"Paddington 2" is the most positive reviewed film in the history of cinema and it came out in 2017, beating "Citizen Kane" directed by Orson Welles. Imagine that? Anyways, I love this film. I didn't mention it in the review but this a "perfect" family film. It has everything - comedy, action, moments of wonder & curiosity, drama, but most of all, this film has heart and that heart is the character himself - Paddington. The cast in the film great, even to the villains. Hugh Grant was great in this film, you can tell he was having a blast playing a villain and made it so self-centered, it's great. He's a character you can fall behind because he goes all the way as who he is and what he wants. I was impressed to take in the fact that it's a live action film with a CGI bear and honestly, I didn't even notice. I mean, you can tell it's fake but they way they animated Paddington and what they have them do, took a lot of consideration. I was too convinced and hooked on the bear, the sweet and courageous bear named Padddington that can turn a criminal into a friend. Imagine having a buddy like that in your life? E-Zone, fuck Baby Yoda. Paddington is the guy you want on your side. He's the "voice of reason" and all that's thanks to his Aunt Lucy, which is the basis of the whole plot itself. It's hard for sequels to out-do the first film, but this surpasses it (respectfully) at a level that pulls the heartstrings. The film only goes higher as the stakes get tough for the bear to clear his name. When times get tough, stay strong and follow through with the faith you got but also take matters your hands.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
My name is Ray Salazar, and this is Morning Real.
If I see it, I review it. It's a three
to four.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Two hundred minute or so podcast of films that I
review of all ages, of all kinds, all countries, technicolor,
black and white, reverse, infra, red, animated, drawn, whatever I
see it, I review it. Now today I'm very happy
to talk about this film called Paddington II. What, Ray,
(00:34):
You're reviewing Paddington two?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Man, you know why because recently this year, about a
couple of months back, I read this article thanks to
Google about the most reviewed, the most top reviewed film
of all time, right, and I'm just like, all right, well,
I'm pretty sure it's Citizen Kane, right, yeah, right right.
If it's not Citizen Kane, it could be what the
(00:58):
Seventh Seal, nor Seventh Ze, maybe Star Wars, a New Hope.
No Paddington two. Paddington two, that is Paddington two to
twenty seventeen live action animated comedy film written by Paul
(01:19):
King and Simon Farnaby, directed by Paul King, based on
Paddington Bear by Michael Bond, which ironically, this film was
dedicated to Michael Bond because he had passed away the
year that the film came out, So it's a good
film to honor a man's life right. Produced by David Haymon,
(01:42):
starring Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent,
Peter Capaldi, Hugh Grant and Ben with Shaw. Cinematography by
Eric Alexander Wilson, Edited by Mark Everson and Jonathan Amos.
Music by Dario Barrionelly Production Companies Heyday Films and Studio
(02:07):
Kanal Studio Kanal. There's a good film, Man, the best
film of all time or the best reviewed film of
all time, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Man like over Citizen Kane. That's quite a stretch.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I mean, this film has it all as far as
like what you see in a dramatic maybe comedy film,
and there's a lot of comedy in this film. I mean,
it's it's it's a film that's really like focused on
adults and children and the like. It's a family film
(02:42):
of sorts. You know, it's a little little edgy, you know,
but it's it's wholesome as a whole because even when
you see the violence in that film, it's you don't
see no blood, you don't see no gunshots. You know,
it's it's tame as hell, but crazy that a film
as tame as it as Paddington Too Is. It gives
(03:03):
you enough to be wondering about what's going to happen next, right,
So to not give too much about this film, because honestly,
this is a film that I wish everybody could watch,
because it has everything you would want in a film
as far as you know comedy, there's slapstick humor. There's
(03:24):
moments where Paddington just messes things up, but like for
the sake of his generosity, right.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Of who he is.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And honestly, when you watch the Bear Paddington, it's crazy
to see how the at least in the world of
the film of Paddington Too, right, humans live amongst bears,
or at least that bear in partic right, or like
the couple of bears that are in the franchise period.
(03:54):
Humans are aware of Paddington, of his existence, the fact
that he is a talking bear that could walk up
right and live amongst humans, right, And this isn't going
to be triggered by the sight of blood or you know,
a raw piece of meat, you know, this is just
what it is, right, and we accept it. I accepted,
and honestly, the focus is not really on that, but
(04:17):
this film is really about acceptance, you know, like when
you think about it, all what Paddington wants in his
life is to see on Lucy again. And obviously on
Lucy and on Lucy's husband or whatnot pretty much saved Paddington.
