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'.

4.5。我就喜欢这种魔怔，另类，无厘头的荤段子轻喜剧，这里面有一整套别具一格的表演方法，在流畅的镜头编排下让人目不暇接，夸张的大特写以及不伦不类的台词，想笑又有点不知道该怎么接，就是很特别的观影体验，有林奇电影的那种鬼魅，张力随时溢出荧幕的快感，片子里很多大腕串场，除了西恩潘，萨夫迪，还有印象深刻演了个傻X的布莱德利库珀，他们搞笑的讽刺了大环境下的一类群体，可能也包括他们自己，还有女主这么酷毙，为啥不给个提名呢？
倒开车剧情帅到爆。
如果换一个男主我大概也不至于这么痛苦。很少给电影人的心血打一颗星，但这次我真的受不了了，谢谢哈
PTA拍青春片就这？还不如lady bird来的直接爽快
劇情有點粗糙，但拍得不錯。本來可以是一個我願意打四星的「男人都不行」的故事，最後非要為了眾裡尋他千百度後的驀然回首設定跟小胖子happy ending 我不是很想接受。
陪闺女看，换新马了，名字还没记住，还是好朋友
完成度非常高的网飞动画IP电影 整个顺下来都特别舒服 sunny 蓬蓬松松的头发不扎好好看呐 虽然只有两秒…
“注意我在舞台上给出的信号，我会说一个专属于你的玩笑。”
疯批的爱情故事，70年代的洛杉矶和摇滚乐充满了复古的味道，Cooper那段笑的肚子疼。
beautiful。看了一下其他评论，哇哦：）
摄影机也跟着他们急促地奔跑起来，除了对话那处的甩镜和进出的横摇之外，更好的是拍出明快的轻巧与散漫。因为极佳的影像体验，开头貌不经心的对白都让人觉得饶有趣味。电影从视听层面上，已将自由活力赋形为跑向的速度感，其很棒的复古质感和选的音乐都作为节奏型，促成一个小情爱。一次完美的精准怀旧，既沉迷又让我觉得好爽。四星半
惊喜是在1小时肖恩潘出来那一刻我就知道我不用接着看了，不是不好，是还不够好
看了PTA四五部片子，反而是这部风评最差的对了我的胃口，值得反复拉片的摄影和剪辑，主人公脸上合时宜的青春痘，大时代下迷惘混沌又恣意蓬勃的小青年，被时代推着滚动前进，像美国风情画一样的剧本，多少是有些散漫，但绝不是个小格局的糖水片
非一般青春片，是致加州（中部山谷）的情歌。我喜欢里面那些有层次、有生活质地甚至历史感的笑料，神经病夫们的造像也全都非常加州，而且戏仿《出租车司机》的副线也看出来了。据说片名来自当年一家唱片店的名字：黑胶盘的尺寸与小号比萨相当，而有一种甘草糖外表也令人联想到密纹黑胶。
是没看过这个类型的爱情片，可也不咋感人啊，无法共情
无疑是很私人的一部，意外的喜欢，PTA的70年代记忆碎片，随性自然、轻盈散漫又诙谐有趣，观感十分愉悦，PTA的视听层面依旧惊艳，真的太会拍了，两个新人演员都表现尚佳，相差13岁的奇怪恋情，串起一个个独特的小情节与人物，完全被PTA的私人世界折服，几个大牌的客串都令人印象深刻，特别是Bradley Cooper，短短几场戏可比《玉面情魔》里惊艳多了，这里对各色男性的审视，以及女主的很多戏份都看的出PTA的女性视角尝试，要说其实从《魅影缝匠》就开始转变了
整体不如《失恋失调》。导演选择的女主都有种荷尔蒙过度溢出的熟透感，未老先衰在他的电影里像是褒义词。

动画不错，但剧情方面只能说太方便了，过于草率，越后面越草率；结局的氛围倒是有点G4那味。主角团的性格很鲜明也颇讨喜，同时曲风方面更丰富了，歌很多都不错。陆马作为相对缺乏特色的一族一直显得弱势，但从彩蛋上看，或许未来能有所改变——有友谊就有魔法！总体上，作为新世代的开始，本部电影当然远称不上理想，但也不算很令人失望，毕竟是子供向嘛……
什么鬼！看Paul Thomas Anderson看出了千年女优是怎么一回事？！导演本人是不是lock down里光看日剧了？！最后的奔跑蒙太奇我都要看哭了。本来中间程觉得都太长了大概只能给三星的。没想到结尾兜的也太懂了。各位导演最近都爱拍迷影向的电影么。这片的私心也太重了，一堆PTA粉参演，跟今年的Wes Anderson如出一辙是怎么一回事。
