Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
正如三个火枪手有四人一样，芝加哥七君子有八位，黑人doesn't count。白左小雀斑果然靠不住！
莫须有罪政治作秀，两人凑数一人堵嘴；对抗父权只需扛棍棒，种族平等随时赔性命；花天酒地一镜之隔，警徽摘除暴力升级；和理非勇武不割席，“让我们的血流遍整座城”，回归述求阵亡名单……索金这剧本找导演拍找了十多年，终于在最贴合现实的时候自己上阵把片子拍出来了，可喜可贺
20年过去了。
不算很深入的思考。但是呈现的技巧太厉害了。
该短评因为评论人意识到将含有激进意识形态内容于是评论人已经代替审查人呀进行了严肃的自我阉割，
历史上没有哪一次的所谓正义的群体维权事件不会上升为流血和暴力，只能概括为四个字：乌合之众。
一开始记人名就很费脑子，也没看懂最后的高潮，完全不明白大家为何起立鼓掌，但不得不说剧本从头至尾都很抓人，风格很像《社交网络》，一查才知道原来导演就是编剧大人
用一场60年代的庭审戏借古讽今，各种因素仿佛一种昨日重现般一一对应。工整、扎实的剧本+精巧的剪辑，将庭审内外与每次开庭的前情提要巧妙穿插。
一个感想：在这个年代，煽动情绪远比启发思考要重要得多。哪怕你拍的是法庭戏。
这部片子里讨论了很多问题，比如性别歧视、种族歧视、毒品泛滥、系统性的滥用暴力、美霸权主义操控的海外战争等等。回溯过去两年的新闻，很容易发现这些问题始终蛰伏在社会的角角落落而从未得到妥善解决。
哎呀艾伦索金是不是完美诠释电影和电视剧本质区别的最好案例，放电视剧里这台词这标准答案一样的叙事节奏简直是神，但自己当电影导演吧就，中规中矩及格表现毫无新意（不能说不好不标准但看电影不是为了看好和标准
这世界充满苦难与未知的恐惧，但是总有一些阳光与温暖，总有一些东西让我们感受到阳光与温暖，于是我们还能继续活着
这是一场不会在中国朝鲜埃及伊朗等国经过审判的审判 看吧 马丁路德金 纳尔逊曼德拉这些前人的光辉笼罩着大地 法律的光辉照耀着我们每一个人 它在说 不要害怕 也不要惊慌 因为没人能够伤害我们
精彩！故事本身就是一个很复杂的议题，涵盖的关系、势力、思想很多，索金编剧也是厉害，每一条线都细节丰富，每个人物都个性分明，没有一个纸片人，同时主角也十分突出。整个过程科普了很多六十年代的历史，也有很多可以对照现实的值得思考的点。看完有点失落，我看过了十九世纪的故事，看过了六十年代的故事，我也想看有人讲今年的故事，讲去年的故事，讲三十年前的故事。还有可能吧。一代人的溃败，总有下一代人怀抱短刃上路的明天。
有一些点如“酒吧的窗内是惬意奢靡的50年代，而窗外却是鲜血淋漓的60年代”这一幕着实引人深省。但表面看索金是在沉痛的批判，但他越沉痛就越说明他爱美国之深。
又是五星新片，但和共同透露新方法的前几部不同，这是旧方法最后的夺目余晖。我的评价标准在近期几近重建：因为相比电影的本体性，接下来的十年很可能都需要更在乎载体性——电影作为通道，从来没有这么危险过；电影作为艺术，从来没有这么重要过。什么是表象权威，什么是根本权威，什么是“一条线”，什么是NPC，什么是辩证的力量（血？谁的血？），我会常常用这部电影来警醒我和我们的。
动人，十分动人。多视角多线路zoom in on人们在灾难发生时的真实状态：\机长/、镇长、中东人、教徒、母亲、动物保护者……Something‘s gone. 祈祷和高潮妙绝。Be a Newfoundlander! You are here in Gander town——结合严重疫情仍处于封闭时期的现状，我是被何打动而为何哭泣？
看的百老汇官摄版本，歌曲好听，剧情节奏紧凑，只是故事内容单纯不是很对胃口，始终无法打动我。
全世界都在看！好一个“误打误撞”的借古讽今？！枪林弹雨般的密集台词与行云流水的叙事节奏相得益彰，很显然，这是编剧的胜利，以及好剧本的魔力！
10多年前在《看电影》上读到过这个项目的存在，那时定的是斯皮尔伯格掌舵。十多年兜兜转转，不仅没胎死腹中，还恰好赶上了这个为少数族裔发声的时代，这才叫命运吧。而在佳片稀缺的2020年，索金的这部作品算是矮子里的将军了。