And this is kind of like shown you know in
(04:38):
the beginning of the film, which is cool because I
would not have not known that, right, and they didn't
need it, yeah, because it is a clear indication and
reminder of how important that person On Lucy is to
Paddington and in his life and his development as a
as a being.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
The whole plot of this film is to basically to
see on Lucy again.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Right. She lives in another country and it's her birthday,
it's coming up. Paddington wants to do something really nice
for her, and what he really wants to do is
pretty much send some things to her, right, And that's crazy.
He wants to like give back and and make money,
(05:25):
and baby wants to fly her in right to London
because that's where he lives. Right.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But guess what burglar.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Crashes into this store and one night because Paddington he
can't get a regular job really, you know, because he's
kind of like a walking liability. But the fact that
he's a bear, you know, and then that sucks enough
as it is, right, but he doesn't care, man like
he's he's determined to make that money so he can
fly Lucien on her birthday and whatnot and just show
(06:00):
hurt London because that's what that's the bond that they have, right,
like through it's through a place, right because it's been told.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Right, So.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Paddington witnesses a burglary right of this book that he loves, right,
it's like a it's a book that flips open and
shows all kinds of stuff from London, England and all
that stuff, and he wants to send that to her,
but guess what got burglarized. And he's chasing the burglar
down but he just couldn't catch up to him, and
(06:34):
the cops are just kind of easily convinced that it
was Paddington that did it, and obviously with no evidence,
and you know, the burglar is kind of like a magician,
you know, like just disappeared right before his eyes with
a touch of smoke. It just happens, right, and Paddington
ends up in jail and it sucks ten years in jail,
two from prison, right, And that's where Paddington's charming just
(07:00):
comes alive, right, because he is a good influence to others.
And it's crazy how in the film he is sort
of constantly being challenged to pretty much do the wrong
thing or to have a negative mentality of like life
and people, right, because hey, guess what, he's in jail. Well,
you know what, maybe I am a criminal, maybe I
(07:21):
do deserve here. Like he's like, nah, that's not going
to enter my mind, and it does not enter his mind,
and he makes friends out of it, you know. And
it's a children's film, you know, it's a film directed
towards you know, the general audience.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know, it's wholesome. So it's not crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But to see Jackie Gleeson, But to see Gleeson play
an angry like prisoner chef and still manages to like
make you like like him because I mean he's scary, dude,
He's at least he's scary to like everybody else. Right,
But like Paddington's like, well, you know, I got something
(08:02):
on my sleeve, right, And it's funny how food kind
of like turns things around and gives gives the chef
some heart, dude. And that's cool, man, And it's funny
how it works, you know, because next thing you know,
it turns out the chef knows knows his way around
this prison.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I mean, he's been.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
There forever enough to know about it and decide, you
know what, We're gonna break out and guess what, I
owe you a favor, and boom, here's the favor. Come
with me, right, and Paddingston's like, like, well, I also
am I gonna make it. I can't just wait on
my family to figure out the crime. And that's crazy too.
The family's on it, right. They're not convinced that Paddington
(08:45):
is a criminal. There's just no way. They just know
it by heart. And it's crazy how like and any
other ordinary family film, that's it. There's nothing else that
could happen. There's no like, no detectives, no no, nothing,
right but this family. His family's determined to get Pattington
(09:05):
out of jail. And it's crazy how the events come together.
Because Hugh Grant's character, the guy who plays the burglar
who's an egotistico eccentric actor.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Hugh Grant's amazing in this film. Has this guy.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Man, you can tell they had a bunch of fun.
