With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
这个《水形物语》的导演好像侧重于展现古怪诡异的气氛，却不擅长讲故事。诈骗故事完全可以讲得十分引人入胜。可这电影节奏感不行，就觉得又拖沓又没有跌宕起伏~有这时间真不如看2集《人世间》。
但当叙事运转起来之后
我太喜欢关于魔术与马戏团这类题材的电影，今天原本打算早点睡的，可还是一口气就看到了一点半，罪过。果然人类的贪欲就像电影描述的那样，是一潭黑色的无底深渊，在不知不觉间，命运就早已写下了通往坠落的答案。
我还是愿意花一个半小时去看一个人搬起石头砸自己的脚，而不是两个半……有一种把I'm 硬拉长成my name is的感觉
昨晚，不知多少人和我一样，被「国师」张艺谋「知微见著、去繁化简」的「中国古典」美学和浪漫震撼与感动到。虽与东方传统文化大相径庭，但喜欢钻研「黑科技」的观众也不妨看看西方《梦魇巷》里的「精神现象」学。显然，这是一个吸引「眼球」和争夺「注意力」的时代，导演的工作就是吸引并操纵观众。对于「江湖骗子」来说，导演仅是一个饭碗。然而，男主却是一个有「弑父」意识和包袱，且有「恋母」诉求和冲动的「时空」旅行者。他一面「挣钱」糊口，一面《偷吻》学艺——他的「艺术」启蒙导师是他的母亲，而他的「越界」对象亦是扮演《心灵猎人》角色的「通灵知心」师母。在托罗这部试图运用「基督」文明详解「水火既济」卦相，被「空心病」患者低估的寓言作品里，他的理想观众显然不是那些寻求感官刺激，容易被「江湖杂耍」牵着眼和脑子走的访客。待续
没看过老版，就这个新版来看非常好，希望所有相信岐黄之术的鹅们好好接受科普，读心之骗术是可以编一个大全的。而且里头服化道那个精致程度，令人瞠目。
美术摄影特效都到顶了无可挑剔，可在电影内容上唯有鲁妮·玛拉的部分有点儿费里尼[大路]那意思，马戏团那段少了德尔托罗理应有的恶趣味不是很满足，中间库珀和布兰切特的“连档模子”段落也拍得甚是无趣，就和用的这版《Stardust》一样，离抒情很远，怪味有所展露，却又不尽兴；“But you’re not as hard to read as you think, lady.”
大魔王演精明女就像汤姆汉克斯一样已经没有波澜了……
茨威格说:＂所有命运馈赠的礼物,都已在暗中标好了价格。＂感觉主人公颇有当年那个曹＂国师＂的味道。

You don't fool people. They fool themselves.
看到kate和rooney又共演了就买了票去看，还以为能看到些基情，有些小遗憾。电影的话就感觉没什么意思。当能刚好又让我思考一下欧美那个年代所共有的马戏团回忆，还是蛮有趣的
陀螺你奥特啦！但你还是魔法小王子。（原来是翻拍片为啥要翻拍上个时代的黑色电影？？）
卡罗尔之后卡特女王和鲁尼又相聚。片子如陀螺导演一贯的黑色，没看过老版，我觉得精彩。各种隐喻和铺垫
众多人物的设置，相互背景和新旧关系，引发一连串的戏剧冲突，具有挺自然和流畅的交互。满腹经纶满嘴仁义道德的老板，最终依然长袖善舞化险为夷，成为笑到最后的那个大大大赢家。最有可能倒逼资本的那几个，最终也耍尽阴谋成了花样赢家。而我们以为处处都掌握一手好棋子的被解雇会计师，则是唯一的一个输家。反套路之下，道尽魔幻。四个字——因吹斯汀。

结尾收的不错，别的感觉除了演员演技，没什么看点。整体叙事节奏拖沓，人物也没立起来，逻辑上不太能自洽，也是有些遗憾。魔鬼也好人也罢，生活嘛总是人与人之间的互相愚弄，得失如何只有自己清楚了。重要的还是保持初心吧，不然下场也不应该好的。
还是前半部分马戏团的部分比较好看，为啥我有种库珀台词多了，戏反而变拖了的错觉。前半段没啥话的地方味道就很对。
前半段不得不沉浸在德尔托罗恋物癖式的美学趣味中 当重心开始叙事一切便开始崩塌
托罗是我近年来很喜欢的导演，他的作品特征明显，纯洁的小白兔，得力没有好下场的二把手，以及真实到溢出屏幕的痛感，希望导演能在深度上再下点功夫，而且感觉被骗了，大魔王和鲁妮·玛拉完全没有对手戏诶...
