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'.

惊喜之作！完成度极高，在发廊的戏竟然让我竟然有了一种王家卫的即视感。整个剧本戏剧冲突足够，张力极大。人物性格转变也非常合理，非常推荐去看
男孩始终还是最懂男人的心思，但活在现实中的我们可能不怎么相信电影结尾那一段转变，或许真实的他与他就是如此吧，在相遇分别后各自都找到了属于自己的真实模样。
这片子节奏完全不对啊，如果把那些有关用药和永恒的东西展开讲是一个很好的话题，哪怕扯也没关系，而不是用一些暧昧的无关痛痒的话打哈哈过去，又在前面铺垫了太久那些无聊的北京往事，看到一半我差点走了。最可气的是，两位女士都是朝气蓬勃有理想，被男主左一个嫌弃“像白酒”右一个嫌弃“还是小时候好”，最后还都屁颠颠的为男主卖命，这也太自我感动了吧，我都不明白人家图啥啊。
寻找你自己 Daniel一开始就散发着一股直男气息 我还在奇怪这怎么会是同影 在轮船上的时候Sara就在大叔后面 之后看到他就是Daniel要找的那个恋人震惊了一下 Sara的朋友Fernando是真的很好！（PS.Daniel真的是好帅！！身材也好！最后一幕真的很很好啊！两人之间很有性张力 Daniel在车站送Sara去里约也很美好）
竟然还不错 就是太赶了 正好在读《和我们的女儿谈话 》 有很多贯穿的地方（死亡，父母，女儿…）
后半部分很精彩。sara美得如梦如幻，如痴如醉
旁白太多了，好像一部读出来的电影。前后也略有些割裂，故事讲着讲着就跑了。有些内容还是有想法的，但是讲得方式太差了。而不老这个概念，也基本没用上啊。
一部分裂的电影，一边是如《阿甘正传》一般的爱情故事，另一边是似科教片一般的生命探寻，如果单独独立，是两部不错的题材，一个拍的细腻温润，一个拍的前卫大胆，但两者结合一起真的觉得怪异😂PS.虽然小时候的故事发生地在青岛，但你们说的是我大潍坊话！可太亲切了。
很有感覺⋯
前半段無聊，後半段幼稚。動物電影拍成這樣真少見，劇情太離譜
#venezia78 酷儿狮！酷儿狮！酷儿狮！酷儿狮！（tnnd，酷儿狮居然给了创作比较有特色的the last chapter。这年头，一个好故事不值得鼓励了。幸好观众为它投了票，得了观众奖，证明其依然有价值。）

求求导演别再拍了 难看哭了 一份不能再多了 为什么没有负分
#Veneiza78 3.5/5(威尼斯日人民选择奖)
#我想做你荒漠的那个渔夫。
第一人称叙事，在那些诗一般淡淡的自语里，尽是感动。长镜运镜蒙太奇，结尾的时光回溯，我们哭着到来，哭着送别。
故事上两人的视角转变，结尾在合二为一，讲的不再是感情，而是文化和社会的现状。
湖边木屋，再养几只猛兽，一直想要这样的生活。
一名警察在经过内部调查后被停职，他在全国各地游荡，寻找自己的网恋对象。
怎么才能遇到这种痴情男人，千里迢迢去找真爱发现是男的，但是后面也想通了，接受了他。片尾曲好凄凉的感觉
