 Introduction
• Johnny Deep and his performance in three movies. Two of
them are inspired by true facts and the other one is pure
fantasy. He is able to change attitude and accents. Also, his
performance shows his character development through the
movie.
• Movie summary
• The story focuses on Scottish writer J. M. Barrie, his platonic
relationship with Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and his close friendship
with her sons in the movie “Finding Neverland”.

• Excerpt Context
• Mister Barrie , Sylvia and her sons are in the Kensington Gardens, in
the middle of the day. Mister Barrie decides to present a small show
in front of them with a dog while they are sitting on a blanket .

• Excerpt summary
• Mister Barrie tries to make Peter understand that with imagination
everything is possible and that he should not criticize things and
people before seeing what they are up to.
• Mr. Barrie: Well, currently, I make my living entertaining princes and their courts with my trained bear, Porthos. If you
command your brother, Peter, to join us, I am willing, Prince George, to give you just such a performance.
• Peter: Very well.
• Mr. Barrie: Now... I want you to pay particular attention to the teeth. Some unscrupulous trainers will show you a bear
whose teeth have all been pulled, while other cowards will force the brute into a muzzle. Only the true master would
attempt these tricks without either measure of safety.
• Peter:This is absurd. It's just a dog.
• Mr. Barrie: "Just a dog"? "Just"? Porthos, don't listen to him. Porthos dreams of being a bear and you want to dash those
dreams by saying he's "just a dog"? What a horrible, candle-snuffing word.
• Peter:Fine then. Turn him into a bear, If you can.
• Mr. Barrie: With those eyes, my bonny lad, I'm afraid you'd never see it. However, with just a wee bit of imagination, I can
turn around right now and see...the great bear, Porthos.
• Peter:I‘ve seen better.
