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.
电影很多内容，在当今也有意义，一面是保守主义，一面是激进的思想。你如果走中间，也就是阻止这两派，必然会遇到很大的阻碍。在这一过程中，必须要找到一种相对平衡，否则局势会失控。
和《巴霍巴利王》是一丘之貉，超现实主义的英雄史诗，不难看。
台词很棒，很多值得细细地品。这是个双男主的电影？反正我觉得是吧。在德国的他没有开枪也许是因为他被朋友的一番话打动了，而回到英国的他没有继续从事公职，的的确确是因为他终于认可了朋友的话。是行动or再等等希望？两种选择都无可厚非吧。
历史总是在不断地循环，俄乌对峙让欧洲又走到的战争边缘。
每个演员都很到位，老戏骨艾恩斯把张伯伦的绥靖演绎的到位 希特勒的演员选的不好
节奏稍有点慢，大国首脑博弈中穿插着同学之间的情报战和感情纠葛，诡异中又带点宿命的感觉
剧情张力有，两位小哥选角到位。有洗白张伯伦的倾向，不过已经盖棺定论的事要虚构发挥的空间不大。结尾人物逻辑稍欠佳，小人物突然明白自己无法撼动历史走势，有一种后见之明。
前有抗日大队手撕鬼子，后有印度革命两大战狼端了英国老巢。原来抛开意识形态，民族大义，家仇国恨看战狼是这么欢乐的一件事情。

三星半，扣分的全在政治戏。看完原著马上来看电影，如果说原著是严肃正经的政治辩论穿插少量个人情感，那么电影完全就是纯粹的抒情诗……电影比原著感性太多，所有给我留下深刻印象的段落都是和牛津三人组的过去和现在有关的，车里goodbye和片尾让我想哭。反而是和历史事实本身有关的叙述节奏太过仓促了，书里一番周旋反复拉扯才艰难达成的决定，电影里一句话就ok了，书里严谨缜密的秘密活动，电影也安排的如同儿戏……保罗的政治立场似乎也被改了一点，啤酒馆争论直接把他写成了希特勒的拥护者，一直是一副情绪不稳定的模样，battle那里实在吓到我了，用力过猛属于是。不过帅是真的帅，直接给加一星！感觉原书描述的passionate melancholy在电影中忧虑多思的一面表现得更多。
拍得很不错啊 摄影 动作 剧情 特效 都是上上乘 我们的抗战片能拍出这个水平 拍多少部我去影院贡献多少部票房 而不是现在CJH那种玩意 甚至比那更烂的比比皆是
在这样的话面前，我不想说张伯伦和绥靖政策
类型：剧情/历史/爱情/（以及神话..）
好可惜。绥靖政策，对于好人是宽容和机会，但对坏人，那就是纵容和资助。揭穿画皮宜早不宜迟，越拖代价越大。导演对张伯伦是支持和尊敬的。因为拖延给了其他国家准备时间，也为最终的胜利奠定了基础，情感上是可以理解的，但是逻辑是未必成立的，并没有强相关。不能由结果去推导原因，这是不严肃和不科学的，当然这是文艺作品，但也不能用力过猛哦。
扣人心弦，非常入戏，能感受到那种极度的紧张。
兄弟俩的恩怨情仇还是很有意思的，就是女性角色也太工具人了……
挺不错的 久别多年的老友在关键局势下重逢 见证历史的重大事件
正好看到一个高校公开课《二次创作》，就是同样的故事从另外一个角度来讲，以此来发现一些所谓已经盖棺的定论的可能的新解释。历史不可能更改了，当时的人物的真实内心，我们只能用猜测。是希特勒耍弄了张伯伦，还是张伯伦拖住了希特勒？以历史后来的发展，肯定是希特勒耍了张伯伦了，无论这部电影如何来解释都无济于事。看透希特勒的是丘吉尔，而不是张伯伦！这部电影的唯一感想，就是这个世界上蠢人太多。
史上最暴躁最沉不住气的间谍二人转（？）然而我还是被Paul禁欲系美色深深吸引，这可能也是因为Hugh那张朱元璋似的鞋拔子脸的衬托。党卫军专业户August Diehl又贡献了豹海豹那般恐怖的凝视和微笑。紧凑而抒情，很喜欢。
