Goodbye Christopher Robin: To Winnie the Pooh fans the script was not centered on the creation of Winnie the Pooh as it was centered on A.A. Milne's relationship to his son and Milne's post dramatic stress. The movie's ultimate theme is the effects of fame on the son Christopher Robin. It is a very thoughtful film, well written, acted, and filmed. I felt like I was actually watching the Milne family. The actor playing Christopher Milne was phenomenal and this was the first time he ever acted. This is NOT a Disney type film and not for people looking for an easy "feel good" family film, it's moody and sad and It captures the consequences of a terrible war, and the difficulties of social strata in England, the corruption of childhood, among many other things. BUT...It does not diminish my love for Pooh and his friends and my love for the hundred acre woods. It only has increased my empathy for this whole family, and their struggles. Again, this is a serious, imaginative and special film. I don't recommend it for very young children and as I said above and will say again, "This is NOT a Disney type film and not for people looking for an easy "feel good" family film. But it is a film worth seeing and I hope you do get to see it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a very interesting review. I hope I have an opportunity to see the movie in the future. Hope you are having a very blessed Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see that. I read a bio of AA Milne and it said Christopher ended up really disliking his father for the fame he caused.Very sad.
ReplyDeleteGreat review Toni.
Thank you for your review. I didn't know this about A.A.Milne. Have a blessed day, my friend.
