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.
15-37英国《慕尼黑：战争边缘》
几个年轻人尽力在历史大潮中掀起一点小水花，片子的历史观与我们熟知的传统观点有些区别。
还行吧，导演就是把一位秘书如何获取德国情报的经历给拍了一遍，中间穿插着张伯伦与希特勒博弈的过程，但人物的表现力不如暴风前夕，尤其我不喜欢结尾张伯伦自我辩驳的那段言辞，这典型又是导演在那里借张伯伦的口抛出所谓的大棋论，你可以洗白张伯伦，说慕尼黑协定是缓兵之计，但麻烦导演能不能不要直接用嘴炮的方式表现人物的复杂性，这种表现形式tm有点蠢。个人认为塑造最好的人物是德国那位小哥，朴素爱国主义和极端民族主义的矛盾情感在他身上得到了体现，其他角色还是相对太单薄了。
欧洲版荆轲刺秦，结果荆轲输了，秦王也输了……给张伯伦翻案，给英国贴金，我就想问：世界大战“赢得”死缓一年，英国如果真在道德高地，为什么不主动通知欧洲其他国家也做好准备？比如一起签慕尼黑协议的法国后来一触即败；而且这一年，难道只有英国在备战吗？胸有成竹的希特勒难道没有赢得多一年的准备时间？这样想想，电影的narrative building 就显得幼稚至极了。另外英国男主演技很差，一张猿猴脸，永远惊诧木讷状，毫无厚度。他的老婆那条线也完全应该删掉，换成对莉娜角色的加强，这样开头结尾的大学三人行时光才有意义。
我们不能选择身处的时代，唯一能选择的就是如何去应对。。。
架空历史片，张伯伦真是各种让啊…也难怪二战后英国被彻底肢解……
在我眼里这不是政治片，是唯美的同志片呐！！夏天，男同的爱情永远在夏天
这么多明星拍的这么波澜不惊，还努力洗白了张伯伦
分分钟感觉两个人都要热吻在一起，
除了磕英德两位小哥哥的CP外没什么可看性.50/100
电影开始反思历史，我们学的历史都是说英法的绥靖政策导致二战爆发，这部电影从另外一个角度来评价张伯伦
当所有人都能闻到战争时，它是不可避免的。能把平淡的故事拍成怀疑和恐惧的困局，历史是已揭秘的悬疑吧。Paul容易理想化狂热，Hugh is just Like A Puppy. 间谍活动约等于余情未了前任见面，打字员姐姐逐渐理解了一切。
视角很独特，之前自己感觉一提到二战张伯伦就像罪人一样。。但能当上大不列颠首相的必然也不是傻瓜
这题材定位有点尬，不过演的不错，就完全能看下去
无论历史走向如何，个体都不应成为背锅侠。历史的长河从来都不会因为个人的改变而改变。
张伯伦说他只能打手里的牌，明明是怂了
虽然外媒评价并不好，但我个人还是挺喜欢这部片子，也补了补二战爆发前英德之间的微妙关系以及对张伯伦这个人的一些认识。几千万人的死活其实就掌握在一两个人的手中，而能影响这一两个人决定的是身边的秘书和助理，也许历史就会在那一刹那因为一个并不重要的身边人拐弯了，但谁能预料谁能阻挡历史的长河走向呢。当时的捷克斯洛伐克和当下的乌克兰真是惊人的相似。历史总会在不同中重复相似之处。
7/10，拍的很精致。但局限于历史真实，虚构的人物比较概念化。
不建议看，史观不正，可能主要是小说视角的问题。一年时间为英国备战作出贡献这种静态历史观太可怕了。大约和湾湾说不撕毁ecfa是怕立刻梧桐一样可笑，再等两年差距不更大了。
我记得以前有本书，书名《希特勒的私人图书馆》，每天批阅如此多的公文函件，他至少具备高强的逻辑思考能力和阅读能力，至于张伯伦为什么热衷如此的和平，也许大概是民意使然。站在历史的片尾看历史容易自大，站在历史的片头看历史，总归是始料未及，因为事情不是一下败坏的，而终是一天天败坏下去的。
