從很多層面上來講,peaky blinders都是一部不錯的言情劇。雖然走向過于瓊瑤了一點,但是風韻和風骨都還是有的。本片的本質基本上也由尼爺?shù)钠^曲涵蓋了。導演力求達到的效果無非兩點。蘇。并且冷酷炫。換句話說,對于這部劇,導演并沒有追求史詩效果。野心不足,(當然也可能是經費不足...),只是披著黑幫片的外衣而已。所以那些追求大西洋帝國風格走向的旁友們,你們走錯片場了。(蠟燭
其實從基本的人物設定和第一集的展開情況來說,哪怕排除一切一切客觀上的不利因素,本劇也完全可以拍成一個精良的類教父式家族傳奇故事。無奈編劇大大一路發(fā)梗一路丟,丟到最后一集完全跟第一集失去了聯(lián)系。而那些本來可以成為矛盾激發(fā)點的設定,多數(shù)都被輕描淡寫甚至選擇性遺忘了。
比如Tommy在前幾集中著力描寫的PTSD癥狀。本來可以成為他戰(zhàn)后性格轉變的原因,與家人矛盾的激發(fā)點,和對溫情的渴望的源泉。結果竟然到了劇集中間段后就再也沒出現(xiàn)過。
比如Tommy和Freddie的關系。作為一對一起長大又出生入死過的,成了連襟的好基友,F(xiàn)reddie戰(zhàn)后成為了走在潮流尖端的共產黨人,Tommy則一心想將家族生意合法化。這其中可以潛在的矛盾基本已經足夠觀眾腦補一本三十萬字的小說了,結果編劇竟然把Freddie弱化處理到了如此不堪的程度。
再比如警署的存在感。既然故事主角已經被設定成了戰(zhàn)爭英雄。警察的上司又是丘吉爾這樣的亂世梟雄。那么警察這一Peaky blinders的敵對組織就不應該是劇集刻畫出的這個不堪一擊又缺乏存在感的樣子。警署這個上司蠢成這個樣子,還公私不分到想要跟執(zhí)行任務期間的臥底保持浪漫關系......簡直_(:з」∠)_
總之編劇為了體現(xiàn)Tommy的高大全幾乎無所不用其極到了不惜放棄豐富其他角色的機會。不僅警察局的頭兒毫無魅力,甚至連敵對家族的頭領也被寫成了表演型人格障礙且馭下能力低下到連收尸的小弟都沒有的蠢貨......
除開數(shù)不勝數(shù)的被編劇錯過的好劇情,本劇的漏洞和交代不清之處也絕不在少數(shù)。單以Arthur本人來說,為什么對背叛過家族的父親輕易交付信任?為什么在賬目不清的情況下大哥沒有被撤換職位?為什么Grace可以輕易以nobody的身份介入家族事務?為什么大哥心理脆弱矛盾到了可以赴死的程度卻能被Tommy一句輕飄飄的承諾拉回來?為什么要選擇上吊這種娘炮的自殺方式?......
這樣的劇本浪費了精彩的卡司,牛掰的配音師和癡漢(劃掉)的攝影師。讓一部本可以非常精彩的劇集淪為了一部杰克蘇式言情向作品。But, 雖然第一季不甚精彩的結束于一個讓人沒什么期待的懸念。但是第二季出街之前一樣會有人敲碗等番,原因其實也很簡單。
畢竟基里安實·在·是·有·點·太·帥·了·吧。
電視劇木有評論區(qū),那發(fā)這裡好了。。。。。

INTERVIEWS
LAURA KELLY SEP 18, 2013
Peaky Blinders' Cillian Murphy talks Brummies, Batman, and why he doesn't use Twitter
We have entered the third golden age of telly. Kevin Spacey hit the headlines recently using the phrase, GQ writer Brett Martin has a new book out, Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution, on the topic and critics around the world are chattering about it.
The Wire, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire: a (mostly American) wave of ambitious dramas has shown that telly is now smarter and more ambitious than cinema.
Peaky Blinders, created by Dirty Pretty Things writer Steven Knight, is among the best of the British attempts to compete with these monolithic super shows. Playing like a Brummie Boardwalk Empire and similarly set after the first world war, it follows Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby, a gang leader who’s just returned from the trenches damaged and still in possession of his gun.
In a Birmingham that was at the time a major centre of industry, he finds himself jockeying for position alongside Communists, the IRA and a particularly ruthless Northern Irish police chief (played with vigour by Sam Neill). Favourite of both Danny Boyle and Christopher Nolan, Cork boy Murphy has become a proper Hollywood celeb in the last few years, but he insists that choosing a BBC Two mini-series for his next job is not as odd as it seems. Peaky Blinders fits in just fine, he says, beside 28 Days Later, Sunshine, The Dark Knight and Inception.
