social identity

The male protagonist changed from a 13-year-old boy to a 30-year-old adult overnight, and everything caught him off guard. At every stage of growth, people will show the characteristics of that stage. In their teens, they should play frantically, play games, and like to hunt for novels. In their thirties, they should be mature and steady, and wrap themselves under masks. Therefore, when the male protagonist who grows up shows behaviors that only teenage boys can do, people around them often cast a strange look, and the male protagonist seems to be careless and continues the madness of 13-year-old children. A kind of innocence, won the favor of the boss, and harvested a love. Slowly, the male protagonist got used to the life of a 30-year-old man, and was infected by the surrounding environment. He began to wear a suit and tie without any features, and began to play the role of an adult. He also began to ignore his best friend because he was busy, and the toys he designed no longer considered fun from a child's point of view, but more considered costs and benefits. I think at this time he began to think about whether he wanted to grow up like this. We all play our part at different stages. Sometimes, we also look at ourselves, is this still me? Why would I do that?
I have always felt that people are terrible and pitiful. We can have lofty ideals, but we are often in invisible shackles, which include the identity given to us by society and our environment. We tend to go with the flow, be influenced by the environment in which we live, and slowly shape ourselves according to the requirements of society to conform to the value standards of this society. I think, if the male protagonist doesn't go to this toy company when he grows up, and he doesn't meet such a boss and female protagonist, his subsequent identity shaping will be completely different, but he will still become the little boy he lives in. The norm of the environment to an adult, whether consciously or unconsciously.
From this point of view, everyone is a product of society, and everyone’s current thinking and value judgment standards are given by the society in which they live. But fortunately, we are human after all, and every unique individual will have a reflection and can choose to continue this kind of life or choose another way of life. In the end, the male protagonist made his own choice.
We still have choices.
The above may not have much to do with the movie itself, but only from my own feelings.

    Supplementary standard, I saw it at CCTV Zhengda Theater in high school. It was translated as "Flying to the Future". The children made a wish and grew up one night. They also made a counterattack and won the heart of a big sister. They successfully helped a book company to transform and upgrade with children's thinking, and I was deeply impressed. The bridge section is: the female lead goes to the male lead’s home, the two play trampoline together, and the male lead designed an interactive book, the traditional book plus electronic animation form, can decide the ending of the book according to the reader’s preferences and choices. Very ahead of time. After watching this film and then watching Forrest Gump, I feel that Xiaotang’s acting skills are very clever.
