Wow. I was not expecting that to cut so deep. I cried multiple times in the BEST WAY.
Even if some of it was a little cliche (like the broken pot thing)...I don't care. I loved it.
My expectations going in were low, yet...that movie was what I needed tonight.
Delightfully existential. My favorite themes were the ones of gratitude for the little moments, and the profound beauty of everyone being imperfect but "struggling together."
Also enjoyed the spiritual themes…
I genuinely had trouble staying awake and was fighting falling asleep in the theater. Which is not normal for me.
I don't get it... what's the big deal with everyone loving Paddington?!
Ok so the acting wasn't always amazing, and the voice-over was cliche. The production could have been better and had some serious faults. BUT the message was powerfully communicated and well-executed. I think this film accomplishes what they set out to do. I was impressed by how they told the narrative and the way they represented characters on both sides.
I was shocked by how EXTREMELY graphic it was, but I'm glad they didn't shrink back. Kudos to them for…
Showed my BFF this gem from my youth. So much nostalgia.
No idea if I would feel the same way about it if I watched it for the first time today as an adult.
Also...who knew Tom Felton/Peagreen would grow up to be Draco Malfoy and Julian Dorn?! Wow!
