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.
这部给我的感觉很奇怪，一方面，情节注水过多，节奏又乱又拖沓；另一方面，160分钟塞满了热点要素，该讲的情节却太多没讲。律师和警察两条线明明可以齐头并进，反转点到为止即可。
影片中涉及到的这些主体和荒诞事件，或多或少的发生在如今这个世界的每个角落，变革还是革命？这是这部影片带给我们的思考，也是每一个国家和每个公民都应该思考的命题。
一开始以为又是一部女权，看到后面才知道升级到了对愚民政治的嘲讽，不过关键转折还是要靠副督察良心发现才能完成，实际可能性很低，看来任何体质都是一样黑暗的，学生永远都是最有革命热情，也最容易被鼓动的群体。
“政治家最大的武器，你知道什么吗？ 是公众的情感，是疯狂。他们的思想、智慧还有决策，都会被这种疯狂压倒。一旦被这种疯狂所煽动，他们就不只是党员了，他们会成为信徒，我们要 点燃他们的情感，当他们因为这种情绪而忘记其他一切的时候，我们就能实现统治”
做到如此只手遮天的地步，这个结局只会让所有人显得更加渺小。
但是也是在这类问题上的佳作。
今年的印度高分电影好多。
很多高光时刻，但也有些地方的故事模糊不清，法庭上那场戏最精彩，一再反转，在大众狂欢中以为自己得到了真相与正义，但实际上只是一种情绪宣泄，叫嚣着正义却成为了屠杀的刽子手。情感成为大众被操控的工具，一旦大众情绪被煽动，理智将不复存在。媒体应该是报道真相的媒介和话筒，却成为了政治工具。我们该如何在这个信息时代的冗杂信息里分辨真假呢？如何能知道自己的革命将刀剑指向了真正的敌人而非成为敌人的工具呢？革命万岁，但是革谁的命？既觉得讽刺又觉得有点无力，但是大概我们都需要狠狠的摔倒才知道真正正确的方向。坐在旁观席上，我们任何人都可以发表意见，但是是否有勇气付诸实践呢？不怕犯错不怕流血不怕一切黑暗。随着鞭笞，火焰将蔓延开来；随着鲜血溅出，一定会有救赎。
民意裹挟之下，何为真相？腐败的校园，阴暗的政治，法治的缺位。多重反转的结尾，何时社会才能真正民主
妇女地位问题、教育问题、种姓问题、政治问题等等，诸多问题汇于一炉却丝毫不显凌乱，除了韩国电影，现在连印度电影都这么敢拍了……
仅几部印度电影不断刷新深度高度……评本片，用警察总督对副手的那句台词：“这就是政治”！
1知遇之恩，2无法一起变强的友谊该如何安放。不是剧场版，是两集拼的。最可爱给：嘟嘟嘴喝茶吹吹的三三老师；歪脖子露出金色铃铛耳环的三蓧帅。夏天了，后会有七。
-彼时彼刻？-恰如此时此刻。-竟能如此相像？-像，太像了，不过你比他缺了一样东西。-不会是脸上的麻子吧？-当然不是，【你不会装糊涂】
目前来说，今年最好的电影来自印度、有创造自由的国家值得尊重，能把问题摆上台面拍成电影推动的是整个社会的进步！最后不得不说，年轻人失去血性是最大的悲哀。这条路有尽头吗，我们都像这个世界的傀儡—歌词的绝望，希望也孕育而生…
很敢拍，国内是肯定没法上映了。 教授很好看，美女一个。一个电影揭露了法律的腐败，警察的腐败，学校的腐败，体质的腐败。不过反转有点生硬，虽然是为了突出警察的黑，但是从故事的角度，有点刻意。
看到有网友说“半小时弃了”，真为他感觉惋惜，因为真正的主角真正的核心，直到1小时21分才正式开始。2小时40分钟，也担心过白费时间，但并没有。那种在一分一秒中，犹如海面涨潮一般被层层展现的真相、被慢慢堆叠的情感，在最后轰然崩塌了。
3、种姓，阶级问题
“被委托了完成不了的任务一定很难受吧，但是大人相信我能做到，我一定要回应这份期待，不是吗？”“嗯，是啊。密实是很厉害的，岩铁大人是知道这一点的。” | “你要是有在意的事，和我说就好了。”“嗯，你说得对啊。”
讲述了一个现实，当人们被情绪裹挟，失去理智的思考。
不剧透，太精彩！对咱们也有深刻的警示意义。
