Hi, Mystery Recapped here. Today I am going
to explain an American fantasy drama film
2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:16,160
called “Wendy.” Spoilers ahead!
Watch out and take care!
3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,440
The movie starts in Darling’s diner owned
by a middle-aged woman named Angela Darling.
4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,560
She has three kids, two twin sons, James
and Douglas, and a younger daughter,
5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,840
Wendy. Their dinner lies right by a railroad
in the rural South and is always filled with
6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,600
people. It is a happy and lively place where
everybody loves little Wendy. One day, a little
7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,040
guy named Thomas Marshall is in the diner enjoying
a meal for his seventh birthday. His grandmother
8
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,160
jokes that he will be a cleaner at the diner
when he grows up. Thomas retaliates; he wants to
9
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,840
be a pirate but the seniors just laugh at him.
Overwhelmed with emotions, he walks outside,
10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,720
when no one is watching. Little Wendy, who is
some years younger than Thomas, crawls towards
11
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,840
the window and watches as he gets on a moving
train. There seems to be another child on the
12
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,600
train with him, whose face isn’t clearly seen.
Time passes and Wendy gets older but she never
13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,120
forgets what she saw that day. She becomes more
imaginative with time and often writes her own
14
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,560
bedtime stories about adventures. At only nine
years old, she has a thirst for adventures and is
15
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,480
willing to take risks for a rush of adrenaline. As
Wendy helps her mother and brothers at the diner
16
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,280
we see a notice on a board that says Thomas
disappeared at the age of seven and has never been
17
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,400
found, along with another thirteen-year-old boy,
indicating that children go missing frequently in
18
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,640
the town. Wendy is calm and composed in contrast
to her brothers who are always dancing, singing,
19
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,840
and making noise. The four of them are
a happy family nonetheless. One night,
20
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,200
on the boy’s demand, their mother tells them a
bedtime story about her life. She claims that she
21
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,080
was wild when she was younger and had dreams and
aspirations that people would make fun of her for.
22
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,560
She once hitchhiked to California and stole
cars on her way. Wendy is fascinated and
23
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,680
asks her what her dreams are now. Angela replies
that she wants to take care of her children.
24
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,880
She adds, as people get older and things
change, their dreams also change. This
25
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,600
makes Wendy sad because she never wants to give
up her dream of going on several adventures and
26
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,840
she doesn’t want to get old either. The following
day after school, the kids go to a canal to fish.
27
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,120
James and Douglas are busy when Wendy runs towards
the railway tracks. She sees a train and chases
28
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,040
behind it hoping to board it as Thomas did years
ago. But she falls in the way and misses it. While
29
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,160
returning home, she remembers her brother’s words;
Your life will go by and nothing will ever happen.
30
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,680
At night, everyone is asleep but Wendy keeps
herself busy by making up stories about stars.
31
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Suddenly, a mysterious red light passes through
the window and the sound of a train approaching
32
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,000
is heard. She looks outside the window and sees
a boy playing and running on top of a moving
33
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,520
train. It is the same little boy named Peter,
who was with Thomas when he disappeared.
34
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Wendy wakes her brothers up and climbs
out of the window to take a closer look.
35
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120
The boys follow her behind but cannot
stop her before she jumps on the train.
36
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,440
They, too, get on board following their sister.
Wendy spreads her arms feeling free for the first
37
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,800
time. Then, they are approached by a laughing
Peter. The guys ask him what their stop is,
38
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,080
but Peter replies that there are no stops because
this is an adventure. In the morning, Peter tells
39
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Wendy that the world has no end; it goes on and
on forever past the restaurants and the houses.
40
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,120
When they reach above a river, Peter asks them to
line up on the edge of the train. The kids do it
41
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,720
without asking any questions and yell in fear when
they are pushed into the river by him. Peter jumps
42
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,520
behind them and introduces them to a kid on a
boat. All of them get on the boat and sail to
43
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,200
the sea, eventually reaching a volcanic tropical
island. A fish-like creature from the sea makes
44
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,720
a noise that Peter claims is the mother welcoming
them. Seeing the magical island, Wendy remembers
45
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,680
the voice in her head that used to ask her to
sneak into the night. She figures that the noise
46
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,120
has been coming from the island all along.
