated in the movie by celebrating Peter Pan’s heroic dominance over the Indians, perpetuating negative racial stereotype.…

    Peter Pan

    I recently read Peter Pan as research for this article, telling myself that I could not properly salute Mr. Barrie's, the author of the original Peter Pan, one hundred year-old classic without refreshing myself on the specifics. I was not expecting to find any surprises, just maybe a few more details. I really thought I must have read it at least once when I was little; after all, hasn't everyone read Peter Pan? A few pages into the story, perhaps when the Darlings are discussing whether or not they can afford to keep newborn Wendy, or maybe later when Tinker Bell first refers to Peter as "you silly ass," I realized that I had no clue what the real Peter Pan was all about.…

    On the other side, some of the modernization takes away from the play, and I think Baz Lurhmann used to much vulgarism in his movie, which can make it look sometimes ridiculous and exaggerated, and made the spectator feel a little disappointed. For example, the presence of drugs, and shocking costumes or dances, such as Mercutio´s disguise and performance during the party, was not necessary for the understanding of the story. Also, Friar Laurence doesn´t seem as wise or pious as in the play when he is sleeping in the middle of his…
