Think of this year's Zhejiang college entrance examination composition topics:
"Everyone has their own life coordinates and good expectations for the future. Families may have different expectations for us, and society may also give us different roles. In the ever-changing real life, individuals and families, society, There will inevitably be gaps or dislocations between them. How do you experience and think about this? Write an article and talk about your views.”
In fact, Josh is not the kind of man with a childlike innocence expected by the boss and his girlfriend, but a real child. And is a very fast aging child. It can be seen from the time when the friend found the company, the way he answered the phone and the words he spoke were no different from a real adult.
As an adult for a long time, you will gradually lose the perception and creativity of a child. It can be seen that the idea of Josh's final electronic comic book was not easy. He was inspired by the chance that children would go to the newsstand to buy their favorite comics from the beginning of the month. This is not what he "wanted". That kind of toy, but the idea of "observing children" as an adult, this scene separates Josh from the other children. His little friend hung up his phone angrily, too, exemplified the division.
The idea of a multi-branch, multi-ending comic book may have been novel in 1988, after all, many of these games were launched on PCs (Orange Light also belongs to this category), and players still like it today. However, as the plan in this film, it mostly failed. Reason: The cost is too high. Products sold to children require small profits but high turnover, and the high cost prevents the product from being widely sold.
It was when others questioned the cost that Josh seemed to wake up after being hit hard, and finally made up his mind to become a child. He realized that if he didn't change back, he would be completely "old" mentally.
He's been an adult for so long, and a rich adult, that he forgets that $19 is a lot of money for a kid.
This is echoed at the beginning of the movie when Josh just became an adult: 1. A friend stole money from his home to let him stay in a hotel, and Josh was very reluctant when he took the money; 2. The first time (as an adult) With a salary of more than $100, the two children are going crazy.
Josh is very smart and adapts too quickly to the world of adults: work, money, women... At the same time, the most precious "childishness" in him is quickly lost.
The boss and his girlfriend admire him because they mistakenly believe that he is a man who always has the ideas and creativity of children. After the baptism of life, his heart is still full and round. This is what society expects.
But he can't actually meet this expectation, because children always grow up, and he grows faster than children of the same age. When he grows up completely, he will be no different from ordinary adults, or even worse than ordinary adults, because adults have knowledge and experience, and he is only 13 years old.
Everyone deserves to be loved and appreciated, but considering the entire film, the boss and girlfriend love the little boy in Josh's body. But the little boy always leaves. This kind of love is actually similar to a man who only loves the appearance of a woman when she is young.
