For those who pay attention to the literary and art world, 2018 is not a good year, because this year, many celebrities have left this world one after another, and those names that seem to stay in our memory forever suddenly leave this world, always It evokes our memories of the past, so 2018 is also a year of nostalgia. Various nostalgic articles and podcasts on the Internet lead us back to 2008, 1998 and even 1988, to miss the snacks we used to eat, listen to Songs I've played, video games I've played, and cartoons I've watched.
In many people's childhood memories, the image of "Winnie the Pooh" can be said to be very classic, but in fact, the plush toy Winnie the Pooh was the favorite toy of a little boy named Christopher Robin Milne. , and Eileen, mother kangaroo and bean, pig, Tigger, these cartoon characters are also toys that Christopher Robin found to accompany Pooh. Later, after the creation of Christopher Robin's father, AA Milne, the character became a household name.
From a little boy's stuffed toy to a household cartoon character, Pooh can be said to be very lucky. However, the time in the animation always stays at "today", and the time in the real world does keep moving forward. Christopher Robin cannot be a child forever, he will also grow up and become an ordinary man in this world who can no longer be ordinary. , work hard to support his wife and daughter, and those childhood plush companions will never be allowed to appear in the adult world.
The story of the film "Christopher Robin" begins with a farewell, Pooh and his friends hold a farewell party to see Christopher Robin away from the Hundred Acre Wood. But this is not the only goodbye in the film. As the story progresses, we see Christopher Robin saying goodbye to these childhood playmates several times. Every goodbye breaks my heart. As an adult with normal thinking and reason, I naturally know that these cute cartoon characters do not exist, and the development of the story will always lead to a happy ending. But every time I see the scene of goodbye, I can't help but twitch in my heart. Because every goodbye is telling us how far we have left our childhood innocence.
The movie "Christopher Robin" can be said to be very Disney. The simple story and the traditional ending seem to have no bright spots, but in my opinion, there are also bright spots hidden in simple movies. It wants Only one truth is conveyed to us, and that is to live in the moment.
"Christopher, what day is it?''"It's today.''
"Oh, my favorite day.'' "Yeah, mine too."
This is a conversation between Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh towards the end of the film, and thinking about our childhoods, that's how everything seems to be seen. Today is today, don't worry about anything that hasn't come, tomorrow may be windy or rainy or sunny, but if you're fidgeting and worry about what hasn't come, then you will be even now and today lose. That's the case with Christopher Robin, who spends the weekend in tension and anxiety, giving up the good times he spends with his wife and daughter for the unfinished meeting on Monday. It was the appearance of Winnie the Pooh that disrupted everything and allowed him to find what he should really cherish in life.
So I think this movie is not about trying to make us look like children, but to give us some inspiration. Instead of worrying about things that haven’t come yet and you can’t decide, it’s better to take the present as seriously as you were when you were a child. And the present, cherish the happiness of the present, because today is today, and neither yesterday nor tomorrow can replace it. When you miss it and want to cherish it again, it may not be there. Just like the door on the tree hole in the Hundred Acre Forest, if it is closed this time, it may not be opened again next time.
Therefore, growing up is not scary, what is scary is growing up for the sake of growth. Sometimes we work hard and do things we don’t like, but in fact, it’s all for the “self” in the eyes of others, not for our own “self” . Like Christopher Robin's daughter in the film, when her mother asked her to play, she said, "Okay, I'll play better and harder than the other kids." This kind of "maturity" and "sensible" is actually a great sadness in us.
Of course, this movie is not for everyone to avoid work and life in order to "live in the moment", it is just to convey an attitude to us, telling us not to be like a blindfolded donkey who only knows to move forward, sometimes do Nothing is the best choice.
Finally, let's review the "nostalgia" trend that has swept the Internet this year, and we can't help but see the reasons behind it. People miss the past on a large scale because after the external environment became bad, people began to regret that they didn’t make some choices that would be beneficial to today, and they also miss themselves in the past without any pressure. But in the adult world, no one can escape. Those pressures should be faced. I just hope that everyone can take a breath, stop, and realize the value of "today" when they miss the past. I only think about the "others" I used to be and forget about the "me" I used to be.
