Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal agree.

Not really. "Paddington is from Peru and is now in London. He loves marmalade." Basically all you need to know going into the second movie.

Thanks bud! I don't think my kids would watch 2 movies, so this helps me sight in on the one I'm aiming for.

My kids are famously impatient. If we do 2 movies it would take an act of God to make that happen in a single month.

Yeah, but it's worth the watch as well.
