In June, it was said that Pierrot was not actually a clown character, so I borrowed the painter Thomas Kutur's "Pierrot in Criminal Court" to carry the "painting things" that can be regardless of the west and the west, regardless of the blue and red, and talk about the topic in depth.

The French painter Jean Antoine Watteau was perhaps the first to paint a portrait of Pierrot on canvas. Viewers who know Huato know that Huato's life was like a meteor crossing the sky, and he died in a hurry in his thirties, and his short life left at least two important contributions for future generations, one was that he developed a situational painting style, arranging a grand scene according to or quoting or creating certain elements, showing the painting in the form of a feast.

The second may be to make Pierrot's image deeply rooted in the hearts of the French people, through the re-shaping of personality characteristics of the archetype of Pierrot's character in the original Italian drama. As well as the comedy characters that resemble Pierrot's image inherent in Native France, such as the characters called Gilles, are distinguished from the characters in terms of characteristics. Of course, the greatest credit for the real image of the French Pierrot becomes rich, tangible, three-dimensional, and amiable, and the greatest credit should be due to the creative efforts made by a group of French playwrights such as Molière.

Joker has no name, which is determined by the character's greater role than the character's character. The namelessness of the clown is somewhat similar to the "flow" line and the dragon set character in the Chinese National Essence Peking Opera character line, rather than the "ugly" line character. People seem to be familiar with the roles of Life, Dan, Net, End, and Ugly in Peking Opera, and may not be too familiar with the vice, outer, martial, miscellaneous, and stream, "flow" line, the line here is pronounced as "hang", there should be no need to remind it in June. The popularity in Peking Opera can be said to be the most professional dragon set, the real dragon set, the roles of husbands, soldiers, retinues and other roles that appear in the play are popular, and they are even different from the most inconspicuous small supporting characters, nameless and nameless.

Later, it seems that Peking Opera has developed, because the staff of one opera is too large, the last line and layman are included in the life line, and the dragon set is also undertaken by other roles. It is like the different groups in the modern symphony orchestra, as well as the different instrument compositions in each group, each of which is in place, obscure and nameless, and presents only a collection of instrumental music. For example, the role of passers-by in the movie is also quite equal. If strict, these analogies are not rigorous, and June only wants to provoke a layer of thinking.

Pierrot is based on a character in Italian comedy art known as "Zanni". With the stylization of comedy performances, there is a universal pattern in which performances usually consist of 10 people. Including four lovers (Innamorati), two men and two women, similar to couples like Claudio and Isabella, they are intertwined with complex relationships, resulting in remarkable contradictions and conflicts in the plot.

Two old men (Vecchi), almost all of whom are wealthy, whose values sway young people, whose existence seems to be only for the trouble and obstacle of the development of young people's romance. There is also a captain and a maid (Servetta), the captain is mostly self-styled, arrogant personality.
