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.
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
还只看过饭拍版。制作很精良，也能煽动我流泪，但其实我不能完全共情，事件离我太遥远了。
好的卡司确实能够掩盖剧本的局促，并且让影像高于平庸版本的真正舞台。2001-2011-2021，时代U字回转。
就是一个男性性工作者和一个老年丧偶好似失去了身体的钥匙的女性两个人物之间的可能关系，在几次会面中各自有了各自的升华与谅解，这便是最简单的情感关系的迭代，没有了那些狗血的冲突后，却在各自的些许尴尬中达到了统一，又在统一中达到了释怀，最后一句祝你好运，让两个相交的平行线重新走上了各自的归途，原来男人我理解你女人，哦原来女人你也理解我这个男人，在如此癫狂的社会与固执的年级里得到了对方，这就够了。
有点像话剧，固定场景，靠大段大段的对话推进故事情节，旨在讲女人不必年龄焦虑，要更好的爱自己，性并不可耻。最后的艾玛好美啊，直面镜中的自己，里奥真不错哟~
女机长好有魅力，歌没那么洗脑，很美式，get到了音乐剧的魅力
当男女主人公正准备开启「迈进」新世界大门时，我们注意到，屏幕上出现一个「你中有我我中有你」复合状态的名字。此外，还有二者相会也是在线上的「网络」空间与线下的「旅店」房间融为一体时发生。这是两个长期处在持续衰落逃避状态当中「无家可归」的互助者。问题在于，有「大国」雄起才有「小民」高潮啊。我是谁？如何通过能够弥合灵肉之间缝隙的「两性」关系回应这个现代人都会遭遇的「全球性」命题？Let‘s go to bed——我们当然可以按照字面意思「去上床吧」理解，但如果英国人为你提供的这个「躺平」方案没有启发性，不如换个「哲学」语境——依循海德格尔的路经，先行到那不可避免的死亡中去进行敞开。译成中文就是，视死如归。古人云：路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。所以「主仆」和解之后，不宜继续指教的师生只能祝这个利益共同体好运啦。
想去Newfoundland看看
太棒了，希望以后歌舞剧作都能慢慢放出官摄电影！！
此刻，enjoy the pleasure 足矣
四星给美丽童话，多一星是给共情。看到女主仿佛看到亲密关系中的自己：十分爱judge别人，一紧张反而变得更加硬邦邦，话痨又很强装理性……理性害我！这个角色还必须爱玛来演，她那种聪明劲儿加重了这种对于自己性魅力的自卑，缺一不可。最后一脱真的震撼，面对不再美丽的肉体而不judge自己，真的需要莫大勇气
Emma Thompson literally glows in the end.
温暖的故事。这部音乐剧演员好辛苦啊，全程扮演不同人物唱歌、还要搬道具、换衣服。
政治正确含量要爆表了，但就是非常打动人，尤其是「机长自述me and the sky」和「我是岛民」。
OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！

音乐这种东西真的很能够拉扯人的情绪，每次看到这样的电影版音乐剧就总想去现场看看，毕竟隔着屏幕看就已经足够震撼。911事件是沉重的悲伤的，而故事就设定在刚发生了这个事件之后的一个加拿大小镇上，但剧作没有让观众完全沉浸在悲痛中，在这之中时不时加点小幽默或人与人的情感链接，真让我体验了一次悲喜交加。整个剧作的歌曲和编排都很完美，通过灯光的颜色来切换场景，演员们也都是一人分饰n角（n≥2），以服装动作神态语气来切换角色，太强大了，我还是到差不多最后面才发现原来中东人阿里和凯文0是同一个人，水平之高毋庸置疑。剧作特别聚焦到这样一个小镇上，将恐怖事件与小镇人的热情作对比，人性的善与恶两个极端冲突，摆在观众面前，批判恶的同时不忘宣扬美。人们抱团取暖，由此促成的一世友谊，异地爱情实在令人感动。
布景简单，演员也只是这几个人变换角色，但是我爱rock town！
Oh god hope I will be rich...
层次非常丰富的百老汇舞台剧，大到人道主义，小到个人友情、爱情；从种族问题讲到女性、LGBT群体的社会接纳；有生离死别，也有相遇重逢。正如剧中所唱，一些东西失去了，另一些被建立起来了。整部剧的基调是自由主义式的，或许这才是正确对抗恐怖主义的途径。用融合代替隔离，用积极代替阴郁，用好好生活代替暴力反应。（观影时间：2021年10月6日；自评：8.3；推荐指数：★★★★★）
