Harry Eden Peter Pan
Thursday, August 28th, 2008
Peter Pan is a 2003 movie based on the old story and various film incarnations of Peter Pan. It stars Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood and, in a smaller but still relatively important role, Harry Eden.
For those of you who don’t know the Peter Pan tale it goes as such. Three children are asleep one night when they wake up and discover a boy in their room. He’s there trying to chase down his shadow, which has gotten away from him. After managing to secure said shadow he then invites the three children along with him to Neverland, a place of wild adventure and perpetual youth. They go with him, flying out the window of their house and beyond the clouds.
Neverland is everything the boy said it would be, and they have lots of good fun with Peter and his band of Lost Boys - which is exactly what it sounds like, a bunch of boys who have become lost in Neverland and don’t care that much about going home - until they discover that Neverland has a villain: the evil Captain Hook. Despite a series of kidnappings by Hook and his pirates the Lost Boys and Peter eventually come out on top, however, and Hook is relegated to a watery grave after he’s swallowed by a crocodile.
So where does Eden fit in? Simple: he’s one of the Lost Boys. Nibs, to be precise, one of the few Lost Boys who actually stands out among the masses.
