"Fantastic Toy Store": Looking for our lost innocence

Compared with the various fantasy movies that have been surging in recent years, "Fantastic Toy Store" is so stretched. An idiot and childish movie for children to see, that is, there is no gorgeous special effects scenes and no exciting and tense plot.

On the contrary, I was moved by the film’s simple stories, simple characters, and so-called toys that only fly around the sky. Yes, it is such a naive film that a child watched, which touched the heart of an adult and allowed people to believe that the childlike innocence, which has long been lost by us, is still waiting for us in a certain corner alone. Looking for. ——Aspiring young women


remember that when we were children, we persevered to believe in our dreams. One day I will be the one soaring in the universe, one day I will become a beautiful princess like Barbie...These magnificent dreams are so naive and ridiculous now, what a lawless fantasy, anyway, when we are When we grow up to adulthood, when we have a stronger body and a higher IQ, we start to laugh at these dreams, because we can't do it anymore, so we don't have the courage to dream.

Natalie Portman frankly told reporters that she has always been a child, a little girl, and she has always regarded herself as a little girl. In "Star Wars", Portman is the noble queen who maintains the peace and tranquility of the entire galaxy. In "Close", she is the strange girl with a slutty life and a chic and magnanimous personality. In the apocalyptic world of "V for Vendetta" Here, she strips her head but can't hide her innocent eyes. In "Fantastic Toy Store", she wears a colorful t-shirt and completely integrates herself into the world of children's toys. This young actress who has a promising future in Hollywood finally After a series of complicated and heavy roles, he regained his innocence and performed a manager working in a toy store.

"Fantastic Toy Store" is a simple and interesting fairy tale, just like a little story that a child leans in the arms of his mother and listens to it before going to bed. It is a colorful fairy tale book placed by the pillow. Once upon a time, there was a magical toy store that had the most magical toys in the world. They all had their own lives and personalities. This toy store has a history of more than 200 years, and the owner of the store claims to be 243 years old, and Einstein invented the light bulb because of his hints. The most important thing is that every corner of this toy store has the power of magic, and every minute and every second of magic is showing off the wonderful power that it gives to toys. One day, the owner of the toy store declared that he was going to die and left the entire store to the young female manager. All the toys in the toy store went down with the departure of the old owner, until the young female manager discovered the secret of magic and began to believe that she had the ability to take over the toy store, the toy store returned to the way it was before.

This is such a lovely fairy tale that will tell children some truths in life through simple stories and vivid characters. What "Fantastic Toy Store" conveys to children is a kind of character that is the most basic and necessary for a newcomer, that is, sense of responsibility and self-confidence. Of course, the reason that really attracts children to go to the movies is the magical toy store, which must be a serious paradise for all children.

Of course, the premise of saying this is that you completely treat the film as a naive movie dedicated to children. You also have every reason to say that you don't believe that there is such a toy store in this world, because you are already an adult, and growing up makes you more sensible and realistic. You are the very dedicated but unflattering accountant Henry in the film. In the eyes of adults, there is no magic, no flying toys, nor any imaginary world in the minds of children. Natural films are destined to become naive and ridiculous children in the eyes of adults. movie.

Compared with the various fantasy movies that have been surging in recent years, "Fantastic Toy Store" is so stretched. Take the anthropomorphic words of toys, they can't be compared with the famous "Toy Story" in the 90s. Comparing "Charlie's Chocolate Factory" with this film, the film is blamed for being filled with too many traces of imitation, but it still cannot compare with the gorgeous fantasy world created by "Charlie's Chocolate Factory". Too many comments describe this film as an idiot and childish film that children watched, that is, there is no gorgeous special effects scenes, no exciting and tense plot, and Dustin Hoffman’s superb acting skills are also Was wasted in such a mediocre story. However, on the contrary, I was moved by the film’s simple stories, simple characters, and so-called toys that only fly around the sky. Yes, it is such a naive film that a child watched, which touched the heart of an adult and allowed people to believe that the childlike innocence, which has long been lost by us, is still waiting for us in a certain corner alone. Looking for.

I like the point of view conveyed by the film, that is, many things have their own reasons and values, and have their own magic and light. If we believe it, then I can see it. If we don’t believe it, then We will never see. Even if it's just a leaf on the ground, even if it's just a doll with messy hair and a fairy tale book that we have already put on the bottom of the box, it seems rationally that they are just a kind of inanimate matter created by humans, but when these things record A period of our lives records the people who have been with us, then these originally inanimate things will be full of vitality in an instant, just like suddenly being given magic. In this way, each of us should have reason to believe that there may really be such a magic toy store in this world, where all our childhood dreams are stored.
