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.
母女三代之间的和解，以红熊猫做隐喻，不得不说导演把海外华人的亲子关系和文化演绎得相当细腻，尤其结尾部分很感人，要说它的不足之处，可能就是整部影片的情节戏剧冲突较少，节奏过于快速，节奏点踩得过于明显了，但作为一位三十出头的年轻华裔导演，能做到这样已经相当不错，希望未来能看到更优秀的作品。三颗星给导演，一颗星给导演与母亲之间的亲情。希望每个孩子的13岁都能获得属于自己的成长选择。吴珊卓的妈妈这个角色很出色，吴珊卓亲自演都应该能演出这种喜剧效果。（BTW难道只有我觉得这个红熊猫一点也不可爱吗？哈哈哈）
小熊猫还是很萌的，故事依然很俗套，刻板印象不少。
福瑞控+ Growing pains
首映完导演 编剧 和emma对大家说 今晚看完电影后的每个人都有一个回家作业 就是find your pleasure, and honor it. yeah 我照做了。
所以这是个给家长看的教育片吧？希望每个女孩都和自己的小熊猫以及自己的妈妈和解，Peace&Love！
三星半。题材和结构很有趣，但台词不够精彩，功利的“踩点”感太强，且过分正确而折损了趣味。还有，只有我觉得这个男妓毫无吸引力吗？他讲话好像在竞选社区领导啊，真是倒找钱都不想跟他做。
〈四星半〉母女和中西方其实都是老生常谈，但红熊猫和追星就很可爱，很好笑。
巩俐演出《夺冠》有什么值得吹的呢，技术而已。俺妈汤普森大姐惊天一脱，表率了女演员在性别与性议题上的探索与表达可以走得多么深远广阔。
用红色小熊猫指代性格中离经叛道的一面，这一点不算多稀奇，但有同感的是每个女孩的成长之路上都会有被规训的过程，她们将小熊猫封印成为大人希望的样子，整个电影要表达的主题是没有问题的，就是对华裔还停留在祠堂这样的刻板印象里，细节的想象力上也比较平庸。
有够闹hhh 问题有这么好解决就好了and that obsessed with mom’s approval part?
导演前作的母题扩充，第三幕以母亲膨胀的控制欲作为大boss，再混搭青春期女孩熟悉的Y2K追星元素，饶有趣味，体现了百分百的作者性。然而整体太直白太想当然了，好像在对目标受众的小朋友群体用力喊话，不够张弛有度。推荐都看看幕后纪录片，全女性主创团队氛围相当快乐，很加分。（Disney+订阅真香）
用一个可爱的巨型小熊猫来指代华裔小姑娘的青春期烦恼，皮克斯在讲述不同族裔多元化故事的道路上是越走越宽了。
家庭元素满满
在“蜘蛛侠”之后看这个，有一种神奇的感觉
用变身成红色毛茸茸怪物这个意象暗示少女初潮，这个想法非常巧妙。整个故事最大的进步是，终于让人觉得作为主角的华裔不是那么刻板印象了。不过，有个人设上的微妙矛盾是，长辈（父母）的特点像出自1985-1995年代，而孩子（女主）的个性则像是2010-2020世代的，推测是编剧写到爸妈就代入了自己的回忆，同时想贴近当代年轻人，所以刻画主角用了更与时俱进的设定。另一个违和感是，迪士尼老爱用一个适合A矛盾（自我-独特-反同化）的魔幻设定去表达B矛盾（自我-成长-反权威），因而不如亚当斯一家那种一路黑到底来得有趣。最后，无论如何也无法接受小熊猫是这个样子，脸上标志性的深棕色泪痕没有，耳朵也不太对劲，而且非得那么胖……就好像阿宝的尾巴是黑色。话说，当代家长发现女儿有这能力，早就抖音直播准备参加偶像活动了吧？
对这份工作太理想化了。不过我也相信，高端的鸭，应该是半个心理咨询师。
属于皮克斯的第二梯队，这次是东方人会共情西方人会猎奇，都会喜欢何乐不为呢，很接地气，也是这些年东方元素动画里最能够感同身受的一部，另外这个毛茸茸的真的萌，还有男团大场面真的很搞很到位，电子宠物很怀旧
轻松欢快的片子，华裔导演贴合中华文化做出的构思也很有意思，虽然底色还是美国自我救赎那一套，但是加上typical的中国家长，讲广东话的三姑六婆，中国神仙，用turning red隐喻初潮，释放自己被捆绑和挟持的欲望，和好朋友一起看一场偶像的演唱会，为自己是女性而举杯，竹林的戏份视觉效果特别好看，可惜没有在影院观影。情节推进上欠缺惊喜吧，但是还是很可爱的，看完很开心。评分:7.5/10。
套路的母女矛盾，对亚裔家庭的欧美式刻板想象，多伦多符号输出，看完这个再回想瞬息全宇宙，至少人家的设定够牛
从追求母亲的认同到自我个性的觉醒，这就是青春~
