Bean
This is from the movie 'Mr.Bean Ultimate disaster Movie'.
Scene, ceremony to mark the arrival of famous painting 'Whistler's Mother' to American soil painted by famous American painter Whistler. Poor Mr.Bean or rather Dr. Bean, the famous arts scholar:P from 'London school of Art' is called onto the stage to say few words about the significance of the Painting 'Whistler's Mother' which incidently would been disfigured by him. Dr.Bean walks to the stage trembling with fear. He doesnt know what to say.. He doesnt no a thing about art. Then he gathers all courage and strength and makes his most-infamous, most hilarious and very very true and relevant  to Mr.Bean's famous eccentric character with Beanism oozing all around it.

Hello...., I'm Dr. Bean. Apparently.... And.. And.. my job is to sit and look at paintings.
(All Audiance clap in appreciation thinking what he said was a mark of a great art lover, but in reality by sitting and looking at paintings he meant he was a watchman in a art gallery:D)



And.. So, what have I learned that I can say about this painting?.. Hmm.. Well...Well.., firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent. If it were very small, microscopic (you know), then hardly anyone would be able to see it. Which would be a tremendous shame.

And Secondly...., and I'm getting quite near the end of this... analysis of this painting... (struggles, looks around to get some idea what to say) , secondly(some pause again..)...., why was it worth this man here (Poiting to some Military Guy who bought the painting) spending fifty million of your American dollars on this potrait?...  And.. and the answer to that is, well.. this picture is worth such a lot of money becaaaause..(pauses as if to think a lot), it's a picture of Whistler's mother. And as I've learned, staying with my best friend David Langley and his family, families are very important. And even though Mr. Whistler was perfectly aware that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she'd had a cactus lodged up her backside (unusual smile in the audiance) he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her.  It's not just a painting, it's a picture of a mad old cow whom he thought the world of. And that's marvellous. Well that's what I think:):):)



Then Dr.Bean with a very chubby and cute face poses for photo with press. All ends well:)

This scene is a perfect example to show what a alround comic genius Rowan Atkinson is. In his episodes he hardly speaks In the form of  a innocent, childish buffon who often falls in trouble, made some mind blowingly hilarious comedy out of nothing. Many would have been sceptical of his skills with verbal comedy. Through this he has shown that he is no mug when it comes to talking. And he does it in style speaking all out but at the same time without loosing a bit of his famous eccentric Beanism. Further he also showed his verbal skills in 'Johny English'. Watch out of new Bean movie in 2007... 'Bean 2'

PS : 'I practice these dialogues everyday in my bathroom, particularly his description of Whistler's mother as a ' hideous old bat who looked like she'd had a cactus lodged up her backside'.

Bean
Here i present Mr Bean, 'the most intellegent of all comedians, who can turn any serious situation into a very humorous affair'.



Beleive me or not, i have watched some of his popular vidoes more than 100 times, and everytime the comedy looks incredebly fresh. That much eternally humorous his comedy and acting is! And i have used him as a medium to bring smile to a crying child often.
