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'.

没想到还能看到艾玛汤普森60岁出演这样的作品，英国老牌演员真是各个不让人失望！
3.0。看眼海報就能想出劇情的大致落點，全然屬於乘著女性主義浪潮的陳舊雞湯，並且沒有看出非要拿這個劇本拍電影而不是做成舞台劇的必要性。
PS，教科书般的舞台调度、转场，官方版的镜头、角度切换，再加上好的故事名垂青史不过分
8.5/10
西方敏感题材，个人实在无法一样地共情，只能说确实月圆，或许上海能做的更好，西安肯定不行。
故事内容的立意大概拔高了影片的口碑分数。
音乐剧真是美式爱国主义的灵魂，眼泪从开头被煽到片尾。用少量演员来凝聚表现一万多人和三十八架飞机在五天内的故事，场景上的极简反而做到了最佳的想象力。
百老汇原版原本会在2020年4月在天桥上演，疫情原因演出取消，舞台影像记录了2021年在百老汇的重演。
这个小男生治愈了这个女人，但是他的治愈还没有完成，也许永远都没法完成。这个小男生在浴血黑帮里就挺好看的，美貌出众。
被艾玛汤普森惊得目瞪口呆，她接这个戏是被下蛊了吗？看似是个打开身体承受欢愉的女性觉醒题材，最后却把中产阶级这张皮扒得毛都不剩。不过纯聊天的内容实在太多了点。
be anxious for nothing.
这调度也太牛逼了吧，一群人几张椅子几件衣服讲述一个5天里元素多到爆的故事，期待改成迷你剧

非常好看的小品式电影，两人一室，对话支撑情节，两位主演优雅的气质让一场令人不齿的性交易变得浪漫充满了趣味。相互救赎的好莱坞烂俗桥段，却是建立在一场性交易的设定让电影有了新意，这部电影的核心表达依然是快感是一种力量，把自己的快感握在自己手里，可以带来非常解放的人生体验。
真的很厌恶女主角这种人但也觉得她很可悲。这样的性也很可悲，我个人看来。
#22#44一开始还端着大有劝鸭从良的扭捏和矫情，最终还是成功和自我和解。大抵曾经有过类似的经历，当然没有钱。“性圣人”的背后是对对面女性莫大的尊重，也是对自己真实生活中不堪的一种逃离。而在这过程中，能相互慰藉实属幸事。然而，现实中抽离时难像故事中那样美好平和，有人会认真就注定有人会受伤
在世界的边缘呼唤爱
或许从另一个方面解读，是否将自己全盘托出 消除隔阂 是能否获得极致的性爱体验的原因之一?
再好再温柔的男菩萨也有不能触碰的软肋，与此同时，再苍老再固执的身体也可以入驻一颗年轻自由的心脏，正视自己，才能灵肉合一，只是及时行乐的性，彼此理解的真诚，这一切也都必须在进一步了解前将其阻断。小成本，但内容够，Emma Thompson演绎这个角色，自然得心应手，年下应召男也很优秀。
没想到主演竟然是艾玛汤普森，真是只有欧洲电影才敢让82岁的老女人做主角，何况这部电影讲述老年女人购买MB获得自身性解放的故事，有很大尺度的裸戏，配戏的MB演员身材颜值都很不错，今年29岁。在电影中是个善解人意堪称性圣的专业鸭子工作者，非常有意思的电影
