天堂一刻第一季

刚刚看完第一季的最后一集，到底婚礼有没有举行呢，要等下一年了。真是吊足了胃口。唐顿庄园上周刚演完，paradise也结束了，哎，下周看啥呢。

刚刚看前两集的时候，很惊艳，美丽的灰姑娘，比唐顿庄园要奢华鲜艳很多的服饰，很英式古典的对话，韩剧大饭店一般的商业剧情。看到中间，总觉得有点不及我的期望了，男主的情人太多，感情太捉摸不定了，内容拖沓。不过最后几集又开始吸引我了。

女主年轻漂亮小女仆状，女二多金一脸皱纹，女主管典型英国气质英国腔调。男主开始我特讨厌他的胡子，不过后来越来越觉得他挺有男人味的，我是女人也会爱上他了。

记得bbc哪里的评论说，paradise是英国古代版的sex and the city，时髦的衣服，开放的男女关系。这些元素已经值得一看了。

这是左拉的＂妇女乐园＂在英国的翻版，但原著时代背景更大些，到象结尾德尼丝回乡下了，然后莫里将要去接她回来成婚。
改编融入了许情节，好像没有订婚一亊。但是改编得最高明之处，是融入许多现代元素。比如销售倾销、大卖埸押货销售、占用厂家的流动资金、公益行为、VIP客户、女性专场、打破封闭的单一引入儿童专柜，最妙的是卖小鸟，儍胖妞真得把它卖出去了一只。
左拉小说里没有那么多花样繁多的销售手段，倒也开啟了＂巴黎春天＂。现在这个女人天堂(另外一种翻译片名），有太多新花样了，倒似销售教科书。
总之，BBC还是很到底的，贯彻它一贯的严谨作风。BBC的女主角都不是最漂亮的，饱满的脸丰韵的身。期待第二季!

人生2个遗憾，心中的经典没有被再此演绎，心中的经典被演绎糟蹋了。
作为左拉《妇女乐园》爱好者，看到BBC翻拍的新闻无比激动哦，看完第一集，可以说有点遗憾，虽然BBC出品保证精品，但是，和原著的法式风格比较起来，英式内敛感觉不是有个味道。
第一集看完了，
(1）先说选角方面，女一号长相还比较符合小说，就是个子太高了，居然比男二号还要高，剧中的人物应该是个小巧的、灵活的的印象
男一号，moray同学，有商业人物的精明，但是没有原剧中那种有些纨绔，又有些强势的感觉，可能也是身高不够高？
女二号是在原剧基础上再创造的，看5月份的新闻，还有网友担心女二号名气比女一号大，盖过女一的风头，现在完全不用担心了，因为造型师没有站在女二这边。剧中作为银行家的千金，未出嫁的女儿，应当也是花样妙龄才对啊，可是这个造型，像是守寡多年的，看上去比男一年龄还大。小说是有个公爵夫人，是Moray的情人，可既然编剧改成银行千金了，造型师同学难道没看剧本
男二号，更应该是个纨绔的感觉才对，这里感觉就是自信不足、有点阴沉的感觉
（2）故事地点换成了英国，不是巴黎了，货币也换成英镑了
剧本改编还是要赞的，虽然只有第一集，但是戏剧冲突的线路已经很明晰了。
小说中，Denise是矛盾的集合体，她一方面热爱这个席卷旧商业模式的零售潮流，另一方面又同情那些旧商业模式下的小店主，在其他人反抗Moray的扩张计划时，她意识到这个是发展趋势，所以她会爱上Moray
在第一集中，这一点表现的更直接，poline（配角女）说她 fallen in love with moray,她回答说 I want to be him.
（3）Denise的2个弟弟没了，大概是为了剧情紧凑吧，可是照顾这2个弟弟是展现Denise的女性美的重要一面，小说中，Denise要辞职走了，Moray决定放弃了，大甩卖中，moray看到denise在帮助2个弟弟买东西，围着他们转来转去，被再次打动，决定求婚了。没了2个弟弟，编剧要怎么编呢？
（4）法国改成英国，也是人物形象发生变化的原因，英国人含蓄内敛，法国人要外放一些，所以Moray的情人啊，纨绔啊，估计都没有了，虽然也可以把故事编圆，可还是很期待法国原版的啊，法国人同学，自己家经典被翻拍，心理作何感想啊？
  

