| Since his first appearance in 1989,Mr Bean has achieved a massive following around the world-he's now recognised as the most popular British comedy export since Benny Hill-with some people even thinking of him as a sex symbol.   His visual humour and elaborate sight gags transcend linguistic frontiers, and have earned comparisons with the great silent movie star Buster Keaton-although apparently his character was based on the work of French comic genius JacquesTati. And now he's making a movie: accompanied by his beloved Teddy he's off to L.A.to cause a whole feature film's worth of mayhem in "Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie". It's a funny thing when you think about it. Whenever someone sees the British actor Rowan Atkinson in a movie, they would immediately say, "Oh look, it's Mr Bean!"There is really no doubt that Rowan Atkinson is most known for playing Mr Bean, that dumb but likeable character. And that Mr Bean, has starred in a series of short films, that many have enjoyed very much.  Mr Bean is a man, who is most known for his stupidity. He is always wearing a brown jacket, white shirt, red tie and dark brown trousers. He also carries an adorable little teddy bear who he calls "Teddy". He also has a penchant (倾向) for driving around in yellow Mini Coopers, and has a huge dislike for blue three-wheeled cars. He also has a sort of girlfriend called Irma Gobb, although it is not the most steady of relationships. What this man does is pretty much what every single human being does, but he does this with the most bizarre (奇异的) and stupid ways possible. For instance, when he's going to the beach, when he is putting on his swimmers, he does it without taking off his trousers. Another example is when he is late for a dentist appointment, he gets dressed while driving in the car. And while he does this, he remains silent. But when he does talk, which isn't often, it's usually with a very deep and croaky (哇哇叫的) voice, and speaks gibberish (快速而不清楚的言语) as well. This is what makes Mr Bean so likeable to watch. The humor in this show is absolutely brilliant. There are so many memorable moments in this show, such as getting rid of a revolting (令人厌恶的) meal in a restaurant by hiding it in many things, and role-playing the various roles of Joseph, Mary and Jesus at Christmas. It's a real shame that there weren't a lot of episodes. There should have been more! But overall, whether you think of Mr Bean as a comedy genius or just a stupid idiot, there's no doubt that he has done a lot for comedy, and is one of the most recognizable characters in television. |

| The influential Charlie Chaplin Charlie Chaplin is irresistible (无法抵御) because he is one of the first and most enduring (持久的) movie stars, because he quickly gained creative and financial control (创作权和财政权) of his movies, because he invented such a fascinating (引人入胜的) series of comic (喜剧的) films, because he experienced such a stormy personal life, and because his 40-year filmmaking career in the United States was such a rollercoaster ride of boom and bust.  Every few weeks outside the movie theater in virtually any American town in the late 1910s,stood the life- size card board figure of small tramp-outfitted in tattered (破旧的), baggy (肥大的) pants, a cutaway coat and vest(背心), impossibly large, worn-out shoes, and a battered derby (扁顶) hat-bearing the inscription (印 象) "I am here today." An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious, almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot. In a 1995 worldwide survey (调查) of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history. He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process-founding his own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting (演员挑选人), directing, writing, and editing the movies he starred in. In the first decade of the twentieth century, when weekly movie going was a national habit, Chaplin more or less invented global recognizability (世人的赞扬) and helped turn an industry into an art. In 1916, his third year in films, his salary of $10 000 a week made him the highest paid actor-possibly the highest paid person-in the world. By 1920, "Chaplinitis" accompanied (伴随) by a flood of Chaplin dances, songs, dolls, comic books and cocktails, was rampant. Filmmakers Mack Sennett thought him "just the greatest artist who ever lived". Other early admirers included George Bernard Shaw, Marcel Proust, and Sigmund Freud. In 1923 Hart Crane, who wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime"represents the futile gesture (无用的) of the poet today". Later in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation. From 1981 to 1987, IBM used the Tramp as the logo to advertise its venture (冒险精神) into personal computers. He has been called the single most influential artist in the history of motion pictures; certainly no other movie star enjoyed the international, iconographic (象征性的) status (地位) he attained early in the silent era and maintained (保持) well past the coming of sound. And certainly no other creative talent did as much as he to elevate (提高) screen comedy to a high art. |
