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'.

萨德侯爵夫人

简介:

  戏中,萨德本人从未露面,只存在于六名登场人物的对话中。人物的性格也很分明,西缅男爵夫人代表“美德”、而圣芳伯爵夫人代表“恶行”,门托纽夫人则代表了世俗。尽管两位代表善恶的人物更富有戏剧性,然而全剧的中心仍是主人公露涅和门托纽夫人的对立。
  以剧中人对萨德的态度为例:门托纽夫人认为声名狼藉、锒铛入狱的萨德根本就是家庭的耻辱,而萨德的妻子露涅则截然不同,她真诚地等待着被社会排斥的丈夫,并认为这才是表达真爱的惟一方式。但是,当革命风起云涌,社会价值观也随之改变。萨德出狱并被捧为新时代的旗手,门托纽夫人的态度来了个一百八十度大转弯,她成了萨德的捧哏,称萨德为法国的献身者。
  而露涅的态度却截然相反。丈夫重新被社会承认,意味着她那孤独的爱就此丧失了根基。不仅如此,她读了萨德在狱中写的小说,里面描写了一位坚持美德的女子的悲剧,露涅在作品中看到了自己的影子。她的孤独之爱从根底瓦解了,同时也意识到之前的半生不过是徒劳,于是她投身修道院,再也不与萨德相会。剧中露涅曾说:“与其付诸行动,不如创制法则……”
  这句话也可以理解为“与其委身现实,不如付诸思想”。对原剧作者三岛先生来说,“艺术”无疑是存在于现实之外的、对于异端思想之美的例证。
