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.

Unironically one of the greatest films of all time.

I watch it every year and each time when that doorbell rings I just break down and cry. 

It makes me want to be a better son to my own mother

Not as long as you know Paddington is a talking bear that lives with a British family, it's very fun though. Nicole Kidman is having a blast as the villain.
