As a biopic, it was a bit bland. It was supposed to tell the intricate relationship between father and son, but was dragged down by the extensive narrative shooting technique, the whole film was lengthy and without ups and downs. Billy Moon had a happy childhood. His carefree life in Aston Woods, Sussex made him the most talked-about child in the world, because inspired by him, his father, Mr. Milne, created world-famous classics - -Winnie the Pooh!
Pooh's good friend Christopher Robin was modeled after Mr. Milne's son Billy, which brought Billy's much-anticipated popularity and ruined his supposedly naive childhood. Billy became more and more like a propaganda tool as the commercialization became more and more like a shadow of Christopher Robin, which made him very unhappy. After that, the departure of the only nanny who was inseparable with him made him feel a sense of loss and loneliness that he had never felt before. Although Milne promised not to write any new works about Pooh and to give his life back to his son, that lost childhood joy was nowhere to be found.
Just like what Billy said when the father and son quarreled on the day before joining the army when he grew up: "I asked you to write a book for me, but I didn't let you write me." With obvious resentment to his father. No matter how Milne explained it at this time, it was pale and powerless. In fact, I personally think that Mr. Milne still cares about the happiness of his son's life. Sometimes it's just that his wife is too utilitarian, but he is bitter and can't say anything. Just like when the nanny told the truth to the couple before he left, Milne felt a lot, but as a gentleman, he couldn't blame anything, just promised not to create works related to Pooh; and his wife, The rebuke of the nanny is full of vitriol, meanness, and has a strong sense of hierarchy and inferiority.
At the end of the film, it was relatively heartwarming. Billy, who had experienced the baptism of war, returned to his father. When they came to the old place of creative inspiration again, the conversation between father and son became warmer. Billy talks about the experience on the battlefield, mentions Pooh and the song about it...and Billy is completely relieved! ! !
The apology that his father wanted was also rejected by Billy. He said: "Childhood is wonderful, and the pain is the growing period." At this time, Milne felt extremely relieved, and only said: "Come on, go home, I think".
The picture seems to freeze at the moment of Billy's happy childhood, and Winnie the Pooh appears around the father and son again. Hand in hand, go home together. "Xiao Lan, how old are you when I grow up?" "I may be a hundred years old!!!"
