Pan, wondered why they want to call the movie Pan instead of Peter Pan, remember my first childhood English book is Peter Pan, those one has very nice drawings with simple story descriptions.
**************************************************************************
完全不知道“Pan”指的是小飛俠潘比特的情況下，我看到中段才后知后覺這是在講述他在還未成爲英雄的故事。 想起潘比特這號人物，憶起我小時候的往事，小時候第一本英語故事書就是潘比特的故事（是那種一頁文字，一頁圖畫的）

Pan is not the name, it's the actual pan flute, I was so confused that it's his name actually, Pan is the key to access to the Fairy Kingdom. And the pirate ship here reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean, I didn't watch all of the series, but I watched the last few season of it (PS: this is definitely way more better than this drama) The ship here can fly up to the sky actually is space then "jump" into Neverland. The story in this movie is about before Peter knows how to fly, defeat the pirates and get to know Tinker Bell, the fairy.

“Pan”不是他的名字，是他的排笛，我最初還以爲這就是他的名字，原來這個笛子是他用來開啓小精靈王國的鑰匙。母親爲了保護他，把他帶到了人類世界，不過這個也阻止不了他回到他世界的命運。一艘到人間“買”小孩的船，帶他回到了夢幻島。 這艘可以穿越到其他國度的船，給我感覺有點像是加勒比海盗的海盜船的樣子，可以飛上天又可以漂浮在海上。 故事隨後就延續潘比特從不相信自己可以飛，再帶領小精靈們打敗海盜王算是整部電影的重頭戲吧，因爲他一天沒學會飛，故事就沒有結局了。

Peter (Levi Miller) is a young boy who is left as a baby on the steps of an orphanage in London by his mother Mary (Amanda Seyfried), an establishment under the care of Mother Barnabas (Kathy Burke). Several years later, during World War II, upon learning that she is hoarding food for herself, Peter and his best friend Nibs steal it to distribute amongst themselves and the other orphans. In the process, Peter finds a letter written by his mother, declaring her love and assuring Peter they will meet again "in this world or the other". In retaliation for the boys' mischief, Mother Barnabas summons pirates who kidnap Nibs and several others. Peter manages to rescue Nibs, but is captured himself and taken to Neverland, a magical realm beyond space and time, where he is forced to become a slave laborer and mine for fairy dust on behalf of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) and where Peter befriends another miner, James Hook (Garrett Hedlund). After insulting Blackbeard's men, Peter is forced to walk the plank, but survives by flying above the water. Blackbeard then confides with him about an old prophecy that a boy who could fly would one day kill him, but Peter refuses to believe he is the said boy. Peter joins Hook and his accomplice, Smee (Adeel Akhtar), in stealing one of Blackbeard's flying boats and escaping into the forest, where they are found and nearly executed by the natives led by Chief Great Little Panther (Jack Charles), before his daughter, Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara), notices Peter's pan flute pendant, left to him by Mary, and said to belong to their people's greatest hero, the legendary Pan. Tiger Lily reveals that Peter's father was the Fairy Prince, and that Mary incurred Blackbeard's wrath by rejecting his advances. She was forced to abandon Peter and seek shelter in the Fairy Kingdom. As part of his heritage, Peter has the ability to fly, but unable to do so because of his lack of faith. Fearful of Blackbeard's punishment, Smee betrays the natives' location to him, and in the ensuing battle, Chief Great Little Panther is murdered by Blackbeard, who also reveals he killed Peter's mother. Peter, Hook, and Tiger Lily escape in a raft and head to the Fairy Kingdom to enlist their help in defeating the pirates. Along the way, Peter falls into the river and is nearly eaten by a crocodile before being rescued by the mermaids, after which he has a vision of Blackbeard accidentally killing Mary as she defended the Fairy Kingdom from his offensive. Despondent over their chances, Hook leaves, while Peter and Tiger Lily arrive at the Fairy Kingdom only to be ambushed by Blackbeard, who uses the pan flute pendant to open their gates and launches an attack. Peter escapes and befriends one of the fairies, Tinker Bell. Together, they rally the faries to battle the pirates, and are joined by a returning Hook, who fights Blackbeard's right-hand man Bishop (Nonso Anozie) aboard the stolen ship, which tips over, sending both falling to their deaths. Peter conquers his fears and flies to save Hook, while Blackbeard and his men are overpowered by the faries. Forced into an abyss, they subsequently fall to their deaths; Smee is the sole survivor having fled during the battle. Peter then has a vision of Mary, who reaffirms him to Neverland's great hero, Peter Pan. Shortly afterwards, Peter and Hook, now the captain of the Jolly Roger, return to London to rescue Nibbs and the other orphans, who become part of Peter's crew, the Lost Boys. Peter and Hook then reaffirm their friendship, certain that nothing will ever go wrong between them. Sources from Wikipedia |
