「呆萌」的豆豆先生：突槌特派員
我超愛看豆豆先生的電影，特別是突槌特派員，已經拍了第三集。前幾天去電影院看，從頭笑到尾，決無冷場。
年輕時我很著迷於英國文化與歷史。事隔數十年，我才瞭解原因。英國人強烈地感到「帝國沒落」，電影與小說總散發著一種落日餘暉的光暈。這種沒落感並非自憐字艾，而是以詼諧、幽默、好笑的方式來呈現。日裔作家「長日將盡」(Remains of the Day)，將這種帝國沒落的黃昏美學闡釋的極深入，而豆豆先生則以逗趣方式嘲笑當代英國科技落後、國力衰微，然後再於結尾呈現出人文老國的優雅。
豆豆先生飾演的特派員名叫Johnny English。這名字取的真直接，電影呈現的就是老派英國人的精神。加上經典的007，以及這幾年的「金牌特務員」，都是好看的英國特務片。
這次突槌特派員第三集，女首相是Emma Thompson演的，她怎麼都不會老？跟當年「長日將盡」電影的長相差不多。首相在國際會議致詞時，自稱為「島嶼國家」，from Empire to island country, 多少的曲折！多少的故事！
Johnny English is a 2003 British spy comedy film directed by Peter Howitt and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and William Davies. It is a British-American venture produced by StudioCanal, Working Title Films and Universal Pictures.
Starring Rowan Atkinson, Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller and John Malkovich, it is the first installment of the Johnny English film seriesand serves as a parody/homage to the spy genre, mainly the James Bond film series as well as Atkinson's character Mr. Bean.
Released theatrically in the United States on July 18, 2003, the film met with mixed reviews from critics but was commercially successful, having grossed $160 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million.[1] The film was released in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2003 and topped the country's box office for the next three weekends, before being overtaken by X2.[3][4][5]
Due to its commercial success it was followed by two sequels, Johnny English Reborn and Johnny English Strikes Again in 2011 and 2018, respectively.
