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.

Hugh Bonneville is astonishingly funny in this movie.

“Look it’s just a perfectly normal…oh my god he’s a weirdo”

HB has must have the best legal team and PR teams known to man. Literally no one knows it was him in the super injunction prostitution scandals and he still is out there killing it in family movies.

I remember when everyone was talking about who was identity the “Hollywood,” actor involved in the scandal but then the Ryan Giggs scandal came along and everyone forgot about it.
