Watched it last Sunday

It made me wonder how truthful the movie is, 'cause it portrayed his parents as pretty bad...though I guess it was just how upper-middle class Brits raised their kids back then. I wonder how much has changed.

Anyway, it did give me the impression that AA Milne cared about his son more more than his wife did. I find it quite sad and did shed a few tears when a particular scene involving a telegram near the end happened (I did not know anything about Christopher's life before watching this).

Also, it's sad that Christopher no longer enjoy his childhood toys or hanging out with his father because of the association with the books. And that he refused to take the money, because he more than earned it. I do wonder how the rights got sold to Disney, as that would mean even more people knowing about Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin.

I now don't know if I want to read or watch anything associated with Winnie-the-Pooh...

    The role of the little protagonist before he grows up is great. It integrates the vision of children and adults, and slowly brings out the world of "Winnie the Pooh" perfectly. It also quietly makes people feel the love and pain on the road of growth with the little protagonist. This year, "Harley Quinn" broke away from commercial films, but after "I, Tonya", she unexpectedly brought a different her to people again.

Goodbye Christopher Robin quotes

  • Daphne Milne: I you don't think about a thing, then it ceases to exist. It's true, I read about it. It's all in Plato. It's called philosophy.

    Alan Milne: Oh, philosophy. Well, I hope you know you're laughing at Plato.

    Daphne Milne: Blue, life is full of frightful things. The great thing is to find something to be happy about and stick to that.

  • Christopher Robin Aged 8: [pounds his fists onto the table] I hate her! Sack her and tell her never to come back!

    Alan Milne: You ought not to hold your knife and fork like that.

    Christopher Robin Aged 8: Why shouldn't I?

    Alan Milne: Because, if someone were to fall through the ceiling, they'd come down right there and be impaled on your fork, and then they would bleed out all over your eggs and ruin your breakfast.
