Insights: Paddington


Paddington a movie that is not just entertaining but also heart warming perfectly made for everyone to watch. A movie that is filled with adventure and mishaps, with lessons that we must remember. For instances, we should show good manners to others, we shouldn’t just mess with the things that others own and we must show our hospitality.


It wasn’t easy for our adorable bear, Paddington, to find the home he was looking for but in the end he was able to find out that he was in the right family all along. The Brown family (only Mary Brown her son Jonathan) is the one that let Paddington live in their home in the mean time but as the story goes on Mary’s husband, Henry Brown, accepted Paddington and was willing to help Paddington also to find the explorer who his uncle Pastuzo and aunt Lucy once met. The only problem is Millicent Clyde, a sadistic taxidermist who captures, kills, and stuffs exotic animals to house in the Natural History Museum. She found out about Paddington and she was out to get him. She caught him when he was looking for the explorer who happens to be her father.



                Honestly, when I saw Millicent holding a knife with all the stuffed animals around her laboratory makes me so sad because I can feel how the animals were captured and not knowing that they’re going to be embalmed....ugh! Such pain... not knowing that you’re not going to wake up anymore because you’re embalmed while you were sleeping....gosh how cruel! I wish people would look for another way to show to people the species they have found. For example, why not just create a fake one instead of embalming a real one because isn’t that also killing? Anyways, enough with my inner animal loving personality.


                I was happy when the Brown family rescued Paddington from the cruel hands of Millicent. She deserves to be punished and she was... She was sentenced to community service at a petting zoo. Paddington, is now officially a part of the Brown Family and he writes to aunt Lucy saying that he has finally found a home.
