Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

被片名骗了，实际是说ptsd疗伤的事，说好的赌神呢！
85/100 整部電影以牌局和復仇兩條簡單的線索同時推進，不過施拉德對兩者都進行了大篇幅的留白處理，我們既不明晰牌局的規則，也不清楚復仇的細節，更不知道用白床單籠罩整個房間的意義，換言之，我們是這部電影的旁觀者，只能遠遠地觀望，並非直接參與者。施拉德有意地簡化了過程（牌局的部分幾乎是符號化的），只向我們展示前因與後果，這種布列松式的抽離設計貫徹全片，給人的感覺如同男主的撲克臉那般沈著冷靜。男主無疑是在牌桌上振臂高呼的美利堅先生光鮮外表的反面，他的過往代表了美國最不堪入目的陰暗面，但真正有權勢的階層是無需上桌的，是隱身的，就像背後支持的金主與全身而退的上校，手上沾血的永遠不會是他們，抱屈含冤的永遠只會是我們，因此這也是一部關於剝削與被剝削者之間博弈的電影。
伊薩克的臀部太迷人了。開頭幾分鐘算牌的原理是講解明白了，但是腦子算不過來。魚眼鏡頭是一個很好的拍摄效果。三首插曲恰好配合情節進展，改變了情緒的流向。這部電影的感情較為混沌，戰後反思不批判則沒有良心，而纯批判很容易淪為虛偽，這種切面至少是一種真實的角度
想起了PTA的赌城纵横，故事简单却处处透着作者的气息。情节没那么复杂算计，也没有浮夸的爱恨纠葛，有的只是一个祈求宽恕的男人。最好的一点还在于不煽情。
在干净，顺滑的数字平面上，许多调度都极为迷人，别的没了
主题和算牌的关联性有些不明所以。顶尖的算牌人理当由细节及微表情洞悉他人内心，可终究没看清一个嫩头青的决绝。自我的救赎终究不能心平气的和完成，身受才能成全感同，罪与罚才得以消解。整体来说故事节奏较慢，圣母式的设定没有可信任的基础，爱情来的突然，以爱结尾更有些莫名其妙，并不算很吸引我的片子。
事实证明，再有钱也不要随便给人钱，可能会害死别人
是导演很私人很纯粹的电影，大赞极简不浮夸不炫技的摄影，表达欲即便被主观镜头牢牢框住也要溢出屏幕了。where's oscar's oscar anyway
其实跟算牌基本上没一点关系，这就是一个有肮脏过去的人通过想救赎一个男孩来救赎自己的自我救赎的故事。评分那么低可能跟前一个小时的无聊有关，但后面还救回来点。拍摄手法玩的挺花。这男的我沙丘没get到在这部get到了，真是个daddy。
虽然将题材从宗教转变为赌博，但保罗施拉德通过沉稳、缓慢的叙事节奏隐隐约约让本片有着影史最沉闷赌片的潜质，故事本质上还是在延续《第一归正会》的通过自我救赎走出过往，只是回忆中鱼眼广角镜头下的虐囚与当下赌桌上逢赌必赢的“USA”口号，多少是在讽刺美国当下体制内的病态犹如这一场场赌局，看似充满希望，实则深陷泥潭
Redemption is addictive with no end in sight for sinners seeking an end
说实在话我不知道片子到最后是要讲什么，难道是伤害别人的人也有PTSD吗？谁能给我解解惑
4.5星。运镜非常有特点，喜欢鱼眼广角镜头和霓虹灯小屋~

这苦闷下要迸发出来的能量 镜头声音节奏都喜欢。我有点儿觉得i feel you 这想法又莫名可笑。
我怀疑不懂德州扑克是我看不进去这部电影的主要原因，连摄影师反复给Oscar各种勾人特写都不能阻止我昏昏欲睡，看完b站首页直接出现德州扑克教程…破防了😥
ᐈ我不喜欢名流赌局，我喜欢低调赌博
以为是赌片，结果看完才发现是公路片，公路感十足但是没有把最核心的“救赎”给讲好
来自维基：“电影2020年2月24日在密西西比州比洛克西展开主要拍摄。2020年3月16日，一名从洛杉矶飞来的小配角演员被检验出COVID-19阳性反应，使拍摄在五天后暂停。拍摄于2020年7月6日恢复，7月12日宣告杀青。”
以为是好看的 其实 很乏味 表面上风格独特 其实无聊加没逻辑
