Peter Pan
Directed by P.J. Hogan
...It is also impossible to film Peter Pan well. Like Tom Sawyer, Peter Pan is so politically incorrect that anyone who dared make a film true to the book would be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. And so, in this Peter Pan, in the interests of political correctness, Peter acknowledges from the first that girls are smarter and stronger than boys, all Native Americans possess wisdom greater than any white man, and the many things we call love -- the love of a man for a woman, the love of a mother for a child, the love of God that passeth all understanding -- all human loves can be fitted into nice, Freudian compartments and assigned numbers by the American Psychiatric Association, and there is never, never any blurring around the edges...