An active volcano is shooting out smoke in the
47
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,160
air, indicating the magical charge of the place.
Peter runs into the woods with his friend,
48
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,640
making the siblings follow them. On their
way, they are terrorized by smoke coming out
49
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,320
of the ground. A while later, they meet a guy
their age singing a melody to the big volcano.
50
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Wendy joins him out of nowhere. Peter approaches
them and says that their singing was hopeless.
51
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,040
He meditates and performs some hand gestures of
his own, triggering the volcano. The others run
52
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,800
away in fear and excitement. Suddenly, a little
boy comes running their way, who Wendy recognizes
53
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,920
as Thomas. Although he was older than her when
he ran away, he doesn’t seem to have aged a day.
54
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,920
Upon inquiry, Thomas claims that he is a
Blackbeard and runs away. At night, the other
55
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,840
kids play and laugh around the confused Darling
siblings. Eventually, they join the others and
56
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,560
start singing the same melody from earlier.
When they wake up the next morning, Peter is
57
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,160
looking at the sea, claiming that he is talking
to the mother. Later, he and Wendy jump into a pit
58
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,200
on the ground and reach a canal. Peter takes
her into the sea and shows her the mother who
59
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,320
turns out to be the island’s spirit in the form
of a massive fish that spreads a golden glow
60
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,520
wherever it goes. Peter explains that when the
first child laughed, for the first time, the
61
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,720
mother rose up to the surface from the center of
the earth to watch over them. She preserves their
62
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,760
childhood so they can go on any adventure and
do whatever they want for as long as they like.
63
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,960
However, the magic only works if you maintain
faith in the mother. If someone stops believing
64
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,760
in her, they will age at an exponential
rate and turn old. For the next few days,
65
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,840
life is like a movie for the children. They play,
dance, sing and laugh from day to night without
66
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:58,880
any care. Douglas and James completely forget
about their mother back home but Wendy thinks to
67
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,920
herself that she is just extending her visit and
will return home once she is done having fun.
68
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,240
One day, Wendy wakes up to see an elderly man
wandering close by. When she greets him, he runs
69
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,280
off into a barren side of the island. The children
explain his name is Buzzo, a former member of
70
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:20,560
their group who lost faith in Mother when he lost
his best friend, and so aged into an old man.
71
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,240
After that, they find a capsized boat called the
Mañana in the sea. The Darling siblings swim to
72
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,680
the boat to inspect it. Douglas is skeptical about
swimming into the compartments of the ship but he
73
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,200
agrees when James calls him a coward. The three
dive into the compartment but only James and Wendy
74
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,880
emerge from the other side. Worried for Douglas,
they dive back inside but are unable to find him.
75
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,760
The other kids also help them look but are
unsuccessful. Eventually, they drag the brother
76
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,760
and the sister out of water assuring them that
Douglas must be fine. Losing his twin, affects
77
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:59,680
James the most. When he wakes up the next day, his
hand has wrinkled and turned old. Wendy realizes
78
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,240
that James has lost faith in the mother and he
asks her to keep it a secret from the others.
79
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,320
However, Peter soon finds out about it. James
tries to snatch Peter’s sword to cut his old arm
80
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,920
off to try to stop the aging process. Peter
volunteers to do it himself and cut his arm.
81
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Wendy runs to her brother who falls to the ground
in pain. She angrily asks everyone to get away
82
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,640
from them and takes James with her in search of an
actual adult. They come across Buzzo who agrees to
83
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,760
help them. He puts James on a donkey and takes
the two to the old people’s quarter. It is the
84
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,480
place where all the children who have turned into
old people live. Everyone there is catching and
85
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,000
killing fishes which confuses Wendy. She inquires
what they are doing to find out that eating the
86
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
mother will give old people their childhood
back, so they are trying to catch her.
