A FILM BY: PAUL KING

Have you ever heard the Paddington station in London?

It’s a railway terminus in central London and an underground station complex.

How about the Paddington Bear? Have you ever heard of him?

Well, Paddington is an animated movie about a sweet, lovable and kind bear’s journey to London in search for a new home after a catastrophe happened back at his home in the deep jungles of Peru.

“A young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kind Brown family, who read the label around his neck and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.” – IMDb.com, written by Marmalade Films

Early in the morning during our English Enrichment Program, Ms. Eliz made us watch the movie, Paddington. This movie actually made me feel like a kid again. Me being a guy who is into action movies, well this movie brought a smile in face. Paddington is a small, sweet and kind little cub who was raised by his aunt and uncle. However, the life that he was living went downhill because of a catastrophe. He was forced to find a new home and that is where his journey to London begins.

Montgomery Clyde, an explorer, finds himself traveling inside the deep jungles of Peru. There he met a family of bears. Before he left the jungle to head back home, he gave the little cub his hat and said that they are welcome to go to London.

Years later a catastrophe happened and the little cub finds himself searching for a new home in London. He ends up in the Paddington Station in London where he is named after by the Brown Family. The Brown’s took care of him till he finds a new home. But, in the end, they adopted him and they are happy.

This movie will take you back to your childhood which is absolutely nice. The movie was funny and it inspired me in many ways. Although we go through misfortunes in life, like they say, “After the rain, there is a rainbow”. Everything will eventually be alright.
