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.
看这部电影时想起了李安的《喜宴》，都是关于同性恋结婚的故事，这种不同的处理手段也展现了两个国家对待同性恋的态度。印度18年以前同性恋是一种违法行为，18年之后，虽然不至于同性恋婚姻合法，但不再是违法行为了，这对同性恋群体来说是一大进步，至少从国家层面来说，看到了这个大群体。而对我国而言，法律并没有明文规定同性行为犯法，但也不意味着不犯法，因为法律从没涉及到同性恋的问题，就好像电影中处理的那样，没有点明就等于没有这回事。对同性恋法律上的装聋作哑也让这个群体在现实中仿佛穿上了隐身衣，很少听见他们的发声，也很少看到他们的身影。
在B站看了预告后去看了正片，某高分网站上的译名是《永结同心》，怪不得在豆瓣怎么找都没找到。谈回电影本身，电影的设定非常出彩，围绕着印度禁忌的homo话题，男女主形婚过程也充满着喜剧色彩，但是剧情的发展不如我预期的精彩，感觉到了后面就有种流水账的叙事感，结尾也不算很强。最让我遗憾的是没能看到男女主之间的情感升温（没有要掰直他俩的意思，只是觉得男女主之间的友情和亲情刻画太少了，明明是主角），然后两人各自的同性伴侣设定其实也不算好。总之看在题材和音乐的份上打个三星吧。
很难想象连我们邻国印度，都能以宝莱坞式的幽默
印度电影的先进度是远远领先于社会实际情况的。电影中关于出柜，家庭的接受度还有领养而不是代孕都是比较先进的。搞笑的地方也挺多。BTW，印度的信号确实不大稳定
唉，印度，望而却步啊让我
虽然但是，这可是印度同志电影！！游行出来的时候眼泪唰就流下来了😭
i wish it was that easy.
五星全部给此时此刻被北方同行衬托得格外耀眼的印度。7.5
印度诶，这是印度诶。。。单从剧作和拍摄上来说，真的没什么好讲的，但是这是印度电影诶。哎
还挺好笑的电影，就是稍微有点长，节奏还是挺轻松欢快的，最后当然还是happy ending了。印度电影的题材还是挺反映社会现实的。女二一副东亚人的面孔，查不到演员信息。
唉，印度，望而却步啊让我
走轻喜剧风格 剧情其实觉得拍得过于理想化……但这种题材能拍出来就比严防死守明令禁止的厉害了
沙杜这条线处理得比较好，从大男子主义、没担当，一步步勇敢地站出来，戏剧性更丰富些，也能看出这个故事骨子里还是男性主导话话权。催婚、催生，整个过程简直是亚洲国家人间真实。能得到双方家庭祝福，为这个苦涩的故事增添了些温情。
逻辑自洽，想表达的东西讲清楚了，有血有泪，也有小幽默，难得
开心时就要大声笑，吃东西的时候就要大口吃，吃的胖胖的。
ps:虽然电影里的男主还挺好，但电影是电影，现实中的某些男同是同，也会是具有男权思维的男人。希望各位女同朋友不要被电影误导去形婚，我国没有形婚说法，领证了那就是有法律保障的婚姻，受伤害了吃亏了不会管你是不是形婚是不是同性恋，法律保不了你。切记不要跳火坑，不要成为代孕工具，只有自己强大，不依靠任何人，才能有底气！
给支持同志领养点赞。结局很是暖心。被出柜真的很辛苦。阿三都直球拍这样的影片了，而我国碰都不敢碰，只能玩玩擦边卖腐，割傻逼们韭菜。。。
繁华喜宴易成，漫长岁月难度。宗教信仰悬在远方，行规法律缚住四肢，流言习俗刺在脸颊，玫瑰花蕊藏在制服内，却被眼波流转出卖，喑哑的喉咙只能在夜晚互舐低鸣。炽热的目光逐渐暗淡，灼烧的期待终将寒凉，打一场旷日持久的仗，等荆棘满途全枯死。这愿望很悠长，亦决心走到底，待沧海桑田，听涛生潮起。
看完反思：是不是自己也有曾经喊过别人阿三的时候，就像在井底去嘲笑在井边也许还没有长大的燕子的青蛙那样
印度电影虽然敢拍，但要动辄两三个小时长的电影，实在没耐心看
