Hook
This movie is based on the idea that Peter Pan eventually
does grow up, he leaves Neverland to grow older and become a business man with
a fear of heights. Now Peter Banning the goes back home to England, his orphanage
and the woman who took care of him when he was first found … Wendy Darling. He,
his wife Moira and their two kids Jack and Maggie go to honor Wendy as she
accepts a new award from a hospital. As the adults are away the famous Pirate
Captain James Hook takes Banning’s kids to never land holding them in
anticipation of Peter Pan’s return.
When I
first watched this movie I was a child and it was beautiful, enchanting, and
everything you could think of in-between. Peter Banning must learn to accept
who he was and revert back to when he could play as Pan to save his kids. As a
kid it made me think of all the great things I could do as an adult without
losing out on having fun when I grew up. As an adult this movie reminded me
again that yes it is important to be an adult and grow up, but it is equally
important to have fun. It was a great take on the fantasy of going back to
child and never really growing up. It is a fun movie that serves as a reminder
that life is the most important things. You have to grow up so learn to have
fun as a kid, but you do have to grow up to remember that living and surviving
are two different things and after that to remember “Death would be an awfully
great adventure.”
