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.

还好她丈夫战死了，她才得以幸福富裕地度过余生。男权的赤裸并不需要再次被发现，但女性的成就值得被凸显。
虽然是一个故事，但分了三个角度，完全不显得乏味，虽说是两个男人的决斗，但却是再说女性，可即便是夫妻也很难做到感同身受，每个人都是从自己的角度出发去考虑问题。
作为历史片带有立场，作为女性主义片仍不如近年三大的女性导演有力。拍的工整，另一种说法就是没啥亮点。心血来潮的2k部标记
一模一样的事情，差别只在视角，应该推广给所有易吵架的情侣。
中世紀的鋼鉄直男和有女權意識的妻子，在受投機取巧、更會經營的對手、拉偏架的領主欺凌后，向瘋批國王、虚伪的宗教投訴無門，以性命相摶，討回公道的故事。
电影采用了特别的三段式：却是3种视角，细微的差别，截然不同的意义，从而突出那个属于女性的、受害者的真实版本，而不是那些为了权力和面子的伪君子的。历史是胜利者的书写，今天女性也获得了历史书写的权利，我们活在一个好的时代，这样的悲惨故事才得以不再一再的上演。
初看是一场充斥着权欲和谎言的宫斗戏码，以三段章节的罗生门叙事展开三位当事人所经历的事实真相，雷老以他惯常的严肃冷静的宏大叙事风格慢条斯理地给观众梳理事件脉络，并以不同视角下细节的取舍呈现出三种截然不同的人物立场，控诉和谎言成为激化矛盾的关键点，雷德利刻意去立场化地还原真相，旨在最大限度消解决斗的差异性解读。令人屏息凝神的最后的决斗，成王败寇只是短暂宣誓主权的借口，剥削关系的结束才是导演真正想借题发挥的意志。浓墨重彩的人物画像尤以展现男性的自大、自恋、虚荣见长，女性在父权社会中孤立无援沦为权力的筹码、生育的机器、决斗的祭品。如今的女性主义作品往往跳脱出社会背景谈女性斗争胜利，反观雷德利在这部作品里深挖中世纪固化思维所带来的悲剧性后果，做得高级又扎实，今年奥斯卡最佳导演奖就是他的了，我先奶一嘴。
看完后略失望，前面两个视角的呈现，相同场景下的呈现方式几乎一致，看着比较单调乏味。第三个受害者的视角可能是因为前面的反衬显得特别出色，对于视女人为附庸物的丈夫和自傲的强奸犯，她狠狠的打了他们的脸，两个男人自认为是调情或者温柔的时刻，在她的角度是显得多么的丑恶。最后的决斗打的真不错。
选角完美，演技过关，代入感强到令人窒息。罗生门叙事之作不少，但这么具讽刺意义的我只看过这部；男的，男的，女的("the truth")，忍不住笑了（然后在黑压压的真相面前立马笑不出）。
四幕剧结构很酷，忠君爱国到长袖善舞到女性意识到自由搏击，作为类型片爱好者，不得不承认我从PK中得到了最大的快感
【当你看到这条短评时如果你还没观看并打算用手机或者平板电脑观看，请立即停止播放，寻找身边屏幕尺寸最大的设备在暗室环境下进行观看，否则我们看到的很可能不是同一部电影】 提个小细节：在强奸犯的臆想中，女主是自己脱鞋后上楼的，而事实上是女主逃上楼时慌不择路到踩掉鞋子。 影片极具现实意义，矛头直指当下在社交媒体上正在发生着的对维权女性的围猎。 预定2021年度最具话题性影片。
感谢雷德利，从异形到末路狂花再到本片，一直致力于女性电影的发展。
借两个骑士之间的决斗，讲述了一个女人与世界的决斗
很契合今天Metoo的1300s法国历史剧。强奸案罗生门，分别从丈夫、强奸犯和受害女性三个视角，一次次把事件重讲，其中犯罪片段出现了两次，运动影像某种程度真是暴力。女性作为丈夫的财产存在的时代，故事里的不公和恶意比比皆是。尤其怀胎六月的Marguerite在庭上被一群老男人质问被强奸时是否感到愉悦的场面，简直恐怖得触目惊心，还有女性对女性的恶意。两个主要男性角色也很“反英雄”，义胆忠肝的莽夫和长袖善舞的小人。不像当年《角斗士》很多“道理”靠台词说出来，这里的台词留给观众自己琢磨。
即使在司机的版本里，故事也很恶臭，这点着实加分
影片表现出了当时欧洲小贵族的生活状态以及哪怕是贵族女性也不受尊重的事实
依然直男视角下的“女性都不容易”：她们是欲望的工具，她们是政治的博弈，她们是生育的机器……世界电影下的女性表达都翻出花来了，他们还搁这喊大口号呢
可能是我看到过的，由男性导演拍摄的最为真诚贴切的女性视角了。在这个“女权”被当作“财富密码”的年头，这种非口号式的非符号化的表达就已经是对于女性的极大尊重。多人物视角的形式虽然已不新鲜，但影院的大荧幕极为有效地放大了精心设计的细节，也多亏了优秀的演员，让我有了沉浸式的观影体验。这是其他屏幕做不到的，一个微小的动作或神情，稍微走点神就会错过，也白费了剧组的付出。原来除了动作片科幻片等大制作，叙事片也可以很适合影院啊。
Matt Damon第一个part是有口音问题么？最后一个场景的意义是什么呢，有点含混。整体很棒
三个不同视角的罗生门，丈夫，舆论，狗屁朋友，庭审对被强奸女性的不友好把我看哭了。
