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.
看前半段还在关注摄影和调度，到了中段就完全沉浸在剧情的美好和痛苦之中了。为什么toxic masculinity是toxic的？就是搞不清楚爱和美是力量之所以存在的意义和守护的对象。当你师出于看似正当的理由，最后却伤害了应当保护的东西，那力量便蜕化为需要拔除的毒牙。罗朱的故事是这样简单，但却又是那么令人难过啊。
斯皮尔伯格的旧瓶装旧酒是视觉上和场面调度上的提升，有些地方是独属歌舞片，甚至是舞台剧般的乐趣，作为歌舞剧爱好者自然乐在其中。而且，虽然已经在别处看过很多次，也曾数次思考这个故事里愚蠢的地方，但我还是觉得，莎翁关于罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事，简直是包含了所有爱情里最纯真，最美好，最动人的部分。
前半段舞蹈亮眼，後半段張力十足，很多細節很戳人，結尾觀眾大呼，what a great movie!
另外，整部电影如此让人感同身受的是其中的压抑。是时时刻刻精神被推向承受力极限的压迫感，是不能向任何人表达和倾诉的痛苦，是无处不在的隐瞒，每一件事情都是秘密，每一件事情都需要撒谎——唯有这一点如此真实，能够让荧幕外的我感同身受。
篮球场斗舞，居然还是交际舞，虽然调度复杂但感受不到意义何在
标准的好莱坞工业流水线作品，来自最固守好莱坞经典制作风格的导演，故事都快被盘出包浆了，也就不奢求什么了，视听上几乎完全为叙事和类型服务，无论是导演还是观众，我们对现实与舞台的混融都已经驾轻就熟——这种成熟的工业体制反而让单薄的故事线更显孱弱，不得不依靠给女性角色加戏份（因为她们是旁观者所以加起戏来分外容易）来搪塞一下。看到片尾的For Dad，就会明白为什么斯皮尔伯格的歌舞片尝试要选择原封不动的翻拍——即便如此，你也没办法说这是部烂片，所有导演都得先成为斯皮尔伯格才行。
实话实说了吧，工人阶级的审美已经落伍了，对zjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjki 笑死正说着呢，猫过来一顿乱踩，看来她也觉得难看而很生气
Spielberg and his endless budget only make the film visually appealing, but the old chemistry is missing. One of the drawbacks is the altered storyline does not make sense; the second half entirely lacks focus. Not even mentioning the overloaded autotune. It’s good that they cast real Hispanic actors. Rita Monroe is still killing it!! (She is absolutely terrific, but her role in the remake is a stretch. )
上一次让我觉得删掉男主一切完美的作品还是小滑冰，只能说老版的精彩程度斯皮尔伯格的牛逼程度和男主的拉垮程度成正比。男主一脸青春期还没结束的表情还有大白嗓和60年代毫无关系，只能说前有埃德加赖特后有斯皮尔伯格，二代爹妈会铺路。
难看是不难看，斯皮尔伯格时隔多年BP、BD同提也证明了本片的整体水平还是在线的，视听也很考究。但是这个故事真的真的很过时陈旧啊，完全看不出翻拍的必要啊。从爱情到死亡，没有一个点落实到了深层次，没有一个点具备当代创意，只有“好莱坞黄金时代还魂法术”。但还魂一具毫无生命力的冷尸又有什么用？放眼全片，唯一的表彰点确实只能是德伯斯的女配表演。
故事本身就不太能喜欢起来，但是斯皮尔伯格打破了原作的舞台剧感，光影也有所升级，有几个镜头的调度水平依旧很好，但是就像网友说的，这个翻拍没啥必要。
what the fuck is this
Ariana DeBose的阿妮塔依然全片最耀眼，几场群舞的调度和编排也都相当漂亮。新老两版最大的变化其实就是将《Somewhere》这首重要的歌交给了老版阿妮塔，让这首歌多了一层悲剧的轮回之感。但无奈Ansel Elgort实在太过于灾难，一直到他戏份大幅减少的最后半小时才终于能够入戏，观感全都毁于他……
糟糕的故事，男主也演得好糟糕，唱歌和女主不是一个度，跳舞也和兄弟们相形见绌。希望这世上不会再有这种罗密欧朱丽叶危害人间，救命啊。所有星星都给anita了。
我宣布这是我看过最没CP感的CP。它为什么不好看，谢飞导演说到点子上了：主演明星气质不够，观众的眼睛没办法被他们吸引。除去美国移民话题，于我而言，就是看了又一版罗朱。
★★★★★十颗星送给Mike Faist绝妙的歌舞和表演！两极交战的痛苦观感，精妙绝伦的调度、摄影、服装、编舞，舞台布景彻底转为cinema的催眠，只有复杂微妙深不可测的视觉技巧才能做到，旧好莱坞的回魂仪式徐徐掀起幕布。但是魔法师执着推移造梦轨道，星尘却荡然无存，驱动咒语失声在任何精确到毫厘的浪漫方程式都无法补救的男女主角化学反应的先天厄运，消音在顶级制作亦难以遮掩的致命唱跳短板，而翻新期许被不可抗力导致的错误选角和保守的种族性别的多重隐语移植再造所扑灭。不同于音乐优先的默认语法，肢体碰撞之间汹涌的爱恨世仇和喷溅的荷尔蒙成为叙事行进的鼓点和层次，瓦砾和盐尘破败颓废却生机灼热的美学表达呼之欲出。几段载入影史级别的典范配合回想起来只是因为有Mike Faist在其中。很遗憾，这本可以是一部杰作。
除不时闯入并撕裂剧情的歌舞部分外，所剩的一切都是如此冗长无趣。没看过原版，但这极有可能是最差的一部斯皮尔伯格。
斯皮尔伯格继《大白鲨》《第三类接触》《人工智能》后第n次让我失望，老斯导演的调度能力自然不必多提，只是他的剧本每次的脑残程度都能让我汗颜不止。新版《西区故事》的选角是毁灭性的，我万万没想到我堂堂的里夫成了一个说话声像小鸡崽子尖声细语，还没手下有阳刚之气声音大，真是气死。斯皮尔伯格《西区故事》的选角可媲美张艺谋在《长城》中的选角。
两个一见钟情、至死不渝的恋人，两个血海深仇、不共戴天的种族（帮派），这种罗密欧与朱丽叶式的爱情悲剧也算是某种原型故事了吧，只是不太能看出翻拍的价值或是焕发出了多少新的神采。论调度当然是能超出这个颁奖季的《倒数时刻》一大截，夜戏的光晕炫目，情绪上的压迫也能到位，但对议题的展示怕还是太隔靴搔痒了一点。另外赞同谢飞导演说的，男女主角没有明星气质，很难经得起特写审视，于是观众不大能做到与之共情。
其实镜头拍的是真标准，无奈故事现在看各种无趣…