Peaky Blinders is a project that has clearly captured Murphy’s imagination; he spent hours listening to archive recordings of Brummies to get the accent right, as well as thoroughly immersing himself in the period. It also allowed him to stay close to his house in north London, his wife, artist Yvonne McGuinness, and his two young sons, seven-year-old Malachy and six-year-old Carrick. It’s from the kitchen in that family home, sustained by a cup of Barry’s Tea (his favourite Irish brew), that he’s speaking to The Big Issue…
Tell us about your character in Peaky Blinders.
Tommy’s been sent home from the trenches. These men came back and they were just spat out into society without any help. Most of them had lost all time for the establishment and the authorities and the church and everything else. They were damaged men. Then they came back into a society that had been run by women for four years.
The obvious comparison is Boardwalk Empire, given the era…
I unfortunately haven’t got round to Boardwalk Empire – it’s one of my box-sets that I’ve yet to unwrap. I think it’s impossible to make a foray into the gangster genre without rubbing shoulders with the American classics, like The Godfather, Bonnie and Clyde and now Boardwalk Empire. You’ve just got to wear those references openly. What we’ve tried to do here is create something very British.
Birmingham at the time was the industrial capital of the world. It was producing more than Chicago and Detroit. Illegal bookmaking was huge all over Britain. It was run by gangs and there’d be pitched battles with guns and knives. It’s never really been investigated dramatically. Steve [Knight] had this whole block of history to play with, so it’s very rich. I think that separates it from the American stories. It’s refreshing that this is a story where working-class people look sexy and glamorous and stylish. Generally it’s the upper middle class and the aristocracy in British period dramas.
It seems like all the big Hollywood stars want to get involved in TV at the moment.
I definitely think that for writers, having the scope of six or 12 hours to tell a story must be so alluring. Also for me to be able to really investigate every corner, to shine a light into every nook and cranny of the psyche of a character is great. People have talked about it being the equivalent of the novel and I can see why that comparison fits. It is a golden age for TV. It’s clear it’s happening, so you’d be silly not to get involved. TV seems to be filling that place in cinema where clever mid-budget, independent films have been pushed out a little bit by the big franchise, tent-pole movies.
Big franchises like Batman?
Well, yeah… [laughs]. I would consider that a slightly more, um, intelligent rendering of the superhero genre.
How did you find the Brummie accent?
It’s not among the most beloved out there. The Birmingham accent and Birmingham itself hasn’t been fashionable for a while. In terms of the accent, we listened to a lot of archival tapes. My remit was to make it as authentic as possible but also as accessible as possible. Birmingham will deliver its verdict.
They can’t be too unhappy – you’ve made the place look a lot cooler than usual.
I really hope so.
The soundtrack on Peaky Blinders is really striking, featuring Nick Cave, The White Stripes and Tom Waits. As a big music fan, was that exciting?
I was thrilled. It was great to know that those guys actually watched it and liked it. There’s something about those artists – an outlaw quality – that really suits the show.
Been to any good gigs recently?
I’m going to see Bj?rk in a couple of weeks. I saw Alice Cooper in the desert in Albuquerque. He has a lot of energy for a man of his age.
Is it harder to get to as many gigs as you’d want now you have kids?
Yeah, it is kind of hard. Some things you’ll move mountains to see but, you know, you get old and at a certain point you think, God, I’m awful tired. I didn’t used to have that in my twenties.
You’re a bit unusual in the celebrity world in that you don’t use Twitter.
No, I don’t do that. I remember the pre-internet days. I remember when you just met at an agreed hour at the bus station. And if someone didn’t show up, you’d just stand there and wait. You’d give them 25 minutes. This immediacy that we expect now, it’s spilled over into film and everything. I mean, ‘spoilers’ – surely the clue is in the word? To spoil something is to ruin it.
So do you Google yourself?
You know, you’re a liar if you say you haven’t. But I really, really try not to do it because it’s bad for you. Human beings, the way we’re wired – or maybe it’s just an Irish thing – but you never believe the good stuff. You just believe the bad stuff. It can be a negative forum, the internet. I try to stay away from it as much as possible.
You may be right. I actually ran into an entire blog someone had set up dedicated to unflattering screen shots of you.
Isn’t that lovely now? What a way to spend your time and express your creativity. That’s the world of the internet.
