Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
普普通通。La La land的特点从来都不是故事。

所以为什么这个也能单独拎出来整一个词条啊。。。
被Come to your senses洗脑了
补签，打死我也想不到蝴蝶忍和地狱吹雪是同一个人配的。
TTB明显是为奥斯卡设计的，剧中剧、音乐剧和传记片放在一起，又有同性恋、毒品这些议题穿插打底，剧作的设计感太足，得奖的使命感也过于直白。对于一个没看过百老汇《RENT》的普通观众而言，很难共情，即便是本该成为亮点的音乐，也被剧情拆解地支离破碎，有佳句无佳章，况且编剧对于Jon的生活境遇处理地过于敷衍潦草，艺术之于生活的纠结也是浮于表面。剧作扎实的音乐剧还是Walk the Line，有神鬼演出的Joaquin Phoenix都没能拿奖，加菲猫明显这次更不够格了。
错过，放弃，丢失，他像是Rent里所有角色的和，一无所获却也应有尽有。
我有多喜欢rent和Hamilton，就有多不喜欢这个，前半段，前一大半，人物塑造看得我直皱眉头。最重要的是，作为讲音乐剧的音乐电影，它不好听啊！很不好听啊！！
“牢笼还是翅膀，去问鸟吧；恐惧还是爱，别回答，行动比语言更响……”
life is too short to idle around. 30岁了，还是没有过多的成绩，tick, tick, let's not let the boom happen
撑过前半小时，后面就很容易看进去了。第一眼看过去就很喜欢主唱小姐姐，觉得眼熟，没想到居然真的是当年歌舞青春的女主，很喜欢她唱歌的样子呢
这电影看的我几度哽咽，我可能是有问题了，希望是更年期，希望早点好起来。

优点都是在有效拓展电影边界的部分：这不是一部音乐剧官摄，也不是一部真正意义上的歌舞片，而是一部元-音乐剧-电影，将唱段视觉化就是一个很好地体现电影尤其是歌舞片作为造梦机器的例子，并且“造梦机器”也能很好地与主题结合。但在电影层面是失败的，本片在今天对HIV、LGBT群体话题的讨论…Larson在25年前自己就写出来了《吉屋出租》。最后，既然是改编，如果改成加菲像《阮玲玉》里的张曼玉那样演Larson，那就是真牛逼。
百老汇音乐剧这玩意应该是西方戏剧文化的衍变产物，看不懂，不过豆瓣分数一直都超高，大概有一些流行的附魅因素。
3.5。後半段真正意義上擺脫了音樂劇形式的束縛，開始了真正的影視化改編。但此處的「真正」也僅指分鏡層面，畢竟對彼時政治氛圍和社會環境的描摹極為不足，導致本就不多的現實感「折上加折」。雖然以創作者個體視角切入本身並無問題，只是在現在這個年代用小切口談《吉屋出租》，多少有些浪費題材了。
大emo 戏里戏外都太感人好哭了，天妒英才，薪火相传，厚积薄发，时时刻刻。
2.5。还是All that jazz好看
脆弱、神经质都有了。秒针走动的声音也贯穿全剧。但是剧情太跳跃了，经常进不去。
