When I recommend an adult to read the play or novel of Peter Pan, they usually roll their eyes at me, dismissing it as though something ridiculous. It's a pity everyone knows the name Pan, but few know how deep the story actually is (as they haven't read it!). The story of Barrie is full of beauty and anguish in all its love that couldn't grow up, and I still find it fascinating how the boy who would not grow up came together. He is an interesting character! I wish more people would give the original story a chance (without rubbish like Hook or boredom like Finding Neverland). I love that you brought Tyrone Guthrie into the conversation for his understanding of Peter's super-positional states. I'll be reading the novel this year with my students (in fact, shortly after we cover Hamlet!). And it will be an awfully big adventure - for a discussion between both children and someone who once was a child is bound to lead to new riddles and mysteries!
You dont know how many years I have been waiting and searching for this full version, it most be about 13 years, I was about 20 years when I found pieces of this clips on your website, about 3 parts and only 3 minutes each, I saved them and still have it on my computer. Almost every year or so I fall back and watch it and brings alot of emotions in me and then I try to look it up online in hope that someone has uploaded it somewhere on the internet, but I always come back with nothing. It happend again to night, but this time for my utter surprise it is finally here and im watching it now and will be saving it for the future if it ever gets away from my hands. Im 33 years old now, im so happy to get the pieces together now. Peter Pan means alot to me, somehow and I cant figure it out, it is much more then the tv shows or movies, its a very deep thing in our minds and hearts. And im very happy this is finally coming out and especially from you Sir, Andrew Birkin. I have for years tryed to reach out to you, by emails, which is the only way to reach you since you are not on social media like the rest of the people are. I hope to one day get a conversation with you and share your thoughts and this topic and maybe many more, because of James M Barrie and Peter Pan and maybe it has always been inside me, I have been written stories. Barries was the one with Peter Pan that set me on my journey in written because the story made so many beautiful and disturbing pictures in my mind. That vary rare people can do. Thanks alot, I sure hope to hear much much much more from you in the future. My best wishes.
Matthew Gray Gubler, ( an ENFP as in Ne Fi Te Si (Carl Jung's functions) American actor playing in Criminal Minds (so much his unconscious Ni Fe Ti Se (INFJ)) ressembles J.M. Barrie ... He wrote a children's book. You can see it in the way he draws too (like Noel Fielding), he even has the same mimics (thinking of an Halloween picture of him and the "You mean the man who looks like this?" in your documentary and other postures they take ... They can both be shy and anxious in public. Matthew Gray Gubler: "I love elderly people and children because they are so close to non existencialism". He loves their "carelessness" ... He is a grown man who can take his rope and jump or go and ride on his skate board if he wants it to :)
I love analyzing people so it's a great dilemma for me too. You captured J.M. Barrie's essence really well, I think - Sylvia (8). I came to try and see who Barrie was and I was happy to get to know as much as I could. I have a feeling he had more yin than yang in him 😁. PS: I've been to Brussels to photograph Peter Pan's statue :)
It's just that with their Fi (introverted Feeling) as 2nd function, ENFPs can be short on emotions sometimes. They know what they feel and they sometimes don't express their feelings or they express them and can be very voicy about them (when not Well balanced) then like jealousy, anger, sadness ... Te (extraverted Thinking) in 3rd position which is called the child position makes them say: you're not the boss of me. So all that combined with their Ne, extraverted intuition, in 1st position (which is the dominant one, the one people use more and greatly),which gives them ideas, imagination creativity, make people who can sometimes look like children but who are actually very clever. It's the contrary for INFJs like me (Ni Fe Ti Se) who seem to have always been old and wise
Didn't Jesus say: let little children come to me and be humble as this little kid for the kingdom or heaven belongs to people who look like them? 😁 Didn't Jesus, an Ni Fe Ti Se (INFJ) ask us to convert to Neverland all along? (Ne Fi Te Si, his ENFP unconscious?). Cause Neverland surely is the way of living: FAITH, trust and pixie dust 😁🌠 So no doubt the Bible and Peter Pan should share the same copy right length ;)

How brilliant Andrew!!
Is there any way to get access to the original 1904 version of the play?
