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.

黑白画面有着淡雅的质感，是拍出了意境。只不过摄影依然不用心，末尾和《思悼》一模一样的回忆可以说差劲透了。
忘记上次看到这么好的电影是什么时候了。“如白鹤之生虽好，然兹山之污泥亦善矣。”
在豆瓣被严重过誉了，可能是满足了很多观众为民牺牲尽瘁的士大夫幻想吧。如果拍成同为东方国家搞伴天连追放令的《沉默》那种写实沉稳的风格可能会更好吧；对韩国电影必不可少的油嘴滑舌痞气斗嘴桥段始终爱不起来。唯一能出新的是西学东渐的碰撞，却挖得不深。人物的抉择也没很有说服力。
是好看的，虽然细想是有些好莱坞式的“态度转变-互相影响-一起成长-误会-和解”套路，包括结尾用too late来拉满的戏剧感，not to reinforce any East-West binarisms 但确实这种叙事和intl art house色调放在如此“古色古香”的题材上 文本里（包括故事里）不可否认地有着E-W tension, however essentialist or self-consciously rehearsed it might be. 觉得很有趣的是也许读书这件事在电影里只是一个叙事工具，对我来说却是感同身受的本行，以至于老师解释“德”的不同定义那段有些太close to home了，还有这种从隧道另一头出来的人企图告诉弟子隧道尽头没有光返璞归真的理想主义
其实讲到西学东渐，洋学中用，讲新旧文化的对撞，讲士大夫知识阶层的知识体系的冲突，讲基督教和儒教的冲突，等等，总之这是电影一个比较有意思的选题，有太多可以讲的东西。但是这部电影，很多东西都是靠演员的台词讲出来的，而不是演出来的，这是缺点。说实话，电影还可以再深刻一点，能探讨的东西还可以再全面一些。一部电影用2个小时确实难以在有限的时间内讲太多东西。
昌大说:若不能按照所学的来活，
比“民为贵，社稷次之，君为轻”的民本思想更深刻的从民众中来、到民众中去。学以致用，学为民所用，心委您所系，不是鱼水情，只因在鲤鱼跳龙门前我就是水。
“回首向来萧瑟处，归去，也无风雨也无晴”，没有比陌生的地方更好的地儿了。有雅兴，也有血性，有信仰，也在打破执迷。只有寻得知识的初衷、为人的秉性来化解思量，全片的气质让人着迷
读书是为了什么？书上教你“大学之道在明明德”，现实教会了你尔虞我诈以上欺下，问你，读书的意义是什么？是为了做一个道貌岸然的伪君子吗？还是为了与这肮脏的世界同流合污，用那点贫瘠的文化去装点自己的肮脏的内心？人心里应有一把善恶的秤，而不是只有利益。
韩国似乎终于拍古装不那么尬了，不强行高大上之后，有了另一个问题：电视剧感。
8.1
做个来者不拒的黑山渔民未尝有何不可——昌大终与自己、时代和解。今天来看，这部片子的教育意义正在于，告诫学会“人生需要摆烂”躺平，关注个体生命与命运，并非没有意义。师徒传承关系，是影片明线，昌大最终离开陆地，回到兹山，是努力挣扎后的放弃与回归。影片价值观落点，呈现人生向的选择，无可非议，毕竟时代也好不到哪里。后疫情时代再看本片，个别滋味耐人寻味。昌大显然是影片中最具成长性的人物，丁若铨一角也基本充当引路人辅角。而昌大身上体露出的当代年轻人理想抱负，在污泥的凝练里千锤百炼。昌大身上有着家国情怀与抱负，读书为学而优则仕、改编底层百姓生态，终极是维护王的正统性，但他最后抉择，剧作进行浪漫化处理。千百年来直到今天，多少志士最终选择同流合污，中饱私囊。结尾与现实的落差，极大程度讽刺当权派的伪善与谎言。
儒学遍及东亚各国之后，韩国人以电影的形式探讨了千百年来中国人一直在探讨的出世与入世的辩证关系，除此之外，对于人获得知识的意义和精神世界的支点的讨论，是让这部电影主题整体变得丰满的关键一笔。
是我很喜欢的那种电影，不疾不徐，有观点，有温度，黑白的表现风格也有加分。
真神奇啊，文学性真喜欢。黑白质感也喜欢。虽然韩国电影的几种老毛病还有，但已经是看完有余味的作品了。
况吾与子渔樵于江渚之上，侣鱼虾而友麋鹿，驾一叶之扁舟，举匏樽以相属。寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟。
《兹山鱼谱》：这是个探索世界的过程，这是个磨炼心境的过程，这是个追寻真知的过程，这是个正视人性的过程，这是个精神自由的过程。
吐槽3：这种视听表现也能吹？我真服。
我其实觉得挺一般的，看的中间想到了《邮差》，不如。视点一开始是老丁，但不由自主的就变成了弟子。而且对于主题（意识形态？）的部分，导演也很含糊，不确定他想要传递的是什么（态度？思想？精神？）。
术法和道义的分辨 在这样的作品面前 平衡与技艺都可暂缓 配乐的功能指向 链接的仓促纰漏 人物支线阴影的单薄统统都可再谈 毕竟 SK AH BW 这样的导演无效无意义于我 而再多的他们也不如这样的心力念观
