Each new day for him is associated with fascinating adventures, and life is like a series of fun and dangerous games, in which other inhabitants of the magical terrain are involved.
The book character Peter Pan in his long history has repeatedly come to life on the screens in a variety of interpretations, but he owes his first appearance to James Barry.
Born a great writer in 1860 in Scotland.The family was not rich, but still managed to provide education for their sons. Interest in writing came from James at an early age. After university, he becomes a successful journalist and actively begins to write all sorts of essays, novels and plays.
Few people know about this, but before the publicationhis main work Barry managed to become famous as one of the most witty writers for adults. He was friends with such great talents as HG Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle, and also received a lot of prestigious literary awards.
Идея написать своё бессмертное произведение came to him after close contact with the Davis family. The first time character Peter Pan appears in the novel “The White Bird”, but his peak was 1911, when the book Peter Pan and Wendy was published.
Creativity Barry is not forgotten, but his story continues to live in adaptations and to the present.
Peter personifies all children everliving on the planet. He is a completely ordinary boy who is constantly eager to fight. Immediately after meeting him, it becomes clear that he is mischievous and restless. His character traits can also be drawn from the fact that the name of the leader of the Indians gave Peter Pan. He called it the Winged Eagle, and it is known that this bird is capricious, proud and faithful. In addition, the main feature of the boy is that he knows how to fly. Forever young hero boldly looks into the face of any danger, he is ready to do anything to protect his friends, and he is the undoubted leader. It is thanks to these qualities that the "lost boys" perceive him as their elder brother and guardian, and also carry out any of his orders. It may also seem that Peter is extremely selfish and arrogant, but such qualities are common to all boys of his age. That's just this character will never grow up, which means that he was not destined to change.
The boy is rarely alone, thereforeIt’s important to know who Peter Pan was friends with. First of all, it is worth noting his faithful companion fairy Ding-Ding, who is always ready to protect her best friend. However, she is very harsh and jealous of all those who claim the attention of Peng. Also, the character is constantly followed by his squad of boys, who, too, were once lost. He cares about them and is their permanent commander.
A very important milestone in Peter's life is Wendy.with his brothers, whom he invited to fly together to Netland. They remembered this adventure as one of the most fascinating in life, and together the guys overcame a lot of dangers. After returning home, the hero visited Wendy more than once.
From difficult situations, Peter often help outthe Indians with whom he had once entered into an alliance. The most famous of them is the daughter of the leader - Tiger Lily. In addition to friends, he also has a sworn enemy - Captain James Hook. Together with his pirates and loyal assistant to the media, he constantly gives the boy trouble to avenge the loss of his hand.
Одной из самых успешных и значимых адаптаций is a cartoon studio "Disney" called "Peter Pan", the photo from which can be seen below. He came out on screens back in 1953, and incredible success awaited him. The main character was voiced by famous actor Bobby Driscoll, whose appearance has become a kind of character model. The books practically do not describe how Peter looked and how old he was. In the cartoon, he vaguely resembles the mythical character of Pan because of his pipe, sharp hat and suit. It is known that the boy is very handsome, and his snow-white smile is especially attractive. And in 2002 a sequel came out, which, however, did not become as memorable.
One of the most famous screenings in whichcharacter appears Peter Pan, became the picture of 2003, filmed by director Paul J. Hogan. The plot is most similar to the classic, and the characters and scenery are beautifully crafted. As is customary in the theater, the role of Wendy and Captain Hook was played by the same actor. They became the great British performer Jason Isaacs, familiar to the audience for the role of Lucius Malfoy in "Harry Potter". Peter himself embodied on screen 14-year-old Jeremy Sumpter, for whom this image has become one of the most important in his career. Party Wendy went to actress Rachel Heard-Wood, who in the future was waiting for great success in the movie. It is noteworthy that in the picture there is an alternative end available for those who bought the disc.
Питер Пэн – персонаж со множеством лиц, возможно, even one of the most diverse in history. The book was filmed a great number of times, including several countries. Not everyone prefers to follow the canon, therefore, authors often come up with their own versions and interpretations.
A good example of this approach isBritish mini-series "Neverland", in which Hook and Peter live together in London, but accidentally fall on a magical island with the boys from the shelter. The storyline there is devoted to the treatment of the captain to the evil side.
And in 2015 came the picture "Pen: Return to Netlandia", where the captain Blackbeard became the main antagonist. This is a kind of prehistory of already known events.
Among others, there is even the Soviet film “Peter Pan” of 1987 and many others that simply cannot be listed, not to mention theatrical productions.
