"Mr. Bean's Catastrophe", the core plot is really frightening: Why did Mr. Bean just repair the famous painting? Why are all kinds of chemical agents at their fingertips? Is it just because of the plot? I think there is a shocking secret behind this.
To truly understand this "Mr. Bean's Catastrophe", we need to understand two questions: 1. In the beginning, why did the curator of the British Art Museum maintain Bean so much? Doudou is obviously not a person who would sit quietly in a corner and watch paintings. He must have caused a lot of trouble during his stay in the British Art Museum.
The audience could understand why other employees had to fire Doudou, but they could not understand why the curator aggressively emphasized that Doudou was hired by him, and that Doudou should never be expelled-intriguing.
2. Where did Handou learn to use chemicals to repaint? And I changed it several times, and in the end I simply changed the painting to a poster. The brain circuit was amazing, let alone showing a very reliable execution? ——Such skills require a lot of chemical knowledge. In fact, many chemists are involved in painting restoration and protection in the art world. Doudou can never be a PhD in chemistry...
The answer is from the curator of the British Art Gallery.
I guess that Doudou and the curator have changed the paintings of the British Art Museum a long time ago. This is the reason why Doudou understands these infrequent techniques; it stands to reason that only professional painting restoration professionals can master this skill. As for what happened between Doudou and the old curator in a British art gallery, that is really too much room for imagination.
The old curator of the British Art Museum keeps Beans for confidentiality, and the second man at the American Art Museum will certainly do the same. They already wear a pair of pants. I believe this point of view is not my imagination. Because, "Mr. Bean's Catastrophe", the entire movie has always been around the "original-reissue".
You know, this problem has always plagued the art world. That is, when printing, publishing, books, peripherals, and later the Internet, etc. are highly developed, why do people go to art museums to see original paintings? If the reproduction of a painting is exactly the same as the original, how do we understand the auction price of a famous painting of tens of millions of dollars?
The male staff member of the California Art Museum, the male number two, cannot accept that the "original classical oil painting" has been desecrated by "modern civilization". At the beginning of the film, the staff of the California Art Museum discussed whether to invite the "Doctor" from the British beanie as an important person in the opening ceremony of "Whistler's Mother"-the public relations staff suggested to find popular rock bands Bonjovi caught the eye, and the head of the souvenir department produced a bunch of very kuso-related souvenirs.
The male number two is a curator who has a background in art history (his position is curator). He is very angry about this. That's why he desperately defended this "Dr. Bean" who had never met before and took this doctor from England. It's a mess, because he hopes to maintain the orthodoxy in his heart.
But in the later part of the movie, when Doudou replaced the famous paintings that were painted into a mess, replaced them with posters with a skillful technique, and gave the posters the texture of oil painting, the male second was relieved. None of the celebrities and scholars present saw any problems.
This makes the absurd effect full. That is to say, this catastrophe of Doudou actually dispelled the core meaning of this kind of "original work sitting in distress"-behind this is a very serious crisis in the art gallery industry. If there is no original work, the "story" of the museum cannot be told, so the museum has done a lot to defend the "original work." But, if there is no original work, is it really possible?
What if what we see in these art galleries is really a print made of oil painting?
The most laughable comedies often occur in this extreme absurdity.
The second part of the Doudou series, "The Golden Week of Doudou," actually has a similar theme, but it's much easier than a trip to the museum. "Golden Bean's Golden Week" is actually a "movie love letter", and its core concept is the "medium".
Different media have been strung together to form this movie.
This film combines DV documentaries, silent films, musicals, commercial films in the film industry, art films sent to film festivals, etc., and then spoofs them all. One of the most spoofed is the art film directed by a narcissistic film at the Cannes Film Festival-this section is simply full of fun. At the end, the characters broke the fourth wall together and walked towards the audience.
This relaxed tone makes people feel the charm of the movie, and naturally it is completely different from other comedies in temperament.
There are not many feature films in the "Bean" series, so it's a pity to look at it this way. I would like to see more of this kind of film that is very commercial on the surface, but actually has a meaning, but is determined not to be broken.
