The story of "The Magic Toy Store" is simple and straightforward. If there are philosophical words, it seems to be piled up in piles. The performance is so shallow, and the layers are the same. No matter how the movie can't be melted into that room of toys that are so gorgeous to death, I once thought it was possible for the toy store to go dark like this.
What attracted me to keep watching, and even want to watch it a second time? I think, is to recall that forgotten childhood.
Someone asked me yesterday: Thinking about our childhood, is it really happy? I was stunned. Most adults like to be nostalgic. Whether they are in their 20s, 30s or 40s, they always like to talk to others about how they played and how happy they were when they were young. This has also become one of the fastest familiar topics between half-baked people. However, when you were a child, were you really happy? In fact, we all forget our childhood. What I see now is just my own wishful repainting of my childhood.
This film reminds me of a long forgotten childhood. Thinking of those bizarre thoughts at that time, thinking of daydreams on summer afternoons... At that time, I believed that I would have magic, I believed that when I grew up, I would be a wanderer, I believed that all the stories in the books and TV had happened, I can't wait Looking forward to growing up, I always feel that there is a legendary life waiting for me not far away. For this reason, it was worth living such a long lonely and boring childhood. To this day, I still live a dull life, and it will continue to be dull, and there are no surprises in my life. Even if there is any change, my gullible heart is to back away with the shield held high, instead of opening my arms and rushing towards it. I have long forgotten those beautiful and fragile dreams, and the lonely waiting of childhood, but I just talked about how happy we were in childhood.
I saw this kind of forgetting childhood in "The Magic Toy Store", not innocence and happiness, but loneliness and waiting.
"The Magic Toy Store" is a fairy tale, but I don't know if children can understand it. Mr. Margrim has a magic toy store with the most amazing toys in the world, each with its own life and magic. The children are having a great time here, and all their whimsy can be satisfied. According to the owner, the store has a history of more than 200 years, and on this day the owner said that he was leaving this world and leaving the store to a young female manager. Although the female manager did her best to hope the old man stayed. But Mr. Margrim was gone. After he left, the magic toy store also lost all its magic power and fell silent... After a period of gloomy days, the female manager finally realized that as long as she believed, she could also have magic power to run the store. In an instant, the gray and dead magic shop was colorful and full of vitality.
Many people who are playful should be full of coveted to this incredible toy store. This is also the most attractive place. To me, it's just that there's not enough magic and magic about these toys, not enough, too little to be enjoyable.
I really like the lonely little boy inside. Maybe it's too different, he can't make friends all the time. Maybe in the toy store, he doesn't feel so alone. Funny, he wanted to befriend Henry, the new rigid accountant. He asked the accountant, do you want to play? The accountant replied that he wanted to work. He asked again, what do you do when you stop working. The accountant said, I never stop working. God, this looks like a lot of people. And his hobby is actually collecting hats. He has collected all kinds of hats in a room, there must be hundreds of them. And, he said he'd worn them all, and he said what's the use of them if I don't wear them. A clown hat, making the accountant who sent him home happily clown. The little boy plays the king and the "clown" sings and plays a story about dragons. While they were having a good time, the child's mother heard the news and regarded this "old and unruly" adult as a strange person with ulterior motives. Alas, adults are not supposed to play.
I really like that monkey doll with a strangely sad expression, and always stretches out his arms weirdly hoping to hold something. Its movements are very slow, and its expression is so sad, it feels cold and sad. It's a finishing touch.
I don't like Mr. Margrim, I think it's a little weird and a little tricky. At first, he didn't like accountant Henry very much. He only saw what he wanted to see, and only cared about his tables and data. Until he communicated with Eric with pen and paper through the glass in the workshop, he said, "I never stop working." I felt that he was full of sadness, and when he and Eric played role-playing with fun, I was greeted with scornful eyes, and suddenly let me I laughed out loud and fell in love with him. Maybe many people like the heroine Mahaney, the former Star Wars princess. I think she's average too, starting to show such a fondness for the toy store that she doesn't care about Henry. In fact, she didn't realize that she was the same, obsessed with her piano dream, and Henry who was obsessed with table books was no different. So as soon as Mr. Margarem left, she took a break, and the toy store died...
A lot of people said the film was a failure, a parody of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and the story was thin and childish. I think, sometimes, you watch a movie to watch the movie itself, and sometimes you watch a movie to watch yourself. Just like there is a magic door in a movie, whatever content you turn to, what happens when you open the door. Maybe, that's it.
