简介:

  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'.

简介:

夫妻档亚伦·泰勒-约翰逊与萨姆·泰勒-约翰逊又要合作了,他们将把“臭名昭著”的畅销书、讲述吸毒“瘾君子”的《百万碎片》(A Million Little Pieces)拍成电影,计划丈夫出演、妻子导演。两人曾这样合作电影《无处的男孩》(并因此相恋)。《百万碎片》项目也很狗血:原作是James Frey写的书,卖得非常好,03年推出后就是各大电影公司争夺的目标,并在当年由华纳取得改编权,布拉德·皮特和詹妮弗·安妮斯顿、布拉德·格雷任制片人。  然而电影还没拍好,2006年Frey被曝出丑闻,这本市面上被归类为“自传”的书夹杂了很多不实信息,Frey对他的经历进行了修饰润色。此后Frey被批为“大骗子”,选这本书进入她创办的“奥普拉读书俱乐部”的主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞也称受到欺骗,电影项目也成了烫手山芋,几经波折。  但故事本身确实很引人入胜,讲述男主角在一架...
