Kate Winslet - James/Sylvia [Finding Neverland] #1: "I need to go on pretending until the end with you"

Welcome to the 1st James / Sylvia
Appreciation Thread

t h e i r s t o r y

After some failed attempts at creating a well written play, Barrie finds himself in a park playing with his dog. Several moments later he will come to meet the inspiration for his next play, four small boys and a widowed mother, who seems to be growing weaker by the day. Soon, the whole town is talking about Barrie and the Davies family, which causes some rough waters in his marriage. But what comes from his experiences is the play that comes to be known as Peter Pan. Sylvia becomes his muse and her children the source of inspiration. Simultaneously, a friendship deepens with Sylvia, the lads' mother, to the chagrin of his wife Mary, with whom he spends little time, the widow's mother, and high society. As Sylvia's health worsens, Barrie's ties to the boys strengthen and he must find a way to take his muse to Neverland. More here

Q u o t e s
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Just pretending? You brought pretending into this family, James. You showed us we can change things by simply believing them to be different.

Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: But the things that matter. We've pretended for some time now that you're a part of this family, haven't we? You've come to mean so much to us all that now, it doesn't matter if it's true. And even if it isn't true, even if that can never be... I need to go on pretending... until the end... with you

J.M. Barrie: I think it was the first time she ever actually looked at me, and that was the end of the boy James. I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Where?
J.M. Barrie: Neverland. It's a wonderful place... I've not spoken about this before to anyone- ever.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What's it like, Neverland?
J.M. Barrie: One day I'll take you there.

Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: [after James appears wearing an Indian headdress and face paint] James, we're just having some tea. You remember my mother, of course.
J.M. Barrie: Yes, of course, how do you do?
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: [pauses] May I take your hat?

It is a very sad ending. But I love how James took care of the boys and was a father figure to them.

I was just reading the quotes from the OP:

Quote:

J.M. Barrie: I think it was the first time she ever actually looked at me, and that was the end of the boy James. I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Where?
J.M. Barrie: Neverland. It's a wonderful place... I've not spoken about this before to anyone- ever.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What's it like, Neverland?
J.M. Barrie: One day I'll take you there.

That's such a gorgeous quote

awakeningjenny, my sentiments exactly. Very beautiful. She's the first one he completely opened up to.

I think he found the family he was looking for or wanted in Sylvia and her boys. They seemed like a family.
