deconstruction of comedy

Mr. Bean's wonderful gift to the Cannes Film Festival seems to be the childhood memory of many people (except me), but I am a little fortunate that I didn't watch it when I was a child, because for ordinary audiences, this movie is just one of Mr. Bean's countless masterpieces. A representative of the film, with witty stories, funny performances and romantic French style, but for movie fans, this movie deconstructs the "art" of the movie in a clever comedy way, and at the same time is a work of high creative level, watching the movie. The beautiful experiences that erupted in the process were unattainable in childhood.

The first half is the opening of the most traditional comedy. Bean, who is playing straight, is going to play in France. The way is full of coincidences and regrets. Mr. Bean's wrinkled and exaggerated performance and the highly saturated French scenery can capture people's hearts. Come again A little guitar chords and harmonica minors, perfect! The mixing of DV shooting, as a clue symbol, accumulates material for the end of the film, and the rhythm is tight and full, without wasting a minute of time.

The Cannes Film Festival has always been the palace of art films, and it is the one that pursues the most pure "movie" among the three major film festivals in Europe. With the sudden intrusion of Bean, it is the literary art of Xixi film that is destroyed, the artist is pulled down from the world, and the hypocritical face of the movie star is exposed (laughs). The director with the face of a suffering art film, arrogant, harsh and unreasonable, made a self-indulgent Cannes opening film. The whole film is a false world view of muttering to himself, upside down, backtracking and backtracking, but However, Bean used the DV clips he shot to edit on the spot, without a teacher, the sound and picture were aligned, and the meaning was full. Such deconstruction and reorganization was enough to make me, a depressed ghost who scratches his head every day at film theory, can’t help laughing.

Bean's intrusion will not bring embarrassment and discomfort to people, because Bean's motive for action is pure and pure: I'm going to the beach in Cannes to sunbathe, celebrity directors don't care about the big studio, I have a goal Just go and break, no matter where you are. There is no extra part. Such characters are pure, funny and kind, and continue the humanistic care that Mr. Bean was born with. The soundtrack, picture, and shot scheduling can't be said to be perfect, but they are definitely at the level (it's a level that I would think wow is awesome when I watch it). In particular, it is recommended to all film and television colleagues, film lovers, and compatriots who are depressed and study film studies every day.
