5:48 pm
to meet you all. it is a relief that paddington has made such sweet friends. would you excuse us for a moment. what are you doing? talking to the nice men. we cannot trust these men. look at them, talk about a rogues gallery, hideous. as for that bearded baboon, he has not got two brain cells to rub together. we can still hear you, mr brown. that was the light you turned off. the microphone has the sign microphone next to it. you laughed four times in that clip! before we went on a you said is it just a family film to sort of implied that... the thing is making afamily
5:49 pm
implied that... the thing is making a family film is real hard. it made me laugh and i am 5a. it will make kids laugh. ben whishaw‘s voice is perfect. there is a mixture of childish and old beyond the years. there are lots of slapstick sequences. there are lots of slapstick sequences. paddington is trying to raise money for the book. there is a scene in the barbers were it all goes hideously wrong. their action sequences where paddington is in peril. you don't notice the interaction between the cgi and the physical world. it was not until the end of the film where i thought they blended it really well. i think making a really good family film is rulli hard and i thought this was really charming. the fact it was the second one i expected the law of diminishing returns to kick him, it didn't. the bit where you see the different characters coming in... i think it is really, really funny. i think it is really, really funny. i think you would really like it.|j suppose what i meant was it is a
5:50 pm
film you would take the kids to but if you are not taking the kids? go on your own. after the first film so many people said i don't have kids but i want to see paddington, is it fine? yes, believe me, the cinema will be full. it is for all ages and i think anyone with a heart and soul can enjoy it. looking forward to it. the florida project, rather different. tipped for oscars? i love this. the name comes from the name that walt disney developed his community of tomorrow in florida which then became what disney world. it is a community of people living in more rundown motels beyond the boundary of the theme park. it is essentially people living on the poverty line. all the purple paint in the world cannot hide the fact they are living in the red. the central character is moony he runs riot while her mother has a struggles to make ends meet. the

manager is played by willem dafoe. this film portrays a harsh world of economic reality is that you see it from the kids eyes. it was shot on a combination of digital and 35 mil. it looks beautiful because you see the wonder that the kids see. you see the strange buildings, the orange orange world, the strange wizard of souvenir shop. also the weird grass and trees and cows which you don't expect right next to the concrete jungle. you get you don't expect right next to the concretejungle. you get right you don't expect right next to the concrete jungle. you get right into the lives of these people. it is the idea that the kids are living in poverty in hard circumstances but you are seeing the world through their eyes. there is hardship. there are real their eyes. there is hardship. there a re real tea rs their eyes. there is hardship. there are real tears in this but as a portrayal of an innocent view of the world, it is also very streetwise and sassy, it is terrific. he never feels like a tourist in this environment. i thought it was

touching and moving. it will make you laugh. starts with celebration by kool and the gang. this is a team unity of today and it has its feet in the ground but its head in the air. film three is really intriguing, professor ma rston film three is really intriguing, professor marston and the wonder women. it is all about the creator of the comic book character wonder woman. now writer and director angela robbins goes back to the creation of the character. we have the professor of the title played by luke the professor of the title played by lu ke eva ns. the professor of the title played by luke evans. we have his smarter, sharper wife brilliantly played by rebecca hall and belle heathcote's all of berne. they invent the lie detector, they start a nonconformist family unitand detector, they start a nonconformist family unit and they come up with the strange, book character who will go on to make millions. here is a
5:53 pm
look —— olive byrne. this is perfect. i will inject my ideas right into the thumping heart of america. i will get a real artist to draw it properly. she is an amazon princess who lives on an island of all women. paradise island. and a man crashes onto the island. and she wears a burlesque outfit. it is athletic. and she wears a silver bracelet. it deflect bullets. we love you so much but nobody, and i say this with all the compassionate truth in my heart, nobody will ever publish this. the story flips backwards and forwards. it starts with the investigation of the comic strip and they saved is all full of spanking
5:54 pm
and perversion and bondage, explain yourself. the rest of the film looks back at where this character came from, about the alternative family unit, about the way these people become involved in role—playing and s&m. he is a psychologist who thinks everything comes down to dominance, submission and compliance. the women ta ke submission and compliance. the women take him with a pinch of salt. but it becomes a portrait of tolerance in intolerant times. at one point rebecca hall says we cannot be in love because the world would let us. he says we have to be what we want to be. it is a film about alternative lifestyles. it is a film about tolerance, it is funny and charming. idid about tolerance, it is funny and charming. i did not know any of this stuff at all. it makes a very interesting double bill with wonder woman who has become such a huge box office success. i thought it was really good and i really enjoyed it. it has been a really good week, you can
