Believe or not believe, choose by yourself

After watching it, I think this is a somewhat "Chinese-style" American movie. Because it clearly gave the theme and central idea, although it looks like a children’s film, obviously, no child will really like the film’s complex and strange fantasy toys, or not like it. , Will not understand.
I feel that using more than 80 minutes of time and so many fantasy toy scenes, especially with such a cast, is ultimately to express such thoughts or reasoning, which makes me a little unconsciously resisted by this film. It seems to be back in middle school. When school starts, I always happily read the excerpts from the novels in the Chinese books. I read them with gusto, but when I really want to learn in class, I don’t like it. Because the plainly simple ones will become complicated, and the plainly typos will become false. All descriptions are meaningful, and all statements must lead to a certain central idea. In fact, when the author himself wrote, maybe he didn't have those ideas that were later imposed. It's just like I have always felt that when I act bravely, I won't have the thoughts of the critical juncture that I recalled later in the interview.
The film says that one story is over, and a new page is opened, which means that another story begins. The film also said that it would be a shame not to wear so many hats.
The film also says that he dies is enough to describe life. "That's all. Nothing more." The
film says a lot and is full of philosophical words. This is obviously not meant for children, so I don't think it is a children's film at all. But to us as adults, it seems a little bit dull and a little preaching. It feels like we deliberately put some ordinary thing in a beautiful bag, and we took the effort to take it apart, and finally saw, Oh, it turned out to be it.
Magorium told Mahaney that to make the wood manifest, all you need to do is to believe in it.
When Mahaney said, I believe in it with my entire heart, the wood really obedient.
Therefore, Henry, who doesn't believe in magic, can't see the magic of the magic toy store, so he is the "alien" in their eyes, and at the beginning, they are also the "alien" in his eyes.
It's like in daily life, we are an alien in the eyes of some people who are different from us, and they are also in our eyes. We will not understand each other, unless one day, we also believe in the same beliefs as each other.
The film tells us that when you believe with all your heart, even impossible things will become true.
But this kind of beautiful belief, I am afraid that only children will believe it. I can't believe it. Maybe, I am too old? Even Henry, who is in a suit and shoes, has a childlike innocence. He will play the family together with Eric, so that he frightens other people's mothers and thinks that he is not a normal good person.
So I really don’t know, is it good or bad to be an adult with a childlike innocence?
Maybe these are just films that came out of my eyes, and it was originally meant to say something else. The same film reflects different thoughts because our eyes are different. So, I can only say that there is no bad film, just because we have different experiences and therefore have different eyes.
