Mr. Bean's Holiday
We watched Mr. Bean's Holiday the other day and between laughing I kept saying, "Oh man, He is such an idiot!" I felt embarrassed for him, irritated at him and humored by him.
What an idiot!. I like him because he is an idiot.
We were taught to "Stop staring!" when we were kids. Now, when I watch Mr. Bean, I can stare at him, laugh at him and even call him an idiot without having to feel bad for staring and laughing. There are some crazy funny scenes n this movie: The street performance scene, the "begging money in the airport scene", the restaurant scene and the scene where he is dressed in military garb and thinks he is going to be in a movie. I like the drive- at- night scene, the scene when he is wanting the boy's Papa to take his picture, when he spills and re-pours his drink on the train, the lottery trip ticket scene... I don't know why I'm going on and on. If you haven't seen it you should and if it's been awhile and you want to stare (and laugh) at an idiot, Mr. Bean is your man.

Rowan Atkinson is one of the very reasons you should guest post on my blog about a work of literature made into a movie much more literary than Mr. Bean!
