LIFE GOES ON
Just because a movie's over doesn't mean the story ends

Story by Michelle Kung

Biopics can't possibly tell the entire story of their subjects' lives - they'd all be three times as long as Alexander. But this season, some cinematic slices of life are cut less generously (and more abruptly) than others. We dug up some details, after the credits rolled.

FINDING NEVERLAND:

There was no happy ending for J.M. Barrie's beloved Llewellyn Davies boys (five lads, by the way, not the film's four): George was killed in WWI, Michael drowned while an undergrad at Oxford, and Peter commited suicide in 1960. Oh yes, and dad Arthur Llewellyn Davies was prematurely bumped off in the film; he was very much alive when Barrie met the boys in 1898.
