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.
好像瑞克和莫蒂真人版的尝试，灾难片+娱乐至死的喜剧氛围。其实用动画表现真的会更有表现力，节奏还能变得更快些，这个片长属实有点拖沓了。
狠狠的讽刺了娱乐至死、资本至上和政治把戏的荒唐无耻，看评论说不好笑，确实不好笑，也不是为了好笑的喜剧，更像是一部严肃主义者——就想剧中的主人公一样——在这样的世界里走投无路后破罐子破摔的荒诞剧。
新冠背景下的嘲讽与反思。最后结论是，其实我们该有的都有了。
四星的电影，我愿意给五星，因当下的环境而更精彩😂（其实应该弄的更劲些）
导演也是编剧，估计这几年自己说fuck后，有冷静的把愤怒点记下来，连带着地球毁灭吧的情绪，化作了本片。里面的角色你在现实中都能够找到对应人物，实在是给地球上的普通的各位出了口恶气。没想到，今年看到的最快乐的居然是本片，大家可以找来看看了。舒缓一些几年来压抑的情绪。
观感4；开头节奏怪，情绪别扭，就算是为了适配剧情固有的尴尬基调，也挺没必要；但影片过半，情绪就顺畅了，一路走高，最后煽情非常到位；结局之后还有个小结局，虽然情绪基调不一样，但格局拉大了，还有种水晶金字塔配卢浮宫的意思；可惜最后的最后还有个狗尾续貂的彩蛋，格局很小，生生减掉半分观感。本片上线正值针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪（尤其是黑人犯案）猖獗之时，却在仅有的两个警队群像镜头里于显眼位置安排了东亚裔警察；考虑到本片直白地讽刺了针对黑人的警察暴力，所以主创绝不可能意识不到这种安排的问题（近年出名的警察致黑人死亡事件中，先后有两名东亚裔警官卷入，引发亚裔-黑人关系的争议）。有戏份的亚裔角色有二，一是腐败无知的东亚裔女官员，一是出卖女主角的西亚裔前男友。这片应该能算“白左（黑左）不喜欢亚裔”的又一案例。
《这就是美国》（包括它能拍得出来）。最后大石头终于落地，我心里的石头也落了地。mankind deserves it。这卡司还是值得的，每个大牌都得以不太费力地本色出演，梅丽尔斯特里普更神奇地将希拉里和川普融为一体。Ariana Grande的那首歌已收藏。
不要抬头，现实里没有刷手机的快感，不要抬头，屏幕外没有你想要的答案。人们不再需要被理解只需要被看到，理性被情绪撕裂，贪婪将恐惧湮没，在最后的时刻一起走向毁灭。荒诞是现实而非效果，讽刺也只是结果不是目的，笑的时候千万别抬头，会流泪。
阿莫请你跟我说影片后面怪物是“阿凡达”这个把他们都吃掉了是吧…
自黑的真不错！！！！剧情老套，但自黑细节在过去12个月里都有真实事件能对上，非常好玩，而且很多都用的完全相反的人来表演。梅姨演trump可太够了，第一黑粉上场格外出众，每一句台词都有梅姨吐槽过的事对应。这个电影就算不赚钱，演员们起码爽了，就可以了，I think it's personal hahaha
爽！又好笑又悲凉，愚蠢的人类啊，可赶紧毁灭吧。《好莱坞左翼工作者协会正告美国人民书》
话说外圈的月亮干啥去了。
还是挺喜欢的，《疯狂的外星人》后传《疯狂的地球人》——“毁灭吧，赶紧的，累了！”
绝对的时事讽刺喜剧，从上到下黑了个遍，娱乐性与时政热点巧妙结合，用科幻的外壳讽刺了现实的荒诞。小李子的咆哮博士很有味道了，哈哈...
满屏就俩字，虚伪。左棍都是污染大户，就知道慷他人之慨。
4.5 虚无狂欢后褪去畏恐不安的落寞焦躁，我们早已拥有了一切—即主体发生的情感。终于也轮到好莱坞(美国)去完成对自身虚无演绎的质疑了吗？麦凯精通的荒诞喜剧类型精准演绎了这个濒临毁灭的世界无法直视真实存在的遮羞，诙谐揭示了众人麻痹自我娱乐至死的毒药。跟随泛庸的互联网悄然走入后媒介历程的形态变化，聒噪扁平的信息流之下有着令人惊愕的自反，彻底超水平发挥。大爆炸式的当代人类通史新编，对当下荒谬动乱时期中可能发生或者已经发生的社会政治、资本流通、权力斗争通过灾难片载体全部(暗讽)回溯了一遍，受流文化媒介影响的存在主义危机更是警醒着人类社群中真正危机的存在，而这个伴随华丽燃烧无谓反抗的过程就是人类实现浪漫的过程，也是宇宙唯一证实存在可被感知的事物。与所有自我毁灭相比，悬挂于空的彗星才是最微不足道的那个。
爽！又好笑又悲凉，愚蠢的人类啊，可赶紧毁灭吧。《好莱坞左翼工作者协会正告美国人民书》
就很直白地总结了过去两年的骂街片，虽然还是现实世界更荒诞一点。
21年最后一天看完的，超豪华的卡司，讽刺的本意是好的，但夹杂了太多没有用的环节导致观感极其分裂。。。
硬核好莱坞左派拍出来的两年目睹之怪现状，充斥着真挚的傲慢和愤怒。虽然还是挺好看的，但问题就是战斗性和幽默感本来就不太兼容。
