　　The film Finding Neverland(《寻找梦幻岛》) is a story of magic and fantasy (魔幻) inspired by the life of James Barrie，the author of the children's story Peter Pan.Set in London in 1904，the film follows Barrie's creative journey to bring Peter Pan to life，from his first inspiration (灵感) for the story until the play's first show at the Duke of York's Theatre.

　　As the film opens，Barrie finds himself in the middle of an artistic crisis.Unfortunately，Barrie loses his inspiration-not even his wife Mary can waken his creative senses.Fighting with writer's block(障碍)，Barrie meets the Llewelyn Davis family one lazy morning during his daily walk with his dog in London's Kensington Gardens.Moved by the fatherless boys-Jack，George，Michael and Peter-and their beautiful mother，Barrie begins to tell them magical stories to pass the time during their walk in the park.Through the playwright's imagination he changes his dog into a dancing bear，stick into mighty swords，small hills into pirate(海盗)ships，kites into fairies and the Llewelyn Davis boys into "The Lost Boys of Neverland"．

　　As time goes by，a deep relationship develops between Barrie and all the members of the Llewelyn Davis family.Finally，he arrives at the point where he can't imagine his life without them. When terrible things come，Barrie acts as a father to guide them through unimaginable sadness.

　　At the same time，Barrie's writer's block disappears as he's inspired to put pen to paper and create the story of Peter Pan.The childlike innocence(天真)of the four boys leads him to imagine a world-Neverland-where no one ever grow up.It's a place where there's no real tragedy，and where that sense of joy-felt only by a child-is never tarnished(失去光泽)．Peter Pan wasn't just a fanciful(奇怪的)story about charming children，it was also about Barrie's own wish to never grow up.