The IRA makes an appearance in Peaky Blinders – and you’ve dealt with similar themes before in The Wind that Shakes the Barley. It’s still emotive territory – the director of new film A Belfast Story had to apologise after the film’s PR company sent a bala-clava, nails and duct tape to journalists. Is there a responsibility to have a bit of sensitivity?
Of course there is. If you’re dealing with political or social issues, you have to be mindful of the people who have lived through it. The version of the IRA we’re dealing with is almost 100 years old and it’s very different. Similarly in The Wind that Shakes the Barley, so I think it’s fair game. But [The Troubles] are always going to be rich for drama. It’s all about how you tackle it. That’s obviously an example of not a very sensitive way to promote a film, but I thought Hunger was a great example of a film that was sort of about Northern Ireland but it was also an art film.
Last time we spoke, you were telling us about being a vegetarian and a good cook… have you been watching Great British Bake Off?
No. I haven’t got into it. I’m a MasterChef fella. And I’m actually a lapsed vegetarian.
When did this happen?
About a year ago. I felt I needed some meat. I had some venison. It was amazing. My body was like, yes! My wife’s still veggie but the boys eat meat. We’re a very tolerant household. I do sometimes have to cook two dinners, though.
Did you hear that Christian Bale was apparently offered $50m to reprise the role of Batman in Man of Steel 2? [Before the role went to Ben Affleck].
I wouldn’t believe what you read about that stuff.
It’s a testament to how much of a cultural touchstone that series is that people would believe it. Are you glad to have been part of it?
Ah, yeah, I was very lucky to have been involved in it. I didn’t expect to pop up in the second two either, so that was a nice little treat.
Is there a superhero you’d like to play?
Surely they’ve nearly exhausted them...
They didn’t ask you to be Doctor Who?
No. Did that change hands?
Peter Capaldi’s taking over.
Oh, brilliant. I love him. That’ll be amazing. We don’t watch it – Doctor Who has kind of passed us by in this house. But maybe we will when Peter Capaldi’s in it.
What is next for you?
I’m going to shoot this Ron Howard film in September, In the Heart of the Sea. It’s the true story of the sinking of the Essex by a whale. It’s the story that Melville based Moby Dick on. I read the book in my twenties. I loved it. I mean you have to work at it, there’s a lot of going back to the appendix, but it’s a cracking, cracking book. I read it on holiday before we had kids, so I had a lot of time to lie down. I don’t have that any more.

在我的想象里,作為一個合格的黑幫老大:
1.老大的權利必須是毫不動搖的,就算是家人,在幫派里也只是自己的下屬。
2.身邊必須是明里暗里都有不少人保護的,任何出現(xiàn)在身邊的人都要被盤查到祖宗三代,任何來歷有一點不清楚的人都會被重點關注。如果不是親信根本近不了老大的身,更別說是能聽到老大談秘密了。
3.一旦出事,最先懷疑新加入的來歷不明的人。
4.上下打點,最好是上面有人。總之一旦風向有變一定會及時有人通知。
5.情報網四通八達,勢力范圍內一切風吹草動他都能清楚。同時勢力范圍以外的地方也要廣撒情報網,對別人的地盤發(fā)生的事也得很了解。
6.每次有行動的時候準備多條方案和多條退路,防止一切意外的發(fā)生。
7.老大的愛人不能參與任何幫派活動,不能探聽幫派的任何秘密,甚至人身自由都要被限制,不能隨便一個人出門。這點應該適用于所有高層人員。
而作為一個臥底....
1.履歷一定要清楚。是不是真實的先不說,一定要清楚。
2.每次泄密時要制造可信的不在場證明,不能讓任何人知道自己知道這個秘密,至少也得制造“別人泄密的可能性比我大多了”的情況。
3.一旦被臥底探出了什么,上級組織出于保護臥底的原因不能馬上行動,至少不能馬上讓幫派知道有人泄了密。當然,除非臥底干完這票就跑ㄟ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ
請Tommy和Grace對號入座....
