The film Paddington was inspired by the Paddington story published by British author Michael Bond. Paddington Bear may be unfamiliar to us, but it is a household name in the UK.
The film, directed by British director Paul King, is a combination of real people and computer CG animation, setting the background of the story in the contemporary era. He used perfect special effects technology to create the bear's vivid expression and cute body movements, and finally presented a realistic bear.
The main actor of this film is of course the bear, Paddington, who is from Peru and likes to eat jam. Its dubbing is completed by the British actor Ben Whishaw. Bears are even cuter.
Mr. Brown, played by actor Hugh Bonneville, differs from his "Downton Abbey" appearance as Lord Earl, who plays a stern father in the film who worries about accidents at home all day long.
Mrs. Brown is played by actress Sally Hawkins, who in the film plays a housewife who, although a mother of two, still has a touch of innocence, girlishness, and is warm and helpful.
The villain in the film is played by Nicole Kidman, who plays Millicent, a vicious museum taxidermist in the film, who is obsessed with taxidermy bears.
The entire film begins with Paddington Bear leaving Peru and embarking on a ship bound for London. The whole article takes the bear coming to London to find a home as the main line, and tells the story of such a search for a home. But simple stories have extraordinary truths. The narrative of the film is unfolded from the perspective of Paddington Bear, taking us to know London, the Brown family, and the meaning of home.
1. Everyone is a mirror of others.
In the movie, different people's different attitudes towards Paddington reveal each person's different character, and Paddington's reflection of each person's attitude reveals its character.
The first time Mr. Brown saw the bear, he thought he was a troublemaker, and we could see that Mr. Brown was a troublemaker. When Mrs. Brown saw the bear, she approached him very friendly and offered to help. We can see that Mrs. Brown is a very enthusiastic person. When their son Jonathan saw the bear and found out how he got to London, he thought it was cool, and it was obvious that Jonathan was more adventurous. And their daughter Judy, on her way to school the next day, told Jonathan not to tell others that there was a bear in the house because she didn't want others to think she was weird, and it could be seen that she had some respect.
And Paddington the Bear knows very well that you can't make everyone like you, some people will like you and some people won't. For those who like you, be grateful for their liking, and for those who don't like you, just continue to be friendly. So it's friendly and courteous to everyone.
2. Happy families are all alike, and unhappy families have their own problems.
The appearance of Bear Paddington has gradually exposed the potential contradictions of the Brown family. The Brown family, only Mr. Brown objected to keeping Paddington the bear, which made the family do not understand.
And the way Paddington gets with everyone is exactly the way everyone expects Mr. Brown to get along with them.
When dealing with Mrs. Brown, he would always chat patiently, instead of quarreling at every disagreement like Mr. Brown; when dealing with Jonathan, Paddington the bear quietly accompanies him to play the train, instead of being like Mr. Brown, who always It's disciplining him, making him think Dad is annoying; when he's with Judy, Paddington the Bear accompanies her to learn languages and teaches her the language of bears. It was also the company of Paddington that brought them joy and warmth.
3. Home is home when all the family members are there.
Mr Brown re-emphasized the cub's presence was unsafe the second time he messed up the home. The departure of Bear Paddington has caused family conflicts to break out and escalate the conflict.
They found Paddington's farewell letter on the dining table, and when her daughter Judy asked if she should go to Paddington, Mr Brown, who was standing in the corner, said, that's all, he doesn't belong here. Here, the director is bounded by the dining table, with Mr. Brown alone on one side and the rest of the family on the other, showing the opposition of both sides. The son Jonathan was disappointed and questioned him; the daughter Judy ignored him and returned to the room, and Mrs Brown was also very sad and worried about Paddington's safety. It was Mrs Bird who woke him up. This family needs bears just as much as bears need you. Each of them has long regarded Paddington as family.
All the family misses Paddington Bear, Mrs Brown goes to the police station for help, Jonathan plays with toys alone, and Judy is absent-minded. When Mr. Brown got home, he looked out into the deserted corridor. At this time, the director used the flowers painted on the wall of Brown's home to indicate that the family's trust and love were in crisis, falling like flowers.
4. Family members can solve all difficulties.
After learning that Bear Paddington was taken away by Millicent, the whole family went to the museum together. In the process of saving Bear Paddington, family conflicts were resolved one by one. Daughter Judy proposed to go down the sewer into the museum, she approved her mother's previous proposal for sewer; Mrs Bird went to divert the attention of the security guard and went to drink with the security guard; Mr Brown allowed his son Jonathan to use blasting tools and allowed his son to turn off the electric switch; Brown The lady was moved by the bravery of her husband, Mr. Brown, who climbed out of the window to save Paddington the bear. It was he who woke Paddington and apologized for his previous mistrust.
After the family worked together to rescue Paddington the bear, the family understood each other better, understood each other better, loved each other more, and became more united. It's love that makes them a family.
Since then, the family has lived a happy life. When Mr. Brown got home from get off work, he heard laughter in the kitchen. At this time, the director used the flowers on the wall to indicate that the family has regained trust and love.
In the process of the Brown family getting along with Paddington Bear, the process of accepting Paddington Bear is also a process for each of them to face themselves, accept themselves, and understand their family members. Through Paddington Bear, find yourself and learn to understand and love your family in a better way. And Paddington also felt the love of the Brown family in the process and regarded them as family. He finally had his own home.
From the perspective of Little Bear Paddington, the film makes us realize that in a family, the most important part of getting along as a family is to understand and be understood, to love and be loved.
Although we are not accompanied by Paddington Bear in our lives, nor do we use Paddington Bear to solve family problems, we will eventually find a way that suits us, because we love our family.
May we all have a warm home of our own, where we can truly be ourselves, where we love each other and never give up.