The paradise 中文译名：彼岸是天堂/女人天堂，然后我在豆瓣上又发现这个“天堂一刻”这个翻译。2012年，BBC ONE开播第一季，2013年开播了第二季。但是BBC已经证实不会有第三季了，因为得腾出位置给新的电视剧。个人还觉得蛮可惜的

故事背景是在1875年的英国，剧情围绕这个The Paradise的英国第一家百货超市展开。John Moray是The paradise的经理人，充满野心和抱负，但是也有柔情的一面，他与可以给他提供经济帮助的银行家的女儿Katherine订婚；Denise Lovett是从苏格兰农村来的女孩，希望能够帮助叔叔维持生计，但是她发现the paradise势不可挡发展，于是去the paradise工作。

John Moray和Denise Lovett一见面便擦出火花。Denise Lovett是渴望经济独立的女人，在19世纪由男性主导的社会，她的精神和抱负很难能可贵。她为The paradise提供了许多新的点子以招揽顾客，而John Moray也被她深深地吸引。俩人之间的情感日渐加深，可是种种挑战和困难也横隔在他们中间。

The paradise单从剧情还是服装造型，我觉得都不输Downton Abbey。可是Downton Abbey已经出至第五季了，但The paradise两季之后就没有了，也有其原因的。

一是演员阵容，很明显The paradise差了一大截，看看海报就知道。这导致在剧情上，The paradise长期会单薄一些，不像Downton Abbey可以给观众回味和吐槽的地方。

二是主题，The paradise最初给我的感觉是Denise Lovett如何在男性世界中占据一席的主题，可是拍着拍着，这个主题感觉若即若离，有那么点像，又有那么点不像，导致我很难判定它。这到底是不爱情剧，还是女性励志剧？模糊的概念也会导致观众的迷茫。长寿命的电视剧，比如：Game of Thrones，我可以说：妖魔鬼怪打打杀杀争王位；Friends,，我可以说：三男三女喜怒哀乐，携手共成长；Gossip girl我可以说：帅男靓女，XXOO，华服美景，纸醉金迷......
三是，宣传上也有关系啦

但是这部剧我还是很喜欢的，可是它在我心里挖了个坑，却没填满，不开心.....




（以下来自wikipedia)

Series 1 begins in 1875, and portrays the lives and loves of the people who work, shop and trade, in and around the first English department store.[8] The owner of The Paradise department store is widower John Moray. Moray was once a draper's boy in Emersons, the small shop that grew under his managership into The Paradise, which has come to dominate the high street to the detriment of small shopkeepers nearby.

Into this world comes Denise Lovett, from the small town of Peebles in Scotland, whose uncle Edmund is one of the shopkeepers struggling to survive. Denise takes a job at The Paradise and is soon seen by Moray as a rising star, to the annoyance of Miss Audrey, the head of ladies' fashion, and of Clara, a fellow shopgirl. Moray is financially dependent on Lord Glendenning, whose daughter Katherine is determined to marry Moray and sees Denise as a direct threat to her ambitions.

Series 2
Lord Glendenning has died and Katherine Glendenning has inherited The Paradise. She now has a husband, Tom Weston, and a young stepdaughter, Flora. Katherine asks Moray, who has been exiled to Paris, to return to revive the fortunes of The Paradise, and save it from being sold. Weston is determined to control his wife and The Paradise, overruling Moray to his own advantage. Moray's position at the Bon Marche is a reference to Octave Mouret's derision and constant competition with the same.
