6What people say
that part where Paddington cures that man's depression by just cleaning his windows and letting the sun come in? that's what happens to me when I watch anything involving this little bear.
I feel like people joke about this movie’s progressive prison politics with a wink, suggesting they weren’t an intentional/thoughtful choice for this children’s movie, but there’s a part where the warden is reading a bedtime story over the loudspeaker and only reads the line “It turns out the monster wasn’t such a monster after all.” A very clear notion that, it is intentional! And maybe the entire point! That prisoners being kind, misunderstood humans as deserving of respect and luxury as the rest of us is not an irony-laden punchline, but a genuine thing that children need to recognize as a possibility. Love love love this franchise where Paddington singlehandedly renovates the prison diet without a concern for health and Christopher Nolan cameos as a horny cop.
