Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

糜烂中透漏着徒劳，很好地传达了[違和感]这种微妙的涵义。造型很好，除了岛村有点像金田一耕助。
两个三角恋。岛村-驹子-行男，行男-叶子-驹子。节奏缓慢，背景简单，对话看不懂（翻译的不行），几个废青搞来搞去，但居然看完了。这种苦恋看得揪心，也许就是这片吸引人的地方。
因为记性不好，买了两次小说，至今还是一遍都没有看完，记忆最深刻的是前十几页的文字描写。
很简单的故事，从女人嘴里讲出来总是这么复杂，话有留白，为什么故事不也用留白呢？男主角更像是个工具人，卷卷头发也很出戏。
“某些炽烈燃烧的情感就像这雪夜蚕室里簇然升起的火焰，雪悲哀落下来的时候，我也需要接受我爱的只是一场虚妄，可我对这虚妄也极致热爱啊，心底寂静的红，和心外寂静的雪，以及很多的期待与失落，都静悄悄的落幕。《雪国》的结尾让我意难平，喜欢起一个人来也要命的意难平，火焰总会被扑灭，雪国又将重回寂静，但那些火光与雪交织的雪夜，总将历历入我梦来。想起你来的时候，仿佛你的脸也映在火光与朦胧的雪之中，所有的爱与悲哀都像银河，哗啦一下倾泻到我的心坎里。也请，一遍一遍的，将我冲散吧，将我压垮吧……
故弄玄虚的无厘头血浆片～好像从医学上讲，由于激素水平的变化，性欲应该是随着年纪增长逐渐降低才对，而且一般情况下雌性天然没有雄性那么强烈的性需求，也正因需求关系的差异，性服务行业古往今来才是女人具有更高的价值。还有被撞死的牛、全程插播的电视讲宗教也不知道在讲什么
多年以后回望这段时间徒劳感也是喝多了几杯子假酒

生命的虚无、洁净、哀伤，在《雪国》里达到美的极致！
我讨厌贫穷 讨厌贫穷 讨厌贫穷 不能坦率的活着
有趣，是我喜欢的那种恐怖/血浆片。里面没有强行降智行为，而是以色情片作为引入。女主一人分饰两角也很有意思，导演的视听语言让整部电影的质感更是上了一个层次。总体而言A24出品的恐怖片还是有一定水准的。想看《农场主的女儿》……
雪中的奈绪太美了太美了，益生菌这个嫖客演得……不大得劲儿。镜头很漂亮，奈绪的和服装扮更漂亮，漂亮到我都没关心旁白在念叨些啥。
剥离原著看的话，还行吧，结构跟悬疑片似的，不停抖包袱我人都给抖蒙圈了，就没一个正常人，有病得治呐米娜桑！以及，剧组能不能让老公少抽几根烟…
奈绪的气质跟苍井优太像了 对这种气质真是毫无抵抗力 电影中规中矩 但改变了叙述顺序还挺有新意 最后的“推理”部分反而被感动了 那种奋不顾身的执着 即便如飞蛾扑火 也是自己真的想去做的事 难以隐藏的爱意 连钟表声都是你

奈緒好美 有被驚艷到 /看到益生菌臉上的褶皺總是出戲地想 歲月是會留下痕跡的呀
我觉得男主演得不错。女主前半部分不太行，最后小高潮段还算可以，整体来说还是嫩了些弱了点……
作为一部SP拍得还算精致。九十分钟的最后三分之一通过日记来复述一遍，手法太笨。高桥的长脸和乱发实在不适合演岛村。
