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.

去年欧洲三大最高奖之中，我最喜欢威尼斯的这部《正发生》，太棒了！全程手持摄影似在模拟女主的情绪，让我看不到叙事作为固态存在于影像中，极佳的女性主义电影。
当代女性回看这个特殊的时代也好，特殊的环境价值观也罢，再看现在，性与堕胎都是无法获得更多理解和包容的事情，而大部分男人则更加该思考这个事情的严重性
22006难以承受。除了其中几幕，这其实是一部很美的电影。可是就因为那个要么侵犯要么被侵犯的，她的子宫，让所有世间生活的美与她无关。
无疑比蒙吉要差，除了直观的身体疼痛之外还剩下什么呢
“你病了？”
干净、冷冽、决绝，直接凝视的手持镜头放大了扎实的功力所带来的每一次震撼
镜头语言和故事都不算十分新颖，但是妙在借历史呼应当下的女权运动，影片探讨的堕胎问题，是法律问题，而今更多的是道德问题，但不变的是其中女性所承担的种种压力，不管是个人自由和前途受阻还是面临着人性的拷问还是随之而来的荡妇耻辱，这些确实就像女主角说的“这是一种只会攻击女性的病”。女主角身上正发生的，是整个社会对待女性态度的一种缩影，也更是所有觉醒的或未觉醒的、发声的或未发声的女性的一面镜子，女主角两位朋友的形象很有意思，一个是典型的媚男，另一个则是心持正义却犹豫不决，但是后者那一句“欲望比羞耻来得更强烈”，真的是非常有力度，直面欲望，才不会被羞辱的锁链束缚，而这是整个社会需要学习和明白的，这也是“正发生”的意义所在。结尾真够震撼人心，大特写和摇晃镜头以及一直铺陈着的打击乐节奏终于一齐起了作用。
禁止堕胎就是人间酷刑，肯定是男性发明的，因为其无法设身处地体会女性心境。像是《从不》的姐妹篇，但Anne显然更孤立无援，但坚定在她脸上仿佛一刻也未消失过
我想说的是，在一个封闭的社会文化环境下，犯错的是个体，受伤的就不仅是个体了，更是政治，而且是血淋淋的、内心恐惧的、阻止不了的、正发生的。
不好意思，借用一下某条短评的前面部分【喜欢瀑布胜过阳光普照，瀑布拍得很笨拙，阳光太精巧...阳光的说教性更强，有一种宣扬】。因为我的感受刚好跟这位相反：喜欢阳光普照远胜过瀑布，阳光普照拍得自然并不巧，瀑布太精巧了——所有安排都是为了套路而去，瀑布的说教性更强，有一种宣扬
《正发生》，片名特别好。
这部金狮最佳电影不是水货。
1.“不要靠近男人会变得不幸”简直就是真理啊。好痛啊，太痛了，和《四月三周两天》一样。对女性太不公平了。爱情和性欲，只是欺骗女人生育的谎言。
B+ #CIBEMABIA# 电影以1.37:1的旧电视格式呈现，缩小了视野，并赋予故事真实性和生活感，Anne的怀孕周期随着时间的推移如同定时炸弹一样不断揪着观众的心，她试图阻止，并付出了代价。出彩的剪辑，使一系列景深和定焦的连贯镜头变得生动，特写镜头则密切地关注着安妮怀孕的身体、心理变化，捕捉这一过程并且赤裸裸的呈现出来，与Never不同的是，它全程都是冷冰冰的。我们大多数人做出的选择通常与社会接受度相符，但我们仍然希望在坚持自我后，被拥抱与接受，即使在精神上拒绝承认这一点，正如片名《正发生》，类似的事会将一直在我们身边上演，禁止不了的是人类的生理结构，而退一万步，社会能做的就只有接纳与照顾，但听闻德州实行的堕胎禁令，让人不禁想问，社会是否正在倒退？
都在比四月三周两天，不如说更像从不很少有时总是，但节奏实在太温吞，上课考试啥的不如剪了吧。
#女性的身体战争
这部金狮奖作品，题材关于堕胎，很多类似的影片都获得过重要奖项，这其中还得数《四月三周两天》最为优秀。当然相比较而言，《正发生》的尺度很大，全程给人的紧张感和危险系数也是完全不一样的，真是替女主捏了一把汗。除此之外，就没看到其它值得深思的地方，或许还是这样的题材所衍生出来的优秀作品有很多部吧。
无删减 已有，看完觉得我等了这么久都值了。金狮奖名副其实。
每次看这样的电影都气得火冒三丈想骂脏话。身为女人，连自己的子宫都不能做主。就算同样是不成熟，为什么承担后果的都只是女人，男人就毫发无损？问题是现今社会还有这种事，人类到底进步在哪儿了？不值得。
在一个堕胎将会坐牢的制度压迫下
