Mr.Bean

:-))

Tímto profilem bych rád vzdal hold Mr. Beanovi - nejosamělejšímu, nejnešikovnějšímu a současně i nejzábavnějšímu pánovi, jehož jsem měl, spolu s miliony dalších diváků,  tu čest i potěšení mnohokrát navštívit v jeho skromném příbytku nebo s ním sdílet jeho trable, kdykoli ze svého staromládeneckého kutlochu byť jen na chvíli vytáhl paty.

Poznámky:

• Já sám svádím již mnoho let sisyfovský boj s anglickým jazykem, bohužel s nevalnými výsledky. A právě proto zde značnou část  textů uvedu v původním anglickém znění. Abych potrestal nejen sebe, ale i některé z vás za lenost a neochotu učit se cizím jazykům! ;-)

• Žádat mě o bod nebo mi nabízet výměnu bodu nemá smyl. Do svých oblíbených si přidávám pouze uživatele s pro mě zajímavými komentáři nebo s propracovaným filmovým profilem. Pokud je někdo zajímavý obojím, je to ideální případ!  

• Hodnotím pochopitelně jen filmy, které jsem viděl a dosud nehodnotil.

• Práce na profilu se povleče, neboť volného času na koníčky mám bohužel o dost méně, než bych (s)potřeboval.

INT:  When did you discover your face? 

Rowan Atkinson: "That's a  good question." 

"I think I was about 20.  It was when I first I had just arrived a Oxford University.  I had already got a degree in electrical and electronic engineering, which is my background. And I'd just arrived from another University, arrived at Oxford, and towards the end of my first month there, someone was doing or was staging a show, was, was staging a review, you know, one night stand, at a theater in Oxford and they asked me if I'd do something in it, because they knew that I'd been in school plays or they had heard that I'd been interested in theater and performing.  So they said, "Would you like to do a ¨sketch?", and I, um, and I, I had never written any words before in my life, and I just looked in the mirror and started to improvise.  Really it was the first time I had just stood in front of a mirror and had a look at my face, and explored it and stretched it, and tweaked it, and just had fun with it.  Suddenly this, sort of, attitude and this character and this absurdity started to evolve, and this bizarre little five minute sketch evolved, which was really the precursor to 'Mr. Bean' as he now is, about this guy who didn't speak but just burbled and came out and tried to give away this piece of paper to anyone in the audience who would have it.  And this burblblb (does Mr. Bean mumble).  He was just this man who came out on stage in this most peculiar way.  And that was it, really.  That was the sketch.  That was, to be honest, the first time and the last time, really, that I looked in the mirror, and explored my facial range."
