In this retelling, Peter isn’t so much the spirit of eternal youth, but rather a sinister cult leader. Sadistic, arrogant, and selfish -- he embodies the very worst characteristics of children and then some. Jamie, the first of Peter’s boys, has become the caretaker of the Lost Boys. As he becomes burdened by the price in blood and death entailed by Peter’s choices, and how disposable the boys are to Peter, he begins to struggle with the reality of who and what Peter Pan really is -- and how monstrous the reality of a child who always gets his way can be. But Jamie doesn't see Peter's real side. The side that doesn't mind putting the boys lives in danger, the side that doesn't care when the boys get killed. Because after all, that's no fun!

Was this, I wondered, what it felt like to be a grown-up? Did you always feel the weight of things on you, your cares pressing you down like a burden you could never shake? No wonder Peter could fly. He had no worries to weight him to earth.”As many of you are already aware, Peter Pan is a spoiled, petulant little prig, who also happens to function with the most murderous of intentions. I have always considered Peter Pan to be a jerk and this reimagining certainly does not dispel that notion. I believe this song is about the things we turn to when we are severely depressed. "Peter Pan" can be seen as cutting, drugs, alcohol, etc. These artificial fulfillers entice us by telling us "Run, run, lost boy away from all reality."

This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.In October 2016, Vertigo released a comic book miniseries, The Lost Boys, where Michael, Sam, and the Frog Brothers must protect Star from her sisters, the Blood Belles. [35] Sequels [ edit ] i also feel like the brutality of this story is somewhat necessary to emphasise with a character like jamie, a character that we have all come to know as a villain. so to see his origins and understand how he came to be the way he is is really important.

Was this, I wondered, what it felt like to be a grown up? Did you always feel the weight of things on you, your cares pressing you down like a burden you could never shake? -Jamie” When Peter's newest addition to his gang of lost boys is barely out of diapers, tensions reach an all time high between Jamie and his longest, his only friend. Why must he always shoulder the responsibility? What isn't Peter telling him about the island? Is he really Peter's right hand man? Or just another disposable plaything? Peter lies. Peter is a manipulator. Peter thinks only of Peter. He is not the rescuer of unwanted children. He is not a magical hero or purveyor of fun and excitement. Peter is a monster, but the boys he brings to his island are too naïve to realize, until it is too late, but the boys did have Jamie.Was this, too, part of growing up? Was it facing the bad things you’d done as well as the good, and knowing all your mistakes had consequences? Peter made mistakes all the time— he was thoughtless; he hurt people. But it never troubled him, not for a moment. He forgot all about it in an instant. That was being a boy.” Orson Scott Card has claimed that many elements of M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense were plagiarized from Lost Boys, although he has said that enough had been changed that there was no point in suing. [18] [19] See also [ edit ] The key line in this verse is "... As we soared above the town that never loved me I realized I finally had a family" If Peter Pan is a person then this line means that that person finally made her feel accepted when no one else did. If Pan is herself then in means that she finally realized that loving herself was all she really needed. First, This song can have infinite meanings depending on who is translating it. There are two different meanings that come to me right away, Quite simply Peter Pan is either a Person that changed her life or the Love she found for herself. Here is my explanation; James — James seems to be closer to Peter than any other boy at St. Norbert's. He serves as the leader to the Lost Boys when Peter is not around, making him the second-in-command.
