So I downloaded his famous work, the first season of the British version of "office". As a result, I was really bored. I'm used to fast-paced American dramas with gorgeous costumes, beautiful scenery, handsome men and beauties. I'm really not used to watching such a British drama with simple scenes, funny characters, funny lines and huge cultural differences. I can't understand the subtle sense of humor in the lines in the play. , Ricky Gervais' performance, also looks a little too exaggerated.
However, I was not discouraged. I downloaded his famous podcast "The Ricky Gervais Show" with more frustration and courage. Unfortunately, my English listening was still only in the range where I could roughly understand the content, and it was far from enjoying the jokes.
So, this fat brother has been out of my sight for a long time, but I have never forgotten him.
As I had the opportunity to search for various past movies on eDonkey during my vacation, I accidentally discovered this movie shot last year, saw this fat face in the poster, and remembered the old feelings, I still downloaded it.
As it turns out, this choice is exceptionally wise. I laughed almost from start to finish, Ricky Gervais once again showing his invincible sense of humor. This kind of movie is just right for me: there are no sensational scenes that spill dog blood, no attempt to make people cry, no excessive emotional exaggeration, all point to point, all kinds of dangerous moments that tend to be rotten are replaced by silence or humor. The characters do not have mentally retarded characters, everything is mature and mature, and it comes naturally.
This is a tailor-made movie for him, a third-class crippled figure, a sense of humor that attracted the heroine's love for him... The character's setting, personality, and speaking style cannot be replaced by other actors. I suspect that it is his improvisation in many places, such as he said that he doesn't like sting, and that his upbringing is reflected in his lyrics (in order to oppose this point of view, I changed the title of a song of sting to use it as the title ).
There is another point to watch in this film, which is the contrast between the typical New York male ghost frank and him through the end. One is bombastic, the other is taciturn; one is simply dressed, the other is overdressed like a hotel clerk; one is a London accent, and the other is American English with a big tongue. The two men's rivalry scenes are not boring, in addition to acting skills, the delicacy of the script is even more important.
Ricky Gervais' character, as the heroine said, is "weird and practical", with indifferent and mocking words, there is a simple and simple heart, of course, the most important thing, but also a lot of humor, so that people can be attracted love it. Look at Humpty Dumpty's big watery eyes.
