A Curse for One, A Blessing for All
William McInnes The McLeod River Post Goodbye Christopher Robin is a story on how the famous Winnie-the-3ooh was born from one boys’ imagination and his father’s talent for writing, and quickly became a widely known fren]y as people were all but foaming at the mouth for more Winnie-the3ooh and Christopher Robin. The book reached far and wide across the globe as people scrambled for a chance to remember or recover what their childhood was like before WW .
1ow this is about Winnie-the-3ooh, but it is not to be confused with the new film called Christopher Robin starring Ewan Mcgregor that released earlier this year. This has a more serious tone that describes the Mourney that is Winnie and how he was born. Alan A. Milne played by 'omhnall Gleeson , often called by his nickname Blue, was a successful playwright before he fought in the First World War which left him with 3TS' post-traumatic stress disorder but it was unknown back then, so no treatment was offered. Throughout the film Blue tries to fight off these flashbacks caused by everyday sounds. Finally, when Blue decides that he wants to move to the country to write something meaningful that could prevent another war, him and his wife, 'aphne Milne Margot Robbie and of course Billy Moon, or more widely known as Christopher Robin Wil Tilston relocate to a house in the countryside.
The family hire a nanny called Olive who Billy calls 1ou, she raises Billy as his parents attend various holidays and events but eventually Alan is left alone with Billy through a series of events. Reluctantly Alan takes Billy on one of his daily walks through the woods from which he sees a potential story from his son and calls his illustrator who is a close friend to come down and see. After a while the story Winnie-the-3ooh is born which sweeps Billy Moon, or now known to everyone Christopher Robin into the spotlight and away from the woods, he is forced to make many public appearances which he finds confusing and frustrating. For all the Moy that Alan A. Milne brought to the world, he failed to see what he had done to his son. Although he did stop writing about Winnie when he finally saw what he was doing, but it was already too late, Winniethe-3ooh had been released to the world and there was no way to reverse what had been done. Billy Moon had unknowingly become Christopher Robin no matter how he tried to change that and all anyone would ever see when looking at him.
