3PO in America and Marvin in Europe

I love sci-fi movies, and I adore sci-fi writers because they are usually imaginative smart guys; I prefer hilarious sci-fi movie people because they can make a fool of himself and laugh about it. That's why I love 3PO and Star Wars so much, and I love Marvin and The Hitchhiker's Guide so much.

Almost every minute of the story is nonsensical and wise, especially the beginning and the end are strokes of genius. Marvin could be a sarcastic reinvention of 3PO. Because 3PO is a protocol droid that "simulates human emotions", Marvin is the prototype of GPP (genuine people personality) emphasizing that he is a "real" human personality. Well, this "real" representative of human character is not the image of an American who is chattering, timid, timid, but not annoying, like 3PO, but a middle-aged European who is "depressed" and who is not pessimistic and world-weary. Just like its size - a fat body with a huge bald head. From the thousands of jokes in this film, I can only choose one such as Marvin. Because it shows what makes this movie different from America's glittering entertainment blockbusters, which is the self-deprecating humor of Europeans, just as they can laugh at the insignificance of the earth and the arrogance and idiots of human beings.
