We all grew up and fell in love with Winnie the Pooh as children. Now for most of us we are passing that love our to the next generation, our children. With the recent release of Fox's Goodbye Christopher Robin this has left me wondering, how much do we know about A.A. Milne and his beloved tales of Winnie the Pooh.
For those who may not know Goodbye Christopher Robin is a film that takes us to post-war England and the lives of the Milne family. A.A. Milne, an author and veteran of The Great War suffering from PTSD becomes inspired by his son to create characters that we all know and love today. The film explores the ways we heal, and the sometimes complicated bond between children and their parents especially when the child shares a spotlight alongside a treasured icon.
Staring Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Revenant, Unbroken), Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad) and Kelly MacDonald (Brave, Nanny McPhee). It is directed by Simon Curtis (My Week With Marilyn, Woman In Gold) and written by Simon Vaughan and Frank Cottrell Boyce (who you may or may not know wrote famous children’s book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) this film is sure to inspire your entire family.
While many of us will never share the spotlight with our children, I imange it would be a challenge to keep the balance of both home and fame in check. I am looking forward to seeing Goodbye Christopher Robin and to see if it changes the way I look at the iconic characters in Winnie the Pooh.
