"Paddington Bear" is a very interesting movie. This kind of fun is not only reflected in the sense of healing brought to the audience by using the always stupid animal as the protagonist, but also reflected in the British people in the film. A serious humor, coupled with a very light-hearted plot and occasional cold jokes, and of course the narrative style around the core of the family, made this "Paddington Bear" the coldest March. A movie that makes people feel warm.
The interesting contrast is that "Paddington" is set in London. This place, known for its cold, fog and rain, does not seem to be so warm. But in fact, in the film, when a cub from a foreign land is homeless in London where it rains frequently, the kind Brown family takes it in. "Paddington Bear" highlights this feeling with a very obvious tonal contrast. The outdoor scenes are mostly dark tones such as rain and rain, while the indoor scenes use warm colors and details that represent vitality to emphasize and highlight the power of the family. Therefore, in an overall cold environment, what the Browns and Little Bear Paddington offered to the audience was just a warm family play.
Obviously, home as a core concept runs through the entire film. At the beginning of the movie, Paddington's uncles and aunts formed a funny and warm family with the young Paddington. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. An earthquake destroyed the nest on the tree that symbolized home. The destruction of the house symbolized the disintegration of the family, so the young Paddington could only embark on his own road trip from Peru to the London that his uncle and aunt said. At the beginning of the film, London existed as an image, brought by the explorer of the Geographical Society from afar, and became the distant dream of the bear family. So the earthquake ended, and the homeless little Paddington crossed the ocean and smuggled to London. At this time, it’s not unreasonable to regard Paddington as an urban wanderer. Walking in urban streets, confusion in subway stations, etc., the film depicts Paddington’s loneliness and helplessness. The emotional stimulation tied up in the home just pave the way for the Browns who walked out of the subway. Although it looks bickering and chaotic, the warmth and closeness of the family radiates from the inside out. This is also the Paddington Bear. What is missing. As a result, the homeless bear and the loving family naturally formed a connection and walked together. The film has contributed a lot of interesting passages here. The conflict between Paddington Bear and civilization is the basic cause of the jokes in the film. From the perspective of the narrative rhythm, this gag-like plot also makes people feel right. When it comes to the cuteness of this little bear and the funny easygoing of the Brown family.
Thanks to the strangeness of the Browns, it seemed very natural for them to take in a homeless bear. Take a look at the performance lineup. The master in "Downton Abbey" plays the role of the head of a family who talks about everything with data. Sally Hawkins, who plays his wife, is even more famous for playing a neurotic role and even dubbed Paddington. Ben Vishaw is also a British alternative actor, including the two children of the Browns. The daughter suffered puberty, and the son seemed to be a technological freak. Strange but not weird, this family seems to be destined to form a family, plus a Paddington bear that is even more different from humans, it is simply a weird home. However, in recent years, more and more works are willing to start from the marginal and weird, but depict the warm and humanistic care that exists in human beings. The same is true for this film. From the initial rejection of the Paddington Bear by the Browns to the end, the whole process was smoothly connected and emotionally natural, and the audience was able to feel the release of human kindness to pets.
As a result, Paddington went from homeless to home, and after a short break from division to reunion, he was disturbed by the "bad witch" role played by Nicole Kidman, and Paddington became an abandoned again. "Orphans".
This passage of the film can be sentimentally reminded of the situation of pet loss that many families have encountered. Paddington is gone, and the Browns feel the importance of this little animal to themselves. In love and family "reunion" Inspired by ", the family was able to take the risk and fight against the devil, and finally was able to win back Paddington and the family's consummation.
Obviously, this is a very family-friendly work that combines elements of roads and adventures, adding to the visibility of the film, but the overall story is easy to understand, the rhythm is light, and the performance is full of humor, which is very suitable for the whole family. Watching it in battle is quite harmless, and at the same time it promotes the values of family and friendship, and it has successfully become a model of family movie.
Of course, if the film is not simply regarded as a family-friendly commercial film, then this "Paddington Bear" is obviously full of some ideological colors. The white adventurer came to the virgin forest of South America and happened to visit The endangered animals on earth, out of the spirit of humanitarianism, white adventurers chose to keep this past secret. But his Western-style daily life obviously affected the original bear family, so the life in London and London was able to become the object of their day and night longing. When their homes were destroyed, they came to London, where they experienced the baptism of culture and the influence of ethics. The polite bear not only made people happy, but also its overly Anglicized gentleman's demeanor obviously also showed that this obviously also implies. An ideological reference, and considering the self-esteem imagination of the United Kingdom itself, the political color embodied in this "Paddington Bear" is not groundless.
Of course, "Paddington Bear" is always missing something. For example, although the city of London is presented with the eyes of Paddington, it seems that apart from the few street performers, there is nothing impressive. The place. Another example is that the conflict is too weak, and there is no surprise that is scary... However, in this cute March, there is a big white before, and then there is Paddington, a stupid and pollution-free little bear. It is enough to feel the warmth of the world in "Bear".
