"Paddington Bear": Melt and Dissolve

Paddington likes to wear that red hat, as if by doing so it is one step closer to humans. It uses what it understands about the gentleman's etiquette of taking off hats and taking the initiative to greet, to show good to everyone it meets, as if in this way it can get equivalent respect. It dared not step on the escalator until it read the slogan next to the escalator and picked up a dog, and then gave itself the psychological hint that it could step on the escalator like an orthodox Londoner. Everything it does is to integrate into London and into human society.

This is not the psychology of a bear, but the psychology of a foreigner. This psychology contains two opposites, one is the fearless courage of the innocent and the ignorant, and the other is the low self-esteem caused by loneliness. So you will see that it can both chase a thief bravely-although it mistakenly regards the thief as a purse-losing person, you will also see that it chooses to leave silently when it thinks that the Browns are unwilling to continue to take it in.

You can also see self-reliance, persistence, and patience from this stranger. It walks through all the addresses that may be the target of its search by itself. This is not something everyone can do. When faced with hunger and homesickness, it did not eat the last piece of bread hidden in its hat. It really looks like His uncle taught him when he was a child, and kept it until the last critical moment.

It may never understand why when it takes off its hat and salutes others, most people ignore it, because in this respectful world, one thousand take off salutes may be less than once on the front page of a newspaper to win "respect". Fortunately, Paddington doesn't need to understand this.

A caring explorer, but his family is not kind at all. It was like the guard at the gate of Buckingham Palace. Some offered assistance to Paddington, who had never known each other, while others drove it away. The film is a journey through Paddington, showing the world to the audience. Those who are beautiful may be demons; in big cities and the so-called gang of etiquette, in fact, people are not as good at etiquette as a bear.

The fondness of eating jam strengthens Paddington's simplicity. It is precisely because of such kindness and simplicity that he wins the warmth of home. It has something that the British "gentleman" does not possess. These things melted the hearts of the Brown family and made them understand and love each other better.

The film is full of high-quality humor and meticulous attention to detail, and it outlines a character with a distinct personality in a few strokes. Among them, the father of the Brown family who didn't want to take any risk, but finally came out at a dangerous moment, and the grandmother who had few lines but no words were the most lively. Coupled with artistic music and rich British elements, the film deserves to be one of the best British films in 2014.

As Paddington, a foreigner, merged into the Browns, he was initially integrated into Britain and humans, and his lonely heart was finally freed. The relationship between the members of the Brown family is also more harmonious. The father can let go of risk awareness and start scientific experiments with his son, and the daughter will bring her boyfriend home to show her mother. They understand each other better, and all kinds of knots are solved. Fusion and dissolution are the two key words for all the changes brought about by Paddington, a stranger. When you are in a different place and need to face loneliness, when your family is full of contradictions, perhaps this " "Paddington Bear" can really become your soul chicken soup.
