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.
这部看电影还是非常有年代代表性的，这部电影故事内容丰富，剧情不错，值得好评。
姚苇这么高的水平怎么被派到前线了，留在后方当老法师不香么？天亡“党国”啊！

主旋律并没有太多的新意，剧情的走向都在意料之中。本来水门桥是个不错的切入点，明确的战役点引发的来回争夺，可惜在大场面的调度下，还是显得大而不实。雪战的部分镜头很有有游戏感，妆术也符合战况，惨烈度也有一定表达，可惜煽情还是靠配乐和牺牲。战争没有完全的胜负，惨烈是战争的本质，希望看完引发的是对战争的思考，而不是某种情绪的煽动
感动。但只是因为结局和里面的真人真事，完全不是因为电影本身。
7分吧。拍的最好的部分是平河炸坦克；拍的最迷惑的地方是桥面插着炮弹，美军却不杀有枪的伍千里而是想留着戏耍。民族英雄不需要通过给敌人降智来凸显。
就挺平铺直叙的一部白开水电影 SIFF 20210620
我尊重这种彩色修复技术，运用在这部上来看可以接受，确实增加了可看性，不过有得有失也是必然的，暂不作评判。
片子意外的成熟好看！还是比较介意现在的状态吧。“什么事都不相信，什么话也听不进，只是漫～不经心。”hhh
时间线没太看懂，最后结局有点仓促了，精神是好的
主旋律电影中的上乘之作，人物形象丰满生动。
#2021.10.6 4K彩色修复# 向李侠同志致敬！
能在片中正义凌然地说出“因为我是中国人！”而不显得浮华，真的是很有魅力的时代影片。

新中国的成立，是因为有了千千万万个像“李侠”这样甘于奉献，勇于牺牲的烈士的付出。他的存在如同一块“砖”，哪里需要往哪搬，不仅爽快接受新任务，还能对新人“兰芬”在革命情感和业务上进行传帮带。演员的年龄和剧情虽然距离现在有段时间，但他们真实的演技、真挚情感的融入却把那段岁月栩栩如生地带到观众“面前”。“电波”就像一颗革命的种子，是火把，是光明，更是希望。一个“李侠”倒下了，背后还有千千万万个“李侠”前赴后继。我想，正是因为心怀“革命必胜”的信心，所以李侠烈士在被捕时可以面带微笑地说出“同志们，永别了，我想念你们”的话语。特别喜欢最后的那段蒙太奇，浪漫而生动，升华了整个主题。
比红海行动血腥很多
致敬中国人民解放军，为了祖国甚至牺牲生命，什么样的大爱啊，有信仰的生命最有价值。
王苹导演，八一电影制片厂出品。最出名的谍战片，原来《潜伏》和《色戒》中假夫妻，学打麻将等情节俱典出于此。叙事细节有些经不起推敲：俩人做情报工作还要用真名？多少年还一直采用同样的发报波长？手上拿枪的老茧和身上的枪伤那么明显，还能被认作重庆分子？结尾煽情还是成功的，黎明和孙道临五官还有点像哈哈
不得不说，在大范围追求“先锋”的现在，最经典的电影语言依然发挥着属于它最好的效果。即使是以各种形式（文字、话剧、哑剧、舞剧）听过几百遍的故事还是看哭了。
电影没有高超多彩的镜头语言，绝大部分转场也基本都靠叠化和黑幕，但恰恰是朴素真实的笔触，才能描摹出那个时代最坚定的信仰、最深沉的爱，正如敌人的形容“这般点划清楚，犹如一汪清水。”
