◎Behind the scenes
The return of Mr. Bean
After a decade of silence, Mr. Bean "returned", and the second film in the "Mr. Bean" series, Mr. Bean's Holiday, was released in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2007. Directed by Steve Bandlake, who directed his debut film The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse (2005). The famous British actor Rowan Atkinson, who was once famous for the "Mr. Bean" series, once again starred in the film - Mr. Bean. In this film, Mr. Bean continues to have very little dialogue, presenting the characteristics of the plot with rich body language and a variety of funny expressions. The difference is that the object of this spoof is the Cannes Film Festival.
"Mr. Bean" is the BBC's signature TV comedy, which claims to have 18.5 million viewers in the United Kingdom, and the protagonist of the play, Mr. Bean, Islean Atkinson, is famous for this drama. The British even thought he was born to eat this bowl of rice. In 1997, Mr. Bean first appeared in the film version, the title of the film is "The Great Disaster of Mr. Bean", which is a film that fully demonstrates British humor, in which Mr. Bean is a guard in the exhibition hall of the Royal Gallery of the United Kingdom, and the gallery actually sent the most incompetent him as the representative of the museum to the United States to participate in the opening ceremony of a famous painting. Some commentators have said that the film also satirizes the bureaucracy of Britain and the United States. The film was so popular when it was screened in Europe and the United States that it grossed $240 million worldwide, and Rowan Atkinson became famous worldwide. However, since then, the release of the second film has been delayed, and there has been news that "Mr. Bean" suffered from depression due to excessive work pressure, but this statement has not been confirmed by the actor himself. Now, after a decade of waiting, people have finally ushered in Mr. Bean's second movie, "Mr. Bean's Holiday".
Funny Cannes Film Festival
Compared to "The Catastrophe of Mr. Bean", which is set in the United States, in this film, Mr. Bean goes to France, the camera turns to Europe, and this time the funny object is the Cannes Film Festival. Unlike American humor, which uses exaggerated words to make people laugh, British humor is often through body language and funny expressions, and everything is in silence. Rowan Atkinson takes this trait to the extreme. In the film, Mr. Bean, tired of the rainy weather in London, dreams of spending a wonderful vacation on the sunny beach in the south of France. After winning the jackpot, he happily embarked on a holiday from England to France, but the road was troublesome, taking the wrong train, leaving luggage on the train, Mr. Bean going up and down the train, dropping things on the platform or suitcase... Lots of jokes. Despite the twists and turns of the journey, Mr. Bean finally came to Cannes, showed his film, and realized his dream of a French vacation.
Although it has been ten years since the first film, Mr. Bean's funny skills are still undiminished. Unfortunately, Bean's actor, Rowan Atkinson, has revealed that this may be his last Bean work. As for whether this is a hype gimmick for the new film, it is not known.
His IQ is no less than 007
However, this "Mr. Bean" Rowan Atkinson has a doctorate in electrical engineering from Oxford University in real life, and mr. Bean, who can play such an idiot, is really a first-class acting skill, and the IQ is definitely more than "007". In fact, before playing Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson had been quietly working in the film industry for a long time, and he won the Emmy Award for Best International Drama Series, the British Academy Award and the BBC Artist of the Year with the help of the BBC's "Not The Nine O'clock news". In The Black Adder, he played the snarky, cynical Edmond, demonstrating his linguistic talent and superb acting skills. However, it was mr. Bean, who played him, who made his acting skills the pinnacle.
Now 52 years old, his facial features can still be stretched and contracted like "erasers", and his expression is delicate when funny, which is really one with Mr. Bean. This role has made Rowan Atkinson popular all over the world, and we can see how popular he is from various series of merchandise: in addition to the videotapes and DVDs of the play, there are postcards, phone books, greeting cards, and all kinds of T-shirts, books, scripts, stills collections, biographies, etc., the most famous of which is "The Diary of Bean", which collects the most important and private bits and pieces of Bean's life. After ten years, Mr. Bean returned to the screen, and I don't know how fans will react to Mr. Bean's funny skills in the new film, we will wait and see.
