Many people think that I can make them laugh on stage, so I can make them laugh in reality. That's not the case at all. I am quite quiet and even a little boring, but I happen to be an actor.
It is obviously unreasonable and absurd to criticize a person's race, but it is a right to criticize their religion. That's freedom. The freedom to criticize thoughts and any thoughts-even if they are sincere beliefs-is one of the basic freedoms of society. A law that tries to say that as long as it is not religious thoughts, you can criticize and laugh at them is indeed a very strange law.

It is obviously irrational and ridiculous to criticize a person because of his race, but it is a right to criticize their beliefs. This is a kind of freedom.
Criticizing an idea, any idea-even if they are true beliefs-is also a basic freedom of society.
If a law tries to stipulate that you can criticize and laugh at any thoughts as long as they are not about religious beliefs, it is indeed a strange law.

Mr. Bean is essentially
A child is trapped in a man's body. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this strange global expansion. Boys of 10 years old from different cultures have more in common than those of 30 years old. As we grow up, we get this feeling of separating us.
Mr. Dou is actually just a child who fell into the body of an adult man. All cultures have similar views on children, so he can achieve wonderful success on a global scale.
For people with different cultural backgrounds, boys aged 10 are more interested in sex than men aged 30. When we grow up, the rationality we gain will distinguish us from each other.
