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.
我是土狗，我就是爱看，虽然类似的励志故事我已经看过N多次，但是依旧会热泪盈眶
2015年看完《贝利叶一家》时，我感慨：这真的不是翻拍1996年德国那部《走出寂静》吗，区别是女主一个是拉小提琴，一个是唱歌。其他设置都差不多，剧情走向也差不多。//这回又回到了唱歌。不管怎样，对这种套路影片，我已经毫无感觉了。
6.5/10。重拍了一版《贝利叶一家》，质量比那版好很多但没有了当初看时的惊喜感。大量“听不见”带来的黄色笑话让我梦回青春派的性喜剧年代，发现这个本子很适合中国翻拍啊～哥哥和男友都比原版帅很多。（得了奥斯卡最佳影片后补一条：bye）
隔离中，越发体会到亲情的羁绊、力量。当 Ruby 歌唱时，忽然声音消失，我又听到了窗外的鸟鸣声，在现实世界里，在这个千疮百孔的闹市里。
这是那种，你知道它有哪些地方做得不错，也会有不少人深受感动，但你仍然觉得平庸，并且很快就把它遗忘的电影。唯一触动到的一场戏是父亲摸着女儿的脖子“听”她唱歌。
主旋律，没有觉得差，有些影评人在高贵什么？
旦除非你做好本分 否则我什么也做：
呀，感觉捕捉到了这个聋哑家庭生活的不易和不同，点缀许多令人同情的细节与令人心知是善良的东西。不过电影本身还是偏向于电视电影，有些青春成长的味道。
（仅针对电影本身）俗套的励志片，就一点：在学校合唱表演那段，我第一遍是真的主动开静音看的，事后倒回去想听一下音乐的时候，发现自己想法竟然。。。不能说和导演想法不谋而合，只能说这样的手段真是被用烂了，以至于普通影迷都能想得到，手段太廉价。
怎么说呢，片子太普通了，但是我哭了次。一次是爸爸用手抚摸嗓音感受唱歌的声音，一次是手语翻译，一次是聋哑父亲说出“go”。拍的流畅，因此多给一星
（仅针对电影本身）俗套的励志片，就一点：在学校合唱表演那段，我第一遍是真的主动开静音看的，事后倒回去想听一下音乐的时候，发现自己想法竟然。。。不能说和导演想法不谋而合，只能说这样的手段真是被用烂了，以至于普通影迷都能想得到，手段太廉价。
唯一的惊喜可能是看贝利叶一家的时候觉得这个故事只能发生在法国。改编的还行，比原版更激进的用“听障”高概念提取“家庭伦理与社会规则的冲突”，但是只要先入为主还是觉得太美式了，没有原版那么简单可爱
居然超越原版了，那段伯克利面试真得太太太催泪了，奥斯卡最佳影片实至名归，看完太正能量满满了，最后那个车窗回眸手势简直太爱了！
消音的段落真是神来之笔，不单单是一个电影技法，而是让普通人也能体会到一丁点听障人群感受的电影魔力。
很欣喜再次看到如此真实克制又令人感动的美国文艺片了。在好莱坞疯狂拿着“同性”“族裔”“移民”这些可争奖的政治正确标签而设计电影的当下，本片完全抛开这些金砖，选择在“少数群体”中深耕，找到了我们平时最容易见到又最容易忽视的群体——聋哑人，认真还原了聋哑家庭的真实生活状态，主线是女主要追求自己的梦想考伯克利，副线是女孩和男生的爱情线。主线在“个人和家庭选哪个”中进退两难，副线在“取笑我家庭的男孩到底该不该爱”中纠结。虽然猜到最终女主肯定会考上伯克利，也料到会用手语来演唱，可真当看到女主用手语演唱时，眼泪还是控制不住的流下来。也许正是这种真实和真诚，才让任何修饰和技巧显得多余。这才是我们平凡人的生活和情感啊，世界都大同，人间同艰难。只有一家人团结一心，乐观迎难，这世上还有什么困难？
还有，女儿用手语为他们一家翻译歌词的场景…
3、故事虽然是励志的套路，细节却是满满，而且绝不鸡汤。无论是青春的躁动，成长的烦恼，梦想的追逐，亲情的羁绊，爱情的试探，还是聋哑人家庭不为人知的痛苦与欢乐，都被影片细腻而鲜活地展示出来。
想想也是，本来有很现实的渔民劳工题材可大展拳脚，却执拗于亲情家庭音乐小圈子里陈腔烂调。比来比去这部BP的格局确实很小。
还有，女儿用手语为他们一家翻译歌词的场景…
2021.06.23刚看完贝利叶一家，这个未免也太相似了?