You can tell that, I mean, Hugh Grant, man, he's
been in Hollywood for a while, you know, and then
out of the spotlight. And you can tell when like
when you write a film and you write a part
for a certain character, or you write a part for
a certain actor, or you feel like, man, you know what,
(09:40):
maybe this actor can come to pull this off. And
you can tell that Hugh Grant really put himself into
that character. And it's nice to see that man like
Hugh Grant can pull it off. If you can play comedy,
he can be charming, he can be just extra and
it's great man. And I love how the act works out,
(10:01):
how the event, the things that happened, how they tie up,
the family gets closer to what's going on. Paddington determined
to do his own investigation and trying to like catch
this guy and then figures out that that Hugh Grants
the guy. And it's crazy how I mean, I'm gonna
(10:21):
go back to the prison part, you know, the prison
part of the whole like film, right, And it's crazy
how you might think, like, oh, he's in prison, how
can this go about? Where can this go? And it's
crazy how Paul King was able to write scenes where
it builds up to the point where like some just
(10:42):
gotta go down where Paddington has to get out of prison,
whether it's an escape or a fucking legal formality type
of issue. Well, nah, he's gonna escape. He's gonna have
to break the one he's gonna break. Some of the
principles that aunt Lucy told him. Is aunt Lucy like
pretty much raise them and pretty much like taught and
(11:04):
just guided Paddington how.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
To like how to live life right, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Like how to like treat others with respect and like
see the good in people and like you can change
things around. And even up until the end of the film,
like it's he always upheld the un Lucy principle and
you get to see it him succeed because here's a
character who really like you can tell that he was
(11:34):
you can tell that Aunt Lucy is a huge thing,
huge being, huge miracle in his life, you know, because
if they had not saved them, you know, there wouldn't
be no Paddington period. And it's crazy how film like
this where it's really a live action film with CGI
(11:57):
because Paddington is a CGI bear.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He does not exist.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
There is no real bear in any of the shots
of the film. And I actually thought it was very
impressive because I mean, I guess if you see hog
or fucking she hog, I guess you can make the
connection and feel like, oh my god, just like being
like nah, dude, like nah, Paddington is is somebody who
(12:24):
we kind of all should kind of be or take
note from, because he always saw the good in people,
no matter what, you know, and he's been like dealing
with humans all his life, you know. And it's crazy,
like he doesn't see like he doesn't see those things.
He just sees what's inside. And it's funny how he
doesn't have to like say those words. How there's no
(12:46):
scenes that depict a certain like scene like that, and
it just happens to work that way. So I'm gonna
give this film four out of four tokues. Man again,
watch this film. It's a really good film, man, one
(13:06):
of the best films I've seen in a while. I'll
say this, it's a really good film. The cinematography is great.
I love how the cinematographer was able to set the
scenes correctly. It's live action and we're dealing with a
fake bear, you know, And the acting is so believable
as to how the shots are set up, as to
(13:28):
how the characters interact with each other and with the
CGI bear, it's really flawless. You don't really think about
how there is no actual bear there, you know, realistically.
I mean it's there, you can see it, but like, realistically,
there's no bear. It's basically like maybe a person in
a CGI suit of sorts, or maybe they're just no
(13:49):
one there at all, you know. And a lot of
good films are like that, even the fucking Avengers films, right,
But I didn't even notice that until honestly, maybe like
minutes after film, Like, holy crap, I just saw a
film with a fake bear in it, and it really
moved me. It taught me something, and it's a good influence.
(14:10):
Maybe that's why it's so well received because and maybe
I mean, this film came out during the Brexit era
or the Brexit situation in like England and all that
stuff the UK, and I'm pretty sure this film has
a lot of like discourse of that Brexit situation. So
(14:30):
maybe if I did my homework on that, maybe I
can see more influence that I was put on because of
the film.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, But either.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Way, I urge everybody to watch Paddington too. I'm probably
gonna watch the first Paddington and see what that's like.
But this film's kind of hard to beat. You know,
it has everything there. You know, has morales, has perspective,
has comedy. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry,
it'll make you wish to be a better person. Check

say this, it's a really good film. The cinematography is great.
I love how the cinematographer was able to set the
scenes correctly. It's live action and we're dealing with a
fake bear, you know, And the acting is so believable
as to how the shots are set up, as to
(13:28):
how the characters interact with each other and with the
CGI bear, it's really flawless. You don't really think about
how there is no actual bear there, you know, realistically.
I mean it's there, you can see it, but like, realistically,
there's no bear. It's basically like maybe a person in
a CGI suit of sorts, or maybe they're just no
(13:49):
one there at all, you know. And a lot of
good films are like that, even the fucking Avengers films, right,
But I didn't even notice that until honestly, maybe like
minutes after film, Like, holy crap, I just saw a
film with a fake bear in it, and it really
moved me. It taught me something, and it's a good influence.
(14:10):
Maybe that's why it's so well received because and maybe
I mean, this film came out during the Brexit era
or the Brexit situation in like England and all that
stuff the UK, and I'm pretty sure this film has
a lot of like discourse of that Brexit situation. So
(14:30):
maybe if I did my homework on that, maybe I
can see more influence that I was put on because of
the film.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Right, But either.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Way, I urge everybody to watch Paddington too. I'm probably
gonna watch the first Paddington and see what that's like.
But this film's kind of hard to beat. You know,
it has everything there. You know, has morales, has perspective,
has comedy. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry,
it'll make you wish to be a better person. Check
