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.
full of f*cking stereotypes
命题作文般的创意，看似深刻的主题表现出来过于浅显。整片给我的所有感觉都很像《魔法满屋》。
美美，很可爱。阿姨的配音，好听。
华裔小孩的家庭冲突，和朋友们的冲突，女性成长为女为母，初潮变红的设定乖乖的。
好看呀，算是皮克斯中等马里最好的了，已经够到了上等马的门槛（主要争议还是在创意部分，对于许多老外来说应该是很棒的）…另外，这片子真是太懂戳大家的福瑞癖了～
1.如同包宝宝一样的中国式家庭困境，代际矛盾
真是无法招架的妈妈的爱啊，反抗过激，麻麻变的真的是太大了，粑粑一定是对大有错误的理解。就是大人做错了一定要认错，不能道歉没诚意，认真道歉！无论如何都不能自卑，这只是一个娱乐动画电影，可能太典型矛盾突出到更自己一点都不搭嘎，但是这种有一种冷叫你妈觉得你冷，终将一直存在下去，直到世界终结。
「红熊猫」的变身象征了女孩身体的初潮变化、性认知、情绪波动等。代代惯用的压制与剥离并不一定是最完美妥善的法子，社会驯化下被束缚的女性，困囿在听话女儿的身份下，甘之如饴逆来顺受。最后我们为皆大欢喜的结局而喜悦，其实更觉悲戚。
对于文化的深刻反思，虽然熊猫那么可爱，却觉得如此沉重到要落泪的程度，我们终其一生都无法摆脱他人对自己的期待，尤其是亲人期待的目光，那用爱铸成的枷锁，片子还结合了另一个话题，如何面对我们自身的不完美，与自我和解。最近几年看皮克斯总有种命题作文的感觉，可能是想要表达的都太高大上了吧。其实结合得还蛮好的。
看上了女主角一直怀抱的那只狗狗玩偶！！！东亚家庭故事…嗯…永远带着一点渗人，一些老祖宗的负担，一些必定会辜负的期望…华裔导演拿捏得太准确了…知道大家移民北美了还要经历这些心里不禁好受了些（不是）
青春期的痛与撕扯最大的难题，是父母愿不愿意放手，孩子愿不愿意离开，通常孩子是急着离开，但也有人心怀内疚。
这选题绝对是99.9%人的遭遇，但这剧情也确实单薄到不是很有说服力……
3.5/5，靠一点可爱和毛茸茸取胜！故事很常规，内心monster的故事融在家族文化和历史里，文化性很强
好看好看好看！我就是这样长大的！不许去演唱会和犯花痴的桥段太有共鸣了！谁不能在这个妈妈身上找到一点自己妈妈的影子呢哈哈哈！仪式的疯狂走向我太喜欢了！片里各种粤语超标准发音也让人听着非常舒坦：新怡~~~
原来导演和编剧是一位加拿大华裔女性，从结尾提到「2002年演唱会大熊猫事件」推算时间线，13岁主人公李美玲应该就是1989年出生，这和导演的出生年份不谋而合。看来这不是一个充满中式印象的迪士尼动画，而是一个华裔女孩自己的青春成长故事。女孩李美玲的家族在青春期时会因为情绪波动而迎来浣熊变身，需要控制情绪并且进行仪式才能将这个大野兽封印，最后在女儿心爱的歌手演唱会上 完成了母女和解以及收怪兽仪式（道士和粤语咒语口诀真的太好笑了 哈哈哈哈哈），中式儒家思想+狼族+美少女战士变身的多重元素融合在里面。「我们的身体里都有潜在的野兽，我们都隐藏着一个邋遢、吵闹、怪异的自己，只是很多人从没让她曝露过，但我做到了，你呢？」我知道她想通过浣熊变身这件事来比喻青春期的叛逆和成长，但是这个故事显然还是太西式了，让我少了共鸣。
真的很感动，因为在这里见了太多，自我绑架的母亲，甚至还把下一代也拖入迂腐和封建，真正爱是我知道自己背负的枷锁的有多糟了，所以希望你逃开，向上变得不一样
青春会有焦虑烦恼，也会有兴奋激动，皮克斯这次抓住了这点开始做文章，可以说是稳定输出了，讲出了要做自己的道理，也讲了亲情，也是难得的没有偏见的亚裔形象。
好看呀，算是皮克斯中等马里最好的了，已经够到了上等马的门槛（主要争议还是在创意部分，对于许多老外来说应该是很棒的）…另外，这片子真是太懂戳大家的福瑞癖了～
只要咱们避而不谈的时间足够久，能等来皮克斯替咱拍出“红水”猛兽。
简直是新时代的傅满洲剧情，新时代的话语权就是这样一点点被夺走的，迪士尼这样一个动画制片厂简直是伪装成动画的最强美帝政治机器
