别指望那是一部充满政治隐喻的沉重正剧，迈克·李的这部《与此同时1984》其实更像是一场发生在伦敦小巷里的闹剧。这部片采用了非常巧妙的“罗生门”式叙事结构，仿佛同时打开四扇窗，让四位不同阶级的底层小人物在同一周内尴尬地命运交织。 帕特里克·麦汉姆贡献了教科书级别的“沉浸式”表演，他蜷缩在沙发中、眼神空洞地盯着电视的镜头，精准捕捉了底层小人物的苍白与麻木，极具感染力。故事笼罩在压抑的1984年氛围中，却充斥着一种魔幻现实主义，满大街的“撒切尔夫人”活人像傀儡一样在雨夜中重复行动。迈克·李导演最擅长的就是用琐碎的邻里生活填满画面，剧本就像跳接蒙太奇，今天你是隔壁混蛋，明天我是这栋楼的蠢货，让你笑得直不起腰。马龙·韦恩贡献了极具爆发力的表演，将职场与家庭的双重压抑演得淋漓尽致。

　　Adult brothers Mark and Colin Pollock still live with their parents Frank and Mavis Pollock in a small apartment in the projects of London's east end in what is a collective depressed and unhappy existence. The three men of the household are all on the dole, each doing little to find gainful employment. Between the brothers, Mark is the smart aleck, who calls his parents by their given names to irk them, and who hangs out with a bunch of hooligans as he refers to himself and his friends, such as a skinhead named Coxy. Although never medically diagnosed as such, Colin is seemingly emotionally slow. Colin likes to hang out with Mark and his friends in his want to be accepted, especially as Mark tells him that a neighborhood girl named Hayley is interested him. The family rarely socializes with Mavis' sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and John, who live a middle to upper middle class and seemingly perfect existence in the suburbs of Chigwell. Although not telling them to their face, John dislikes his relations by marriage, believing especially Mark to be brash and trashy. A unilateral act by Barbara leads to many issues within the extended family coming to the surface, most specifically the true happiness of the marriage between Barbara and John, and what Colin is truly looking for to be happy in life.
