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.
是一部看完后会鼻子很难受的电影，上一部是波西米亚狂想曲。
角度选得好，群像塑造得好，落点也落得好。当然，故事的参考价值是相当有限的。稍微了解竞技体育的人都知道，在什么计划面前，最终比拼的都是运动员自身的天赋。史皇终于放下了自己精英的样子，也贡献了堪称自己生涯最佳的表演。
看到末尾，感觉有点乏力。这个国王从结果看是成功的，从过程看是偏执的。教育中缺少的儿童视角，是偏颇的。打网球真的很帅。

# 72 Berlinale 主竞赛# 这是婚礼前的筹备吗
敏喜和导演互道i love you 的时候我要甜晕了，我不管就是十级主观的给打满星
It’s all about representation, which I don’t care at all.
近三年的洪常秀确实拐到另一个层次上去了：一人身兼多职（音乐、摄影、剪辑），极小的摄制团队，乃至让金敏喜也参与幕后工作。不知道是不是这种更加个人化的作者印记，才让柏林连续三年对他予以褒奖，但是这样的方向多少让我有些无所适从，尤其在这部片子失去结构的加持以后——动辄十几分钟不动的长镜头，窗外的过曝显出摄影的廉价，演员在景框里进行着某种不尴不尬的对话——片刻的微妙已不足以抵消全片的潦草。在这部冠以电影之名的电影中，更多充斥着导演借角色之口义正严辞的申辩：敏喜有权利选择自己的人生，不参演商业大制作不意味着“浪费”；一个故事并不一定需要情节，与真实生活的互文亦可使之焕发光彩。当电影开始放映，色彩显现，女演员却不再表演，想起《出租车》里的一句台词，“这朵花送给热爱电影的人们”。衷心祝福你们。
虽然老洪的电影传统就是说金敏喜好漂亮，看多少次还觉得，啊她好美。
某个角度上说，大小威和她们的父亲，就像是电影一样不真实。如此极致的教育和机遇的把握，真是让人叹为观止。说回影片，其实几乎是威尔史密斯的独角戏。虽然角色众多，但所有人都是陪衬，跟理查德的形象也如出一辙。Will的表演非常稳，心里藏着很多事，但都是自己独自承受。少一星是因为其他角色太浅了，一些好的体育类作品都会讲述运动员本身的心理波动，这是这部电影缺失的。把孩子的性格立起来，这种纽带才会更强。最后，政治正确简直渗透进这部电影了，他有励志的成分，但是网球并未真的就此让更多孩子觉醒。它依然太贵了，而不公也依然在发生着，什么时候美国可以甩掉这些沉重的包袱。
非常工整的一部传记片，故事节奏人物都工整到没话讲，will的演绎更是满分！（奥斯卡你发发善心。最后影片落脚到了种族和女性鼓励的点上是非常取巧的行为，毕竟把king已经大剌剌写在了标题。父权的压迫，偏执，却让两姐妹走向了成功，不得不说，是这个世界太荒谬，而女孩成长的弑父总是表现得温情。她们还是成功了不是吗！妈妈的角色其实才是真的心灵的后盾。最后，还是祝福will一举夺魁！也希望所有的族裔的女孩也可以受到鼓舞，但也可以自由成长。
在成功励志与成长温情的主线下，还夹带了种族议题与阶层关切，《国王理查德》虽然没有突破传记片的常规模式，仍不失为一部精彩好看的电影。
或许这就是一个深爱五个女儿的父亲，被生活所迫，生活在贫民窟中，需要拥有的样子吧。他值得多一些体谅。
史皇的演技Ok，可惜导演没能力深入这个角色。
也很喜欢Serena和父亲Richard赛场后的那场戏，着墨不多，但是非常非常有必要
2小时10分的内容没有最后几分钟真实录像力量大，不太行。
理查德除了保护女儿之外，他的性格复杂又矛盾，固执、冲动、聪明、隐忍、坚强、自信、自负、温柔、周密、独断。
入坑网球后还是挺有感触的，没有描述后来如何成功反而聚焦成功前的故事也算比较新颖了，虽然感觉出来导演想要升华主题到种族问题上但是表达得磕磕巴巴，以及妈妈也很伟大呀😙
有点太梦幻了
「有一个美丽的小女孩，她的名字叫做小威。她有双温柔的眼睛，她悄悄偷走我的心。小威呀，有个姐姐叫大威。你们姐妹代表美国网球队。小威呀你到底随谁？你们姐妹都是一样黑。」
