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.
故事一般，但中国人的亲情点抓得很准，数次被逗乐！
挺写实的，家庭里男的要不不吭声要不就不出现，结果孩子出现了心理问题还要怪是妈妈的错。留着熊猫吧，东亚女孩应当要学会愤怒
红熊猫就是初潮，意味着每个女孩到女性的脱变，其中有焦虑，迷茫，叛逆。非常能共情。ps：讨厌评论某些看个电影都要夹带zz色彩的人。
一开始心想又是什么左宗棠鸡电影。看到最后却看哭了，一代又一代母女之间的控制和失望。尤其是美美牵着哭泣的妈妈走过竹林的时候。我们这一代人有几个好好地度过了青春，即使活到中年，内心也还是一个哭泣的小孩子。
关于青春期，过于共鸣了。拿着两把梳子给自己梳毛让自己冷静下来真是太可爱了。
说你不贴近生活吧，把字打出来又删掉，看到别人给点的赞立刻心花怒放，这事我都干过。说你贴近生活吧，一个大老头子，天天去喝奶茶，就算是上海老头子也跟开玩笑似的。

亚洲女性专供，只有亚洲女性会把自己 powerful 的一面在青春期由全家人做法给封印起来。这动画片，亚洲女人自由行第一课。
这是一个妈妈不让我去BigBang演唱会的故事。
一只「赤化」的熊猫。母辈们被压制的东西可以有很多种解释：从生理到精神的女性欲望、华裔身份，甚至可以共产主义后遗症。红色是经血、是怒火，也未必不会是「红色中国」——强调朱明也是意味深长。第二代移民还是典型的东亚式精英，第三代在多元的氛围里完全没有隔阂。由此我感兴趣的是，身份认同是否在流行文化的渲染下，以模糊、笼统、大而化之的姿态进入新一代的表述。
作为一名中国观众很有代入感，也很羡慕小美的“变形”。大多母亲的控制欲都很强，偷看日记、到学校送午饭、去同学家抓孩子回来，而大多父亲忙于工作，基本不见人影，所以现实生活中的小美不会如此幸运。她们就像《狗十三》中的李玩，没有朋友，没有爱情，为了让家人满意，不惜撕碎自己，躲在无人角落独自哭泣。
小熊猫很可爱，外国人拍的中国风，学到一点点，但总是差点意思，无奈剧情实在是一般。
太可爱了太可爱了太可爱了太可爱了！！！！！！！！
我出离愤怒了，不仅因为本东亚女受的罪成了一个垮塌的符号，更因为我得到的爱也成了卡通家家酒——我哭到近乎断气是因为母亲眼角下那一叠细纹，是因为即使母亲变成了一脚踏平演唱会的怪兽，也得不到自由。而看着那个总是能赶上的大团圆我只有冷笑——我祝这敷衍而不负责的奇迹早点完蛋。
花絮比正片好看，皮克斯真是好公司/from花絮，关于为什么是小熊猫：导演说小熊猫的性格就像十几岁的小孩子，互相保持距离，吃没营养的东西……而且颜色是红白的，既有中国的感觉，也像加拿大国旗的配色（ps：参考第一次变身的时候小美穿的加拿大国旗T恤
不负期待，满意收获！皮克斯的三维动画技术真是太出色了，毛绒绒的巨型红色小熊猫实在是太可爱了，萌到爆炸！作为有电影院情怀的影迷，从2012年《勇敢传说》至2021年《夏日友晴天》，除了国内没引进的2015年《恐龙当家》外，每部皮克斯动画电影长片都有去影院观影（或初看或重温或多刷），可惜如今又要多一部2022年《青春变形记》了。P.S.：英语原声版观看完毕，准备和小朋友们再看一遍台配国语版。
把“对华裔的偏见+刻板印象”神不知鬼不觉置换成“青春期的成长烦恼+母女冲突”并使之正当化。全片构建了一个略显阴森、压抑、失常的华裔母系社会：女儿是社交网络里的脑残粉+literal freak，母亲是电视新闻里的虎妈，家族长辈女性是旧社会题材小说里的七大姑八大姨。她们每个人都在drama地扮演着自己的群体，一脉相承的是有毒的母性，本质是失格的演出。仔细想了想，《魔法满屋》也是这个套路。怎么，一旦涉及到minority女性主角，如今的迪士尼皮克斯不刻意拉踩不捏造矛盾就不会讲故事了？以及，在这部片里别的ethnic group往往以被华裔迫害者or无私爱心人士的设定出现，即使是主角的神仙闺蜜们也不免曾被她的“自私和无理”所伤害。一路看下来非常不舒服。两星全给技术。
世间一切都不应被贴上标签。
我们终其一生都是要摆脱他人的期待 找到真正的自己
彼此和解，
