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.
装腔作势地跟拍一段无逻辑的运动，随后的大全景自曝其片场实质，电影小镇级别的置景完全僵死，人物在各种精致构图的钳制下如同木偶。为什么要对标《罗马》？几乎和国产片水平差不多，报奥斯卡之前不如先来春节档走一圈，让大伙看看北爱版《我和我的父辈》
远好过他自导自演的两部波罗，至少在这部电影中有真情实感而不只有自大自恋。是讨巧的，精致到好像每一步都精确计算过，从诗句到老电影到配乐，甚至到每一滴眼泪，从而显得有些矫情，而且单薄。但谁没有童年呢，谁不会向往象征着无忧无虑无拘无束充满了无数可能性天大的事不过是眼前最小的事的童年呢？能感受这些，就够了。老电影是彩色的，其他都是黑白的。
1.13补标
镜头感超级好的一部黑白片，关于北爱尔兰的近代故事。
肯爵写给家乡的情书，非常personal的作品。剧情主要叙述了家庭琐事，冲突可以说完全感受不到。
理应很私人，但童年散文般的叙事太刻意地想要讲述大时代下的暗流涌动，很难带入。
难道黑白色的童年与故土回忆都很真实，电影与舞台上的想象力才能带来彩色吗？多的是影像上的调度，但置身动乱中的临场感稍弱，还是说我们都代入了天真无邪的童年视角呢？60年代爱尔兰的贝尔法斯特从时间、空间上都距离当下的我太遥远了～
今天刚出炉的金球奖提名入围最佳影片导演男女配等6项大奖。"For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost."最后结尾的这三句话让我鸡皮疙瘩一下子就起来了。这个电影的主题就是这三句的浓缩，贝尔法斯特是家乡，有留下的老人，伦敦是新世界，有前往的年轻人，离开和到达在那个年代不光是远距离的牵绊，更是感情的遥望。这是北爱的导演自己的一封家书，也是感情复杂的一封情书。男女配作为一线大牌的顶级超模双双入围金球奖最佳配角可喜可贺。
1.黑白电影
Be good. Behave yourself. 好熟悉。如果不是过不好，谁愿意背井离乡呢……配乐好棒，黑白好怀旧，爱！The sea is wide， and I can’t swim over.
BGM相当不错，一首接一首的，让我这似曾相识的半吊子一直在搜歌，朱迪丹奇饰演的奶奶结尾的台词让人感动，仿佛好生活永远在别处，但可是别处为啥总是那么几个地方呢......试问谁不想在故土之上欣然久住，可是总有一些十足的畜生打着非常好听的名号在破坏最基础的根基，满足他们称霸世界却包装成复兴荣光的狼子野心，这或许才是好生活不能得行的原因。
真的很讨厌这种把社会运动背景化，模糊化和脸谱化的电影 我们可以想象一部这样的电影：68年的时候，一对青年情侣既不想参加学生运动，也不想站在教授那一边；男生想去美国找到他们的救赎，女孩子因为家庭原因不肯走；最后女孩子父亲死了，母亲把他们送去了美国，远离了巴黎这个是非之地～～～(所以有没有导演来找我啊 我剧本都写好了呢)
有选择本身就是一件幸福的事情，不知道为啥这句话会冒出来。
5.女主真无语😑，哭哭哭，最烦了，再好看整天又哭又闹都烦得很，父母商量事情就在孩子面前，要给孩子听，就叫醒了一起说清楚，不给孩子听就tm滚远点说，夫妻吵架也在孩子面前吵，什么玩意父母，虽然男主女主都互爱，对孩子也挺好，但是也有不完美的地方
3/8/2022 开头一出来就不是很喜欢 镜头和整体影片感觉很不搭 很多镜头角度和构图有点刻意 与整体故事和剩下镜头脱离 很漂亮但是很刻意
历史上的北爱尔兰冲突，是九岁孩童眼里一场迫使他们举家迁离的沉痛记忆。但即便在这样一个随时有暴力枪火的环境，那段童年时光里依然有着初恋、电影、亲情等等让人莞尔一笑的生活小美好（里面的彩蛋很有意思）。这部半自传式的作品，是Kenneth在疫情lockdown期间的回思感悟，对爱尔兰人身份的追根溯源，也是一封致以家乡满腔柔情的告白信。（Q&A期间导演一度潸然落泪呜呜）但话说回来，查了一下发现北爱问题依旧存在，那么导演在这里是否带有偏袒某方的个人情绪了呢？另外，很难不把这部跟Roma作比较，而后者在我心里大大胜出。电影的镜头语言虽有炫技嫌疑，但这些刁钻的构图，非常戳我的审美。最后表白一下小演员Jude Hill，选角太出色了呀，好想抱回家！
二十分钟以后，Colin出现了，他演的是一个恶棍。dear Merlin ！对爱尔兰不了解真的很难进入。爱尔兰有天主教、新教，有共和军，有凯尔特文化，St. Patrick，吉普赛魔法……他们平时说话像念诗，念诗像唱歌……法鲨演的羞耻里面兄妹俩也是来自爱尔兰……爱尔兰到底是个什么存在啊。have a wee think...
太尼玛做了，尴尬😅
您这童年往事着实也没啥可值得自溺其中的，更没必要替广大游子吟出个悲秋。《罗马》倒过来是爱，贝尔法斯特倒过来应该是大写的FALSE吧。毫无旧日温度的干净布景上，演员们步履匆匆，穿过的不是岁月洪流，而是急着去拿盒饭。
非常私人。真实印证了影人在成名过后会把自己的回忆过水捞一下给大家吃的流程，里面一定会加自己最喜欢的料，比如这部铺的满的不行的音乐，但是却给观众0感动。（非常努力的代入了，你真不能说它拍的不好，但是真的很流水账）
