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.”
“如果你喜欢美国，就算穷得脱裤子也会送你去，但是如果你只是想逃避的话，去哪里都一样”老爸确实太难了，面对这么难的现实，面对家里三个女人，但是还能保持清醒，实属难得！
她把女儿带到了美国，却要责怪她拥有了美国人的思维，真是可笑
片尾曲是陈绮贞的《尽在不言中》。
女儿看着就跟韩片《爱.回家》里的小孩一样叫人厌烦。说明一个道理，在家庭关系里，幼子代表的既是索取的角色，而厌恶被索取是人类的共性，这点不会比动物更理性。或者承担家庭时就已经签下了这份承诺，一方将会只知道索取，另一方始终无怨无悔。我们把这份承诺称之为“爱”。
只有事件的、轮廓的东西？好像不断在发动情绪，可是背后的机制没讲好？
中国式家庭。没《瀑布》那样想得太多，却反而将情感表达得更加贴切。
爸爸这个人物真的太典型了。平时甩手不管，妻子和女儿吵到不可开交时，站到妻子那一边。结果女儿还更爱爸爸，你说气不气人？
迁徙、病痛及上一场疫情映射时代洪流的无可抵挡，令个人选择的崩塌或激变成为家庭情感可信的爆发点，在天才少年演员的灵性协作下足以拓展为大中华地区的焦虑迷思。
不是自己导演亲身经历拍不出这么多家庭和学校的细节，但是一代台大学生的美国梦到底是怎样的，全片就一句话带过，太可惜。（预感到十年以后可能大陆也会出现这种进退两难美国梦最后一家人团团圆圆的电影）
那如果這已經是她的最好了呢？
想要探讨的议题太多了，导致每个议题都是浅尝辄止。移民面临的culture shock, 癌症和肺炎，父亲的缺位和脆弱，夹带了一点两岸的复杂关系。这部电影就跟这个家庭的混乱和不适一样，到最后也没有太讲明白其中任何一个问题。以至于看到最后我仍然觉得美国是个刻板符号似的乌托邦而台湾水深火热。
一个家里人人都有自己的issue，也许生活就是这样吧，但很难拍好。好几处关键的人物反应，都奇怪地失准了。每个人、每个问题都没有得到回应，最终的温暖结局，就像大量的浅焦镜头一样，让人有些莫名其妙。（在瞎说啥？对家庭生活并没有发言权
4.林嘉欣能表现出面对死亡威胁，却无法处理好自己接近崩溃的情绪，从而把负面情绪传递给处于青春期的大女儿的那种状态；男主能把那种对女儿的关爱和受妻子情绪不稳定影响，对妻子耐心的缺乏也较为真实的演绎出来
看完自然而然地就跟同期的《瀑布》和题材近似的《小伟》对比，这部家庭关系题材的影片更细腻琐碎，也更贴地真实，爸爸的那句“爱恨就是一体两面”真是点题。大女儿的演绎真不错，感觉有她就撑起了大半部影片了
美国的文化观和价值观教育下的大女儿自私，任性，冷漠，甚至冷血，是一个我非常不喜欢的角色，边看边嫌弃。但我随后想起，在我的青春期十七八岁的时候，那时我也经常和母亲吵架，有多恨父亲，因为他不理解我。等我出了社会，做了父亲后，我才发现年轻时我有多讨厌，现在就有多后悔，我也不喜欢青春期时的自己，所以这个电影我不能打高分。
那种压抑但又无法彻底爆发的氛围还是拍得蛮到位的，大女儿面临的文化冲突其实可以再深挖一点。说实话，林嘉欣饰演的这个母亲角色的脾气，如果放到现实生活中的话，已经算是挺好的了，现实生活中的很多中国家庭实在是太压抑了，比影片中更为压抑。PS：林嘉欣还是那么美，现在更多了一份温婉的气质。
乍一看以為是身份認同議題，再一看又以為是文化認同議題，細看又以為是家庭議題，看到最後就不會再關心這是什麼議題了。這部影片最有意思的地方在於它每個家庭、每個人身上相同又不相通的複雜性，一點一點地掏出來給你看，不做任何評論，讓觀眾自己帶著自己的生活經驗去咂摸箇中滋味。
感觉讲了好多，回过头看又什么也没讲。如果电影和生活一样，那谁还会想去看电影呀，过生活就好啦。
妈妈，你可不可以不要死。（情绪过渡有些硬，一直在等的那个演讲也没来
