A truly classic piece with a warm heart behind it. "Goodbye, Christopher Robin" tells the whole process of how the classic British children's literature "Winnie the Pooh" was born and influenced countless people. This children's book for Christopher Robin, the son of the original author Alan Alexander Milne, is not as we imagined, it is an exclusive gift from a father to his son. You can even say the other way around. It was a gift from Christopher, who was 8 years old, to his father. Winnie the Pooh not only saved AA Milne from PTSD in World War I, but also helped him complete the repair of broken British optimism. mission. "Goodbye, Christopher Robin" is not a perfect movie. It has some shortcomings, such as the emotional changes of the characters are too blunt, the story is long and the tension is insufficient, and the flashback editing does not play a role in promoting the plot as expected, but That doesn't stop it from being at the top of the must-see list. The nearly two-hour film, full of emotions that can be seen everywhere, makes the audience have a new respect for the work of "Winnie the Pooh". While digging into the creative process of AA Milne, the director continues to describe the fame and fortune brought by its success. A blow to the father-son relationship. The birth of "Winnie the Pooh" has a noble purpose, but behind it is a lonely teenager. Christopher asked his father Alan to write a book for him, but in the end it was his father who wrote a book about him and entered the world's Vanity Fair. Winnie the Pooh's bestsellers have pulled the father-son relationship that was finally repaired farther away. Alan and his wife Daphne indulge in the feasting and feasting, seeming to have forgotten their original intention of publishing a book, and even more to Christopher, who should have enjoyed his childhood happily. Pushed to the center of the media whirlpool, at a loss. The birth of Christopher Robin saved a soul injured by war, and at the same time pulled this soul into the bottomless abyss of Vanity Fair, and the solution seemed to have only one solution at the time: stop any creation of Christopher Robin. The estrangement between Milne's father and son is the main axis of all the stories and characters of "Goodbye Christopher Robin", played by Domhnall Gleeson's A. A. Milne and Will Tilston play the teenage version of Christopher Robin, a PTSD-torn World War I survivor and a lonely teenager who can never seem to feel the warmth of his parents, seemingly out of place but handled quite naturally by the director. The embarrassment of being forced to be alone at first, the company when PTSD developed, those small games in the deep forest of Ashdown, those countless dinners, breakfasts and lunches with toys, 8-year-old Christopher step by step to his father's war. The heart that was shattered to pieces came back piece by piece. And all it takes is a simple (cold) joke from his father to make Christopher smile. One moment he was still sad and angry at the brief absence of nanny Olive, and the next second he was amused by his father's explanation of why he couldn't put the knife and fork upright. The film begins with the young Christopher looking out the window at his parents who constantly leave home for dinners and trips, and ends with the adult Christopher forgiving his father on the top of the Ashdown Forest. In the end, Christopher Robin, who has grown into a teenager and experienced the baptism of war, is finally relieved, willing to say goodbye to Robin in Winnie the Pooh peacefully, and agree to let the name that has belonged to British and even world readers continue to exert his due influence . After all, this Christopher is no longer another Christopher. Behind the laughter of "Winnie the Pooh", there will always be an 8-year-old boy's warm love for his father. Fortunately, no matter what the relationship between Christopher and his father is, the nanny Olive is always by his side to support and comfort him, playing a more important role than his mother. Although the interaction between the two is far from much, But bear 80% of the film's moving. Without Olive, it's hard to imagine how Christopher had the courage and conviction to save his troubled parents. "Goodbye, Christopher Robin" is a good work, but honestly it's still a long way from good. The biggest problem is that the director is too greedy, trying to squeeze too much emotion into one film length, Mr.

    For the first time, I learned that there is such a story behind Winnie the Pooh. The father, who was traumatized by post-war stress, gradually healed his wounds while playing with his son. More war-torn masses. The editing is great, and the flashbacks are just right. Except for me, the audience was all grandparents, sobbing from time to time, yes, this was their childhood.

    Fairy tales are deceiving. Maybe the original intention was to make a warm anti-war film, but the reality is so cruel that even if the film ends with a great reconciliation and a reconciliation, it cannot cover up the incompetence of Christopher's parents, and the father is actually very pitiful, because The aftermath of the war; but the mother is too indescribable to love her children as much as a nanny. That little bear healed the world, but ruined C's life.
