Review of Paddington (2014) by Gemsicle — 23 Mar 2022

Most movies that have a protagonist enter a new world of their own is a recycled plot for a family movie, and Paddington complies with it with something better than expected. This is a film with highly focused slapstick comedy and a script that is virtually utilized perfectly that is like the live-action version of Wallace and Gromit. My spirit animal has been a bear because it is a creature that I wish was on the list of . Paddington comes from the grovey land of Peru and is forced to evacuate when his land is dismantled. When the film shows the young cub leaving his home, he shows the audience the feeling of what it is like to move out on your own for the first time, just like when fresh high school graduates are moving into college dorms or their own residence. The cub takes two boats to its destination: one on water and the other he hides in from the humans. The bear on this film’s poster is called Paddington by the Browns, an human family who find Paddington at a London train station, unanticipated and subtle to all the passengers. One day, while the Browns are doing their weekday routine, Paddington loses his subtlety when he becomes a hero after he sees a man drop a wallet that is believed to be his, but is eventually tackled and unveils wallets from his overcoat that tells his true identity is a theft. Worthy for his valor and recognition, he catches the attention of an animal tracker played by the diligent and intelligent Australian actress Nicole Kidman that has a very adjacent English accent.

Paddington is a film loaded with charm, mischief, exhilaration, and magic created by director Paul King and producer David Heyman from the Harry Potter film franchise.
