Everywhere he goes, he causes chaos, making his fans split their sides with laughter.He is Mr. Bean, the lead character of the hugely popular film and TV series.Now he is back in a new movie called Mr. Bean’s Holiday. It will open in China on July 7. This time, our hero and his peanut-sized brain travel to the sunny south of France. What kind of trouble will he cause?Created by British comic actor Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Bean first appeared in 1990. Since then the idiot hero has been a hit around the world. Why has the character enjoyed success with people of different cultures? One reason is that there’s very little dialogue in the stories and thus no language barrier. The sight of Mr. Bean as a barber making a terrible mess of some poor customer's hair doesn’t need translating.But there’s a deeper reason. Although he is British and the stories generally take place in British settings, Mr. Bean is really nation-less. People from different cultures laugh at Mr. Bean for the same reason earlier generations laughed at comic star Charlie Chaplin.Mr. Bean breaks social rules wherever he goes – he jumps the queue, tries to cheat in exams – we all secretly want to do but generally don’t.While you are waiting for the new film to be released, think back to Mr. Bean’s previous stories: Bean makes himself a sandwich in the park: he cuts the bread with scissors, spreads the butter with his credit card, washes a lettuce but uses his sock to dry it. He crushes peppercorns with his shoe. The pepper makes him sneeze and he drops the sandwich.Mr. Bean goes to a swimming pool, and tries out the high diving board, but gets scared. He is “helped” by two impatient boys who push him off. Bean loses his swimming trunks, and tries to get back to the changing room unseen, and fails.Sauce: /viewthread-19-298354-1.shtml1.
