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'.

啊，请自由飞翔吧，斯宾塞。
虽然很喜欢k但不得不说她……真努力又没什么成效
电影贯穿始终的拉锯和焦灼非常到位，让人feel for di a lot。再加上可以说是美感十足的摄影和构图，怎么也不至于六点几分。几乎同时释出的大女主spencer和大男主ttb，这个对比简直了，时常被你瓣儿的电影评分激起莫名的胜负欲。被诟病overacted，但同时我确实看到她那股子灵动了。相反加菲多少年演技也没太大长进，一激动就表情乱飞，之前在加菲身上感受到的少年感现在也只剩下木
诚如片头语所言，这则来源于真实的寓言，残酷无情得令人无法呼吸。小K再一次证明她自己是一个细腻、神经质、美丽而又厉害的好演员。剧本打磨得非常精致，环环相扣的语调和词汇，紧密围绕主人公温柔而破碎的内心。

不太行，演员都在端着表演，KS发力过度，戴安娜很难引起共情，节奏迟缓又怪异，空洞的粗线条叙事缺乏焦点，构图与配乐营造焦虑压抑的氛围呼应主角精神状态，算是少有的优点。
非常典型的七分电影。这片于我而言最大的看点是《烧女图》的摄影，几处对称构图和小空间的调度都非常漂亮。圣诞夜出逃的爵士乐也是一绝。至于小K，可能大家对于美女比较宽容，个人觉得这个角色并不完全适合她，演得也缺乏层次，但导演非常准确地抓住了她的脆弱感，这是年轻一代的好莱坞女星非常罕见的特质。如果她未来能多在欧三大的体系里面打磨，拿奖也只是时间问题。
天呐戴安娜王妃 居然是小k，这转型好美快认不出来
我完全有理由相信 拍这部戏就是为了看小kk穿着Chanel疯狂的走来走去 好笑的是Diana最讨厌看见双C 情绪拉满了的戏看着好过瘾 最佳时髦铁T代言人的时装风采展罢了 就是很爱 想象一下 把这部电影改成一部 只有群演没有台词的独角戏 服装不变 台词不变 配乐不变 场地换成舞台 得多精彩
戴安娜和查尔斯在台球室吵架的那场戏，非常真实，生动，让人共情。创作放认为这是一部寓言式的悲剧，其实定位上跟观众拉开了距离，这是一部部彻彻底底的亲密关系悲伤样本，跟我们每个人的距离都很近。你难道不记得你只想要一句“你还好吗”，他/她和他们却质问你“为什么不守本分，不承担你的义务和责任”的时刻吗？
神烦这种电影为了格调，配上一堆unsetteling的弦乐渲染，人物对话和行动动机塑造的莫名其妙的神经质。完全忘记storytelling的本性，而是搞些所谓“文艺片”的噱头们。
Fragile and nihilistic. Still, what you need is love.
我想要離開這個地方，但是我不知道怎麼做才好，她做到了我一直不敢做的，在眾人面前發瘋，她的崩潰是我所沒有的勇氣。憂鬱的時候看了會更加憂鬱的電影。
“Fuck doctors. What you need is love. Love, shocks and laughter. Plenty of it.” 克莉丝汀·斯图尔特完成了她的演出。
整体上镜头的呼吸还是挺丝滑的。发现这种传记片，肢体、语气真的好难把握啊。
明明是在场的心理描摹，却时时刻刻隐含着对传统主义的预设批判。两种语态是相悖的，历史人物的消逝。小K宛如第一天正式上班的青春期残留份子，痛苦是真痛苦啊。
摄影和配乐是超神的，调度很库布里克很《血色将至》。但剧本无论台词还是情节都太干枯。安妮博林的安排太刻意。大美k太紧绷，像女豪杰上阵杀敌而不像王妃脱离pua
好看是真好看，指人和衣服；难看也是真难看，昏睡半程。
KStewart意外又合适，但是这个电影看得太难受了，又难受又长
好看是真好看，指人和衣服；难看也是真难看，昏睡半程。
