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.
2.5 这算不算华人的刻板印象？
喜欢（大家都夸完了把我想说的都说了我就闭麦吧
《怪物公司》《玩具总动员》，它们从不是一开始就想教会我点什么。
哪个furry控看了不想原地打滚尖叫呢？但受制于串流定位和“萌即正义”视角下的野心滑坡，仍遍布预期中套路和1.0的地方（缺少“魔力”的东方景片陈列，公式化命题写作，闹腾的叙事节奏），以至于最后把少女自我成长和跨代际沟通衔合起来，是有些顺拐也说服力欠佳的。从《包宝宝》到这部的母女冲突矛盾，能看出石之予在真诚自白跟迎合好莱坞工业标尺间的试探，还是希望她下次放手做些更有挑战性的项目，毕竟作为皮克斯首位华裔女导演，值得带来更多低回流连的表达。
可能是因为我的原生家庭太不中国式了，所以我对这类题材都只能表示理解但是无法共情。
小熊猫真是太可爱了，胖胖的小女孩也是怎么看怎么令人怜爱。不同年龄段的人看这片估计感受差别很大，我这快三十岁的老阿姨只觉得生了个逆子，妈妈与其说是接纳的女儿的叛逆和自我，不如说是在和自己和解，劳心劳力为了女儿(除了wsj那段太刻意)，还要尊重孩子个人的愿望，奉献自己，成全儿女。
full of f*cking stereotypes
别人都把我们的文化看透彻了，一些老古董还在装糊涂。
东亚家庭文化对一个孩子的影响，真的是好大好大………
「虎妈猫爸」式的育儿经变奏曲，内核就挺东亚的——极强超我约束下，如何释放本我，发展自我，这种经验还挺具有普遍性的。
有点幼儿版喜福会的感觉…小熊猫真的太太太萌了
3.5星。谁能不爱男团啊（重点误。同事聊起这部电影，吐槽美美像极了职场上的某种奋斗批，从违抗母亲立定的优秀标准开始，她就远离这种塑形道路了吧。那种没有审美没有个性，只知道一味的迎合领导标准，在各项指标中力求第一的应试教育式奋斗批。
单独看Asian American的故事还是可以的，但是故事本身还是个皮克斯经典故事内核套了个异域文化壳子的电影……没啥新意也没有很感人。。
第三幕极大缓解了“形态”过度复古的第一幕带来的cringe
本来以为是个可爱精巧的romcom，结果是探索人性的剧情片。我一开始是比较同感南希，到后来会比较同感里奥。我觉得如果我是里奥，第三次会面之后我绝不会再见南希了。她越界了，但是剧情表现的好像是她推到里奥的成长。爱玛汤普森的表演绝对是影后级别的，但是我觉得编剧对南希太宽容了。
关于自我和解与不接受原生家庭的荼毒的部分还可以 但是所有关于中式家庭中的教育理念意识形态都让人不爽 约等于黑人笑话一般吧 女性定位到作为代代相传的加害人的身份也让人非常不爽 男性在家庭教育中的缺位与莫名变为慈善的代表是怎么回事？仪式封印魔神的部分也非常中式恐怖片 试问哪个少女看到大红灯笼满屏红光、堪比驱鬼的咒语、画阵封印这些还能觉得青春期的懵懂、情感身体不适会勇敢迎接成长？？？
原来大招都在最后啊，汤普森老师真的太太太敬业了。预设边界的性是最清洁的，因为永远不用善后处理。里奥·格兰德，我要点你~~~~~~~~~~
从头到尾疯狂输出价值观哪，满满当当，看的好累。这才是个小学生哎。猫熊的形象设计很可爱，但自始至终被强大的说教掩盖，完全无法拿出精力去好好体会这个萌萌的大东西。
情节有点刻奇了, 各种元素的古怪杂糅——唐人街的亚裔群像、宗祠观念、女性自我、追星、欧美中学，以及一丝莫名其妙的家族传说式的玄幻叙事,想要形成创意上的对撞却没有融合成流畅的整体，就显得整部片子很散很糙很迷。
有朋友真好。学生时代真好。MeiMei生在欧美真好，这样的结局certainly won‘t happen here。
