''Peter Pan'' is a 2003 American fantasy film released by Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios. It was the first authorized and faithful film or TV adaptation of J.M. Barrie's play in half a century, after Disney's version in 1953. P. J. Hogan directed a screenplay co-written with Michael Goldenberg which is based on the classic play and novel by J. M. Barrie. Jason Isaacs plays the roles of Captain Hook and George Darling, Olivia Williams plays Mrs. Darling, while Jeremy Sumpter plays Peter Pan, Rachel Hurd-Wood portrays Wendy Darling, and Ludivine Sagnier plays Tinker Bell. Lynn Redgrave plays a supporting role as Aunt Millicent, a new character created for the film. Contrary to the traditional stage casting, the film featured a young boy in the title role. Since the first stage production of the story, the title role has usually been played by a woman, a tradition followed in the first film adaptation. Two subsequent animated adaptations have featured a male voice actor as Peter Pan, and a (Soviet live-action film adaptation ) for television cast a boy to play the role. This film was the first live-action theatrical release with a boy playing the part. The casting of a single actor to play both George Darling and Captain Hook follows a tradition also begun in the first staging of the play. ==Plot== In Edwardian-era London, in the nursery of the Darling home, Wendy Darling (Wood) tells her younger brothers, John (Harry Newell) and Michael (Freddie Popplewell), stories that enthrall Peter Pan (Jeremy Sumpter) and his fairy friend Tinker Bell (Ludivine Sagnier). Life is disrupted when their Aunt Millicent visits the family. Judging Wendy to be an "almost" full-grown woman, Aunt Millicent advises Mr. and Mrs. Darling to think of Wendy's future, saying that Wendy should spend less time with her brothers and more time with her as she learns how to be a proper young lady. The very idea terrifies the children. That night, Wendy catches a glimpse of a mysterious young boy hovering over her bed. As the boy flees, the Darlings' dog Nana, who also serves as the nursemaid, snatches his shadow just as he escapes. The next morning at the school, Wendy is caught drawing a picture of the boy in her book instead of doing work. Later, while chasing the delivery boy to stop him from carrying a letter from Wendy's teacher to Mr. Darling at the bank, Wendy and Nana crash into him and spoil his chances of impressing his superiors. As a punishment, Mr. Darling chains Nana outside before he and Mrs. Darling leave for a party, leaving the children with Aunt Millicent. The young boy eventually visits the nursery again looking for his shadow, and introduces himself as Peter Pan. After being acquainted, Wendy sews his shadow back on and is enchanted by Peter's tales of his adventures in Neverland. She asks Peter if she can kiss him, but because he does not know what a kiss is, ends up giving him a thimble instead. He returns the "kiss" by plucking an acorn from his shirt and giving it to her. She attaches it to a gold chain and hangs it around her neck. Peter invites her to be "mother" to his gang of Lost Boys. She asks to bring her brothers, John and Michael, to which Peter agrees. He grabs Tinker Bell and shakes fairy dust on the children and tells them to think of happy thoughts. John and Michael fly out the window and Peter whispers into Wendy's ear, telling her to forget her troubles. Nana, having escaped her chain, leads Mr. and Mrs. Darling back home, but they arrive too late to stop the children. Peter, Wendy, Michael and John fly over the streets of London and into the atmosphere until they arrive to Neverland. They spy on Captain Hook's (Jason Isaacs) ship from a cloud. The pirates spot them and attack by shooting cannonballs at them. One knocks Wendy far away and the other causes Michael and John to fall towards the island below. Peter tells Tinker Bell to find Wendy and take her back to the hideout while he gets the boys. But Tinker Bell reaches the hideout without Wendy and out of jealousy, tricks the Lost Boys into shooting Wendy with an arrow. Tootles's arrow hits Wendy, sending her to fall from the sky and onto the ground in the forest. When the boys reach her, they realize it was not a bird they shot, but a young girl. Peter arrives on the scene and when he ask, he learns it was Tootles who shot her. In return, Peter nearly stabs Tootles, but Wendy is revealed not to have been killed as the arrow hit the acorn necklace hung around her neck. Peter orders the boys to build a sturdy house around her, and before they go, two of the Lost Boys reveal that it was Tinker Bell who tricked them into shooting down Wendy. Angry, Peter banishes Tinker Bell and ends their friendship. When Wendy finally awakens and comes out of the hut, she finds the Lost Boys on their knees begging her to be their mother, which she accepts. They blindfold her and lead her to their hideout, and she finally realizes Michael and John are not among the Lost Boys. Meanwhile, Michael and John stumble across a cave inhabited by the crocodile that ate Hook's right