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.
皮克斯在年底给成年人的一点点安慰。
民胞物与嘛，像是一个冷冰冰的说理机器，和《头脑特工队》真的差距太大，概念做成短片或许更好一点。
「有时，我听风过耳，我觉得为了听风过耳，也值得出世为人 。」——佩索阿
爵士乐的主题很棒，能感受到很多细腻温柔的内里。其实哪有什么梦想至上，光是做到好好活着这一件事，就已经很了不起了。生活本身，就比其中所谓的闪光点要伟大得多。去好好感知它，这是有灵魂的人该做的事。
自然而没有一字多余的台词，真实而没有一秒多余的桥段！心化了，真希望当年的1900能遇见你！
人到中年看这个真是扎心，话倒是两句好话，可惜没有用啊
要目送秋叶翩然归土，要为日落的绝美而泪目，也要因绿芽冒出土地而欣喜，对初升的朝阳跳跃欢呼。这些微末，也会令人觉得不虚此行、不枉一生。
多给点排片吧，那么好的片子。101分钟逃离现实的治愈，抚慰了2020充满绝望的一年。梦想不一定是人生目标，活在当下才是。愿大家2021，好好过。
我特别喜欢跌落维度那一段，用一种宇宙感的音乐呈现绝望感。【新】一个不想死，一个不想活，或许更好的结局是，一个坦然赴死，一个欣然出生。在你们生下孩子之前，有问过他们是否愿意来到世界吗？可如果能选择离开，你舍得吗？
皮克斯的精妙和伟大，是可以把最质朴的人生哲理用最创意、喜乐参半、老少皆宜的方式表现出来，没有一点说教和故作高深的痕迹，一切表达自然而然，随着故事剧情和曼妙调皮的爵士乐潜入人心。真是至暗的2020年最真诚温暖的一剂心灵良药，结尾的闪回依然让我热泪盈眶。回想这一年的种种，回想那些曾经想要去追求的宏伟目标和梦想，那些虚无缥缈执念和奢求，开始自省，不如看看眼前已经拥有的美好。能健康地活着，享受每日的阳光一草一木的美，被人疼爱被照顾，已经是人间最大的幸事。再宏大的蓝图，也比不上生活瞬间绽放的微小的美好。也在不经意间收获了今生最好的礼物，在知道有了孩子那一刻，我也找到了自己的22号。
皮克斯一贯的水准。后排母子二人看得很投入，妈妈比儿子看得更开心，一会儿哭一会儿笑。或许经历过困苦的成年人更懂得平凡生活里的快乐和幸福。
我们俩都看哭了，pixar又做了一部讨论生活的意义的电影
影片直白地道明了主旨：生活的火花就是那些令你愿意活下去的东西。
概念不弱，但执行起来差强人意。整个世界观的搭建以及偶有的神来之笔 让人眼前一亮，但并没有像头脑特工队那样一路玩下去。从重回人间 开始就一泻千里，身体互换梗还能发生在2020年代的皮克斯电影里意想不到的失望。剧情逻辑上的搭建也异常松散，鸡汤论题像是这极为特殊的元年的安慰剂。
活着本身拥有了人生的意义了，享受现下的每一刻，抓住的一片落叶，蔚蓝的天空，自己的朋友家人，有时候越纯粹越快乐。
看预告以为是和《头脑特工队》很像，但看下来发现并不尽然。非常简单又细致的笔触，让你从另一个角度看待人生和生活，regular old living也可以充满美和感动。中间一度让我泪崩。PS：电影有一段把尼克斯黑出翔了哈哈。PPS：片尾最后字幕写“The Production of Pixar Animation Studios”之后有一行小字是“…and in homes at least six feet away from each other."看到之后会心一笑，这一行字可真是在2020年末时节对这一年最真实的心酸写照。PPPS：全部字幕出完之后只有一个彩蛋，是吼你“The movie is over. Go home!”所以往后迪士尼的电影彩蛋都是喊你别等彩蛋赶紧回家了吗哈哈……
啊，在这艰难的一年年末有这样一部悄悄戳人泪腺，让人哭完还觉得治愈的片子，多难得啊，即使出了影院世界还是这么糟糕，但就是想把这碗鸡汤一饮而尽。推荐喜欢听爵士乐的观众，你会听到不亚于《爱乐之城》水平的银幕演出；推荐喜欢看特效的观众，有几个场景我想到了《星际穿越》的五维空间(这个可能有点牵强)；至于本来就喜欢《头脑特工队》《寻梦环游记》式设定的皮克斯爱好者，啊快去看呀！
你始终不明白，一万个美好的未来，抵不上一个温暖的现在。
我們所經歷的每個平常的日常，就是連續發生的奇跡
把一个终极复杂的问题给予简单化理想化迪士尼化的给解决了，我可去你妈的吧。
