Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
讲的非常浅显.把问题用简单的方式让人看到,这是大优点。
评论区里有个评论说“儒学的正反面，这种历史题材本该由我们述说，但这是一部韩国电影。”我很赞同这句话。在韩国电影百花齐放的时候，我们这边的电影却青黄不接。随着年龄的增长，越来越想看中国电影，但在当下的中国电影里又能看到什么呢？这是谁的过错？
每个看过这部片的人心里想的应该都是“为什么这种片不是我们先拍出来？？”吧，读了四书五经，但是你们没读过王守仁吧？3.5星
看电影了没，“我想写的，是没有王的世道。” 惊了，他们已经拍出了这样主题的电影了。就是纯粹的知识分子在东亚文化里的典型命运。选择平和的，没有带血的那一侧，但和另一侧共通的，是意识到自己想报效的已经在根子上烂掉，是看着自己想守护的被剥夺更多践踏更多，看着船沉得马不停蹄日日夜夜想着自己是不是今天就是水面上最后一口气，这种无能为力的苦闷、挣扎、求生、反复、寄望与放弃。不是惊讶于拍得如何，而是惊讶于他们那里，这样一个项目真的有人去拍，有人去投，而且成了。太惊讶了。惊讶到我放弃比较——没有遗憾地放弃了。
非常感动的影片、感叹韩国能将我国的儒学诠释的如此之好并且不枯燥还能让人思考、当时韩国面临的其实跟中国非常相像、由于儒学将人民固化形成统治工具的时候自然放弃了欧洲的工业革命。就像丁先生说的性理学和洋枪洋炮是朋友可以一起走的、他的思想就是想要一个没有压迫没有阶级没有王的国家那其实就是社会主义。但是对于昌大来说从小被父亲遗弃的庶子、他一直想要靠读书来改变命运摘掉贱民的头衔、所以他无法理解入世又出世老师的敦敦教导。于是他去考了功名但是他还是无法做到为了抓泥鳅而深陷泥中。当他洗去铅华的时候老师已经不在了。其实两个人都没错、丁先生已经非常恐惧在西方日益发展的情况下朝鲜的闭关锁国代表着什么而昌大依然想着学而优则仕、去除贱民籍步入两班切近君王再去为百姓做好事。但是真正的政治中你是无法做到改变整个体制的。
没有好到8.5的地步，但是这是今年目前最好的韩片。
乌贼墨放置久了，浮墨会脱落，无法看见字迹，但是倘若将纸浸入大海，字体便会再次显现出来。
好像在看邻居的电影，但到处是我们自己的影子。好像在读过去的历史，其实讲的又是今天的故事。所有焦虑和挣扎的源头，不过是如何过好这一生。
韩剧式视听中规中矩
不能按照自己心中所想去生活那还是自己想要的么？经历过就会懂得放下吧。
很棒的电影，东方气息，历史文化感十足。从生存观到人生观，很有意思的是结尾转彩的镜头和岛上生活很容易让我想起《金福南杀人事件始末》。朱子的力量真是强大啊，时至今日，依然有人自许牧民，廷前扼人，又有什么用呢，但是人之善是绵绵不绝的力量啊。
听说明年要降薪十万，所以电影没看进去，也更加确定了躺平的决心。
为什么古有焚书坑儒，因为这是切断“贱民”向上流动或保障权益的唯一途径。我快进了很多，但真实经历的人没法快进，血淋淋的现实不容快进。
1、原来韩国受中国文化影响如此之大；2、是因为中国历史上这样被流放的人太多了，所以中国创作者就体会不到而拍不出来了么？就像昌大没法把对鱼的了解当成可以惠及后人的知识；3、电影节奏极好，用黑白色掩饰现代建筑的色彩，既讨巧又符合古味，而且契合社会黑暗之内涵，群星出彩和青鸟飞空是锦上添花；4、电影以当下韩国对中态度，没有正视中国文化古时在管理、教育和科举之打通阶层等作用，还以“空贴”讥讽，整体以两位主角逃避官场的姿态，并以简要笔触论西优东劣，减一星。
印度流水线电影，夹杂了很多无意义的情节，拼凑出的3小时。
如果不能学以致用，那便按自己的性情活着好了。
讳疾忌医会病入膏肓，早日敢于正视或还有治愈的希望
甚至不如梅峰老师的不成问题的问题

于国家是罪人，在我家就是客人。想要抓住泥鳅，要先进入泥水之中，亦未必非要如鹤般生活。
