If you had a wishing machine, would you want to go back to your childhood?

Twelve-year-old Josh made a wish to grow up in front of the wishing machine, because the things he wants to get are always limited by age and height. After a night of strong winds, Josh woke up and found that he had grown up, and his body and voice had changed into the appearance of an adult. Surprised, he secretly ran out of the house, trying to find a wishing machine to help him do so, but when he arrived at the amusement park last night, he found that everything was gone, including the wishing machine. Like a child who made a mistake, he wanted to tell all this to his closest people when he got home, but was regarded by his mother as the bad guy who kidnapped his son. So he could only go to his good friend - Billy. At first, Billy was also panicked by Josh's explanation, but when Josh excitedly sang their "Song of Friendship" all misunderstandings were resolved Well, maybe this is why the world of children is simpler than the world of adults. Josh followed Billy obediently and found the hotel where he stayed at night, which didn't seem to be very safe. Hearing the violent quarrel next door and the gunshots coming from downstairs, he was still the little Josh who huddled in a ball on the bed. The next day they decided to find a wishing machine to bring Josh back to twelve years old again, but the answer they waited for was that there would be news of the wishing machine in a month, and they were thinking about how to spend this month outside. time, so they thought that they needed to find a job. The director didn't set too many thorns in their job search. By chance, Josh got the opportunity to work in a toy company. The office life seemed to be out of tune with Josh. Busy in the narrow lanes of the office. Josh, who was paid a salary, seemed to have taken a considerable amount of pocket money to eat and drink with Billy. At night, Josh, who was holding his stomach, pretended to be an investigator and called his mother to ask what to eat for a stomachache. medicine? Eat every few hours? Now he is no longer the Josh who curled up in fear because of the noise outside on the first night, but he still misses little Josh who misses his mother when he is vulnerable. That playful little Josh, still unable to resist the temptation of toys, met the boss who came here to investigate the market in the toy store. He chatted with Josh, played games, and listened carefully to Josh's comments on the various toys in the market." User-style complaints", it is these pertinent complaints that Josh has become the company's deputy manager. His job is to play various games and then give opinions. Of course, such a leisurely job will lead to dissatisfaction with colleagues, especially Paul. At a party held by the company, Josh chose a gorgeous white tuxedo to dress up to attend, but was teased by his well-dressed colleagues from the adult world. Susan took Josh from the party for the purpose of seducing Josh, and Josh's innocence led to Susan's set of approaching routines of adult men and women seemed to turn a deaf ear, but it turned out to be completely different. Susan "got the bait". She experienced the freedom of running her head out of the roof of the car and galloping into the wind, the joy of being in the sky on the trampoline, and playing in the amusement park. The thrill of a roller coaster ride, experiencing how pure and happy it is to date a boy who is innocent, who has not been honed by society. But a month will come, and Josh is going to confess to Susan, tell her about the wishing machine, tell her that he is only thirteen years old, and tell her that he is homesick. Josh has grown a lot in the process. After just "growing up", the timid little Josh who hid behind Billy has now become a Josh who knows how to take responsibility in love. For example, confessing to Susan is a kind of growth, He chose to tell Susan what happened instead of leaving Susan with a bunch of mysteries. After Josh and Susan were together, the dress began to be more mature and stable, not as beautiful as at the beginning, and the busyness of work made him have no time to meet Billy every day, and even no time to connect to the phone. These details actually echo his romantic relationship with Susan. Lovers, exhausted work, friends who don't have time to maintain relationships, this is the adult world, and maybe that's why he chose to go back. Josh found the wishing machine through the address given by Billy and chose to return to his childhood.

    1. The magic of this movie is that whenever you feel that the male protagonist is mentally retarded, please reflect on whether you are an adult who has been alienated by society? When are we ashamed of our innocence? Take pride in being full of interests? 2. This movie is more extreme [sarcasm the ugly face of adult society], a child "turns" into an adult and still only likes computer games and toys, all his fun is here, and his boss wants to He makes money, his colleagues are jealous of his promotion, the female colleagues around him want to have a relationship with him... Only adults have these not from the source but from their own reward system, the interests of their own genes, and the society. For alienated things, only children can pursue truly meaningful things. Realistic examples are Steve Jobs, Musk and so on. 3. The other thing is that this film has a very thorough explanation of the market, users, and needs. I really don’t believe that this is what a movie screenwriter can think of. For example, the market report is rubbish, and their boss knew it in 1988. This product should be done, and field research should be conducted to find the employees who are best at playing with toys
