Mask of laughter

Some laughs in the world come from the heart, and some are masks that conceal sadness.
I recently bought a set of Mr. Bean's DVD and watched it all in a week, and then I fell in love with this seemingly weird and nervous man.
The DVD is very comprehensive, including almost all of Mr. Atkinson's comedies, among which the favorites are "Mr. Bean" and "Black Jazz".
To be honest, I did not fully understand "Black Sir", because the drama involved in the historical tradition is quite deep. You must be very familiar with the history of England from the Duze dynasty to modern times in order to deeply feel the jokes in it. So I feel depressed from time to time when I watch this show, because the people at the backstage laugh almost out of breath, and I stare at me not knowing what they are talking about. However, Mr. Atkinson is the sexiest and most handsome in all the movies in this play, so I'm especially interested in this little nymph.
In fact, I want to talk about the "Mr. Bean" series. This sitcom composed of countless short stories is my favorite. You don’t have to sit in front of the TV and think about the next plot, and you don’t have to worry about the fate of the characters in the play—because the weird man in a light brown suit is always in front of the screen with a neurotic ridiculous expression on his face. , Make a fool of yourself or act strangely there. He is shy, mentally retarded, good-looking, selfish but sometimes very enthusiastic. In some cases, he will also play a little clever. He has no friends, only a teddy bear as company. His date with his girlfriend always breaks up. It can be said that he is lonely. Because of his weird behavior and low energy performance, he hardly finds any friends. He is selfish and bullies even children. In other words, his own intelligence stays at the child stage, so he often does some willful things.
What is commendable is that beans can adjust themselves. He has a teddy bear, he often talks to it, tells stories to it, and puts it on the bedside to sleep with him. Together with Cubs, he isolates himself from the outside world. This is not only a manifestation of self-protection, but also an act of seeking true happiness. From the perspective of Doudou, the outside world is unreasonable. There are cumbersome restaurants, normal people who always look at him with disgusting expressions, and hospitals that have queued for a few hours before being able to go to the doctor... all these make the mind. Simply he can hardly resist. Only Teddy, it can’t speak, it won’t look at him with disgusting eyes, let alone embarrass it, on the contrary, it will comfort him when he is the loneliest, chat with him, and have no complaints in the long night. Spend with him-this kind of friend is really hard to find in the world.
Among the many roles, I think the image of Doudou is actually closer to Mr. Atkinson. Mr. Atkinson has been introverted and clumsy since he was a child, and is often ridiculed. Although he is not so ridiculous in life, there should be resonance in their hearts-they all hate social interactions and are unreasonable to the cumbersome and unreasonable things in society. Socializing is very disgusting. But the difference is that Doudou can blatantly satirize and destroy these phenomena, because he lives in those sitcoms. Atkinson lived in reality first. He could only express his dissatisfaction with these phenomena in the form of art. Therefore, you can say from one aspect that Mr. Atkinson is more pitiful than Doudou. Mr. Atkinson puts on the mask of a bean, and expresses his heart in a specific situation and a specific plot. Only this kind of disguise will make him unscrupulous. After removing the mask and restoring everything, he still has to return to that reality, because this is reality.
In fact, I like Mr. Bean's home most in this drama. Although it is small, it feels very warm and comfortable. Especially his bed, I really want to climb up to sleep on it. I like the warm and thick feeling the most. Modern Chinese people always ask for more and more latitude when buying a house. In fact, if I want to choose, I would rather have a small room like a bean, and then buy a lot of soft cushions and blankets, as well as a lot of plush toys and furnishings. Such furnishings make me feel more at ease than the sharp metal furniture in the big cold house, because this is like home.
