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.
2.4星，配乐和片尾曲非常好，但是剧情真的非常套路无聊，虽然后期好一点点了但仍然是我那个每一步都能猜到并且毫不意外的发展。如果能用做画面的用心程度设计剧情就好了。
技术、画面、分镜都很成熟了，但文本依旧弱鸡，请问你为什么要把中心思想像口号一样喊出来？这是广播剧，或者观众都是盲的吗？励志煽情都太生硬，以至于我当场开始怀念周星驰。主角进入广州后，有了点现实主义的清风，但导演还是不太会在喜剧片中处理苦难 （于是我又开始怀念周星驰）。另外一个问题就是插曲没用好。ending还是很高光，鼓点真的是太燃了，喜欢这一段！
推开楼顶的门，少年一人练习舞狮到天明——从这里开始，一直到电影结束，都很好，电影所要传达的，我感受到了。没有聚焦到成功与喝彩，而是落于那股力，最后回归生活。如果演员们的口音再本地化一点就更好了～
但明确瑕不掩瑜与居心叵测的分野也必要。
画面、人物、节奏没话说，难能可贵将镜头对准了底层、留守儿童。故事稍弱，缺乏真实感，导致缺乏深度。但作为国产动画，他的优点已经足够五星了！
每个平凡人的心中，都有一头猛兽，
编剧的烂梗是真的尬住，剧情老套，但是探讨的阶级/梦想之议题值得鼓励
梦想的队伍有人离去，其他队员和教练在人员不再齐整的情况下都还沉浸在继续中，把离开的队员的梦想当做自己最重要的事去完成，反正这种羁绊我是不大信
综合来看属于近几年国产动画里最扎实可喜的一部，那种动画里常见的花里胡哨不接地气的问题得到了极大的改善，虽然是热血少年向，但意外地写实，留守儿童和舞狮文化结合的也很自然，喜剧部分和比赛的情绪感染力都到位，没有依赖神话IP加分，五条人的歌曲和各种梗的运用也很增色，很推荐去看，毕竟南狮实在是太可爱了没有人可以不被萌到
但这不妨碍探究一件事物本源的勇气和耐心，
1. 阿娟坐🚌离开村子的那首插曲并不适合那个moment 我瞬间抽离出戏
李白那段
4.5。聚焦文化传统舞狮，本广东人看得莫名的怀念。庙会，舞狮，以及鼓点，一切都是那么熟悉。总会被片中的人感动，「我不后悔。」「我后悔啊！」又想起那个高楼舞狮的少年，灵动的狮头迎着阳光。片头片尾相互呼应，孱弱的病猫成长为了一头飞跃高空的雄狮。末尾的彩蛋没有必要，就让梦停留在那一刻吧。醒来后还是回到了现实。
内地难得的现实主义题材动画！技术过硬，场景渲染细腻，动作设计流畅，光影运用纯熟，人物造型不网红，既有辨识度又可爱，阿娟的平头很帅啊！音乐加分，五条人和九连真人首尾呼应、恰到好处，唢呐一起，立马嗨！故事虽然是看似老套的燃炸热血少年励志，但底色落在现实中，不悬浮，没有盲目煽情，比较克制！尤其是片尾阿娟掉入水中以及彩蛋都非常重要！生活需要一点点小奇迹，就像那束穿过高楼大厦的阳光，它可以支撑普通而平凡的人们继续脚踏实地，与命运抗争！个人感觉非常适合内地选送去参加奥斯卡外语片。（毕竟哪吒也选过）五星鼓励！Ps：还好今天下午看了，晚上全城电影院就因为疫情关闭了。💔(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
好棒！本土热血动画就该这么搞。配乐非常好。
但是就是…前大半部分一大堆笑点真的get不来（这俏皮话写得也太傻了），其中几个场景的人物站位布置也好别扭，包括笑料文本本身的陈旧逻辑和太平缓的念白节奏都让抖包袱抖出来特别重的表演成分，这笨拙得有点烦人的幽默感好像我几个好瞎搭人话的同学，以及他们说完一个烂梗后其他人不理睬并显出死吗脸的场景，淦。
前半部分很有周氏电影少林足球的味道 到后半部开始有些不同 环境渲染很不错很真实 狮头的细节处理也很细腻 就是人物太丑了 每次老猫出来我都要吐槽一句太丑了 不过裤衩人字拖很有两广特色了 喜欢后面两个处理一个是阿娟是姐姐并不是什么女主 二是最后狮头挂在上面 这个处理比人上去强太多 为这从四星加到五星 再接再厉
除了最后擎天一跳比较燃，其余部分都一般（翻了翻短评，都这么容易感动吗？）
题材是好的，但是善的和恶的都极其脸谱化，励志不代表一个人物的经历要融合所有被同情的生存元素，这样的创作极其戏剧化，商业化元素也过于浓厚，导演的很多创作意图都是好的，但我个人不欣赏这类创作，它的创作逻辑还是中国电影常用的一种，在我看来很落后的一种。
但是分开庸作和佳作的差别就在于套路之外的部分。
