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.
很明白导演要表达的议题，但是作为一部类型片，该在自洽逻辑世界里交代清楚的问题必须要交代清楚啊！不是有控诉就大完全世界的。
乔丹·皮尔估计准备靠种族问题这一题材吃很久吧，如今将以往的恐怖片ip当作反英雄来拍似乎已经成为一股潮流，然而整体却拍得凌乱不堪，剧情聊胜于无，唯一赞叹的是影片的色彩应用和摄影构图，尤其是片头倒立的俯拍城市画景，很有意境。此外影片所反映的政治社会问题实在难以打动我，“蜂巢”的概念算是有点意思之处。
开头就在泄气，恐怖的氛围没起来，我就看见一群人在喊口号似的，告诉我一切多么恐怖，黑人社团只要肤色不对，在哪里都不对。糖果人，不如说是给你裹了一层蜜糖的毒物，正如黑人的处境。咋说呢，我随便你写啥议题，问题是，这片子，它不行啊，它就是很无聊，作为一个打着恐怖片的旗号的片子，我看了啥啊。
好家伙，又是恐怖塞进去政治议题。这还看不出政治议题，那我就只能……
有点受够了乔丹皮尔的万事种族恐怖片 好像离开了种族压迫就不会讲故事了？明明是恐怖片的设定 最后镜中恶魔演化成黑人兄弟的守护神 专杀“高高在上”的白人 对黑人网开一面 精神内核变成了低配版黑豹。如今美国黑人可以当总桶 入学入职处处受优待 打砸抢不必伏法 还想要怎样才算“平等对待”？
看得云里雾里，政治议题和整个故事并没有形成很好的结合，就感觉导演很想煮一锅香喷喷的饭，但是一个半小时后打开一看发现水还是水，米还是米。
开头一段挺不错，但后面把议题塞得过满导致恐怖元素完全被掩盖，这并不是明智的做法
皮条客和“小三”通过性联系在一起的故事，如果两个人有什么感情，也是对比自己高一层的那个阶级的向往，绚烂的手法拍了一个最俗套的故事。
3.5，对于黑人剥削电影范式的一次元叙事运用
这部电影整体观感并没有那么差，虽然只给了三颗星，但在IMDB还是给的7分，可以作为导演Nia DaCosta的代表作，电影里不仅是杀死了白人，回忆片段中黑人小孩也有，不管是不是真的，都千万别去试，影片对糖果人的诞生背景进行更详细的解释，最后的短片阐述了更深层的意义，被蜂群腐蚀的身体，钩子安上的手，糖果人是黑人群体被白人常年累月歧视的悲剧。
摊开来讲的黑人政治恐怖电影，设定跟配乐都挺不错，剧情差了点，结局像是我刚铺垫完就结束了？
这导演所有片子就围着种族歧视这个框使劲装东西，看多了真没意思，虽然片子继承了首版糖果人的诸多设定还有结尾的惊喜彩蛋，但是这片子一点都不恐怖，从头到尾就每一个小细节小故事都透露着对白人歧视黑人肢解黑人文化的控诉，但说句政治不正确的话如果这个国家的文化价值观是以黑人为尊的话，那离向海地靠拢也就不远了。说完题外话，这部新作相比以往几版的糖果人恐怖感真的不行，糖果人系列比较标志性的恐怖血浆跟密集恐惧表现得都不行，很明显可以看出导演为了讲故事刻意没有渲染这些镜头，血浆杀戮戏没有就算了，但是以蜜蜂群做密集恐惧是小时候看老版留下的最深刻印象，这个经典元素都没有重现，对本片非常非常失望。
被预告片吸引，在下线前终于去看了。种族题材恐怖片，恐怖的是根植于人心里的歧视。每个人看着镜子里反射的自己，看到的是内心深处最黑暗的东西和个人身份所带来的阴影。镜头运动和画面都很拿得出手，室内装潢好像翻看家居画册。剪纸的叙事手法我好喜欢，风格特别鲜明。（这边还是建议受伤后立即就医，不要拖延。）
视听设计不错，表演和节奏不够松弛，导致削弱了表达。
candyman
但本片根本没在此下功夫，而是把所有精力都投入到镜子上，像在查观众的视力。
哈哈哈，强烈支持黑人向白人进行种族复仇，糖果人糖果人糖果人糖果人糖果人~

1992版的优点没学会，缺点倒是全部继承了。
