Early Life

Date of Birth: November 24, 1958

Place of Birth: Oran, French Algeria

Nationality: French (he became a French citizen after Algeria's independence in 1962)

Alain Chabat was born in Oran, Algeria, while it was still under French control. After Algeria gained independence, his family moved to France, where he grew up. Chabat showed an interest in the arts from a young age, gravitating towards humor and comedy.

Career Beginnings

In the early 1980s, Chabat worked as a radio DJ for several French stations. His natural charisma and wit quickly earned him recognition, which led to his involvement in television. By the mid-1980s, he joined a group of comedic talents on the TV program Les Nuls (The Zeros) on the French network Canal+.

Breakthrough with Les Nuls

Alongside comedians Dominique Farrugia, Chantal Lauby, and Bruno Carette, Chabat became a founding member of Les Nuls. The group was instrumental in pioneering a new form of irreverent, absurdist humor in France, inspired by American shows like Saturday Night Live. Their comedy sketches and parodies on shows such as Objectif: Nul and Les Nuls, L'Émission became instant hits in the late 1980s, building Chabat's reputation as a comedic force.

Film Career

Chabat transitioned into film in the 1990s, both as an actor and a filmmaker, with a career that has included a variety of roles and genres:

1. Acting

La Cité de la Peur (1994): Co-written by Les Nuls, this cult comedy parodied thriller films and became a landmark in French comedy. Chabat's role in it remains iconic.

Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002): Chabat directed and starred as Caesar in this hugely successful adaptation of the Asterix comic books. It became one of the highest-grossing French films of all time and is celebrated for its clever humor and visual appeal.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009): Chabat played Napoleon Bonaparte, bringing his humor to an international audience in this Hollywood film.

2. Directing and Writing

Chabat has directed several films that reflect his unique comedic style, known for its sharp wit and absurdist elements:

Didier (1997): This comedy, which Chabat directed and starred in, tells the story of a man whose dog magically transforms into a human. Didier won the César Award for Best Debut, cementing Chabat's reputation as a talented director.

Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002): As director and co-writer, Chabat brought together a stellar cast and created a beloved adaptation of the Asterix comics. The film's humor resonated widely, making it a classic in French cinema.

Santa & Cie (2017): In this family comedy, Chabat starred as Santa Claus on a mission to save Christmas, mixing humor with a heartwarming storyline.

Television Work

In addition to his early television career with Les Nuls, Chabat has continued to work in TV. He hosted Burger Quiz, a popular comedic game show in France, which allowed him to showcase his trademark wit and interact with celebrity guests. Burger Quiz originally aired in the early 2000s and was revived in 2018, maintaining a loyal following.

Actor & director & screenwriter - Dominique Farrugia (born 2 September 1962) - Watch this - Apocalypse EXPLAINED - READ the Synopsis - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

This movie is a high-stakes sci-fi adventure that merges the worlds of Transformers with human characters. It kicks off with Unicron, a planet-consuming entity, attacking the Maximals’ homeworld. The Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, flee to Earth with a powerful Transwarp Key, pursued by Unicron’s heralds, the Terrorcons.

The story then shifts to Earth in 1994, focusing on Noah Diaz, who unwittingly encounters the Autobot Mirage disguised as a Porsche. Concurrently, museum intern Elena Wallace discovers the Transwarp Key hidden in an ancient statue. This discovery sets off a chain of events as the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the Terrorcons arrive on Earth to retrieve the key.

The conflict escalates as battles ensue, leading to revelations about the key being split in two halves to prevent Unicron’s access. Elena and the Autobots embark on a mission to find the second half in Peru, facing the threat of Scourge corrupting their allies and attempting to unleash Unicron.

Noah, initially aiming to protect Earth by destroying the key, eventually allies with Optimus to prevent Unicron’s invasion. A massive battle unfolds between Autobots, Maximals, and the Terrorcons. Noah, aided by Bumblebee and using an exo-suit fashioned from Mirage’s damaged body, plays a crucial role in the conflict.

In a dramatic climax, Optimus sacrifices himself to stop Unicron, but Noah and Primal manage to save him and thwart Unicron’s plans, leaving the Autobots stranded on Earth. The conclusion sees the Autobots accepting Earth as their new home, Noah finding unexpected opportunities, and the promise of continued protection for Earth.

The mid-credits scene hints at Noah’s resourcefulness in repairing Mirage, showcasing his growing connection to the Autobots’ world.

Étude de cas: Simon Jérémi

/!\ Si vous êtes émétophobe, ce post n’est pas pour vous !

Bonjour ! Aujourd’hui commence le festival de Cannes. Pour l’occasion, j’ai décidé de me pencher sur un film dont l’intrigue se déroule au cours du festival de Cannes: La cité de la peur. Je vais me pencher sur le cas du personnage de Simon Jérémi, incarné par le comédien français Dominique Farrugia. Son personnage est notamment célèbre pour sa phrase «Quand je suis content, je vomis». En avant !

On ne sait que peu de choses sur le personnage de Simon. Néanmoins, nous disposons de quelques faits: premièrement, bien qu’adulte, sa maturité est celle d’un jeune enfant, on peut parler sans peine de retard mental (note: Présenter un retard mental n’est en rien un signe de stupidité!). Deuxièmement, il vomit sur commande, spécifiquement quand il est content. Enfin, son rêve était d’être projectionniste, mais son père l’en a empêché, le forçant à devenir acteur.

Ces quelques faits me font arriver à la conclusion que Simon est atteint de mérycisme. C’est spéculer, mais on peut supposer que quand il était enfant, il avait déjà tendance à vomir sur commande pour que l’on s’occupe de lui. Ainsi, il a associé le fait de ruminer sa nourriture, avant de la vomir, à une situation émotionnelle positive. D’où le fait qu’il associe le fait de vomir au fait d’être content, même une fois devenu adulte.

Mais pourquoi aurait-il eu besoin de recourir à un tel stratagème ? Le peu que l’on sait de son lien avec son père, qui ne le laisse pas être qui il est, laisse à penser qu’il a grandi dans un milieu où régnait la carence affective. Or, il s’agit là du 1er facteur d’apparition du mérycisme. Il est également à noter que ce trouble est rare en dehors des bébés, mais peut s’observer chez des personnes plus âgées, enfants, ados, adultes, le plus souvent chez des personnes présentant un autre TCA ou chez des personnes présentant un retard mental… ce qui est le cas de Simon.

Je ne dis pas que Simon est officiellement atteint de mérycisme. Pour être honnête, je pense qu’au moment d’écrire leur film, Les Nuls ignoraient l’existence de ce trouble: dans le cas contraire, ce TCA aurait gagné une petite célébrité, et il ne serait pas si difficile de se documenter dessus ! Cependant, il faut l’avouer: la grille de lecture du mérycisme s’applique parfaitement au personnage de Simon Jérémi. Ce n’était pas volontaire, mais cette comédie a dressé un meilleur portrait de TCA que certains films cherchant à faire de la prévention dessus. Comme quoi il ne faut pas juger un livre sur sa couverture, et toujours penser à faire ses recherches !

Merci de m’avoir lue jusqu’au bout ! Prenez soin de vous et à bientôt !
