I came across this film by chance on the plane, and I have mixed feelings after watching it. I never thought about the story behind the Winnie the Pooh story, and I took it for granted that it was a fairy tale written by a loving father to his son. With such a father, such a childhood is what a husband could ask for.
But the father is actually a father who is full of war wounds, and the child is also a child who grows up with the nanny in the neglect of the parents. When the father and son were alone in the country, they both had the happiest days in their lives. The father and son jointly created the Hundred Acre Forest. Pooh and his friends and friends, these stories are not only their happy memories, but also become the whole world. Happy memories of people in the world afflicted by war and depression.
The ensuing success also upsets the balance and warmth, and the child is forced to pretend to be the "Christopher Robin" in the book, and become the "circus foal, go out and sell your book" as the nanny calls it. This extra burden makes growing pains even harder for children to bear. So he resented his father, resented "that bear", and only joined the army and went to the battlefield to leave all this was his only choice.
But after the baptism of war and the test of life and death, the child saw Pooh's power from another angle. It was the shackles of childhood for him, but for others, it was a peaceful, beautiful and stable world, and it was the hearth of his hometown. Stories are the greatest healing for all. So he understood the original intention of his father's writing and untied his own knot. In the end, the father and son sat in the former Hundred Acre Forest, understanding and comforting each other. Although Pooh was from the whole world, it belonged to them at first...
