In 2012, a teddy bear with a middle-aged bass, foul-mouthed and fond of dirty jokes was born.
After changing the usual cute and soft image of the teddy bear, the body of the bear and the heart of the rough man, the film was rated R.
But it is this sense of contrast that makes the film version of "Teddy Bear" well received.
Teddy bear also jumped to the top of the plush toy, also set off a "wish wind", who does not fantasize that their toy can suddenly live like a teddy bear?
Following the release of the film version "Teddy Bear 2", the play version also came.
This time, although the teddy bear is still "yellow and dirty", it has a little more warmth. Today, the dean will talk about this new American TV series.
Teddy Bear.
Ted
At present, the Douban score is 8.5 and the IMBD score is 8.0.
Friends who have seen the movie version know that the teddy bear was originally just a plush toy of John.
Lonely little John made a wish at Christmas that his teddy bear would come back to life and become his true friend.
Miraculously, the teddy bear really came back to life.
After that, they grew up together and were inseparable.
The film version mainly tells the story of adult John and teddy bear balancing love and friendship, while the drama version intercepts the daily life of adolescent John and the teddy bear.
Set in 1993, Teddy Bear's fame is behind him and he lives with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett.
They live in a working family from Boston, including father Marty, mother Susan and cousin Blair.
The life of a family of five is not happy, and all kinds of disputes often break out.
For example, one day Blair accused the teddy bear of being racist because he was uneducated and should go to school with John.
Teddy Kumamoto must not like it.
He had the impression that school was a terrible place and preferred to amuse himself at home.
However, just when he had nothing to do with his shotgun, the gun accidentally went off and broke the TV and window of the house.
Therefore, he likes to mention a "school opening gift package".
This is still a happy thing for John, after all, it is not easy for him to live alone at school.
Adolescent John is a transparent man in a school, there is no place to take it, and there is a long way to go from the "cool boy".
Not only afraid to talk to the goddess of secret love, but also often vented by several bad boys.
Teddy bear witnessed the scene of John being beaten on his first day of school. he went straight back to help John out.
However, his main task is to escape from school, and the only way is to be expelled from school.
In view of the fact that small fights were not enough for the headmaster to fire him, he decided to put the big one: the whole point of drugs!
Coincidentally, Goddess John often smokes marijuana.
This just gave John a chance to talk to each other, although the way is very bad, but at least come up with the address of the marijuana seller.
However, to the shock of the teddy bear, the seller was Blair!
The cousin who cares about racial discrimination, attaches great importance to culture, and smells like a good student.
It turns out that Blair was born into an unhappy family.
Her parents were both drug addicts, her brother was arrested and jailed, and she came to John's house in order to escape from her native family.
In order to pay high tuition fees and John's rent, she had to choose to sell marijuana.
She didn't want to sell it to the teddy bear, but she had to give it to him because she was in urgent need of money, and repeatedly stressed that she could not give it to John.
Of course, the gay couple forgot Blair's words and got high in the house...
Soon, their drugs were discovered by their parents, and Marty angrily accused Blair of living in his house and selling marijuana to his son.
And drove Blair directly out of the house.
John and Teddy Bear felt very guilty about this, especially when John realized that Blair really loved his brother and wanted to protect him from drugs.
So Teddy Bear made a difficult decision and took out his last amulet:
Mouth guard!
This is no ordinary mouth guard, it's Rocky's mouth guard, the one that got into Stallone's mouth in 1976!
He gave it to Rocky fan Marty on the condition that Blair go home and live for free.
With blair home, the little crisis was over.
After that, John and Teddy Bear continue to jump back and forth between "screw up" and "save", each episode is a funny and warm story, laughing and being cured.
The fat boy at school named Clive, who often bullied John, always looked sulky, as if he didn't like to see the whole world.
By chance, they learned that Clive was illegitimate, and that his father abandoned them when he was very young, and his current performance was probably due to the lack of fatherly love from an early age.
In order to mess with him, Teddy Bear pretended to be Clive's father and called him and asked him to meet him at the restaurant. And deliberately asked him to wear a sailor suit.
At the appointed time, they waited early in the restaurant, and sure enough, they saw Clive in a sailor suit, coupled with his fat body, the whole man looked very funny.
Such teasing was not enough, and Teddy Bear asked the waiter to send him a message that his father would not go because he loved his adopted Korean child more.
Having done all this, the two men wanted to see Clive's jokes, only to see him collapse and cry alone.
The next day they heard that Clive had attempted suicide, which made them feel so guilty that it had been on their minds all day.
Considering that he didn't study well, in order to encourage him, Teddy Bear called again, apologizing for not showing up and cheering Clive up, affirming his potential for learning.
Happily, Clive really passed the exam this time after being encouraged. John and Teddy Bear were happier than he was.
After that, one man and one bear really seemed to play the role of Clive's father, not only went to the store to buy gifts for him, but also quarreled about who loved his children more!
At last they confessed everything to Clive, and John untied Clive by saying that he would go to every concert.
The couple also experienced the power of love and support.
In addition, there are many warm and thought-provoking scenes in the play.
Marty refused to have an anorectal examination because he was afraid of being anesthetized and revealed his secret in Vietnam that he had "done indescribable things" to a dog during the war.
This incident has been difficult for him to speak up and unwilling to recall, but after learning the truth, the whole family respected him.
Also, my mother, Susan, has always been the gentlest and most patient in the family.
She does the housework of the whole family and endures Marty's bad temper.
However, she once had a bright future and would have become a teacher.
Blair couldn't bear to see her pay blindly and encouraged her to go out for employment. John also begged the principal to prepare a substitute position for his mother.
Susan was moved by everyone's kindness and really finished the first class smoothly.
But she decided to give up the job. She prefers to help others and cook for everyone at home rather than working outside. Just seeing everyone's smiling faces is enough to make her happy.
You can say that all the good people in the show.
This kind of warm family comedy is really suitable for the atmosphere of the upcoming Chinese New year, and the teddy bear in the play is more human than the movie version.
Generally speaking, the dean thinks that the play version is worth watching, and fans who are interested in this type of drama can download it and have a look.
