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'.

或许就是因为几乎按着原版来拍的 少了当代表达反而让片子没有了油腻的青春感//我们似乎从来都是“长大了你就明白了”这样的教育 并不会真的让你明白寻找人生中真正热爱的重要性 也不会告诉你做自己会有多快乐 只会告诉你人生短短几十年必须要完成某几项世俗意义上重要的事情仿佛成功尽在掌握 我们仿佛没有试错的机会也没有走弯路的时间//可惜了 反叛太难 我们最后还是会认同唯一一种价值观
不管不管，第一遍看非常投入非常动情想反复多看几遍多电影就是我心中的满分电影😭😭😭
三星半吧，作为翻拍片，前半部分本土化得相当不错了，和日版相比，照搬不过来的部分都做了比较合理的改动，没有硬来，也不尬演，后面改得我目瞪口呆，如果不胡来我本可以给8分的。据没看到IMAX场次的我估测，除了海豚那一段，没啥必要做IMAX，本以为片子最容易失败的地方在于选角，没想到是最成功的地方。Ps，有人骂这个片子卖肉卖腐，我咋没看出来，按理说我这雷达应该是宁搞错不放过啊，长津湖我都看到吴京朱亚文隐隐的cp感了。20211001北京槐房万达
其实同性片大多有一个问题，即两个人在一起的动机太像帅哥美女因颜值互相吸引一样，感情线还是有点弱。
（果然又是被世俗打败的爱情）
前面铺垫的很好，牵手接吻都刚刚好！还是百合的感情最纯洁，睡前打开放不下的电影！导演的信息还没有吗？
每次适时插入的钢琴对应着每一次心动瞬间
好磕吉米的颜，宗教真的太令人窒息，无论何时勇敢尊重自己的内心最重要，听到玛丽可要结婚那一段真的五雷轰顶，本来是简简单单谈个恋爱，最后直奔结婚去了……从心动到暧昧到再也抑制不住表露爱意这个过程最戳人。
多一星给导演 这个电影让我看到了一种可能性 不用什么流量演员也会让我感动 真的很棒！很多共情之处 因为普通我们就不努力了吗以及努力总会被看到的感觉是那么的好 愿电影不要被流量牵着鼻子走 皇帝的新衣愚昧地去评价一个差片多么的好 只因为他是名导演！名演员！
硬要说的话就是可以把暗处的储藏室看成柜子，最后激昂的出柜戏跟性向无关，但至少稍许挑战了传统性别秩序（尽管默许了男性要阳刚的性别观）。除了蛐蛐跟辛云来，其他演员包括群演都比较糟，还有我不能接受明明不适合还硬要逼自己/逼别人努力拼搏的观念，不适合就另谋高就另请高明才对。
期待越大 失望越大 耶和华传教的设定真的很下头 两个人之间缺少意境和氛围感 搂抱亲密的镜头甚至显得过剩了
《违命》前传啊
海岸的景色嵌上两位女主的背影也太美啦。俗人一个我实在无法理解怎样的信仰需要抛下深爱的人去结婚以达到“进入新世界”，怪不得要含泪连夜跑路。结局杰米有了新学校新炮友，玛利克接前任都要带娃还一脸憔悴，因为信仰也好迷茫也好两人实实在在地兜了一大圈，面对种种隔阂，我很难相信靠几句旧日情话就能重归于好。想来这些“短暂的假期里的相遇”已经很难拍出什么新花样了。
很多细致的地方看不真切，比如女主的姨母态度是复杂的，关于这个教，关于成长和爱的关系。个人感觉电影技巧真的很粗糙，而且不知为何我就是没办法产生cp感。弹钢琴那段想到烧女。
没被发现前，每一次亲热我都提心吊胆！好怕被发现后，被那些信徒以宗教之名对她们进行迫害、扭转治疗、驱魔仪式等手段。还好剧情走向不是如此😭俩人的情感戏好有张力……
愿称之为#first love never die#
什么鸟剧情，一个撩完就逃，一个唯唯诺诺，自己被洗脑了还硬洗别人的脑，这TMD是爱情？
夜幕下以上帝之名的亲吻，狭小空间里从背后传来的温热，浴缸里只属于彼此的洗礼，以及想把你的肉体揉进我灵魂的瞬间……那些都是我们相爱的证据。
指尖触碰 深深浅浅的吻 拉过你的手 背后的抱 把下巴搁在你的肩膀 心甘情愿地承认自己有罪 这些都好戳我
