In 2006, on the 80th anniversary of Pooh's birth, Pooh left the 2,308th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, becoming one of the few movie stars to be named on the Walk of Fame in a cartoon image.
Before Winnie the Pooh was acquired by the Americans, its birth had a rather fairy tale experience.
Recently, the heartwarming work "Goodbye, Christopher Robin" tells the interesting experience of creating Pooh.
Christopher Robin, the owner of Winnie the Pooh, is a cartoon character that swept the world, and his status at that time was no worse than that of Harry Potter now.
Why does the film use farewell as the theme?
"Goodbye Christopher Robin" ostensibly involves the creation of Winnie the Pooh, but it actually describes the father-son relationship between Pooh author Alan Alexander Milne and his son Christopher Robin Milne.
Allen has experienced a war and has post-war trauma. The sudden loud noise will make him nervous. Even the explosion of the balloon and the buzzing figure of the flies will make him stiff and unable to move.
After the war, he continued his career as a writer, pouring his entire experience into plays, but soon he got sick of pleasing others.
After the birth of his son Christopher Robin, his family moved to the countryside, where he finally found his peace.
The main line of "Goodbye Christopher Robin" is the father-son relationship, and the dark line is the reflection on the war. To a large extent, Winnie the Pooh was created to bring joy and happiness to people after the war.
The inspiration also came from Christopher Robin, who had a happy childhood.
Allen was indifferent and alienated to his son Robin at first, especially even Allen's wife lost her son because she was afraid of the war coming again, because in the face of war, every young man has a gift to change the world. Against evil hearts.
Therefore, Robin was brought up almost by servants since he was a child, and his relationship with his parents was mediocre.
Until this rural paradise, Alan and his son have more time to get along. After the wife and servant left because of trivial matters, the father and son had time to communicate all day, and this endless and vast forest gave them space to continue writing fairy tales together.
Robin is mature, smart, and likes all kinds of animal dolls. Due to being alone for a long time, he has an imaginary fairy tale world to accompany him.
Allen was gradually infected by the fairy tale world created by Robin. He joined his animal friends, and they had embarked on various adventures. A writer, a child, literature and innocence collided to create the cleanest fairy tales.
Allen has always had the desire to write anti-war novels, but the market at the time did not recognize it, because no one wanted to experience suffering and pain again.
In getting along with his son, he found that he could use fairy tales to heal the pain of war. This "curve to save the country" method actually reflects an anti-war spirit.
The teddy bear that his son carries all day, and the black bear that he likes living in the London Zoo was integrated by Allen and turned into Winnie the Pooh in the cartoon story, and his son is undoubtedly the owner of the cartoon bear, Christopher. Robin.
The other cartoon animal dolls, Piglet and Tigger that the mother gave to Robin one after another were also written into the story one after another, and even the nanny who took care of Robin on weekdays became one of the characters in the story.
The adventure story of Winnie the Pooh is like a magic wrench that unscrews the valve of happiness. For the first time, parents and children around the world have experienced touching and warmth after World War I.
Allen also healed his post-war wounds by writing, and those horrific memories were filled with Pooh's adventures, and he really came out of the war.
The cartoons sold out, and Winnie the Pooh, especially Christopher Robin, became superstars.
At this moment, Robin's childhood ended quietly, and the forest, the fairy tale between him and his father suddenly ended.
Various interviews, interviews, and advertisements interrupted Robin's childhood one after another. He was probably the busiest child at the time, meeting the cabinet, dealing with advertisers, and even eating ice cream outside.
Everyone wants to deal with Pooh's owner, the real Christopher Robin.
Allen felt that even as an author, he was far less influential than his son.
The outside world has seriously disturbed Robin's childhood and announced the early end of his childhood. This Robin's life has laid a foreshadowing of tragedy, and it has also seriously affected his relationship with his father.
Pooh turns into his nightmare, subjecting him to all kinds of humiliation and teasing during his adolescence.
After the outbreak of World War II, he still decided to go to war. He needed to get rid of the identity of Christopher Robin through the war and get a new life.
This undoubtedly broke the heart of the mother, and also caused the father Allen to fall into deep self-blame.
Robin gave Allen the most beautiful fairy tales, but Allen took away his son's childhood and gave the world to outsiders, except that he did not give his son a chance to play quietly in it.
Although Allen stopped writing new stories about Pooh in time, the damage was irreparable.
World War I and World War II appeared one after another in the film, which must have its great significance, and the transformation of the father-son relationship is closely related to it.
After the film entered the third act, Allen wanted to rebuild his relationship with his son when he had an inner conflict,
while Robin wanted to gain a new identity and start an adult life without Pooh.
War is the best story conflict and inner baptism. The surviving Robin returned home. He finally understood his father's views on war. He saw the healing effect of Pooh to people all over the world. Although he sacrificed his childhood, But let more people come out of the cloud of war and get new life.
He no longer hates Pooh, but sees its value, this transcendent individual perspective replaces the original personal perspective, bringing the film's thematic closure.
The father-son relationship was repaired, and they both said goodbye to their "Christopher Robin" and entered a new stage of life.
Allen issued his own anti-war manifesto.
Robin never took a penny created by Pooh in his life. He believed that if he took it, then the best memory of him and his father would become work, not life.
He doesn't want business and reality to erode his unique childhood memories, and the happiest time for him and his father can't be stained and stinky.
Those experiences in the forest are play, not work, and the two must not be confused, let alone equated.
After World War II, the father and son got the epiphany of their characters, found their true identity, and achieved their special purpose.
After saying goodbye to Christopher Robin, they finally return to the simple true relationship of father and son.
Robin grew up and bid farewell to the shadow of childhood completely;
Alan turned from a fairy tale writer to an anti-war writer, contributing his own strength to resisting war and pursuing peace.
"Goodbye, Christopher Robin" is to let us say goodbye to the past, and find our true self through continuous exploration and separation.
Don't get lost in the power of the outside world, rely on the flow of inner consciousness energy to complete the proof of self-existence.
