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.

虽然不完美，但是浪客剑心至今是我心里漫改真人版中的最佳！
开头以为是军事史诗片，看到后来像是悬疑片，最后原来是一部女权片。
1、借古讽今，男性凝视下的中世纪强奸案，三重视角三方心理解剖得明明白白；2、太阳底下无新事，自古皆有之，最后的决斗充满讽刺意味。
感谢那位极力推荐观众把回忆篇放到人诛篇前看的友邻。乡下部分食之无味，无论是田园生活还是雪地座头市式决战让人看得疲惫不堪。动作戏长度缩水明显，观感最好的部分反而是开头。不过这里血浆四溅的风格倒是能带来前几集中未曾体验过的快感。最后吐槽一点，电影上映半年有余，作为幕后存在感最强的主创，豆瓣资料中始终不见谷垣健治的影子。今年也是谷垣作品井喷年，一次性贡献了《怒火》《蛇眼》和两部《浪客剑心》。
武侠小说里也常常既决胜负，也决生死。但现实里好像没什么名人决斗而死，嘴炮居多。
对女权和MeToo的映射简直呼之欲出，除了有点过于工整以外别的都挺好。此外服化道及美术都是老雷一贯的高水平。
没想到现在还有大投资做这样的中世纪故事，好久没有看到这样的题材了，很喜欢。第一个故事讲到一半才想到，应该还有另一个男主的故事，第二个故事看到一大半，突然觉得女主的视角还会有，很喜欢这样捉迷藏的感觉。其实前两个故事下来，虽然不错，但总感觉和几十年前的叙事没什么区别，有点缺乏新意。最后一个故事才是让整个剧亮起来的原因。我们习以为常的英雄视角故事，在女性的角度来看竟是如此的反常。以至于最后竟然会觉得不过是两个半斤八两的货色在较量，还以为自己多么英雄豪气。而为此冒着名誉和生命的代价的女主没人关心她。不过女主在片尾好歹看到了一切，字幕顺利的送给了她荣华富贵，子孙满堂，再不用伺候男人的幸福下半生。虽然本片的格斗场面，并不是大头，但是场场让人热血沸汤，导演实力还在啊。
两个男人视角有多无趣多少算计，玛格丽特视角就有多鲜活多痛苦。几百年过去了，被强奸的女人顶多只是不会被处死，舆论境遇并没有改善太多。但庆幸现活在现下，玛格丽特至少可以选择不结婚。镜头确实有点偷懒的感觉。
小变态太美了，马达扮相好凶好丑，司机很欲，大本一头黄发吊儿郎当满嘴fuck笑的牙龈都看到了是怎么回事阿
故事其实非常好，罗生门的角度改编了一个历史真实事件，但是节奏真的慢
剧情可以概括为：兄弟睡了老婆而引发决斗。从丈夫、强奸者、妻子三个视角切入重新打捞起故事真相。每个视角带着自身利益陈述同一个故事，又因角度不同与微妙细节偏差产生截然不同的导向。犹如海报里夹杂在刀剑相向的女性身影，从男性视角回归到女性视角，古装史诗的包装下发掘的却是女性在旧时代家庭社会中的卑微地位。在父亲眼里，她是嫁妆，是筹码，在丈夫眼里，她是财产，是生育的工具，在强奸者的眼里，她是发泄欲望的好看女人。她的命运仿佛穿越历史映照当今女性困境，借古讽今的窒息感扑面而来。
服化道截止目前看过的应该是年度最佳了
这竟然是部女权电影！这当然是部女权电影！缺位也是一种表达，忽视也是一种控诉。
中世纪性侵案，女主做了自己在当下可以做出的最勇敢决定，却最终还是要以两个男人决斗的方式来判定真相。受害者无法伸张正义，甚至主动权掌握在施害者的手上，这样的哀歌，时至今日也没有停下过。电影分别以三个人的视角把同一件事讲述了一遍，这样罗生门式的展开，让真相更加立体，也将“理智”尽可能的推到观众面前，当我们能更加理性客观的审视，相应的问题也就越发明显。不得不说雷德利老爷子的电影总能提供一种发人深省的视角。而朱迪科默完成度很高的诠释了这个角色，就她目前的势头，不能说是未来可期，她已经在那个未来了。
一起发生在欧洲中世纪因强奸而起的决斗，三段章节三个不同的人物视角，《最后的决斗》最为巧妙的是电影中的三个当事人都没有撒谎诉说着自己眼中的真相，但无一不再揭示着着骑士精神背后虚伪自私的男权，展现着女性的困境与抗争。雷德利·斯科特借古喻今的讽刺，拍案叫绝。
自私傲慢虚伪的男人们啊。在女性被强暴只能作为男性财产被侵害为理由进行诉讼的时代，审判过程简直荒谬，看客们为械斗而沸腾，受害者要经受滚钉板的煎熬。而现代女性类似的困境虽有缓解依然存在。三段视角看到最后，内心只希望这俩男的都能快点儿死掉。Jodie诠释的坚毅与脆弱更加深观感。雷导真的是什么题材类型都能拍且拍得好，一定要身体健康接着拍电影呀！
2021/06/04@あべのアポロシネマ。浪客剑心系列最大的魅力之一就是写出了新旧交替的时代背景下，不同的人对新时代的不同解读和反应。有人执念于过去而对新国家产生了应激，有人因为始终怀有不依存于环境与他人的信念和希望，当新的时代来临时，可以靠信念生活下去。这个系列的眼光永远都放在新未来、新国家，是一个讲述有着信念的人在救赎那些被时代抛弃而痛苦挣扎灵魂的故事。虽然未来不代表都是光明，可是能够向未来而生的人是永恒的。剑心就是这样，在幽暗中看见微光，在旧时代实现自我认同，在新时代完成了自我迭代，从微光变成了暖阳。
扒下衣服，带上铁圈，绑上火刑柱——这就是真相的代价。充满雷导的人文关怀，可惜失之直白
就说人家男人是武大郎，就算你风流倜傥，西门庆也没你那么猴急！
开始以为是类似罗生门这样的剧本，但事实是蛮清楚的，就是原来的好基友抢了爵士地盘又强奸了他的妻子，这仇恨使得最后的结局不言而喻。唯一的区别只是大家都会各自美化自己的言行。最后决斗胜利属于尚非常符合逻辑，毕竟尚一直在征战而勒格里斯后来成了皮尔的会计终日沉迷酒色也忘了初心。玛格丽特是忍辱负重，婆婆不待见老公粗暴没情调，性生活也不和谐，还好最后守得云开。
