London on the other side of the world, the ancient and meaningful city, gave the audience a beautiful visual feast at the beginning of this film. The brightly lit city in the twilight, the winding Thames River, the London Bridge, the twinkling Ferris wheel, the lights of thousands of houses in the background, and the pattering rain outside the window, covering the city in the twilight with a layer of haze Clothes are enough to grab the audience's attention. So I only heard the child sitting next to me exclaim: It's so beautiful.
Before the film started, I was worried that the film was not exciting enough to attract the attention of the children, and when Paddington and aunt and uncle appeared, the warm home in the rainforest, the life of the three bears, and the smiles in life could not help but laugh , which made the adults and children in the theater burst into laughter.


The story itself is ordinary enough. The bear, who suffered a broken family, had to travel across the ocean, hoping to continue the beauty of many years ago and find a warm home in a human world. When it arrived after a long distance, it found the indifference of the human world at the station, and the rush of people was like a sea of ​​people. It seemed that no one wanted to pay attention to a bear that appeared at the station. Until the Browns showed up.
Of course, not everyone is welcome to Paddington. Mr. Brown has only a kind of hostility towards Bear because he is concerned about the safety of his children; Judy is also somewhat repulsive to Bear because he is worried that the boy he likes will think she is weird. Like other animals who have just entered human society or humans who have entered a strange and bad environment, Paddington is also a little bear who is prone to trouble, and things like flooding the bathroom are bound to happen.
It is looking for the person who brought them human civilization many years ago. It always believes that that person can give it warmth in human society. Although the Brown family is warm enough, it knows that if its existence will affect the life of the Brown family , it must leave.


In the process from beginning to end, it is like a homeless child, longing for warmth and love, but often falling into loneliness. The Browns, because of their disputes, their distrust, made it feel like an island. When he decided to leave, the weather in London was like the night he arrived, it was rainy and rainy, and he wrapped his woolen coat tightly in the cold wind. In the days that followed, I slept on the streets.
Invisibly, it has become a member of the Brown family, including Mr. Brown, who also likes it deep down. So when it was in danger, the family appeared in time to help it escape from the predicament. As a result, the bad guy got the punishment he deserved, and Paddington can finally live happily with the Brown family. On the other side of the ocean, as the man in the past years said, he found a warm family.
The fallen flowers on the walls of Brown's house are blooming again, more prosperous than ever. Because of love, because of warmth. Everyone's life is slowly getting better.


At the end of the film, the child next to him said that the bear is so brave and clever. Yes, Paddington, with his intelligence and bravery, as well as his inner kindness and dedication to beauty, found his relatives and home in a strange country. This is the inspiration that children who watch the film can get from it. At any time, as long as they are brave and kind, they can always seek beauty, or it is enough to maintain a spirit of not giving up.
Although loneliness will come at any time, because there is hope in my heart and support for beauty, the severe cold will slowly dissipate.


The London in the film is beautiful enough, with clean and tidy streets and residential areas, natural museums and buildings with strong historical charm, and later saw many people say that this is a promotional film for London. It is not surprising that the beauty of a city can be shown to the world through films.
In the film, there is also the indifference of London, the neglect of Paddington at the station, the darkness and cruelty of the Society of Geographers, etc. The two sentinels have diametrically opposed attitudes. But the beauty is still there.


While waiting for the opening of the film, there was a little episode, there was a problem with the screening, and the film could not be released for a long time, so in the gap of nearly 20 minutes of waiting, the small screening room became a paradise for children to play. In the darkness, only the children's wanton laughter was heard, which seemed to be more exciting and fun because of the darkness.
The staff had not turned on the lights, so a mother in the back row turned on the lights of her mobile phone, and the white screen was clearly visible. The child also seems to have found something more interesting. The little boy uses the light of his mother's mobile phone to pose various shapes with his hands in front of the mobile phone, and project them onto the screen through the mapping of light, so various kinds of things appear on the screen. The shape of the peacock, the flying bird, the dog, and some other animals are all displayed on the Internet through the changes of the hands.
It's a child's world, imaginative and fun, so it's easy to be happy.
I only hope that the world of children is colorful, and they can maintain their kindness and persistence in beauty, and the same is true for adults.
