I didn't deliberately want to go against the tune, but after seeing it with my friends, I wanted to seriously discuss the existing problems.
Probably because I am old, I have no "childlike innocence" and no feelings, and become an annoying adult. Except for the period when the male protagonist's growth history gradually transitioned to a gloomy and bleak period, and the two beautiful periods when my daughter embarked on the job of saving dad, I have been trying to think about the feelings and thoughts that I want to convey.
I can admit that there is indeed a sense of atmosphere in the color and setting, but there are many places in the lines and plot logic that do not work...
A male protagonist who was forcibly sent to a boarding school by his family, was sent to the battlefield, and was exploited by his boss, and possibly also a PTSD male protagonist, made some viewers feel "Is he suffering from schizophrenia?" Such a realistic scenario must be imposed on another world space, but it feels awkward.
When Pooh was in the house deliberately making trouble, when all the little animals were clamoring and even secretly copying Robin’s files, even if I knew the problem would be solved, I would feel uncomfortable... Many times I begged them in my heart "Leave him" alone please". After thinking about this discomfort, I can probably make up for the connection with my daughter's scenes, but it is too little and too vague. I remember that the male lead’s little box was under the bed in his hometown, and the male lead also told Pooh "I chose to give up on you." From the daughter discovering the box to the man’s honey soaked in the childhood paintings to Pooh’s transmission to the back garden, everything is too deliberate and unnatural...
Let’s talk about the theory of “doing nothing”. In fact, the theory that the triangle wants to cut the budget in reverse is: paid vacation + internal marketing + lowering the market price. This is not do nothing, a marketing strategy does not give the previous 14% to 20% statistics. What's more, would the big boss not give his son face so much at the rally? I'm sorry I am a secular adult, because the first half of the bedding is too heavy and gloomy, I can't directly use magic and feelings to let go of the strange feeling in my heart.
Let’s talk about the male protagonist’s dream, the most important thing for the male protagonist... The male protagonist was asked this question, but in fact he did not answer it at the end of the film. The most important thing for the male protagonist is "family", but in fact, the puppets have been asking who is the most important, from the comparison of balloons and briefcases, briefcases and quilts, and daughters and briefcases. The male protagonist's answers are all It is very ambiguous and hesitant... I have to say that the emotional line is too weak, and the emotional line is the main theme of this movie. I think the problem is that the "sense of family responsibility" was awakened by the intervention of Pooh and the others, and the fact that the daughter's wife's role was too small made the whole connection unconvincing.
If it was taken for an adult, then a more serious adult like me would lose the ability to be moved because of logic problems. Compared to looking for my childhood heart in the gloomy and busy life, I will only care more and more about whether such a hundred acres of forest is just a piece of pure land in the heart of the male protagonist. The storm was violent when he was away, and the sky was clear when he came.
If it was taken for a child, it would be too obscure... I have a headache to imagine that an adult is going to explain it to a child.
I know what the film wants to say, but such preaching cannot resonate with me. I have never experienced such a harsh boarding school, never experienced such a war, perhaps a tough working environment, but the belief in perseverance probably won't stem from the warmth brought by my playmates 20/30 years ago.
Because of the weakness of the narrative logic, returning to the family and childhood playmates cannot completely expel the shadows in reality. Too realistic background and too ideal main line will only magnify discomfort.
Finally, I thought of paying tribute to the worst toilet in Scotland in "Guessing the Train", probably because we have been making choices.