1.打著父親的名義去做臥底,結果愛上敵人,背叛了領導
2.愛上了敵人卻出賣敵人。完成找木倉的任務無可厚非,殺了tom其實都理直氣壯??伤诿妹蒙a的當晚出賣妹夫。
3.口口聲聲真愛tom扭頭就結婚了。背叛×3
4.結了婚一個電話就去見耳聾的姑媽了。背叛老公。理由是真愛。我沒騙過我老公,你可別瞎說啊,甩耳光。
就是一個打著淑女 氣質 有教養(yǎng) 偉光正 真愛 正義等等旗號,一直端著勁兒端著,但實際上干盡了所有連有點職業(yè)操守的x工作者都不屑去干的事。
這人設,已經不僅僅是下面那點事兒的問題了,是人品有問題。簡而言之,就是又當又立,茶b典型。全劇只有警官那句whore,最配得上她。
如果她第一季就死了,可能還沒那么討厭。
如果她沒有再婚,一直期待重溫舊情,那好歹是個真重感情的人。
如果她再婚以后老老實實的,跟tom以禮相待,那還能叫從良。
如果她說完木倉的事沒有出賣妹夫,或者在別的日子送妹夫進局子,又或者她完成任務深藏功與名再動心也沒鼓掌。她都會是一個偉光正值得人喜愛的人物兒。
畢竟同樣干傳統(tǒng)文化意義上whore事兒的女的這劇里有的是,未婚先孕還要私奔的妹妹,出賣肉體給老頭換兒子出獄的姑媽,職業(yè)就是躺著掙錢的栗子,甚至那個中國姑娘。
你就說說,有哪個能比她grace更討人厭吧。
所以,真不是下面那點兒事兒的問題。我個人,對女性,沒有蕩婦羞辱的癖好。
可編劇偏偏塑造了這么個,說名媛貴女不貴,說干練瀟灑女特工又不行,說單純白花又狠毒隨便的角色,真,啥也沒弄好。
(僅針對grace不上升演員)
一開頭就是粵語 必須講句 是我看這麼多英美劇里最標準的發(fā)音了
探長突然掏出戒指那下,Ada突然推出嬰兒車那下,很狗血很狗血
開頭那標準粵語還以為下錯片,有冇人奶。今年新劇里最好看!冷拽酷再加Nick爺?shù)呐錁繁聘褓濓w天了!墨菲戴帽子氣場超足,攝影妥妥腦殘粉,每個鏡頭美得內傷。伯明翰腐爛敗落臟亂差氣氛營造得太強,黑幫家族,布爾什維克,軍方沖突有看頭。美女臥底設定略弱智,跟阿sir會面智商特做雞。蛋疼結局又要等一年
我這種土鱉還是覺得這部比大西洋帝國更容易follow啊TVT
恭喜基蓮遇到了這么棒的角色,睿智、果敢、狠辣有時甚至專斷但絕對重情義,抹不去的心理創(chuàng)傷,以及攝影師的杰克蘇屬性,用光、角度各種講究,對著基蓮各種特寫特寫特寫,絕贊的BGM,這一切的一切賦予了Tommy Shelby這個角色致命的魅力。還是要吼一吼基蓮好美好帥,衣服好好看,被蘇成渣!第二季酷愛來
Cillian Murphy真的好帥?。(^o^)/~帽子,帽子,帽子真心給片兒加分?。?/p>
高水準!除了丘吉爾選的太XX外,其他還真找不出什么吐槽點~必追英劇之一~
畫面,配樂很贊,好像一幕大戲要開演了。
這么多年第一次get到基里安到底帥在哪里+1 (看完第五集心滿意足,手動再見)
業(yè)界良心
BBC,還有啥可說的,鏡頭、時代感、燈光、服裝、道具。
善于計謀,拿捏住身邊所有人,卻對一個明顯來路不明的女人不問過往,不加防備,我不理解。對不起,我更想看拔吊無情。
睡完照心窩捅一刀完事兒說這都是公事但我真的愛你??!女臥底滾犢子吧!BGM爆贊!
當年Bowie給Cillian寄了那張戴帽子的照片說這是他cos的peaky blinder,Cillian回信把扮演Tommy的帽子寄給了Bowie??
明明各方面都如此過硬的一部劇 為什么感情線如此的lame呢。。 偶像劇的threesome啊。。。//攝影師一定暗戀男主很久了吧!
配樂張力十足!一個有好BGM的劇通常不會太差
這部劇給我最深的印象就是:以型男走臺的姿勢演繹黑幫火并。
斯里安帥成這樣沒救了...
Cillian Murphy三百六十度光影大片
只要你看下去就會發(fā)現(xiàn)此劇除了BGM烘托的氣氛簡直一無所有,我撐完第一季就永久棄了。劇情能不能再sb一點,黑幫火拼程度還不及銅鑼灣古惑仔,各路人馬的智商都被黑道家族爆出翔,更不要提火線了。男主一副運籌帷幄的樣子結果被來歷不明演技不佳的女臥底唬得團團轉,我懷疑在大西洋帝國活不過兩集。
