00:00For years, not so many years, I had visited Perú and there was a lot of interest to go to
00:10Machu Picchu.
00:12Two or three years later, I took my daughter Stella, who had 18 years old, and we went to Cusco.
00:18We went from Cusco and went four days by the mountains, by the sierras, to 4.000 meters of height.
00:25We slept in camping stores until we arrived at Machu Picchu.
00:30And when you go to Machu Picchu, when you go to Machu Picchu and you go to Machu Picchu,
00:36you go to the sun, you go to a kind of wall, and you find yourself with that.
00:42It was very emotional.
00:44And suddenly, all this was installed in London.
00:46So I recognized all the decorations that we had.
00:49Because only the plates were made in Perú, but we never went to Perú.
00:55We did it all in London, which is incredible.
00:58When I see the movie, it looks like we're all there, but we're not there.
01:01It was very nice, very emotional.
01:03To me, to make a movie for children, I always liked it.
01:06I think we all have a real responsibility.
01:10Because they're not only films of entertainment, but the children are still with all the educational parts.
01:16I say it from my own experience of being a kid.
01:18I remember things from Captain Garfield, from Peter Pan, from Wendy.
01:23How they were going to go to that house, from London, with a light bulb.
01:28They were moments of romanticism that you had to be recorded in your head.
01:31And it was very difficult to remove it from there.
01:34So, it was very difficult to remove it from there.
01:36And that way, you have to have to be careful with it.
01:38When we did the Puss in Boots, the Shrek, Sponsor Bob, the Spy Kids,
01:42we always had to be aware of what the audience was heading.
01:46And I think the character of Paddington is a very beautiful character.
01:51He has a lot of temperance.
01:55He is very nice.
01:58He is not an agressive person.
02:01He is not an agressive person.
02:02In the most difficult moments, he always has a good response.
02:07He has a logical response.
02:09He is a very reasonable person.
02:13He has probably the best British culture.
02:19And he is also very exportable to other cultures.
02:22I think he is a very beautiful person.
02:24I really liked it.
02:26And our character, that seems to be the bad person,
02:30but in the end, the Spanish and the Hispanics
02:32are fine because the character is ready to be
02:34through love for his daughter.
02:36The movie is about two forces,
02:41positive and negative forces.
02:42One force is the greed,
02:45the ambition,
02:48the conquest of the dorado,
02:51of the money,
02:52of what he can give you that
02:54and the love on the other side.
02:56And in that balance,
02:58that is where the movie is playing.
03:00Continually.
03:00In the case of my character,
03:03he wins the love,
03:04in this case,
03:05by his daughter
03:06and by becoming a rational person
03:09that is capable of cutting with his past.
03:12Because all these fantasies of the past
03:13are oppriming continually
03:15and pushing them
03:16to go in the wrong direction.
03:18Keep it up here, right?
