Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

这么好的华语电影，却无法在最大华语人口集中地上映。
这些个骑士老爷真够好笑的，在他们决斗结束后不到半个世纪，最著名的法国农妇圣女贞德带领法国人击败了英格兰。雷爷还是太英国了，女性主义议题的表达在形式和内容上都有些保守。《罗生门》式多视角叙事形式固然颇有讽刺效果，但过于工整，看第一个视角我就预料到编剧会在哪些地方呈现不同的叙事细节。内容上非常正确，主题表达也非常直白，只能说无功无过，和欧陆导演范霍文的《圣母》相比，缺乏更丰富的阐释和理解维度，思辨深度也远远不及后者。文本层面整体表现放在雷爷强大的电影作品序列里不算突出。但雷爷的影像品质依然顶级，吊打现在绝大多数好莱坞电影。真的太爱看雷爷拍古装片了，视听层面每一帧都是享受，期待老头子拍的拿破仑电影。
《鬼灭之刃 灶门炭治郎 立志篇》Ep06-10，不知何故半年前还不让我添加条目，现在刷着豆瓣就出现了
四星半。主线剧情类似于活着和霸王别姬，但是中间穿插的丰都冥界耳目一新。感受到导演强大的美术功底。全片以舞台为核心的布景更好地表现了 人生如戏，戏如人生 的概念，令人想起了 狗镇，但又极其中式意境美学特色。独成一派。唯一美中不足感觉主线的结尾略为意料之中。
精致的手工布景多了几分间离感。魔幻现实主义的《活着》或者黑色幽默的《霸王别姬》。与众不同的体验，华语电影的又一突破与创新之作。#Anthology Film Archive#
TV版6-10集。boss无惨现身，简单介绍了其势力组成，主角进一步修炼。标准展开，标准的分数。
#SGIFF2021# 真的是很妙，用舞台的形式却能表现这么丰富的故事，还以牛头马面带着走黄泉路来展开，导演还是很有想法的。确实从故事脉络上跟《霸王别姬》有些神似。小小缺点是还是太长了，而且前后半部分风格其实稍微有些割裂。
大自然中一切讲究生物的平衡，而《鬼灭之刃》正是采用了这一法则。在剧情中除了九柱逐个阵亡之外，作者还将画笔转向了主角炭治郎，使其变为了即鬼舞辻无惨之后新任的鬼王，在人类牺牲巨大代价之后将大家心心向往的主角进行转变，正是一个平衡的创作，很多粉丝都觉得，即使作为主角的炭治郎在最终一战中阵亡，换取鬼王的消灭，则更是将这部作品进行一个升华成为佳作，但反转的突如其来也是让人们意想不到的事情。除此之外，在鬼舞辻无惨成为世间第一鬼之后，已经处于无人能与匹敌的状态，打破了这个平衡的天秤，所以才会有着战国时期的天之骄子继国缘一的出现。
TV版动画6-10集的合辑篇，主要是讲炭治郎偶遇终极大反派，而后遇到鬼医生和她的迷弟，被请回家，双方针对如何变回人进行了探讨，并达成合作，再遇到两个被大反派安排来的鬼袭击，最后在几人通力合作下，解决了两个鬼，基本上没有在TV版上加什么内容，看过原本的话，可以不再看这个特别版。
整部片子的亮点就是这次打斗从各个角度展示了一下水之呼吸基本都有什么招数
旧时代也就过去了；
成都人，四川人，嘿地道，嘿有文化，嘿美丽，嘿醇厚，就像喝白酒，呛的你眼泪流下来，脑袋爆炸出高兴来，兴奋的二麻二麻的
将第三章直接打上真相是偷懒讨巧的做法，
前半段旧时代，舞台风格极强，妙笔频出，用模型做小镇空拍，并以刀划破天空作为抗战到来的预警；用真人来扮演被供着的佛像，还在逃跑时候卷起来扛着到处走。 后半段新时代，犹如《霸王别姬》《无悔追踪》的串场，也有自然灾害时期，大粪里找蛆烤着吃补充蛋白这种具体情节。叙事结构上阴阳交叠，牛头马面来捉人上路，不过黄泉路上的拍法未免单调。
emmm这是字母站没有的那段吗？还是包括在总集篇1里？
女权饮下了这碗春药，男人收获了嘲讽。
2022/5/22于Anthology Film Archives. 三星半。不必慢，戏台上唱念做打嬉笑怒骂，戏台下与时浮沉人间炼狱。
精致的手工布景多了几分间离感。魔幻现实主义的《活着》或者黑色幽默的《霸王别姬》。与众不同的体验，华语电影的又一突破与创新之作。#Anthology Film Archive#
看完就很想找個四川人說說話，把剷鏟板板錘子格老子的都講個邊
