I watched the film "Good-Bye Christopher Robin" about the son of Winnie the Pooh writer A. A. Milne a few weeks ago. Oh boy, was that film a tear jerker. I was never a big Winnie the Pooh fan growing up but it's still hard not to sympathize with Christopher when you find out how hard of a childhood he really had. Plenty of kids dream of being famous, but little do they know what horrible things fame can do to people. Being associated with a popular book character kept Christopher from having a proper childhood and rather gave him a life he never asked for in place of it. People were bombarded him everywhere he went, kids at school bullied him all the time because of the character, he couldn't go a day without getting a ridiculous amount of fan letters and phone calls. It was very hard on him and I can completely understand why.
