The 12-year-old Josh is too short to ride the sled, too young to catch up with the girl he likes, so he throws 25 cents into an old wishing machine in the amusement park to make a wish to become an adult.
In this way, a child becomes an adult, he smoothly enters the adult world and works in a toy company. His innocence won him everything unexpected.
He bluntly put forward his own ideas, his original creativity, his behavior and thoughts are incompatible with adults, these things that we adults no longer have, make him a winner in life.
In the movie, Josh won the approval of the company boss and the favor of the beauties. He rented a big house and built his own dollhouse.
In Josh, we found that when we only have a little knowledge, when our world has not been immersed in this world, our creativity is omnipotent. At that time, we didn't believe in limitations and were not afraid of power. The way to get along with the world was to run rampant, face the heart bravely, and face the world bravely.
What we create at that moment is pure, happy, and belongs to ourselves. That is what we really built for the world and ourselves, not for society. Because at that moment we have not been forged by the world.
When we really enter society, no, just enter high school or junior high school, we will find that we no longer exist in this way of facing the world, and that innocent world is no longer there. This world needs you to shut up, you need to be committed, and you need to live according to the rules.
From the perspective of a child, Josh believes that if a person is afraid of me, he will not beat me. And the world of adults is, because I am afraid of you, I want to beat you, and I want to beat you. This is the cannibalistic society we really live in.
The innocence in the movie won everything, and won everything effortlessly. This is a kind of idealism, but this is also one of the important reasons why we like this character and this movie.
We always hope that good will overcome evil and good will overcome treacherous. We even hope that innocence will always be on us.
However, Josh in the movie is like us in reality. After staying in the adult world for a long time, he lost his innocence and the simplest happiness, and lost his excitement for a comic book and a toy. And that kind of creativity disappears at the moment when it loses its innocence, because that kind of truly pure thing can only be created by the innocent soul.
In the last two choices of the film before him, is the choice to return? Still sitting on the life that has everything now.
He chose to go back, because only by going back will childhood return. Although it will eventually be lost, no matter how bad a childhood is, it is unforgettable and worthy of a lifetime.
Innocence, what we are born with, we may lose. Growth is painful, and the pain is so painful that it is possible to lose all of your innocence, but innocence will return. Without magic, you only need to look at the world from a different perspective, and you only need to calm down to listen to the sounds of all things. In fact, innocence is always in your heart.
