Paddington in Peru

Plot

Paddington in Peru is an exciting and heartwarming adventure that takes the beloved bear from the streets of London to the lush Amazon rainforest of Peru. The movie follows Paddington as he travels to visit his Aunt Lucy, who has retired to the charming "Home for Retired Bears" in Peru. Meanwhile, the Brown Family has grown accustomed to the Bear's company, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown happily agree to join Paddington on his Peruvian adventure. Upon arriving in Peru, the group is immediately immersed in the vibrant culture of South America. They marvel at the colorful markets, stunning architecture, and breathtaking scenery that Peru has to offer. However, their relaxing vacation is disrupted by a series of mysterious events, which set them off on an unexpected journey. As the group navigates the Amazon rainforest, they meet an array of fascinating creatures, including a group of playful monkeys, a wise and agile sloth, and a friendly capybara. However, these new friends do not seem to be providing the much-needed information the group requires to solve the mystery. They lead the group deeper into the jungle, with a massive waterfall becoming the only barrier that remains between them and escaping this Peruvian adventure. Aunt Lucy proves herself to be a witty and clever companion, utilizing her expertise in navigation and tracking to guide the group through the dense vegetation. Meanwhile, Jonathan Brown and his friend Jaime navigate through the perils of the ruins in order to create an escape plan. The more they move deeper into the jungle, the more apparent it becomes that Jonathan's talent for 'avoiding problems' is a trait that becomes necessary. Under the spellbinding environment that surrounds them, Aunt Lucy reveals the reason for the group's peculiar invitation. It transpires that a rare golden chrysanthemum, a delicacy from the Home for Retired Bears, has grown at the topmost point in a part of the Peruvian rainforest. If they manage to grasp this floral delicacy and return it to its homeland, Aunt Lucy's gift to her nephews would bring countless hours of joy to the elderly that reside at the Home for Retired Bears. The adventure intensifies as Paddington's instincts and intuition kick in. Having noticed signs of an ancient Inca temple not far from their current location, he deciphers the secrets of the labyrinthine ruins and reveals that they must move with haste as they traverse up the mountain via a perilous route. However, along the way, the group becomes divided as Paddington takes on an unwieldy role that elevates Amanda to lead an expedition upwards. Amanda finds herself walking through dense jungle and making her way towards an arduous climb. Utilizing the mental strength that the Home for Retired Bears taught her, she rises to every challenge that emerges. Eventually, a stunning valley rises into view. It's here that Paddington discovers that he indeed has the golden chrysanthemum exactly at the summit. Elated upon seeing this golden gem, the Brown Family joins the Home for Retired Bears as soon as they can for their long-deserved celebration. As they reach their destination, the movie comes full circle, and Paddington has one more surprise up his sleeve. The mission, undertaken without much thought, bears the most favorable outcome.

Having watched the first two films, I didn't realize that Paddington is essentially an immigrant story wrapped in the sweet guise of an adorable bear cub. The moment he finally obtains his passport after a decade of living "under the radar" in Britain is, upon reflection, filled with countless unspoken hardships; I don't find myself simply happy for him. He is an indigenous being from the Peruvian Amazon rainforest, coming to the Western "civilized world" in search of a family, yet in reality undergoing a thorough education and assimilation. He wears a trench coat and hat, and habitually says "I beg your pardon." Even if he manages to find his tribe again decades later, shedding the clothes that symbolize "civilization," he will still find himself caught in the awkward in-between space, an identity straddling two cultures...

Paddington's charm endures, this time transporting us to the vibrant landscapes of Peru. Prepare for another heartwarming adventure as Paddington navigates new terrain, spreading his signature marmalade-tinged joy wherever he goes. A bear-illiant journey that proves some bears just want to have sun!

This movie is overtly political, with a transparent and heavy-handed colonial undertone. It's like the London version of "Our door is always open, welcoming you with open arms." Foreigners who believe it will lose out, but the British genuinely believe it themselves.
