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.
好特别的一部动画片，舒缓而又不失节奏感的整体氛围，流畅的动画情节，银幕内外的时光看似迟滞，实则已经在不经意间缓缓流淌了过去。我想这应该就是好电影的与众不同之处吧！
这几日每晚都想在梦里能和奶奶相见，回到小时候住平房的日子。
正如我身边发生的一切，一直都有一束光在带领。也只有能看见这光的人，能向着明亮那方前行。虽然经过死阴幽谷，但这束光从未消失，始终成为我们前进的方向。
4.6。不能给太满，一定是有进步空间的，但是这样形式的电影的出现，一定是中国动画另一种表达的开端。大部分故事内容都比较适合儿童看，但也有稍微深一点的意蕴，最喜欢的是小火车，还有《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，对于后者的喜爱，和对《我和吸铁石和一个死去的朋友》是一样的。有人不喜欢刘毛宁，觉得他的创意不高级，但是我依然不断地被他的艺术风格和叙事方式打动，因为看似冷静，背后却有满溢的情绪。
国内首部原创绘本电影，非常值得肯定和鼓励，是了不起的。真实的生活、散文般的语言，和自然流露的情感，让七个故事都充满温情。个人最喜欢、也是最感动的是《外婆的蓝色铁皮轮椅柜》，我很想念我一生劬劳的姥姥，时至今日她在我心里的形象也是那样单纯而美好。(眼泪在流了…)
公交车司机会梦到森林中的精灵，小火车也能驶出自己的轨迹。华北平原的村庄，充满烟火气的小巷，大闹天宫的哼哈二将……当你用心去走进孩子们的世界，你会发现那是一个充满了天马行空的奇思妙想的世界。原来我们换一个角度看世界，世界还可以有另一个样子。
最喜欢糖水铺和外婆蓝色轮椅这两个单元，好温馨。
七个不同画风的动画短片，印象最深刻的是《蒯老伯的糖水铺》，煮的不是糖水，而是人情味。《萤火虫女孩》则很像我小学去作文补习班，老师在班上朗诵的我的作文——小动物在森林里聚会。《哼将军和哈将军》是剪纸风格，前面的神话故事化特别喜欢。《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》，那个轮椅让我想到了《山海情》里面也是人手做的木板推车轮椅。故事虽都平淡，但都太可爱了。
故事很温馨，但可能是限于时长没有把故事核心讲得更透彻。最喜欢“老伯糖水铺”和“外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅”，老年人的孤独和对子孙的爱。
第六个故事——外婆铁皮柜打开，遗物慢慢铺陈开来，很浪漫。死亡、怀念竟也如此浪漫

《小火车》没什么想说的，立意蛮好的，方言配音不错。
场面调度的流畅和其中的想象力很大程度上弥补了故事的单薄。当然以儿童为主要受众的电影不一定需要严密翔实的故事线。
不论这部影片的票房如何，它始终是迈开了重要的一步，其意义可能在于，国内一场对于动画艺术认知的公开课。短片作者驾驭长片还有一段很长的路要走，作者语言进入公众领域表达还需要通过更多的实践来磨合，但愿有更多的机会给这些作者试炼，中国动画一定会向着明亮那方。
存有缺点，但更存有亮点和勇气，五星鼓励动画人，也鼓励自己。
怎么说呢，看到其中觉得别扭的部分会告诉自己这是幼儿向可以理解，可是幼儿显然也很难get到这些叙述，挺矛盾的。（ps：看完立马去附近吃面了，好诱惑）
2 11.2
而现在的我，漫步在冬日的阳光下，却那么想拥有当时的那个世界。
不同于以往的动画电影，本片是以水墨、水彩、纸雕等多种形式的表现手法创作了这些小故事。
首先对独立动画创作者表示致敬；小火车5🌟；糖水铺 4🌟；外婆4🌟；前三个迟到了没看到。
