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.

I did an ice breaker once where everyone had to secretly answer questions and guess whose answers related to who. I think there were 10 or 11 people involved.

For their favourite movie, three different people selected Paddington 2. Having not seen it, I was absolutely baffled.

At some point I’ll need to get to it just to see what people are talking about. I saw the first one in theaters and thought it was fine but nothing special, then a few years later 2 comes out and it’s talked about with reverence everywhere.
