Where to pick up the bear? ——A few words about the architectural background (no spoilers)

As an old witch who has no childish innocence, she has never liked this subject matter. Just out of admiration for the original author's "insight into all things", I read both 1 and 2. Although this story happened in the UK, it poked the hearts of the Chinese very much. After all, it is conservatively estimated that 50% of the country’s population is picked up by railway stations, and the other 50% are picked up by trash cans.

Closer to home, back to the movie.

Personally, as a city image promotional film, "Paddington 2" was made impeccably, at least better than the previous one. The logic of the play is smooth, the grass snakes and gray lines are tightly connected, and the actors' performances are also in place. Although I have not always been cold on the New Year theme, I still have to admit that the degree of completion is high. It's just that the theme is too straightforward and sometimes it's a bit embarrassing! I feel like it’s almost time to sing "The golden mountain of Elizabeth Tower shines in all directions."
I don’t know how much money the London Tourism Department invested. People can't help but yearn for new students, even the prison is so harmonious and friendly.
Film reviews that simply comment on the plot, there is nothing to write about, because the whole setting is too unreal and too illusory. Let’s talk about the buildings that are real, but are just beautified by the use of film-making techniques!
This "Paddington Bear 2" as a whole unfolds with a treasure hunt plot, and the clues to hiding the treasure are hidden in an antique pop-up book.



Scene 1. The Great Budapest Prison!

The scene of Paddington's imprisonment should have the highest memory point in the whole film. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between this paragraph and the "Budapest Hotel". There are references to color and custom design.
What's more interesting is that, unlike the "Budapest Hotel" which relies entirely on man-made environments, this section of "Paddington 2" is born out of a real prison.
Shepton Mallet prison. The photos obtained from the Internet over the wall are 100% similar to the scenes in the movie.

The only difference is that the current modest prison has no matte tones, and the overall appearance is cold.
Just think about it, as a prison, how can there be love like a fairy tale? After checking relevant information, Shepton Mallet Prison not only lacks love, but its history is brutal. According to legend, this prison was built in the 17th century. The executed prisoners were buried on the spot, and ghosts and monsters appeared at night. It was not a peaceful place.



Scene 2. A cathedral with beautiful nuns!

St. Paul's Cathedral, appears on the inside page of the treasure book. Here, Seugrant pretended to be a nun and found the letter C.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is a Renaissance-style building with a Latin cross seen from above. That is, the improvement of traditional Basilican architecture, the cross is not symmetrical up and down, but the lower section is longer. Do you remember the long passage that the nuns walked through? It is the best portrayal.
St. Paul’s Cathedral has the second largest dome in the world, and the cross frame is particularly suitable for overlooking. It appears in many movies.

For example, another children's film with London as the background is "Happy in the World", but "Happy" is not shot on site due to the times. Similarities The two movies are both animated and real-time filmed, and the pigeons are both "fake".

Scene 3. The antique shop where the only criminal case occurred is

Portobello Road, Portobello Market. The view of the antique shop is here.
This kind of door face at the corner is very regional.
The theft of antique shops is a turning point in the movie, and it is also the only place where you are suspicious of watching a complete movie.
I haven't figured it out, since the role of Xiu Grant just wants to make money and invest in his acting career. The boss said that there are a lot of jewels in the store, which are far more valuable than antique books.
Looking for treasure with a book, is it still nothing more than antique jewellery? If you look through more in the antique shop, you may be able to make up a large box. It seems that there is no difference. Why bother?


Scene 4. Picking up the bear train station

"Paddington Bear" gets its name from Paddington Station. The author of the original comic once bought a lonely teddy bear at this station. And he himself also said that the yard with the image of the Paddington bear, during World War II, was hung with a sign with a name on it, and a war orphan with a suitcase. The grandfather of the first Chinese antique shop also popularized this history.
As the most important in this series-picking the location of the bear, Paddington Station appears in Section 1.2.


It is now a modern station, but part of the structure still retains the style of the last century, with a spacious waiting station supported by a metal frame structure.

The most impressive thing is the above. I checked the rest, and there are many places involved, such as Little Venice, etc., and I will post them for your reference.

finishing writing the above, let's think about the soft power output by the way. All in London, it's ugly to say that even an ape-man skull can't be dug out. There must be a lot of history that is better than it in the country, but the surroundings and the movies produced are all very attractive. Accompanying this movie is a bear hunting activity throughout the city. If the holiday is abundant, I would also like to take part in it.
Seeing what others are doing is savory, I can't help but feel sour. Some things don't rely on blows, not brute force, but on brains.
Open the curtains and look down, the East Fourth Ring in the setting sun is still tearing down the sign. Why bother? Rather than being bold and resolute, it is better to be targeted.
I have no ability to say anything, cook a bowl of noodles and eat it.
