During the May Day holiday, rainy days, Uncle Bo relived the Agent Bean movie series.
The year "Agent Bean 3" was released, 63-year-old Rowan Atkinson propped up the entire show and contracted the laughter in the movie. Netizens have said:
Even if there is no meat strip, men playing women, we actually laugh.
More netizens said: If you understand the bean, you can see through life.
Mr. Bean was born in 1990, and as of 2020, it has been 30 years.
Unfortunately, we will never see it again. Because in 2021, 66-year-old Rowan Atkinson said he was tired, announced that he would no longer play The Bean, and wanted to be himself back and do what he wanted to do.
When I first watched "Mr. Bean", Uncle Bo was still a teenager, and the bean at that time was not as gray as he is now.
The clumsy, almost "mentally retarded" Mr. Bean in the play is a real living treasure, his lines are very few, but every expression, every action is a drama upper body.
He does things that you would never dare to do. Although he was an adult, his behavior was very boring, childish, heartless, and had no concept of any social customs.
When I was a teenager, I only thought that he was a teaser with no heart and no lungs, and now Uncle Bo looks at Bean again, most of them are laughing and laughing and silent.
There has always been a saying that the core of comedy is tragedy.
"Mr. Bean" is not a simple comedy.
Remember that shot at the beginning of each episode?
Between the Central Criminal Court on Old Bailey Street and 10 Downing Street, the street was empty, and the bean fell into a beam of light and looked around in a hurry, not knowing which way to go.
Some believe that this is a metaphor, and that Bean is actually a castaway of God. The lonely tone of the whole play also begins here.
Atkinson also said that Bean is a child, and children need companionship, but Bean is lonely.
He lives in a small bachelor apartment with no family, no friends, and can only say "goodnight" to a teddy bear every night before going to bed.
He goes alone, going to the supermarket alone, going to a picnic alone, going on vacation alone...
He tried to integrate into this society, but as an adult, he behaved like a child, even more incomprehensible than a child, so everyone regarded him as a "freak" and wanted to stay away from him.
After all, Bean is "Han", he can't understand the strange eyes of others, still live his own little life, still the smile in everyone's eyes.
Atkinson has been so successful in portraying Bean that more than a decade after the TV series was discontinued, Facebook did a survey of the world's most popular TV series, and "Mr. Bean" still received 61.5 million likes, ranking second!
In everyone's heart, Atkinson is the bean, and the bean is the atchinson. So that although Atkinson has played many other roles, as long as he appears, people will always make up the shadow of the bean, and even the artist who looks a bit like the bean will be recognized.
Steven Sharp Nelson in The Piano Guys looks like Bean, and at first sight it will make people think that Bean has switched to playing the cello
In fact, the contrast between the real-life Atkinson and the bean in the play is very large.
Rowan Atkinson is not stupid at all, he is a bully, a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Oxford University.
The typical science and engineering man, he is dull, serious, and even a little melancholy, the whole temperament is far from the bean, so far away that the fans see me and do not believe that the bean is played by him.
In an interview, Atkinson once met a man in the parking lot, looked at him for a long time, and then went straight to him and asked him:
Dude, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Mr. Bean?
Atkinson answered very seriously:
I'm the actor who plays Bean.
And guess what? The man looked at him carefully again, then smiled back at him and said: You want to be beautiful!
Everyone thinks that the person who can play the bean must bring humor and laughter everywhere he goes, and he can amuse people at any time. But this is not the case, removing the skin of the bean, Atkinson always hides himself under a heavy coat and hat when interviewed by the media, answering questions with a dignified face and never deliberately funny.
A lot of people think I can make them laugh on stage, and I can make them laugh in reality. That's not the case at all. I was supposed to be a fairly quiet, even a little boring, but I just happened to be an actor.
It's hard to imagine that such a character would have to play a weird, disorderly fool, and God knows how hard he had to put in.
Atkinson has loved acting since he was a child, and when he was in college, he joined the Oxford Theatre Society, the Satire Theatre Association and other performance organizations, and practiced picking eyebrows, rolling his eyes and other actions in front of the mirror every day, and deliberately trained his limbs and expressions to perform.
Atkinson's performing arts were heavily influenced by the famous French pantomime actor Jacques Tati. Jacques's adept at using body language to convey humor in his performances has since become a feature of Atkinson, and is best used in Mr. Bean.
Jacques Tati
His performance made the British who have always emphasized "seriousness" shine, making everyone realize that the British can also be so "out of line", so silly and cute.
However, Atkinson, who has created a happy bean, is actually not very happy.
Making comedy is very stressful for me because I'm a perfectionist and it's like a disease... Every day I look at what I shot the day before in order to do better the next day.
This may have something to do with the gas and power engineering he has studied for many years. A project must be firm and safe, it is not tolerating mistakes, it must be a perfect design work to be put into practical life. For Atkinson, comedy is the "perfect project" he has to accomplish.
Because of the pursuit of perfection, it is easy to use too much force.
In 1997, "The Great Disaster of Mr. Bean" was released, and the audience controversy began to increase, and people said that he was exaggerated, artificial, and repetitive. So much so that when "Agent Bean" was released later, he once suffered from depression because the box office was not as good as expected, and he had to be treated at a psychological relaxation treatment center in the United States.
Filming comedy gives me a lot of pressure, film critics say that the film is not good, I am easily depressed, and I have to spend a lot of money to find a psychologist to complain to ease up!
Depression seems to be particularly fond of pestering comedians, and Uncle Poe's previously described Kim Carey and Robin Williams are tortured to death by depression.
Chaplin, who had played a clown all his life, once said:
The world is like a huge circus, it excites you, but it makes me panic, because I know that after the end of the scene, it will always be: limited warmth, infinite heartache.
This may be the behind-the-scenes monologue of many comedians. Good comedians may be masters of tragedy in life, shedding their own tears in the laughter of others.
Atkinson once said that every comedic character or character should come from the deep heart of the shaper, which is part of the shaper. From this point of view, Bean is actually a refraction of Atkinson in the screen, superficially doing things to make fun of others, and the loneliness behind it cannot be hidden.
Many times, we can be immersed in the joy of everyone, but it is difficult to understand why the sorrow comes from it.
Atkinson is indeed not a bean, otherwise he could have shrugged his shoulders and made an exaggerated expression when he encountered the imperfections of life, when nothing was happening.
He can't do the heartlessness and lungs like Bean, and when depression finds him, he still has to struggle and seek help;
As a star, he has to find a way to separate work from family and try to protect his family;
When he knew that someone in africa was living precariously, he entrusted others to quietly donate $300 million, accidentally becoming the artist with the highest amount of donation to charity in the world.
As a high-achieving student at Oxford University, Atkinson did nothing to be unsuccessful, but he has been playing a fool.
Because of his love, he preferred to keep his sorrows to himself and "offer himself as an offering to the audience."
Today's mood salute him
He's been stupid for half his life, laughing at you.