hand and awaken it from its sleep. After, Tiger Lily (Carsen Gray), a member of the local Native American tribe, captures John and Michael in her hunting trap by accident, flipping them upside down, and exposing their bare behinds. This strikes Tiger Lily as incredibly funny, and in a fit of laughter, she slips and falls off her tree perch to find herself in front of Captain Hook and his pirates. Captain Hook captures Tiger Lily, as well as John and Michael and takes them to the Black Castle to use as bait for Peter Pan. All three of them are chained to a rock and gagged as the tide rises. That night, Wendy and Peter visit the mermaids' lagoon to ask the dark and unfriendly creatures to help in locating John and Michael, and learn that Hook has her brothers. Peter and Hook engage in a duel during which Hook gains the upper hand when he disarms Peter and captures him. However, he is stopped when he hears ticking clock of the crocodile, allowing Peter, Wendy, her brothers, and Tiger Lily to escape. The crocodile tries to eat Hook, but he and the pirates make a narrow escape. That night, after a celebration at the Indians' camp, Peter shows Wendy the fairies' home and the two share a dance. Hook spies on the two and soon comes across Tinker Bell, who is still hurt and upset from being banished, and charms her into telling him more about Peter and Wendy. Peter becomes upset with Wendy after she tries to get him to tell her if he loves her in return and tells her to go home and grow up if she's not happy. Wendy, hurt, escapes to her little house and cries herself to sleep. Peter returns to the Darling house, and sees that Wendy's mother is still waiting for any sign of her missing children. He attempts to shut the window, but after a struggle, the Darlings manage to reopen the window, refusing to let it be closed, thus making it possible for their children to remember to come home. Back in Neverland, Hook finds the sleeping Wendy and has her carried to his ship, the ''Jolly Roger''. There, he entices her to remain on board to tell stories to the crew and to choose any pirate name of her liking, and she chooses Red Handed Jill. Hook then sends a spy to follow her to the Lost Boys' underground hideout. The next day, Peter hears of a new pirate joining Hook's crew, and an angry Wendy reveals that she is the pirate, leading to a fight between the two. Wendy soon comes to her senses and tells her brothers that the three of them will be going home, which upsets Peter. The Lost Boys ask if they can go too, upsetting Peter even more. Wendy tries to say goodbye to Peter but he turns away in sadness. She leaves him a cup of medicine and tells him not to forget to take it. The pirates are waiting outside and they kidnap the boys as they are leaving the tree. Wendy is bound and gagged before she can cry out to Peter Pan for help. Hook goes down into the tree to try to kill Peter once and for all, but is unable to reach him from the ledge he is on. He then puts a drop of poison in the medicine Wendy had left for him. Peter wakes up to discover that all the boys and Wendy are gone. He is about to drink the medicine, but Tinker Bell stops him and drinks the poison herself. Peter is angry at first, but soon realizes that she had done so to save him and she is going to die. Peter begins to cry, causing a snowstorm in Neverland, which makes Hook believe Peter is dead. Peter telepathically reaches out to children sleeping around the world, the Darlings, Aunt Millicent, the Lost Boys, and even the pirates to bring Tinker Bell back to assert their belief in fairies, which brings Tinker Bell back to life. Peter and Tinker Bell save Wendy and the boys from walking the plank by creating a fake shadow of the crocodile flying behind sail, distracting Hook and his men, and the children then fight against the pirates. After discovering how to fly, Hook sprinkles himself with Tinker Bell's fairy dust and fights Peter in a duel while high up in the air. In order to gain the upper hand, Hook taunts him about Wendy abandoning him and forgetting all about him when she grows up. Weakened by those thoughts and unable to fight, Peter gives in to his inevitable death. Seeing this as goodbye, Wendy gives Peter her hidden kiss, which gives him the strength to recover. Peter re-engages Hook, who loses his confidence and falls in the water, where he is swallowed whole by the crocodile. Peter takes control of the ship, and brings Wendy back to London with her brothers and the Lost Boys. Mr. and Mrs. Darling are overjoyed at the return of their children, and adopt the Lost Boys. Slightly, who got lost on the way to London and arrives at the house too late, is adopted by the lonely Aunt Millicent. Peter promises never to forget Wendy and to return someday before heading back to Neverland with Tinker Bell. According to the adult Wendy, she never saw Peter Pan, but she continues to tell his story to her own children and grandchildren so that his legacy will last forever. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Pan (2003 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
