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'.

这片子看的人好少啊，到现在也就只有八篇影评和五个讨论，还是要鼓励一下国产这种小制作的又比较精良的佳作吧，四星吧。

看看风景蛮好。东出都不用演吧，感觉他平时就这状态，道歉发布会上也是如此
技术上是真的不错，雷神有想法但缺少更好的底子做支撑，但是有一定接投资的能力，男主演的挺好的
和雄的“跨越栅栏”结尾已经十分明亮了，踏出草坪的那一刻更疯却也更自由，冲破束缚并非软弱者能作出的决定。一直以来他都是个只关注自己的人，衷心希望他永远自由，因为他很有可能就是某一个的我的缩影。而真正被遗留在世俗里的纯子，该有多孤独？迁就、忍让、小心翼翼，想找话题却毫无回音，生活琐屑里藏着她被否定的价值，于是她带着破碎的人生驶向未知。当那张脸变得毫无波澜，眼神变得静止，然后并不期待作答地问出“我们为什么会变成这样”时，是啊，我也想问佐藤泰志，是不是世界总会走向熵增，人生总会通往更糟。
意外的不错，每一个不同的选择都让我们变成不同的自己
才发现这些作品的编剧佐藤泰志就像银幕上的角色，自我预测的应验——结束了自己的生命。
就…
小树你怎么和小师叔在一起了... （异物志粉）不过主题也挺简单的，小成本，本来有机会刻画的更深一些，黑暗森林法则，最后还是平淡了... 找了个家人不缺但是女主空缺的副本去了，话说本科和博士差别那么大吗... hhhhhh
blue那部我就觉得东出会演戏了，夜以继日和唐田明明烂透。
人生为什么只能有一直往前、直到头破血流这条路呢。
看完好想跑步是真的。上一部看完产生这种感觉的是MIU404。
虽然故事最后结束的莫名其妙，就这样当作家了？但还挺温馨的。喜欢这个调调，全是书的酒吧，蓝色的跑车，那个年代的歌曲，弑父才能长大，很可爱的小孩，棒棒的舅舅。
其实平平淡淡，家人健康平安就是最大的幸福吧。
还有些玩味的地方，比如胖子哥可能其实一开始就是被另外一个空间替换的。
看到男主颤抖着手疯狂往嘴里倒抗抑郁药时我脑袋直接一轰，彼时才刚离开自己怀孕的温柔老婆，却在楼下独自一人寻死，不是不自爱啊是太自爱了，自爱到一种自私，抑郁主体客体丧失满腔都只剩自我感受，于是开始自我攻击，眼中的世界已然颠倒到毫无意义，抑郁患者狠狠共情了，东出昌大演得好对味，奈绪老婆也很kawa。海边、小镇、少年、烟花、跑步、滑板、死亡，片子的这种调调太喜欢了，眼泪要夺眶而出。比起名和利，世俗的欲望，快乐和幸福才是生活的永动机啊。

全篇最大的彩蛋就在于全篇都是对叔叔的回忆录！
只有三个人，但都演得很好，男女主太给力了。场景画面非常有氛围。用心了，有空间悬疑的感觉。
确实挺温柔的，但是不疼不痒的不知道乔治.克鲁尼到底想讲个啥。
