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'.

比较懵逼，说了点什么，又什么都没说。雪国和奈绪都太美了，美得需要翻翻原著寻找合适的形容。但这个故事，以为会有反转，却又跟想象和展开的一模一样，可能想看一个故事这种想法本身就很不文学吧。
三位演员都喜欢。就是故事拍得有点单薄了，结局的收尾过于不痛不痒的。
5.分。奈绪是美的，雪国也是美的，但剧情不美，益生菌也不美。
雪白的背景真的好美，服装也是好看。益生菌的发型差点以为太宰治走错片场，选角真的不太满意。
我们将“衰老”看成一种难以接受、可怖的过程，是对人类自然发展的自我否定。将性功能的退化理解为老年人的“无性化”，更是一种违反人性的解释。
和大多数文学改编一样，处理不好“文字-影像”的语境变更（比如人物独白文字变人物旁白声音，想象化作实际可见的影像和实际可听的声音，前者时常得面对与观者预设的区别，后者就更像是表演情绪、心理的偷懒取巧）、用着故作姿态的远景和推轨、搭一些煽情的配乐。
跟原著有半毛钱关系?
桥老则老矣，演这种有钱又有点丧的文青还是手到擒来啊。即别人的故事是别人的故事我只是个开麦拉（。还真是。驹子日记那段跟看电影似的，但就算打破第四面墙火场里她还是朝叶子的方向跑过去，最近的距离是擦过肩膀。ps奈绪真是楚楚动人啊，眼睛总是湿漉漉的
大师就是大师，把简单的三人关系写的这样百转千回。这部小说和电影，都与芥川龙之介的《南京的基督》有颇高相似度，先以男性视角讲述，再用女性视角收尾。这种在特定封闭时空发生的感情，说难听点儿，就像养了一条狗，男人只是把女人当一个特别的、调剂的、娱乐性的寄托，而对女人来说那却是全部。
跟原著有半毛钱关系?
不太成功的改编，演员是好演员，就是一言一行怎么都不对味儿，有种气质不合的别扭。整个叙事也是功力不足的感觉，抛开原著来看，更是一头雾水。
说完缺点，优点也很明显，有高桥一生（稳定发挥）

看过的第三个版本了 很喜欢这个版本中的独白 重构的剧本侧重在了驹子和行男的故事 颇有惊喜 但是我并不喜欢 / 一如既往 《雪国》无论是小说原著还是电影版本 每次看完 总会有一种帐然若失的感受 总想去试图搞清楚彼此的关系 但又总是缺失了些什么 或许如这个版本中多次提及的“徒劳”一样吧 /究竟 穿过县境长长的隧道便是雪国 通过一片幽暗究竟是光芒还是虚无？依然一无所知 星河的美丽旖旎就在仰望之际 /无论如何 这个版本给我了惊喜 也让我再一次步入川端康成笔下的“美”之中 忍不住凝望午夜的窗外 徒劳的思考着
穿过县界长长的隧道
是徒劳吗？ 所以驹子爱的是行男吗？所以驹子的一生是徒劳吗？
藤本有纪把驹子的日记补充以后，行男和驹子变成了这个故事真正意义上的主人公，岛村成了排解寂寞的替代品和解谜的工具人。奈绪光芒四射，单主一生君真.绿叶，高良健吾强势打酱油，那一脸人畜无害的憨笑也难怪驹子无悔付出一切。
为了连贯性的拖尾显然已经背离了原作的破碎之美
高桥怎么气质越发猥琐了。
奈绪原来这么美~每一帧都好美,哭起来可太苍凉了～
