Plot Summary

This film tells the story of where the inspiration came from for the classic Peter Pan story, written by J. M. Barrie (Johnny Depp). Set in Edwardian London, the film starts with the disappointing opening performance of a James Barrie play. When asked, the playwright says that he can do better.

While out walking his dog in the park he meets widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her four young boys. He finds inspiration in the imagination and games of the children and a friendship develops between himself and the family. His relationship with his wife Mary (Radha Mitchell) is cold, and to escape his functional marriage he spends more and more time with the Davies family, playing with the children and working on his next play, Peter Pan.

Donnie Brasco

Filmography by Carey

Year: 1997

Directed by: Mike Newell

Written by: Joseph D. Pistone, Richard Woodley

Music by: Patrick Doyle, Gary Schreiner, Curt Sobel

Johnny Depp playing: Donnie Brasco/Joseph D. ‘Joe’ Pistone

Runtime: 127 min.

Release Date: February 28th, 1997

IMDB


Plot Summary

Starting in 1975, FBI agent Joseph D. Pistone is assigned to infiltrate the New York City–based Bonanno crime family. Calling himself Donnie Brasco and posing as a jewel thief expert from Vero Beach, Florida, he befriends Benjamin “Lefty” Ruggiero, a low-level mob hit man whose personal life is in tatters, and Dominick “Sonny Black” Napolitano, the boss of Lefty’s crew.

Lefty can’t seem to make enough money, his son is a drug addict and he is continually passed over for promotion to a higher position within the crime family. He continually reminds Brasco of his growing disillusionment about having spent 30 years in the Mafia (and killing 26 people), with little to show for it.

In Donnie, at least, Lefty sees a young protégé who might be able to succeed where he failed. He takes Donnie under his wing. Donnie quickly becomes accepted by the other family members, as an “associate” (the lowest Mafia rank describing people who have criminal ties to the Mafia but are not actual members) and is later nearly officially inducted into the mob as a “made man.”
