Childhood is happy, painful is growth

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...

    The subject matter is good, the theme is good, "the film is as its name" is very, focusing on reality is cruel, there is no whitewashing and showing off famous gimmicks, but the guide is sincere: from anti-war to family repair to drifting away, the relationship between the three The transitional part is quite smooth, especially the second half, so that the father-son relationship is far less than the nanny scene.

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.
