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.

导演究竟是不是从Get Out剧组里逃出来的？剧作也是分裂得可以，我打球是为了让我离黑人远点，但是打完球却希望黑人能隔我近点。
这不就是《夺冠》？只是嫁接着美国虎爹的事实故事。一样的以大篇幅段落去毫无必要地表演已经历史定格的竞技体育赛事。而那场漫长的网球赛事，维纳斯的西班牙对手维卡里奥，2021年7月有可能因为欺诈、躲债和逃税而面临4年的牢狱之灾。
每年都跳过陪绑的体育电影。。。今年被片名骗了没躲过去。。。观感还不错。。。大半功劳是威尔史密斯
开始以为是一部从独特视角来讲小威的传记，没想到真的只是讲缔造成功背后的男人——他的故事当然值得书写，但还不容易有两位女性传奇仍旧还是把功劳归功于男性推手真有些生理不适，光有计划，没有传奇自己的努力和天赋以及妈妈的牺牲，那只可能是空想。对于骨子里有鸡娃基因的中国观众来说，可能难以理解种族及年代背后，主角这一举动的疯狂。剧本挺稳的，但并不出彩，反而是妈妈那为数不多的几场戏更有力量。
同样关乎“父权”，《犬之力》用父权的倒塌去表现每个人都是男性气概的牺牲品，《国王理查德》却用鸡娃成功学去为父权压迫洗地。
太不喜欢这个plan了，一直在引导为这种专制的，提前预知的“成功”人生感动，太难受了看得。
差不多一般体育传记片的精彩程度 差不多一般体育励志片的动人程度 差不多影帝先生
这种电影就是好莱坞把最擅长的东西拿出来，真人真事，体育励志，家庭温情，成长走心，你就妥妥坐在座位上，跟着哭跟着笑，舒畅痛快地看电影就得了。各方面都是高分，威尔史密斯演技巅峰，不只是个网坛虎爹，人物本身有很多维度与复杂性，之前提名过两回奥斯卡最佳男主，这次看样子不拿奖都不行了。妈妈的角色塑造得也好，分庭抗礼，有几场戏能感觉到她才是整个家的核心。两个女孩更好！（其实他们家是有五个女儿，额滴神啊）好几场戏都相当震撼人心，比如他们一家人第一次走进满是白人的青少年网球比赛场地，Venus像一头野生小兽，大tee运动棉短裤扛着球拍，沉默地穿过那些身着漂亮网球裙，金发马尾巴的少女们。一拍挥过去，从银幕深处扑面而来的力量与速度，明日女王大杀四方，但她也只是14岁小孩。颁奖季来了，看点好的。
在某种程度上呼应了《柏林苍穹下》当孩子还是孩子的引语，杰西的形象塑造实在太好了，不仅仅是儿童的纯洁，还有无理、狡黠、奇观、脆弱，是每个与孩子相处的成年人都要理解的形象。电影的黑白也许为了情绪吧，但整体其实有股乐观的力量？孩子们对于严肃话题的看法，积极又正面，好像讽刺着成年的世界，然而电影透出的成年世界的无奈与悲观却又如此深刻，确实是极其矛盾的地方。还有很多地方拍的都像影片要结束了，然而并没有，导演的节奏？
挥拍吧，爸爸！竟然都算不上是一部合格的体育传记片，人物抉择、困境都没讲明白，只是去表现一个偏执狂父亲，要靠女儿证明自己，情感转变也简单到毫无铺垫，几句话就完事了。主要还是政治诉求为大吧
中规中矩的奥斯卡传记电影。
他让我想起了几年前桑德拉·布洛克的《弱点》，当年奥斯卡女主给了她！这一次威尔·史密斯很像。 父亲多么专横，暂且不说。反正没有这父亲，不能有现在的大威、小威！政治与种族是父亲的恐惧，让姑娘们学着强大，也没毛病。 但影片160分钟真是又臭又长，少40分钟是可以的。观者不需要每一步都了解，仿佛在窥探你的生活。就这么个传记故事，仅此而已！
“LA这些阳光、沙子、晒太阳的身体，你不会感到无聊吗？”
终于在收到邮件的第一时间约上了下周的工会放映——就是又要开车开很久。Guest名字放了小宇宙，虽然也知道他去不了。———看了，起码比Belle强多了。
很工整的片子，而且给人的感觉像极了《点球成金》。
来自一切方向的恶意塑造了他，痛苦注射进身体，塑造出愤怒，永远发作，根深蒂固。幸福的白人不会理解他呵护女儿的偏执方式，更不会知道这是更深层次的一种对抗，是多么艰难的一场战争。
想吐槽的点很多，但还是不得不承认他是个很走心的父亲，他有一个plan，并且非常努力的去落实这个plan。在这个过程中，他没有为了眼前的风光冲昏头脑，他很清楚的知道，你需要学习知识、你需要成长，而不是为了名利，将一个11岁的小女孩打造成神话，这份良苦用心，曾经我也经历过。也许看着不理解、残酷甚至冷漠，也许结果并不像两姐妹那样完美，但是他用他另类的别扭，做到了那份保护。你不能说也许不这样会怎样怎样，但是过早成名的伤仲永和放弃学业，沉迷于大麻，这都是很有可能会发生的。当然，他也许不是一个那么贴心的人，显得专制武断，但你永远不能否认他的一些想法，或许在后面20年会逐渐受益，或者终生都不会察觉到这份良苦用心。
并不熟悉原型故事，也未对运动有足够的了解；所以不会有先入为主的比照，而是用看「家庭教育故事」的态度去进入。无论是找对状态的Will Smith，还是协同Aunjanue Ellis和小演员们彼此成就的自然火花，更或是以Jon Bernthal为首的几位好戏之人加入的辅助性点缀；电影受益于这些演员的发挥和对角色的洞察，完成了足够符合想象、平稳水准的冲奖传记“设定”。不计较篇幅的几个重要节点的呈现，在精良技术的打包下，呈现得到了足够的还原；但问题是近来各种越发放飞的片长让电影略显臃肿，并且情节始终只是重复的反抗与坚持。大胆点的作者与剧本，或许还能将观察延伸到运动本身，加注生态图景的勾勒；这里没有，也就只能靠Beyoncé压阵，用歌声唱出能量与致敬了。
给andy roddick的cue把我激动的差点把房顶都掀了...大小威那个年代 就是我曾经对网球疯狂热爱的时期 喜欢看力量的爆发和速度与角度的搏击 迷恋andy和他的翘屁屁发球... 从昨晚到现在如饥似渴的看了好多compilation...被问到最喜欢的运动时其实一直都会毫不犹豫的说网球 只不过似乎再也没有过那种热血蹦腾的能贴在电视屏幕上的着迷坚持 不过 似乎现在这种感觉又回来了
影院上映中，感兴趣的小伙伴抓紧哦。