87
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,320
James’s arm is now tied in a cloth and has stopped
bleeding. To rest, he and Wendy go to an abandoned
88
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,920
diner with the other old people. Silence prevails
in the room until Wendy asks everyone to bring
89
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,520
their childhood spirits back even if they are
old. She dances, urging the others to do the same.
90
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Eventually, all of them get together and dance
Except for James, who is still very depressed.
91
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,240
He runs out in frustration as Wendy follows him
behind. James goes to the fishing zone and gets
92
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,280
the nets ready. The other old people see this and
decide to make him their leader because he knows
93
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,080
how to fish. James comes out with another plan
to capture the mother. He suggests they abduct
94
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,880
the children which will make the mother come to
them herself. Wendy retaliates against the idea
95
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,080
but the others like it. They start to prepare to
kidnap the kids while Wendy runs back to the woods
96
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,360
to alert them. But the adults get there before
her and kidnap all the children. The only one
97
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,800
that could hide and save himself is Peter. Wendy
joins him and the two watch the adults repair the
98
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,920
boat Mañana and board the kids on it.
Wendy notices a man with only one arm
99
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,760
bending a hook. It turns out that the man is
James who has grown into an adult. After they
100
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,160
sail away with the boat, Peter urges Wendy
to come with him and save their friends.
101
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,520
They jump into the ocean and end up in the canal
again. There, Peter tells Wendy about his family
102
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:11,440
back home. Wendy wanders off to the other side
of the canal to find Douglas alive and well.
103
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,800
The two reunite and set off to look for their
friends on a rowboat. Seeing no one on the deck,
104
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,520
the three of them climb up the boat and try to
untie the children, but the adults catch them
105
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,720
and bring them to their leader, James. He has
now turned fully old and has a hook in the place
106
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,240
of his missing arm. James and Douglas are both
surprised to see each other. James is mad at
107
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,000
him for staying young while he turned old. While
Douglas refuses to believe James is his brother.
108
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,960
Suddenly, the sound of the mother is heard.
The adults all prepare to hunt her while the kids
109
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,840
beg them to stop. They free themselves and jump
into the water to get the mother out of the net
110
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,600
but are too late as James strikes her with a
harpoon and injures her gravely. The golden glow
111
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,480
from the mother’s body dissociates and drops
to the bottom of the ocean. James manages to
112
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,320
get a piece of flesh from the mother’s body but
refuses to eat it at last. Peter cries in vain
113
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,440
about losing the mother and Wendy comforts him
by hugging him. He is worried that he will now
114
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,760
get old and die. Now, even makes the olds feel bad
for the kid. Wendy assures all of them that their
115
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,040
story is great and the bigger they get, the more
stories they can form. They can get married and
116
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,080
have children who will have stories of their own.
Hence, they should not be disheartened. She then
117
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,120
gets them to all start singing the melody again.
As their singing grows louder, Peter becomes more
118
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,120
inspired, and the volcano erupts once more. Wendy
and Douglas decide it is time for them to go home.
119
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,080
Knowing that he cannot go home, James
says his last goodbye to his twin.
120
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,920
He then changes his name to Captain Hook and
stays to play with Peter as his new “enemy”,
121
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,640
thereby allowing him to live out the rest
of his days with the spirit of a child.
122
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,840
In the ending monologue, Wendy says that she,
Douglas, and the other children have returned
123
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,600
home to their own families. They have many
adventures as they grow older. They dance and sing
124
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,200
and have fun even as adults. Many years later,
Wendy is now a mother with her own daughter.
125
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:18,480
She tells the story of Peter and the island to her
as a bedtime story. At night, while Wendy sleeps,
126
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,760
her daughter hops on the train with Peter. Wendy
runs after, but she cannot catch up to them. She
127
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,120
then watches them get away with a smile on her
face, knowing that her daughter is in good hands
128
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:37,520
and is ready for an adventure of her own.
