Echo剛?cè)タ戳擞鴩裥⌒艿碾娪啊杜炼☆D熊2》,這是一部溫暖的老少咸宜的電影,既有感動的瞬間,又有滑稽的時刻。

到底這是一只多有名的小熊呢?

2015第一部《帕丁頓熊》上映的時候,英國威廉王子出席了首映禮,為這只受到全球兒童喜愛的卡通明星“站臺吆喝”。

Echo十分喜愛這部電影,決定用自己的方式表達(dá)喜愛,那就寫影評,挖一挖英國文化,聊一聊溫暖的劇情(spoiler alert,本文會透露劇情哦,還沒看的請“小心閱讀”;如果讀了我的文章后喜歡上這部電影,我會超級開心的?。?/p>

The movie starts from two bears fishing on a suspension bridge(吊橋) and having marmalade(果醬) sandwich. Lucy, the she bear,  wanted to visit London that year. All of a sudden, they spotted a cub(幼獸) clenching a log, floating in swift currents(急流). Lucy didn’t hesitate to save the cub, Paddington.

In the sequel(續(xù)集), Paddington has become the family member of the Browns. He wrote a letter to describe his life in London. Everyone was nice and welcoming, he enjoyed his life there. Their characters were present in a graphic montage(蒙太奇手法).

Aunt Lucy’s birthday was imminent(即將來臨的), and Paddington wanted to buy her a present. He went to an antique shop and found a fantastic pop-up book(立體書) about London. As it cost a fortune, so Paddington decided to find a job and save money. 

He tried to work in a barbershop(理發(fā)店), but blew it. Then he  became a window cleaner. Though he was clumsy(笨手笨腳的) at first, his window cleaning business took off(突然成功). 

British humor permeates(充滿) the plot. It won’t make you laugh off your chair with blank pranks, but will make you chuckle with typical awkwardness and inconsistent(前后矛盾的) logic. When Paddington was asked to inaugurate the opening of an amusement park, he copied Mr. Brown’s wordsverbatim(一字不差的), which caused a scene of awkwardness. 

英劇或電影中總是通過無心的實話和民族自帶的尷尬屬性讓我們會心一笑。

Well, the twist of the movie set in when Paddington found a burglar(竊賊) break in the antique shop. Sadly Paddington was recognized as the thief. He was sentenced to ten years in prison. Every prisoner had his duty, and Paddington was assigned to the laundry room. He threw a red sock into the washing machine by accident, then all the clothes became pink. 

To make it worse, Paddington challenged the authority of the cook,notoriously(臭名昭著的) scary Knuckle. The tension between them washilarious(非?;模? Paddington first complained about the food and used the baguette(法式棍子面包) to knock at his head, without knowing that he was a bully. Other prisoners crawled under the table, the jailor first announce a doctor was needed, then a priest was needed. 

(這里涉及的文化背景:所有人都知道Paddington 要被揍,所以先叫醫(yī)生;但Paddington 把番茄醬和蛋黃醬都擠到Knuckle身上后,連獄卒都覺得他沒救了,所以直接叫牧師來禱告算啦?)

BUT! This is a children’s book, we can predict there might be anothertwist(意外的轉(zhuǎn)折). The marmalade sandwich popped out from Paddington’s pocket and jumped into Knuckle’s mouth. It changed everything. Knuckle and Paddington made a deal: Paddington taught him to make orange marmalade, and he was under the protection of him. 

More than two millennia ago, a Greek philosopher and scientist Archimedes(阿基米德) said, "Give me a lever and I will move the world.” As for Paddington, orange marmalade is the lever the move the prison. The cantine in prison was renovated(翻新), wearing a new color. Even life in prison became pink and welcoming. 


Mary Brown, the hostess in the family, had an intuitive thought— the thief who stole away the pop-up book must know the secret about the book. 

As for the ending, please find it out by yourself. I couldn’t reveal more.

如果只是見過帕丁頓熊的形象,那么可能會覺得他只是一個可愛的毛茸茸的玩具。但是讀過他的故事和看過《帕丁頓熊》系列電影后,他是一個帶著紅色帽子、穿著藍(lán)色duffle coat(羊角扣外套)的彬彬有禮的??。他的露西嬸嬸教他要看到每個人身上好的的一面,用這樣的方式他總是能激發(fā)別人內(nèi)心溫暖的一面,無論是溫莎花園的鄰居們,還是監(jiān)獄里的囚犯們。他很真實,最純的真實,認(rèn)定的事情就要堅持下去;他很有愛心,為了讓他的嬸嬸了解倫敦,打工掙錢要買下那本立體書;他熱愛生活和自然,喜歡吃也最會做柑橘果醬。他成為了有愛心的布朗一家不可或缺的一員,一直生活在愛與善意的環(huán)境中的帕丁頓也是這么看待世界的。愿這只小熊為我們帶來一個暖意融融的冬日。
