MOVIES FOR NEVERLAND (1)





It's no coincidence that I named this site in times of biggest personal "lostness"
NEVERLAND (i actually refused to call it LOST, thought it would be too much of a popculture reference). Isn't this the time, in which you feel the biggest possible freedom, you smell the favor of shores far away that only seem to be a footstep away? And at the same time you're unable to move because you're almost strangled by fears of unemployment and a future without money, rights or even a home. Then you remember what it was like to be a kid (It was that time when you were wishing to be an adult), search for your audio tapes you were listening to when you were 12 years old and are finally up to creating your own private NEVERLAND.
However, there are some films that cover the sense of being lost between luck and fear pretty well. And isn't it always comforting an kinda calming to watch people, who are in the same situation as yourself, getting strangled into the same problems and fears? Besides Escapism, that you can find in eroticising pictures of harrison ford, johnny depp or maybe carmen elektra's bare tits, or sending tons of applications to every university in the world, watching the following movies is probably the best way you can spend your time these days if you're 19...
Here comes part one of this fabulous life aiding series...enjoy


#1 PETER PAN [http://imdb.com/title/tt0316396/]
Ok, this seems to be an odd choice to begin with but speaking of neverland..... how could you confront yourself any better with the inevitability of approaching adulthood, which in this particular story is equaled to pure LUST and LOVE?
This movie is absolutely romantic, cute and immediately infiltrates you with the spirit of childhood. Furthermore it proves how much of childish imagination has to remain in ourselfes to think of stories such as this and bring it to the screen as wonderfully as in this movie.
#The only bad thing about this movie is it's synthesized score that just won't fit to the pretty natural and "realistic" non -plastic images. A short notice: Singing the "I do believe in faries" -tune before falling asleep or at parties really makes for a nostalgic atmosphere.

be ready for some rather unexpected stuff in the 2nd part of this column...
